THE NATURALIZATION of a rcpub-
lean United States senator to sue
coed Mcdonald of Indiana makes 1t
probable that after the fourth OF
March next the Senate will consIs. OF
SO republicans and 80 democrats,
with Zen. Arthur, the republican
Vice President, to hold the casting
vote on all political questions. The
New York Legislature is republican
and will elect republican successor
tc Senator Herman. Senator'S Wal
lace of Pennsylvania and Thurman
OF Ohio will certainly have to. step
down and out, Senator Eaton Of Con-
necticut will undoubtedly be replaced
by republican, and there are the
strongest indications that Senator
Randolph of New Jersey will give
up his scat to a republican. The re-
publicans holding over, or whose sue
cessors will be republicans, number
92 and the six to be gained as indi,
Gated above make 38, tie i'll the
Senate. Among the others whose
terms expire in March, is Senator
Jones of Florida, and it is not impos
sible that he may be replaced by
republican, giving a republican ma
| iority of one. AS the republican,
are now reasonably certain of a ma
| iority in the House also, there il
every prospect of republican Con
gress as well as a republican execu
tive after the 4th of March next.

defeated for reelection, is boiling
over with rage, and the mere men,
ton OF English's name fairly throws
him into paroxysms of anger. He
refers to English tenderly as "a hog -

choice profanity, and blanks English

Rice, secretary of the democratic
state committee, says that "a boy

than English did. There has been

money, no nothing. Frequently doc
uments have waited in the commit
tee rooms for days because there was
no money on hand to buy postage

bend his position, because the only

SOME POINTS FOR PATRIOTS.
Judge Tourgee Disposes CT the ones
tiOn, "WhO Put D0wA the
RebeliiOn 80

Judge Tourgee, author of "The Fools
Errand," made "a most effective speech
at Chicago, the other evening. Refer
ing to the claim that the Democrats
fought the war and put down the re-
bellion, he recalled the fast that the
few lighting Democrats on our side"
in those days were considered strange
enough exceptions to be given a sepa-
rate name-"War Demo Gratis" They
were so far estranged from the genuine
Democracy that they were compelled
to invent a new name to distinguish
them, just as you speak Of lighting
Quakers, and u Freewill Baptist, and
white crow, because the distinctive
feature of the Democrat was notfound
in them. From that moment they
fought the Republican fight, kept the
Republican faith, and voted the Re
publican ticket. .'| -
The fact that Democrats caught the
rhythm OF that grand march with
which General Grant went on to vic
tory no more certies the patriotism OF
merit of those who stood behind him

THE SITUATION.

The situation of the Democratic
party at this time is most painfully
embarrassing Having made the is
sue in Indiana so significant, being
so certain that they would carry it,
and having placed an Indiana man
on the National ticket for the very
purpose of carrying that State, they
threw down the glove and declared
that "as Indiana goes, so goes the
Union" Fortunately the Repubi-
cans accepted the situstioA. 1t was
SO evident that the declaration was
true that they did so from necessity,
and after a most vigorous fight and
thorough presentation of the views
of both sides, the people. of Indiana
pronounced their judgment, which,
from the fact that both parties joined
issue there ought to be conclusive.
But as usual, not yielding to the re-
suit of . fair argument the solid
South and their friends are eudeav-
oring to rally their scattered forces
and recover from their dismay. But
this is under extreme difficulties.
Even, while they are IN ertrenais, the
avarice Of the man who owns the
bar'l is 50 intense that they can't get
enough out Of it to pay their postage !;
and their superb candidate is so vol
uble that they can't prevent his con-
graduating even the elfete Green
hackers Oh their success, giving the
country an idea that he would con-
graduate even the devil himself if it
would but hinder this provoking

itary man was also a statesman, he
will open his mouth and show the
neighbors TIN in this respect he is

led who have candidate declaring
that the tariff is a "loc1I" matter,

Not Suited for the Stage.

Not long ago a San Francisco re-
porter called on Mcguire, of the
Baldwin Theater, aud said be would
like TO sell him play.
"WelI, my boy, Pm bothered to
pieces with new plays" said Ma
guire.
"But lot me tell you the plot"
persisted the journalist.
Mcguire hated like the douce TO
hear the internal tiresome plot. but
as the reporter had considerable in
fiuence with the press, be deter
mined to be civil 30 him, aud told
him to sail ahead.
"WelI, in the first act there is a
man who goes crazy"
"Ah," said Mcguire, ca daft man
is dead weight to a play; the in
sanity should be wholly confined to
the author. How did he get cranky"
he thought some one had killed
his father and accused his uncle of
it,"
cob, see, then the detective gets
to work OF the clue. Of course you
have detective"
'Oh, h. does tho detective busi-
ness himself
That's bad how 10 blazes could
crazy man work up clue. You
must change .hat and lug in de.
teciive Of the Hawksten pattern.

Now here, Cap, we can't stand
that business at Baldwin Every
time We try an immoral snap we
catch it from ell sides. You must
cut the part Of the uncle It's good
sensational, but won't do"
"Then the crazy man takes the
family to y theater and gets the ac>
tors to riDg 10 y scene that will re-
mind the uncle of the murder"
"All bosh my boy. If o man
should come to tbeater and ask
such an absurd favor be would be
kicked out of the side door by the
soeae shifter. There's nothing in it.
B lsi'ies, how did he know his dad
was SLED if be didn't see 1t?
"Oa, fix that; his fathers ghost
tells him"
Here Mcguire broke into fit of
laughter.
That's dead rot; these blasted
ghosts are too old fashioned for the
stage. That won't work. Cut The
ghost my bog, cut the ghost"
"Then be fsll- in love with a
young girl who goes and browns
herself, being crazy too"
"Two cranky people in one piece
won't work. You must shelve the
girl"
"Then they bury the girl and a.
the funeral the crazy man has a row
with the girls brother and ticks the
officiating clergym n"
"Hold on. Don't put such rot as
that in. 1t will be hissed off the
stage. & row ct funeral don't
take, anyhow"
"rhon tho brother and the crazy
fellow have duel BIO kills his man;
the old lady takes poison, then be
kills his uncle, and"
"Say, young man, pause, I've
heard quite enough. This is the
most internal and confounded rot
ever heard of. They wouldn't play
it in a melodeon. What the devil
do You call all this blasted trash ?"
"aamlet," said the reporter with,
out change of countenanoe, and
tten he vanished through the door.

OF them being for India and China
At The end OF 81 days we landed at
Port Otago, and yon may be sure
were glad to get ashore. We had
sighted land but once Oh the whole
voyage, that being small Island off
the coast of Africa.
Our first impressions OF New Zea-
land were delightful-all tho native
vegetation evergreen, birds of the
gayest colors, weather fine, harvest
Just ripe. We staid a few days at
Dunedin, the capital of the Province,
city of rs, 900 or so, 900 inhabitants.
The appearance of this place, like all
New Zealand towns, is peculiar.
II is partly American, partly Eng.
lish, with great deal that is origin.
al in its appearance, and what is said
Of the towns may be said both OF
the people and their customs. Wag
es are good and things are dear.
The soil is splendid one. Fifty
bushels of wheat TO the acre being o
very common crop. The great dis.
lance from the European market
however keeps down the price. A
great part of the country ia very
mountainous and is fitted only for
sheep, of which there are some mil
lions. We are now in the very Gen.
ter OF the country, among the sheep
runs. The winter, which is Just
over, has been very mild. Only a
few mild frosts, with no snow except
on the mountains.
As my letter is getting very long
| may say that during the seven
months we have been here we have
run around good deal, but have al.
ways found work, aad have had no
cause whatever to regret our trip.
We shall probably spend the summer
in this neighborhood, and in the fall
may cross over to Melbourne, Aus
tralia, to see the great worlds exhi
bition, which opens there shortly.
The natives, industries, minerals, etc,
of New Zealand / must reserve for
q future letter. Sincerely Yours,
