THE GRANT BOOM.

The GRANT boom is now booming al
never before. The refrain is taken up Will
vigor all over the country, and the Demo
Gratis are Ginning in the chorus with won
derful zeal aud fervor There are more
Democrats to-day booming the GRANT boom
than are found booming the booms of all
the Democratic Presidential candidates put
together Democratic booms sing exceed
ing small beside the GRANT boom. SEY-
NioUR is nowhere, BAYARD recluso, TIL
DEN silent sepulchre, THURMAN a fugitive
in expatriation and DAVID DAVIS a dead
weight in the Democratic anthem of booms.
| East, West, North and even in the South
the boom comes up in full chorus and seems
to as far exceed all other booms in volume
and power as the artillery of Heaven ex-
ceeds the explosive reverberatons of the
Chinese drecrackcr.
Perhaps the GRANT boom is receiving its
sudden impulse from the fact that the
Democrats have taken hold of it by way of
experiment. as very little In that line can
he done just now on their own side.
STEPHENS and GORDON are booming for
GRANT in Georgia, aud their kindred spirits
in tho other Southern States are beginning
to tune their voices to that lay. 4 WAT
TERsON the last remains of the 'TILDEN
BOOM has recently commissioned jour
neyman boomer to visit Chicago and
tap public sentiment there in regard to
the next Presidency. The result of this
effort is spread over three and a-holf
columns of its space to show the peo-
pie Of Kentucky how the land lies and
what the Presidential outlook now is.
Nearly score of public men, many of
whom are stanch Democrats, were subjected
to the extractive power Of the syphon,
and it was GRANT! GRANT! GRANT, from
DooLITTLE to CARTER HARRISON, includ-
ing SPRINGER and THOMAS HoYNE and
others, who agree that GRANT is "a grand,
" great man. This is the spread that WAT
TERsoN furnishes the people Of Kentucky
as send.olf to the GRANT boom in the Blue
Grass section, and all of Kentucky Bourbon
as it is from centre TO circumference, is bound
to take taste and see how good the GRANT
boom is. If the Democrats have taken
hold of this matter as a mere experiment
OF for the fun of the thing, they will find
that it will stick like wax and they cannot
shake it off at pleasure. Such are the pres
ent aspects of the GRANT boom, and those
who first set this ball in motion have now
only to look on comnlacently and see 1t
boom on to victory. 1t can no more be

CHICAGO bids for the next Republican
National convention by parading enticing
information regarding her hotel accommo-
dations, supplemented by an offer of re-
duced railroad rates. This latter fact is of
especial interest to the people of this Dis
trict, for it is the only point wherein Chi
cago offers superior inducements to the
convention to those we can offer. Our hotel
facilities are incompatible; but it always
happens-most always, at least-that the
railroads connecting us with the country at
large fail to reduce their rates on such occa-
sions. This fact WAS fully illustrated
during the late reunion of the Army of the
Cumberland, when the reduction of fares
was refused by those companies altogether
or withheld until the last moment, thereby
seriously interfering with the success of
that display.

If the Young Mems Republican club of
the District, or the Republican League, its
successor, is not recognized very soon, some
other movement Of similar import should
be set on foot. The fact that the Republic
can party here in the District is without
head or tail so lnr as organization is con-
cerned, is the occasion OF great regret au
inexcusable neglect which cannot be reme-
died too soon. And, in this connection in
dependent Of any cIubrcyival or reorganiza-
tion, we have topropose that the party shall
be revived aud recognized throughout the
entire District, For this purpose it would,
perhaps, be advisable to begin from the
ground up, and call regular ward aud pre-
cinct meetings, based on the old plan, for
the choice Of delegated convention 1t
would then become the competent duty of
such convention to select general and
executive committees for the future. As
the matter now stands, we believe there are
no regularly authorized committees of this
kind in existence all pretentions in that
direction having been abandoned by mu-
tual consent all around. Who will set the
ball in motion?

about 81 100000. Mr.. T~illinghast, the Pres-
ident of the Canada Southern Railway Com
pany, says that the location chosen for this
great undertaking is the only one where the
tunnel can be made through the rock, Us II

Of the water at the points selected. At De-
troit the rock Is nearly 100 feet below tAs

You were christened by Eve.

What they said and they did, he and she,
How nice 1t would be!

Of France, in old days,
Who spied you and loved you and called you

Caressingly, as to a pet,
By the name Mignon-ette?
All summer you grow in my garden,
All summer I keep
A bunch of your flowers beside me
Awake or asleep.
And your breath like q voice seems to say
Loving words all the day.
So, whether in France or Eden
'Tis all one TO me,
Yours is just the best name, Little Darling,
Could possibly be,
And though no one had taught me, I yet
Should say-Mignonette.

How many miles to Baby Land?
Any one IAN tell:
If you stray
From the way,
Comes an awful yell.
What al you see in Baby Land?
Squirming little race,
Feet and fist
All atwist,
Seldom a clean face.
What do you do in Baby Land?
Wake and fret and cry,
Collie, hives, 90
Make our lives
YEARLY pass by.
What do they say in Baby Land?
Only one sound there
Wah, wah, wah,
Wah, wah, wah,
Greets one everywhere.
Who is queen in Baby Land?
Mother, worn and thin,
Tired of sound,
Hunts around,
Finds a wicked pin.

Where Religion and Science Clash.

As poets the priesthood would have been
justified; their deities, celestial and other
wise, with all their retinue and appliances,
being more or less legitimate symbols and
presentations of the aspects of nature and
the phases of the human soul. The priests,
however, or those among them who were
mechanics and not poets, claimed objective
validity for their conceptions, and tried to
base upon external evidence that which
sprang from the innermost need and nature
of man. 1t is against this objective rendering
of the e~inotions-this thrusting into the re-
gion of fact and positive knowledge, Of con-
ceptions essentially ideal and poetic-that
science consciously or unconsciously wages
war. Religious feeling is as much verify as
any other part of human consciousness and
against it, on its subjective side, the waves of
science beat in vain. But when, manipula-
ted by the constructive imagination, mixed
with imperfect or inaccurate historic data,
and moulded by misapplied logic, this feeling
traverses our knowledge of nature, science,
as in duty bound, stands as a hostile power
in its path. 1t is against the NEUROLOGICAL
scenery, if / may use the term, rather than
against the lite and substance of religion,
that science enters. her protest. Sooner or
later among thinking people, hat scenery
will be taken for what it is worth-as an eff
fort on the part OF man to bring the mystery
of life aud nature within the range of his Ca
pacities as a temporary and essentially f1uX-
tional rendering in terms of knowledge OF
that which transcends all knowledge, and adj
mits only of ideal approsch.-Prof. Tyadal,
in Popular Science Monthly for January.

THANKSGIVING Day.

Thanksgiving day this year in this lati-
tude will go down to fame as a rainy,
murky, dreary one, differing materially
in the weather line from the Thanksgiv-
ing days we are generally accustomed
to enjoy in this climate. Due observance
was rendered the festival here, however,
consisting of a partial suspension of bust
ness, the grand Thanksgiving dinner at
the Exchange, given under the auspices
of the ladies of the Congregation church,
and the customary family and social re-
unions. The union services announced
to be held at the Methodist church in
honor of the day were postponed and
held last Sunday evening, Rev. w. A.
Hendrickson delivering the sermon, which
is highly spoken of for it's fine thought
and appropriateness to the occasion. The
Congregational ladies were well reward
ed financially for the pains and trouble
they bestowed upon notwithstanding re-
past that was so much of a joy and COM
fort to the large number of guests they SO
sumptuously entertained Merit must
have its reward and it is pleasant to
know that in this instance there was no
exception made to the rule.

The following under the above caption
from the Milwaukee Sentinel will per-
haps be of interest to some of our readers:
That Ashley d. Harger seldom either
gets in or out of business like anybody
else need not be impressed upon those
who know him, and those who do not will
need no further proof of the truth of this
assertion than his last eccentricity which
his South Side partner E. d. LOOMS, has
made matter Of court record 1t is in
the County Court LOOMS wants to have
the copartnership formed May dissolved
and a receiver appointed 1t will be re-
membered that the two engaged in the
printing business. LOOMS says in his
complaint that the written agreement
then entered into has been parloined by
Harger, but goes on to tell what it was
one-half the profits of the business to each.
On the Bird of the present month the de-
fendant took possession of the books of
the firm, and refused to let the plaintiff
get the slightest sniff at them. Harger
also, it is stated, without his partner
consent, and without any dissolution of
the business union, went to publish
ing newspaper on his own account.
Under the circumstances LOOMS believes
that the legal bonds of business should
be formerly dissolved by the court.
