IT is very seldom that great poet,
like the Hon. Stephen W. Downey, dele
gate in Congress from the Territory of
Wyoming, possesses such head for busi-
ness Even in the matter OF getting bis
poem, "The Immortals," published in the
Congressional Record at the expense of
the Government, and in thus satyrizing
and turning into ridicule the custom of
having speeches printed that are never
delivered, Downey showed himself a man
of originality and nerve. No Territory
has ever before sent so unique represen-
tative to Congress. In their semi-devel-
oped condition of statesmen, this class of
men have generally been content to keep
their seats warm, draw their paw and
mileage, which latter is generally anitem
OF some size, and work through all the
appropriations they can for the benefit
of the outlying provinces they hail from.
The spirit for. public improvements
which manifests itself in poet Downey
is irrepressible. The appropriation of
half a million dollars to illustrate the
Apostolic creed upon the walls of the
capital was but trife to his later move
A few days since he offered resolution
to appropriate the undivided portion of
the Geneva award, some nine or ten mil
lion dollars, to the erection of public
buildings throughout the country. This
resolution is said to have amused Con-
gress very much, and as that body has.
for some time past, been trying to devise
means and frame excuses for stealing
this fund away from the parties to whom
it was awarded at Geneva some eight
years ago, it is no wonder Congress
laughed.
We would suggest that this fraud, if
It is doomed to be perverted from its
original purpose, be set apart to estab-
lish Sunday-schools and schools Of
Moral Reform, in which rev and i'm.
proved class of statesmen may be fitted
for future usefulness, as being about the
only way in which "the end would JUS
tify the means."

The Commercial says: The unit rule
may be considered abolished. 1t will not
stand for a moment. The Third-termers
lack at any rate sixty votes of a majority,
and will want hundred by the time all
the preliminaries are settled against them.
If they have any reserves, we do not know
where they can be fcund.-The question
before the country has been whether
Grant should have third term. It seems,
so far as the Republican National Conven-
ton is concerned, TO be decided in the
negative. Certainly 1t is so decided in the
Republican districts and States. The
Democratic party is solid for Grant
as the Republican nominee. and
has helped the Bosses in the
primaries. The supporters of Grant
have been calculating upon his prestige
and the magic Of his name. As regards Ills
Presidential candidacy that Is play ed out.
The most infatuated Of the bossy Senators

a story of Gdr7ield's Campaign in Maine
columbus Cor. to Cincinnati Enquirer.
AS General Garfield is now the cynosure Of
! the nation, the following anecdote of the
hero Of the tow-path and head center of the
triumvirate of Jim, Calico Charlie and Long
John is worth repeating. In fact, it would
not be bad even if the subject Of it had not
been nominated for President of the United
States During the noted Maize campaign
of 1873, when little Gene Hale ano,his party
in that State were whipped out Of
their boots, General Garfield was
called on for help. Nichols, the
long haired apostle of the Hand Money
League, also had contract to work his jaws
and lungs in the Pine Tree State. Garfield
! and Nichols, at the opening of the campaign,
became guests of Hannibal Hamlin, and
were booked for speeches on the same even
ing together. Early. in the day Garfield
wanted to retire to mis- room to wash up,
change his linen and rest himself, but the
venerable old pump of Hannibal would
have none Of it, and insisted on trotting him
about town, and afterward exhibiting to the
curious Yankees who called to inspect the
new arrival and make his acquaintance.
Late in the afternoon Garfield broke away
and gained the large double room on the
second floor assigned to himself and Mich
OILS. An hour afterWard the handsome Mich
OILS also concluded to go up stairs. He want
ed to give his jaws A preliminary unlimber-
ing before he inflicted his financial eloquence
on the long-sutfering people of Maine. AS
he enteeed thu joint quarters of himself and
Garfield, the rich carpets deadened his
footsteps, and his companion had no
knowledge of his coming. In recess of the
room on stool sat General Garfield. The
Triumvir had just taken bath, and his
manly form was as naked as that of
plucked crow, save as to q very abbreviated
and close-ftting undershirt His face was
clothed with majestic look, but the drapery
consisted of the gauze undergarment ex-
clusively. In his left hand General Garfield
held some manuscript, his right hand was
raised in commanding attitude, and his
eyes seemed engaged in riveting the etten-
ticn of about ten thousand yeomen. He
began by telling his imaginary audience in
swelling cadence, This, my feliow-c citizens,
is the third great crisis of the war. Then he s
brought down his hand with responding
slap on bulbous part Of his anatomy, ana
crushed huge Bangor mosquito that had
settled itself there for lunch. The odd
ending of the gesture made Nichols laugh,
and the oratorical practice was at an end. This
is no campaign lie, as can be proven by q {
photograph Of the mosquito taken on the
spot.

hostile Sioux, of Sitting Bulls band, had come
into Fort Keogh and surrendered. Also that

other lodges Of the band had crossed the Mis-

rendering. Owing to the fact that the tele.
graph between Bismarck and Keogh has
been badly Frustrated by recent storms. Gen.
Terry was unable to obtain particulars of the
surrender, but no doubt is felt by him Of the

tual surrender of the eighty lodges, but also

mentioned by the scouts as following in the
