A citizen Of our community has fine
ittero of setter dogs. He has been taking
special pains to give them q good start
in the world, and to this end It was his
custom to rise from his bed at short in
tervals to feed them. 1t became rather
tedious business for him to "crawl out -
during the cold winter nights to attend
to their wants, 80 he tried new plan.
Setting pan of milk in q warm corner
behind the stove he went to bed, and in
the small hours the young CANNES called
for food. Thinking to make one Job of
it he arose in the dark and carried the
pan carefully to the wood-house, when
seizing each pup by the nape Of the
neck he thrust its nose into the pan,
and when all had got to their work y
returned to his bed. The next morning
he was aroused by his wife, who wanted
to know what in the world he had done
with her bread pan. Investigation fol-
lowed; his wife wet up batch of bread
and set it behind the stove to rise; this
pan our "shotr had carried to the
pups and they. after gorging themselves
with the dough, waddled back to their
warm nest. The yeast was good and
the puppies rose, looking like so many
mufs with the head of the animal used
for trimming, while their legs and tails
resembled an Early Rose potato. ~

The Relation Of the tStar Route ,,
Thieves to the Republican Party.

The country has an opportunity now
to see how and by whom and with
whose money Garfield was elected Pres
ident. Some of us urged, pending the
late Presidential election, that it would
be in the interest of the taxpayers of
the country il the Government books
could be exposed to the view of the
people of the United States. We were
hooted at by the saints of the Repub-
lican party. Democrats were de-
nouuced as enemies of the country
for making such q suggestion, and the
suggestion was scoffed at as a rebel lie
las q figment of the bourbon De-
mocracy." Mr.. Dorsey. and Mr.. Bra
dy, and Mr.. Tyner and the others were
energetic in their assaults upon the
unpatriotic character of the Democratic
request to look at the books. OF
course. 1t would disturb business"
''obstruct prosperity to make
change, while the Administration for
four years had been so honest. 1t was
alleged that the Administration of Pres
ident Hayes had been clean, and this
believed assertion coaxed many votes
for his successor. The Administration
of his successor IS scarcely two months
old, but. by an accident, a great stencil
fills the land, putting to shame and con-
fusion of face the proclaimers of the
cleanliness of the Republican Admins
trati0n.
The "Star Route" steal surpasses, in
audacity, in magnitude and in cIoseness
to the Executive Department of the
Government, all other scandals and
thefts in our National history. The

involve either of the three great De-
payments of the Government. The

Was Contract Made With Mahones

Contracts are made in various ways,
and one method is just as binding as
another.
There are many modes of proving
contracts. They can be proved by
direct and explicit, or by indirect and
circumstantial evidence; or the exist
ence. OF the contract may be inferred
from circumstances.
By virtue of well-established doc
trines like these, millions of property
change hands under judgments OBJ
tanned in the courts every month in the
year. The same general rules of evil
dence prevail on the trial of indict-
ments for crime. In accordance with
these old-fashioned rules, men are sent
to penitentiaries and to the galIows in
all the States.
Malone entered the Senate as an in
dependent Democrat. II, at the out
set, he had declared that to punish
his opponents of the dominant element
of the Virginia Democracy he should
vote with the Republicans, but would
take nothing from them in return,
the country would have UNDER
stood him, and certain class of politi-
clans might have felt some respect for
him. But when he is seen in the room
adjoining that in which the Republican
caucus of Senator's is sitting, and when
the outcome is the nomination of his
man Riddleberger, Confederate repu-
diator, for Sergeant-at- Arms; and
when thereafter Malone votes all the
time with the Republicans on every
question that arises, the proof of a con-
tract between him and the Republican
leaders in the Senate is irresistible. ).
The heated debates in the Senate
seem to indicate that Malone stands
ready to challenge and shoot, if he can,
any Senator who charges that contract
was made in pursuance of which he has
cast in his lot with the Republicans. II
ne could only contrive to blow out of
existence the circumstances which tend
to show that such contract was en-
tered into, it would do more to satisfy
honest men than the killing of any num-
Der OF Senators on the so-called field of
honor.-N. Y. sam. He1
MR.. Jorgenson. Republican Con-
gresham from Virginia, who does not
believe in an alliance with the Read
justers, laughs at the idea OF Mahone's
representing the cause of free elections.
1t is Mr.. Mahone's men who have done
most OF the bull-dozing and ballot-box
stuf1ing, he says. They have been
chiefly responsible for interference with,
the suffrage in Virginia. In his own
district, where he received large
number OF votes from respectable Dem
ocrats, the Readjusters' bull doing and
balIot-box stufEing were especially out
rageous. Detroit Free Press.
