echo answers, where! We answer: Will

very lmceremoniously passed out of
Sleepy Eye. 1t is said that at q certain
point in the upper air, everything
blends in perfect concord. and Will,
being harrassed to death by the dis

added impetus to his flight and put his

have TUNED aside before his pursuers
approached, climbeda tree, and now

Iday are occurring little spectacular
episodes, interludes in the grand po-
litical opera, apparently insignif-
cant, and almost indefnable, but,
for those who have eyes to discern
them, not without imp ortance in the
swelling history Of the times. A
few days ago [ saw the senator from
Mississippi, whom Senator Conkling
has called a jesuit, and the ablest
man from the south, walk the entire
length of the Avenue from the Capt.
tol to Willards, nearly mile, with
Senator Bruce from the same State,
and the only colored senator in
Congress. There has never been
any social recognition Of colored
people here; no matter what politi-
| cal distinctions their constituencies
may have conferred upon them when
they reach Washington they find the
social barricade impregnable, and it
may be said to their credit, that they
make no effort to scale it. This os-
tracism is solely on account of race,
for it cannot be desired that few

Col. Mosby, Of Virginia, who is for
Grant first, last and all the time, he
asked him, Do you know the new

In the absence of definite news of any i'm
portance concerning the European unpeaS-
altneSs, the American quilldriver is con-
rained to resort to statistics, showing the
capacities of each of the prospective belliger-
ents in respect to men, money, credit ships
criminals. paupers, pig iron and various other
3tems, which are supposed to indicate in a
greater or less degree the comparative power
and prosperity of the rival nations. The
financial condition of Russia excites the deep
est cOmmiSeratiOn. She has increased her
debt as the result of the recent war with Tur-
key over s60O,OOO,OOO. In the past her expenses
have rarely been kept within her revenues,
and now the latter have been decreased nearly
Si5,00OOOO, and the deficiency will increase in
case matters are kept at the present tension

OF the currency as well as by the heavy OutlayS

Altogether, Russia may have good reason to
sigh for an international, bankrupt law. 1t is
very hard to predict with any exactnesS what
effect England'S wealth and RuSSia'S poverty

doubt the SinewS of war, but as long as ma

Montgomery Blair is in state of mind on
account of the cold shoulder given by leading
democrats to his scheme for Ousting HAYES
from the Presidency. He has written a wrath
full letter, in which he says:
Too many of those now holding influential
positions in the democratic party have been
demOrallZed politically. They have no longer
any respect for the constitution or faith i'm the
people, and have allied themselves with money
and speculative schemes TO make the most for
themselves and their localities. This is the
secret of their compromising the felony by
which Hayes obtained office. As the case now
stands before the public, the democratic party
Is saddled with the odium of a transaction
WHICH may be summed thus:-TiIden, north
ern Union man of the JacksOn-Benton stripe,
who was elected by the people to put down
corruption and monopoly and corporate gov
ernment, was depOSed upon fraudulent elec-
ton returns under bargain with Hayes and
Tom Scott to establish southern Credit Mo-
bllier Sw!ndle and plumber the Treasury with
southern claims, the intriguers refusing to
allow St.te-one of the Old thirteen-to ques-
ton the fraud in the courts of Justice Let
this continue and the inevitable result will be
the restoration of Grant in 1880 by the rally of
the whole north"

The public hardly need to have their atten-
heavily in the matter of school books There
IS no reason in being charged a dollar for a
book upon which fifty cents would Weld a
handsome profit both 10 author and publisher
1t is time this school book combination was
broken--I Detroit NecS.
There is wide opening for reform in the
way of stopping the sehool-bo swindle. The
price of the books Is not only entirely too high,
but through the operations of the school book
drummers an unnecessary number of books
are required for the pupil. The frequent
changes of text books in the interest of the
drummers is another evil. Here, where the
taxpayers are compelled to pay for the school
books of the large number of pupils whose
parents are too poor to buy them, the burden
for the purchase of this large requirement of
high priced books, falls pretty heavily.

We suppose the District committee of the
House in amending the District bill, by making
the rate of taxation sl.75 instead of $50 on the
hundred, counted upon a heavy reduction
being made upon the inflated assessments pre-
vailine here. Members of Congress who think
$50 light tax, base their belief upon their
home assessment rates, which are generally
considerably below the value of property.
whereas in this District there is scarcely sin
gle piece of property that would sell for more
than half the assessed value. If the tax is to
be increased, the assessed value should be
reduced at least One-half and there should be
a large reduction any way.

Tine d>patch from New York published in
Wednesday evenings STAR relative to the
deaths on the steamer Rotterdam occurring
in the absence of medical attendance, coupled
with the statement that there was a chest OF
medicines in the captains charge, which he
did not dare to administer for want of proper
directions, points lesson which Congress
would do well to heed. Vessels of the United
States bound from port in this country to
any foreign port, or Gf Is tons or mOre) from
an Atlantic to Pacific port are obliged BY
law to carry medicine chests. This law has
been in existence since 1890, and was am ended
and amplified in 1905 and 1872; but the kind
and character of the medicines, as We'll as the
proper directions for their use, are left to tn
discretion of the captain of the vessel or of
the druggist who makes business of putin :
up ships medicine chests aud the object of
the law is accordingly to a great extent de-
feated. There is now bill before the COM
mittee on commerce of the House which is
intended to remedy this evil, and the matte 1
