We have been handed the fol-
loving paragraph by a friend, who
does not seem profoundly impress
ed with the elevating tendencies Of
| politics: "When a man, who has
naturally no moral perceptions, gets
into politics, there seems to be moth

expecting to secure postion under
Gen. c. w. Mead, late Of the n.
F., on the Mo. Kansas e. Texas r.

Helena. The gentlemen are enthu-
siastic over the practical success of
