A MoUTHPIECE FOR THE NATIONALS. -

NEW NEWSPAPER WHICH BEGINS ITS CAREER
WITH EXPRESSIONS nor COMFORTING TO DEM
oCRATs.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.I
WASHINGTON, May 4.-The first issue of the
new weekly Greenback organ The National Vieo, has a
peared under the editorial management OF Colonel Lee
Cranda secretary or the Executive Committee OF the
National GreenbackLabor party Published here in
Washington the aim Of this paper will be to become the
OF the opinions OF prominent National
leaders on financial questions Whether it has "come
TO stay" or not remains TO be seen.
The first number shows that lives long enough, 1t
is likely make considerable trouble for the Democratic
party 1t assais in very lively the proposition
for a coalition between Greenbackers and Democrats.
This from the National organ of the National party is
not very comforting Democrats, especially In Ohio.
Referring to the subject of coalition. The VieD says,
The folly Of men who call themselves Greenbackers
Natonalsts and who cling TO the notion OF uniting with
ton of Tilden and Randall IS SO apparent that is
worth while TO protest against the folly Any fusion,
coalition or alliance OF the Greenbackers with the
Democratic leaders IN Congress or out OF Congress will
end In defeat
The paper also gives the Democrats in Congress
severe thrust their much ado about nothing over the
Army at the polls. 1t saysi
The howl for the removal Of the troops from the polls
ike an afterthonght to Southern members in the
face the fact that President Hayes against the sen
men of his party, removed the troops from the Southern
States, The real objective point is the removal OF super
troops" 1t is impossible to be logical and dishonest
the same moment The Democratic leadership is like
Cycops with s eye punched out Yet this is the party
that boasts OF its acts and traditions. This B tho party
that claims kin Jefferson, who purchased Louisiana
and the Southwest kin to jackson, who overthrew the
United states Bank, kin TO Polk, who annexed Texas
aud conquered Mexico and made the UuiOn an ocean
bound Republic. Republican leadership no longer on
its legs sits like MorGecal at the gate waiting for the
scafOld to be erected.

The following Associated Press dis.
patch was sent from New York. "The
Metropolitan elevated railway is PACK
Ing It's rails with saud, tar and cotton to
lessen the noise, having paid Mrs. Wal
ton, the inventor, $40 600 Tor the iuyen
ton. Sae Is boarding house keeper in
this city"
And hereby depends tale. Dir. Har-
rvs. DAVIS, native OF Oswego, bat now
engaged in business in New York, boards
with Mrs. Walton. On lazy summer
day last season Mrs Walton asked him
if he didn'5 want 10 make a speculation,
and proceeded to unfold a plan Tor dead
ening the noise OF the elevated railroad.
She related that when little girl her
fathers Rouse was situated in the same
block with blacksmith SHOP, which be.
came 20 great & nuisance that upon ap-
piiCatioD % the residents in that locality,
he was ordered to remove his, shop. Her
father went to tue blacksmith and told
him that he could fix him so he needn't
move. Thereupon he placed the suvils
IN box filled with sand and other mate
-ials, the blacksmith closed up his doors,
the noise ceased, and it was a couple OF
weeks before the neighborhood knew the
smith had not moved out.
She then disclosed to Mr.. Davis plan
for enclosing the guard rail OF the ele-
waited roads in a box filed with sand
tar and cotton. Dir. Davis procured a
caveat, showed the invention TO the
Metropolitan elevated railroad COM sny,
and they applied it to q. couple of Blocks
OF their track. 4 short time lstas the
company represented that they had pre-
viously discovered the same method, and
it was found that they had fled esyeat
subsequent to Mr.. Davis. He thereupon
filed a notice of interference. SuEse-
guently an arrangement WAS reached
whereby the company OoVenanlsd to
adopt the patent, project 1t from, itigs>

when it should be applied to a mile OF
their track, and another when it should
be applied on the entire line, and Mrs,
Walton to have half the income from sit
application to other roads. mr. Davis,
we understand, is entitled to hslt OF the
moneys derived from the introduction

The manager If he were at home, which

therefore, with daring humor, wrote in

seeing there were no funds in the bank
to meet it-snd dishonored the check.
