Were you an admireT of Lord Beacons-
ield?' asked reporter Of Colonel Robert G. Inger
soil. I" In some respects. He was on our side dur
ing the war, and gave it as his opinion that the
Union would be preserved. Mr.. Gladstone con-
graduated Jefferson Davis ON having founded
new nation. shall never forget BeacOnsfield for
his kindness nor Gladstone for his malice. Bea-
consfeld was an intellectual gymnast, political
athlete, one of the most adroit men in the world
He had the persistence of his race In spite of the
prejudices of eighteen hundred years. he rose to
the highest position that can be occupied by cti
zen. During his administration England again
became continental power and played her game
of European chess. l have never regarded Bea-
consfield as q man controlled by principle or by
his heart. He was strictly politician. He always
acted as though he thought the clubs were looking
at him. He knew ell the arts belonging to his
trade. He would have succeeded anywhere, if by
succeeding is meant the attainment of position
and power But, after all, such men are splendid
failures. They give themselves and others great
deal of trOuble-they wear the tnsel crown of tenn
porary success and then fade from public view
They asonsh the pit, but when the curtain falls
there is nothing left to benefit mankind. Beacons-
field held convictions somewhat in contempt. He
had the imagination of the East united with the
ambition of an Englishman. .'-Bost0n Globe.

HaIcRreeds Defined ,

10 the Editor OF THE KEPCBLICAN:
Please inform daily reader of your
spicy, bright, and newsy paper of the meaning of
the political application of the term "halfbreeds"
which has become so general in its use in describ-
ing faction of the Republican party, and oblige a
TRUE BLUE REPUBLICAN.
[The term "half-b breed is Westernism, having
its original derivation in the issue of degraded
Pocahontas, demoralized for spoils by sutler or
camp-follower. In political natural history it is
cross between a reformer and custom house Off
eer Our anxious inquirer must make his own ap-
pleation Of the political significance of the term.

A Lie.

The Washington correspondent of the

friend of Mr.. Conkling, but who prefers not to
have his name mentioned" that Senator ConkIing
told him if he and Mr.. Platt were returned by the
New York Legislature they would not go into the
Republican caucus, but would act independently

whole cloth, intended to iniure Senator Conkling
