earthquake that tumbled over all their
political hopes. There was great crowd,

out the two hours speech, standing all

it was one of the best speeches ever given

The accident in the Hudson river tun-

tV.one e Seven men escaped and la.
bored nobly to save their companions.
They were at work under the river, and
failing to stop a leak, the rush of water
caused the calamity. The New York
Times says: "The stories of the surviv.
ors throw no light upon the real ques'
ton, even when the narrators have been
disposed to be communicative, some Of
the men have declined to talk at all on
the subject. The engineers say that ev.
cry great engineering work has its dan.
gers, and that they have done every
thing in their power to avert just such
an accident as this. If it be shown that
there was no negligence on the part of
the workmen, they claim the disaster
belongs to the category of engineering
accidents which human ingenuity could
not circumvent."

ment and fixing things. Most of them
were poor when they got Office, and they
generally lived ex~travagantly and got
rich besides. In running the govern.
ment they run wealth into their own

relatives. The people generally have
little idea Of the extent of the corruption
and plumber. The People convinced of
this, drove these men from Congress six
years ago, and four years ago elected Til
den and Hendricks, the Democratic
nominees. By perjury, bribery and
fraud they counted in the men that
were defeated, and thus retained the Ex-
ecutive department of the government
four years longer against the verdict of
the People. The People have another
chance this year. The same corrupt Re-

The following extract from the famous
Poland report deserves wide circulation
nowadays:
No member Of Congress ought to place
himself in circumstances of suspicion 80
that any discredit of the body shall arise
on his account. In q free government
like ours we cannot expect the people
will long respect the laws if they lose
respect for the lawmakers. For these
reasons we think it behooves every man
in Congress or in public position to hold
himself aloof as far as possible from all
influences, that he may not only be en-.
abled to look at every public question
with an eye to the public good, but that
his conduct and motives be not suspected
or questioned. We commend to them
and to all men the letter of the venera.
BILE Senator Bayard in response to an of.
fer of some of this stock.
One of the sinners against whom this
sermon was directed is now Republican
candidate for Presi cent, and Republican
organs are trying to convince the people
that they ought to elect him. A man
who brought "discredit' upon Congress
ought not 10 be allowed an opportunity
to bring it upon the country. Garfeld's
record in 1873 confronts and brushes
him in 1880.

The curative effects of fasting has long
