the air with her bare arm, and as
her fingers were covered with rings
she seemed to bring down the stars

quietly passed her napkin, and

THE recent scare about American
pork led Secretary Blaine to send
the chief of the bureau of statistics
of the State department out West to
investigate hog raising and pork
packing, and report of his dis
coveries has just been made in
Washin gton. The statements are
mostly of general nature, but it is
declared that hogs are of better
breed and are better fed and fatten-
ed in America than in other coun-
tries; that the work of pork packing
is done better here than elsewhere,
the stories about the prevalence Of
hog cholera here that have been
current in other countries are pro-
nounced gross eXaggerations. The
report is to be published and cir
culated in Europe.

A WASHINGTON dispatch says

A letter vas received here Saturday by a
prominent Republican from General Grant, in
which the ex,Prcsident takes sides strongly
that if Mr.. Robertson, as the leader of the
minority, is to be rewarded for rendering Gar.
fields nomination possible, the wishes of Mr..
Conllling, the leader of the majority, who
rendered General Garfield's election possible,
should also be respected.
Two facts are lost sight of by the
General. namely. that Conkling' s
wishes, except in one solitary in
stance, were respected and that
it is mooted question whether
Garfields election would not have
been possible without Conkling's
assistance. We do not believe tie
Republican party would die right
off if Conkling should cease to exist.
That party's life does not depend
upon any one man, even though he
set himself up as the self-constituted
boss of a whole State. The party.

verse wouldn't miss M. C5nkliug a
month ai,er his demise, and would
forget in less than year that any
such man ever lived at oil.

Both conkling and Plat. Tender Their

Senator'S.


Senators.
The startling announcement came
from Washington Monday that the
two New York Senator's, Conkline
and Platt, had sent their resigna
tions to Governor Cornell, to take
effect Immediately. This course has
been taken probably with the expec'
tation that the Legislature of New
York, which is now in session, will
Immediately proceed to re. elect both
Of those gentlemen to fill out their
own unexpireu terms, and in that
way ConHling and Platt hope to Sc.
cure the Endorsement of their State
or the Republican party in the
Legislature, in their selfish and inso-
lent contest with the President.
Senator Platt, who is Conkling S
"man Friday" is one of the products
of the present Legislature, and both
he and his autocratic master are
probably safe in assuming that it
can be relied upon to send them
back to the Senate with the New
York machine approval of their
conduct, and thus conversely con-
denim the course the President has
pursued in the nomination of Judge
Robertson for Collector OF Customs
at New York city. This is undoubt-
eddy the motive and expectation.
Mr.. Conkling has gone so far in
his hostility to the Administration,
and the unanimous Endorsement of
Judge Robertson by the New York
Legislature Immediately after the
President sent his name to the Sen
ate has made the issue so distinct in
that State that he and Plat have
made up their minds to appeal the
case directly to the Legislature,
which elects United States Senators,
and abide the result. 1t is designed
! to be in the nature of flank move
ment upon the President, and forces
the Legislature, which was elected
by Conkling's machine, to take sides.
If two good, loyal Republicans, like
ex-Secretary Evarts and George
William Curtis, should be chosen in
their places the whole country would
rejoice--and this would probably be
the result If ConllliDg and Plat had
resigned their places subject to the
filling of the vacancies by the cleo
ton of new Legislature directly by
the people, upon the Conkling and
anti Conkling issue, specifically de-
! fined. Lord Roscoe would not dare
to face such an issue ia his own
State at the present time. He knows
that he and his machine would be
utterly overthrown. As it is, the
Legislature which be owns may
safely be expected to send him and
his "man Friday" back to the Sen
ate. He will claim it as popular
Endorsement but every man OF
sense in the United States will know
that the claim will be false and
dcmagogical, and it will neither at,
tract to him any additional support
at Washington, nor bring to him
any additional respect in the country
at large.

CAPITOL NOTES.
MADISON, May 1G, 1881

Everybody anticipates big time.
Next, and in marked contrast is
to be the assembly of temperance
men a week later; to be succeeded
by the Sunday-schoo assembly in
July. Thus provision is made for
the entertainment during the sum,
mer of people of all tastes and no.
tons at the Capital.
Governor Smith is in Washington
on business connected with the claim
of the State for additional lands. An
immense amount of labor and re-
search in the prosecution of this
claim has been accomplished under
the present Administration, and
there is now strong reasons to hope
that the matter will be finally settled
at an early day. The extent of ben
eft to result cannot as yet be safely
estimated, but it is generally believ-
ed that the equivalent of quarter
of a million acres of land will be
realized finally for the State. In the
absence of Governor Smith, Lieut..
Governor Bingham occupies the

Parties from Milwaukee have SUBJ
mitted proposition to construct
water-works here, but from the tone
of public meetings it is apparent
that the improvement will not be
made.
Up to date there is no influx Of
summer visitors, nor indication of
any. There is something lacking to
make Madison the popular resort
which its natural attractions suggest
it should be.
Elk Governor Washburn spent a
few days here last week, en- route
for Germany, where he is going to
try the efficacy Of the hot springs.
He has greatly improved in health
since going TO Arkansas a month or
two ago, aud has every confidence
that he will return from Europe next
fall entirely relieved from the effects
OF the paralytic stroke OF last winter.

ture, as many believe, through the
combined influence of Milwaukeeans
who desired the establishment and
endowment Of u similar institution
in that city, and of aspiring politi-
clans who feared the effect it might
have in giving Mr.. Washburn prom
inence before the people to the dis
advantage of said ambitious politi-
clans.
The enervating tendency Of spring
time seems to have an influence
on politics, Judging from the lull
perceptible here. A while ago there
was more appearance OF considerable
activity in the work of canvassing
for the the next State officers than
at present. Possibly the unusual
crop of candidates developed during
the winter will thin out during the
summer sufficiently torender it some
what difficult for the convention to
fill out a ticket, but such is not gen
orally considered probable, as yet,
there being still at least one candi-
date left tor each position.
