Senator Mitchell VS.. COnk!ing.

EDITORS REVIEW We have just seen
a private letter from Senator John [.
Mitchell in which he expresses himself
as in accord with the President, and that
he knew no reason at present why Rob
ertson should not be cofrmed. We
think the people will rejoice that we have
Senator who has the courage to ''set up
for himself" Republicans have no cause
to be alarmed at the resignation Of Conk-
ling and Platt. 1t is simply evident that
Conkling knows he is defeated, and that
he proposes to step down and out Of the
Senate long enough to let Robertson be
confirmed. Both Senator's will undoubt-
edly be their own successors, as soon as
the New York Legislature takes action in
the matter. We are sorry, however, that
Senator Platt was not brave enough to
"set up for himself" also. 1t is certain
ly discredit to great State like New
York. that her two senator's are so mar
row-minded, that they must get in a rage
aud pass in their designations, about SO
trivial a matter as one office in their
State.

GAMBETTA.

In Texas the public lands are at the
disposal of the State Government. A few
weeks ago the Texas Legislat ure passed
bill declaring that all persons who are
now residents Of the State, and who were
residents at the opening of the war and
enlisted in the military service of the
State or Confederate States, and were
permanently disabled while in the service
shall each receive land certificate for
1880 acres of land. The provision ap-
plies to widows whose husbands died or
were killed in service, and who show that
they have not property to the value Of
ST. 900. This shows that Texas is dis
posed to treat the disabled soldiers Of the
Confederacy more generously than the
National Government has treated the vet
Grams OF the Union army. And yet there
are those who complain that the govern
ment has done too much for the soldiers
that fought it's battles. AS Texas is now
a reconstructed State, the Legislature
might have included Texas veterans of
all classes, as well as Confederates, but
it didn't.

A witty politician who sometimes
visits the REVIEW office, says the Gar
field-Conkling affair reminds him very
forcibly Of the annecdote of the parrot
and monkey: GA pious lady purchased
from sailor a parrot which was guaran-
teed not to use profane language. 1t hap
pened the lady was the owner of a pet
monkey, and soon after bringing the bird
home, she had occasion to go out on
shopping expedition for few hours,
leaving the parrot and monkey alone.
When she returned she found the floor
strewn with feathers and the parrot sat
perched over the door, with only single
feather left in his tail, and the monkey
was master of the situation. When the
Mistress cast her eye toward the parrot
he explained the situation by exclaiming,

Come West. Girls.

In a portion of Colorado, known as

sale of residence lots, for buggies are
the vehicles in which homes are first
thought of by many people.
We want girls who can wait on
the table, and who can smile in us

their boarders regular at their meals.
We want girls for sweethearts, so
that when we get arm shot off, or

away for repairs, we may hear a gen.
tie voice and see the glitter Of a

We are credibly informed that ff.

spring flows from a mountain about
four hundred feet high, comes out of

from the top of the mountain on the

about forty gallons per minute, and
it ia the color of apple cider and

Short Crops.

Many people become panicky on
the first suspicion Of short crops.
"The time has BEEN" says an ex.
change, "when the failure of any one
of our great staples as corn, wheat,
potatoes, etc, in any large section Of
the country was capable Of working
wide spread suffering upon whole
communities"
The enormous extent Of this coun-
try, the variety of its productions,
and the wide range of its climate is
such that the failure of corn one year
in one or several States, or of wheat,
or potatoes or fruits, is instantly
made up by their being supplied
from another by means of our incom.
parable system Of railroads and wa
ter communications. Thus we now
enjoy peaches from Tennessee, and
watermelons from Georgia, and sweet
potatoes from Alabama.
If our corn is cut short in Ken.
lucky, Ohio and Indiana, we may
call on Michigan, Wisconsin and
Kansas to supply the lack. If wheat
is winter killed in Michigan or eaten
up with chinch bugs in Kansas or
Central Illinois, we have tracts of
wide extent elsewhre where he
crops are abundant and of the very
best quality. Moreover, the grana-
ries of the country are happily never
expressed, and the high prices that
a short crop affords is pretty sure to
call out hordes that even the sharp
eyed Spectator had never dreamed
Of being in existence. There is rea
son to believe, from statements call.

grain in the country to keep the peo-
pie from starving for the ensuing
