Mr.. Weaver had his innings yesterday IN
the House. He told the Democratic Repre-
sentatives some plan truths about the way IN
which their committees smOtheIed financial leg
islation, and reminded them that ninety out
of a hundred Democrats in the West were IN
favor of his resolution, which he thereupon
caused to be read. He added the comforting
assurance that he would be found claiming
recognition from the Speaker every Monday
morning until he succeeded. If Mr.. Weaver
will persist in this purpose until the National
Conventions are held, he will furnish the
country with useful illustration of Demo-
cratic cowardice and reminder of the fact
which he states-that large proportion OF
the party share his initiation views.

this. Mayors and Collectors would see

1s Jr WISE TO TAKE THE DEFENSITEf

rs JT WISE TO TAKE THE DBFENSIVEf
We lately alluded to the folly of unneressa-
rily putting the Republican party on the de-
fensive and enabling the Democrats to take
the offensive on the third term issue, by
again nominating General Grant.
It is also to be noted that by nominating
him we give renewed color to the charge that
the Republican party intend to maintain
military deSpOtism at the South anu
TO carry elections by military in,erfer-
ence. Until the close OF the extra
session this was the principal Democratic
war cry. Any such intention was empha1-
icay repudiated by Republican debaters'
and it was clearly shown to the country
that the troops had never been used
TO control elections; that the Outcry was
mere pretence, and that the Republicans
ONLY seek to enforce the rights OF cltl-
zens and a free and honest ballot bY
ordinary legal methods; and this issue OF
"military despotism" was completely taken
away from our opponents.
If, however, the Republicans now nominate
General Grant for a third term, accompanied
as the demand for him is by foolish talk ABOUT
strong man and IA strong Government, ana
about nominating a candidate who will not
allow himself to be counted out, Is there not
at once revived the charge that military power
is to be used to carry elections For what
purpose. it will be asked, do the RepuO-
licans, in time of profound peace
with no threats of resistance at the South,
and 10 crisis impending anywhere, re-
turn to General Grant, and make him again
their candidate unless it is intended to resort TO
old methods of carrying Southern elections by
the bayonet, and invading poiiing-places ana
legislative halls and State capitols by United
States sodieIy 1t will not matter that such
charges as to the past may have been false
they have been persistcntly made by the
Democrats have impressed the public mind,
and will be revived more boisterously than ever
ii General Grant is nominated at Chicago.
On one more issue we shall be on the de-
fensIve from the start of the campaign. Is
il not better to avoid this disadvantage and
make such a nomination that on all issues the
Republicans can take and maintain the ag-
gressive from the beginning to the end OF the
canvass

of his securing such commitments IN ollei
States. The glamour of superior and lrresisI
bic popularity in gone. The claim that one
man is by the people deemed necessary to the
safety of the Republic is refuted. The naked
fact is made to appear that part of the Re-
nphlican vote cannot safely be counted for
tbird-term candidate. The Republicans OF
other States, where party machinery is not OF
irresistible strength, do not want to run any
risks. They want TO nominate the strongest
candidate the party can select, in order to
save the country from Democratic rule Con-
vince them that General Grant is not the
strongest, and they will nominate somebody
else. And the tendency of the conventions
thus far held has been, most decidedly TO
convince the people of other States that Cen
eraI Grant is not the strongest candidate.

Second Judicial District, created by the
Constitutional Amendment adopted last FALL
is "vacant" in the meaning of the Constitu-
ton. and can therefore be filed by appoint
ment by the Governor. This imposes upon
Governor Cornell a duty which becomes the
more important when it is remembered that
a selection of this kind is usually regarded as
giving the appointee prior claim upon the
party nomination when the Office comes to be
filed by election.

Can't Always be Done.

E. Jeptha Jones, sombre-lookine
young man of twenty, with voice like
a tin rattle-box and about as much mus
Gle as yearling lamb, limped out to
answer to the charge of disturbing the
peace. He had some trouble with the
landlady where he boarded and was or
dered to vacate and bestow his presence
where it would be more appreciated.
He Obeyed, but the other evening he
worried down two spoonfuls OF beer to
get his courage up and then walked
over to his late abiding place with a
two-edged dagger under his vest and a
horse-pistol resting on his hip. He went
there to avenge his wounded honor, but
the moment he entered the house the
red-headed cook got him in her grip
and thrashed him up and down the hall
until she loosened his boot-heeIs and
left him as limp as a rag. He was then
flung off the doorstep and taken charge
of by a policeman. a0sisi 1880 ~

4 Novel Cure for Cuts.

Ants fight with the utmost fury. So
deadly is their grip that frequently the
whole abdomen of the enemy is torn
away; and yet, though little more than
an infuriated head and legs she still
keeps up the fight. Sir John Lubbock
states that he has frequently found an
enemy's head hanging on to the legs Of
a living ant, who, through the tenacity
of the grip, is obliged to carry about
with her on the most festive occasions
this CHASTITY and inconvenient memento
of her victory. NJ. Mocqueys even as
sures us that the Indians of Brazil make
use OF this tenaeity in the case of
wounds. causing the ant to bite the lips
OF the cut and thus bring them together,
after which they cut off the ants head,
which thus holds the lips of the wound
together. He asserts that he has often
seen natives with wounds in course of
healing with the assistance of seven OF
eight ants heads.-Contenlporary Re.

"There's Room At the Top."

The young man ambitious to succeed
in any line of business should ALWAYS
bear this in mind. There are those in
plenty OF mediocre ability, superficial
requirements, and inadequate prepare
ton, but the thoroughly trained and
competent are scarce. The standard of
modern professional requirements has
been greatly elevated by the advances
which the world has made within few
years past, and still higher demands
are constantly being made. The de-
mand for men who have a complete
knowledge of every department of their
business has always been felt. The ex-
tent OF that knowledge widens every
year. as improved methods and facilities
are introduced. The ship captain, for
instance, who few years ago needed
only to be acquainted with centuries old
theories of navigation, with what more
recent geographical explorations had
added thereto, now finds himself, in
this age Of steam, working under totally
different conditions. What he formerly
knew is equally necessary now, but the
successful management of q ship pro-
PEELED by steam calls for an entirely
new set of ideas and experiences, and
The captain who would at present be
thorough master in his profession should
not only know how to run a steam en-
gine, but be a practical hydraulic en-
gineer. with good knowledge also of
pneumatics and electricity, in order to
avail himself of all the advantages which
recent discoveries and inventions have
placed at the disposal of navigators,
whereby more efficient work may be
done and higher degree of safety at
tanned. There are captains in plenty
who are sailing masters only, but in
proportion as they are also competent
