Its ingredients are so skilfully COM

as to be harmless even to children, it is
still SO effectual as to purge out from the

WASHINGTON dispatches say the Republi-
can members OF the Potter committee have
evidence at command that will give the Dem
ocrats a fine opportunity for extended expla-
nations. 1t Is no less than a charge made
by cousin of Governor Nichols, who was
deputy sergeant-at-arms of the Stenger sub
committee which visited New Orleans early
last summer, to the effect that money was
raised and paid for good deal of the evidence
taken by the Democrats at that time, IL
will be remembered that a number of the
witnesses who had made affidavits of fraud
and intimidation in connection with the
residential election before the returning
board, appeared before Stenger's committee
and denied their evidence before the return
ing board. Lieutenant Martin says these
witnesses were hunted up and paid in moa-
ey for the testimony they gave. In some
cases, however. they received promise that
if they wo1ld re.ract their former testimony
they would be allowed to return to their
homes from which they had been banished
on account of the statements they had made
before the returning board. Lieutenant
Martin further says that he was instructed
when he summoned the witnesses to ascer-
tain whether they would give testimony of
value to the Democrats, and, in case it was
found they would not, to report them to the
committee as "not found" The affidavit
goes into details and sets forth the Demo-
cratic dealings with Lieutenant Martin him
self whom they supposed they hal success
fully purchased.

The Trials of an Editor.

Mr.. Willard A. Cobb. himself journalist,
in an address at Lockport, N. Y, recently,
told his audience what some of the trials of the
newspaper are. He enumerated the following:
"The placidity with which correspondents
write upon both sides of the sheet, thus setting
all the compostors to breaking the third COM
maudmeet; the appearance in the sauctum of
ths man who hiss a grievance; tbs presence of
the iend who carries away the best exchanges;
the coming-n of the man with the latest news
-one of those characters who has an idea that
when he goes West the East tips up, and rice
Uersa" Mr.. Cobb might have addsd to that
last clause the man who comes to the editors
private room to ask what is the news; also the
man who has come in for "a little talk" Sto-
ries of ludlcrous typographical blunders are le-
gion in number and Mr.. Cobb recalls several
good ones. By the droppng-out of single let
ter the book Of Common Prayer" once went

changed in the twinkling of an eye," trans
formed into. "We shall all be hanged in the
twiDkling of an eye." A poet who wrote, 'See
the pale martyr in sheet of fire." was startled
. GO see his line changed into "See the pale mar-
tyr With bis shirt on fire." Mr.. Cobb is quite
right 10 thinking such transgressous are as
psrdonable as the bluuders sometimes made in
other professions, and tells the story of the min-
ister who was asked to read the following no.
tice: "A man having gone to sea, his wife de-
slres the prayers of the church." aud, by the
misplacing of comma in reading it, gravely
told the congreg atio2 that "a man having gone
to see his wife, desires the prayers of the
church."

LoNDoNERs bold that Regent street, the
chief thoroughfare in the richest quarter of
the wealthiest city in the world, is not what
it ought to be in all respects, and there is
now on foot scheme for its improvement,
which at first sight appears more of dream
than practical project. The promoters
have ir In their minds to cover the whole
street with glass roof stretching above the
caves Of the houses on either side, thus
affording complete protection from rain,
while at tie same time insuring good ventila-
tion. After dark the huge arcade would be
Illuminated by electric lights placed at
regular intervals along the centre of the
arch, thereby diffusing more pleasant and
equal light than under ordinary circum-
stances. One of the greatest defects of Re-
gent street at present is its macadam pave
ment, which, in wet weather, produces seas
of slusb, and in dry, clouds of dust. This,
also, would be taken in hand for improve
ment, the object sought being the substitu-
ton of some form of pavement which shall
be noiseless, clean, safe for horses, and not
so liable to fall out of repair. With view
to render unnecessary the constant breaking
up OF the street, the gas aud water pipes
would be carried up to the roof, where they
could be repaired without difficulty. Such
are the salient features of the scheme.

SAYS the Philadelphia Times: ''The po-
litical wiseacres are quoting just now say
ing attributed to Mr.. Sumner, that no man
ever went from the Senate chamber to the
White House. Undoubtedly, as matter of
history, it is true. John Adams had just
been Vice President and so had Jefferson.
Madison came from the State department
over to the Executive Mansion, and In his
footsteps trod the two next Presidents, Mon
roe and John Quincy Adams. Jackson had
been in the Senate, but had left in 1925, four
years before he entered the White House.
Martin Van Buren, like Adams aud Jeffer'
son, came from the Weep residency; Harri-
son came from his farm at North Bend, Ty-
Ter from the Vice-Presidency, Polk from pri
vate life-he had last been Governor of Ten
nessee-Taylor from his military victories !;
Fillmore from the Vice-Presidency again !;
Pierce from private life, Buchanan from the
English Mission; Lincoln from the prairie
hustings and courts; johnson from the Vice
Presidential seat which he had scarcely
warmed, Grant from the head of the army,
Hayes from the Governorship of his State
and so the list is exhausted.

If the Union was worth Hgh,ing for il Is
worth paying for.
The Eighth Of January,

The Eighth of January is fete-day with
the Democratic party of this country, as the
Fifteenth of August i, with the French I'm
perialists. The French celebrate the birth
of the founder of the Napoleonic dynasty,
the Americans battle won by the founder
of the Democratic party. Unfortunately the
Imperialsts can find nothing to celebrate in
the fortunes ofthe heirs of the First Napoleon,
and as unfortunately the Democrats find
little to be proud of in the record of Jackson's
party successors; so both fall back upon an
cient "reminiscences. The battle of New Or
leans is the latest conflict for which the Dem
ocracy furnished hero. In the glorious
battles for the preservation of the Union the
majority of the party took part, but on the
wrong and losing side, and what heroes it
had it gave TO the Confederate, not to the
Federal cause. Thus those who did meet in
the decade from 1860, and for some years
later, to celebrate Jackson's victory, were
men of peace, having no lot nor part in war
like achievements. Now, however, warriors
meet in council, and the timid brethren will,
as in the days of the war, fall to the rear.
In the West this year it is understood that
the soft-money Democrats propose to honor
the memory of the hard-money and anti
bank Jackson by making speeches and pass
Ing resolutions in favor of making the ma
tional Treasury bank of issue and of hay.
ing paper currency. In the South the men
who fought for four years to destroy the
Union will meet to honor the man who de-
clared that the Union must and shall be pre-
served, and the men who now daily obstruct
the execution of United States laws will
praise the executive who sternly repressed
notification. The spectacle will be edifying
as an illustration of the zeal with which the
Democracy exalt inconsistency into a virtue,
and perhaps Of further value as forecast of
the position the party will take on national
issues.

Facts Little Understood by the Public.
IFrom the Hartford Courant.1

tFrom the Hartford Courant.l
A friend asks why it is that the prize Of he
daily newspaper does not drop with the prices
OF clothing and provisions. 1t is 8 reasonable
question and shall have frank answer. The
newspapers Of the frst-olss, arc better now
than they were few years ago, and the cost
OF pro o1ucing them is more, while their receipts
for advertising are much lees than formerly.
The newspapers have shared to the full the
hardness of the times. Few Of them have
made much money since 1878; many OF the
most important newspapers have been pub
lished without profit, some at loss. Every
daily paper in the country, so far as we know,
Is sold at much below its cost,-it depends
wholly upon the advertising for making up the
deficit When business is poor the newspaper
Is the grst 20 feel It.
But for the fact that the price Of white paper
has fallen since the war, many newspapers
would be Compelled to suspend or greatly In
