report exonerate Judge Blodgett from
all charges of corruption.
The State Senate will have no biennial
sessions in theirs. The Senate is certain
" a very conservative body.
AGNES made a dismal failure of his
greatest effort to unseat Butler. As
failure Agnes is a decided success.
KEARSEY will hardly visit the presi-
dent again. Hayes doesn't need to play
for the California vote as his running
days are over.
The two houses failed to agree on the
appropriation bills, and the president has
called an extra session, congress to meet
on the 18th inst.
IT was all right to unseat Butler who
was duly admitted, sworn III and who
served as q senator. But to question
HAYES title was revolution. Consisten-
cy, thou art fraud.
r. D. EVANS represents Lawrence
University at the state oratOrlcal contest
at Beloit this year. There was rather
stormy time IN Appleton, in making the
selection of champion.
An SIN in China need not be alarmed.
He is still at liberty to clasp hands with
All Sin in America. The president has
killed the anti Chinese bill, and the
house failed to pass it over his veto.
If the Prince Imperial manages to
build up military reputation in Zulu
done, lie may so far commend himself to
the French people as to be elected presi-
dent. A coup de etat would then be in
order.
WISCONSIN will pay no more bounties
for wolf scalps. The killing of wolves
had grown mp to be regular branch of
business, and wolves were raised for the
purpose of obtaining the bounty offered
by the state.
PRESIDENT HAYES is being bitterly de-
nounced by the people of the Pacific
slope for his veto of the anti Chinese
bill. The papers Of California are al
most unanimous in their expression Of
dissatisfaction.
IT is said that the Berlin mission lies
between ex-senator Ramsey cf Minneso-
ta and and Henderson Of Missouri, with
the chances in favor of Ramsey, as Hen
dersons republicanism is not extreme
enough to suit the stalwarts.
NINE. LA CHAPELLE is not at all anx-
ious to repeat her late experience. She
says she would not undertake q similar
walk for worlds. 1t is about time that the
public ceased to take interest in such
unnatural exhibitions of endurance.
JEFF. DAVIS caused quite discussion
in the senate lately, while the bill for
pensioning Mexican soldiers was under
consideration. JEFF was finally excluded
from the provisions of the bill. A small
matter, truly. Jeff will feel honored by
the notice he received.
WHEN two pugilists pummel each other
in the northern states, republican papers
head the accounts: "The Prize Ring.
When an encounter of this kind takes
place at the south, the same class of pa
pers are wont to head it, Southern Out
rage.
CoRBrN, like Hayes, doesn't care for
himself but for the poor Negro. Cor
bin thinks if he was to take Buffers
seat in the senate, he could greatly aid
the negro in South Carolina who is great
~ in need Of assistance. Such 1isinter-
estedness will certainly be rewarded in
the Gland that is fairer than this"

MAST is exercising his pencil on
Blaines Inconsistency. He represents
the standing candidate for the presi-
dency, with niger smiling on his
bosom bearing in his hand slip of
paper with the words "a vote written
thereon. While Blaine fondles the negro
with one hand he imperiously waves off
a China man who is looking at the gem
tleman from Maine with some wonder
ment.
IT seems that England's trouble with
Afghanistan is not yet over. 1t was be-
heved when Shere Ali abandoned the
country ana his son va Koob Khan as
sumed control of the government, that
the war would be brought to speedy ter
minahon as Yakoob Is friendly to the
English. But recent developments so
to show that he will carry ont his fathers
wishes, which are to be guided solely by
the advice of Russia There is now no
doubt that Shere Ali is dead
OK Sunday morning the city of Reno,
Nevada, was almost totally destroyed by
fire. The wind was blowing a furious
gale and all efforts to stop the fire were
unayaihng. The flames spread so rapid
