TIE presiding officer Of the senate
weighs something over three hundred
pounds. His holding of the balance Of
political power, as well as his averdupois,
will enable him to "sit down upon" some
of the abuses of the senate with terrible
effect. The Republicans have great re-
spect for him just now, and have delugeo
him with fulsome compliments. Wher
he used to act with the Democrats they
called him "oleaginous, and "beefy,
and intimated that he had more bowels

THE Pioneer Press has discovered q
conspiracy" on the part of the Demo
Gratis to unite with the Republicans and
defeat Mr.. WINDOWS senatorial aspira-
tions. Did the Window organ imagine
that the Democrats would sustain Mr.
Window or any other Republican for the
senate? If not, apd! given number OF
Republicans oppose him also, they are to
that extent acting together. In short
the Democrats pursue a square, straight
forward and honorable course, and once
in while few scattering Republicans
attempt something of the same sort.
That is all the conspiracy there is against
Window.

IT is disagreeable if not surprising to
find stuff of this kind in paper of the
prominence of the Chicago Tribune:
If the courts permit Guiteau to escape it
will be merely an escape from their jurisdic-
ton to the wrath of the people.
Why doesn't the Tribune advise the
people around Washington to seize the
assassin and hang him, thus saving the
expense, delay and farce of trial! His
guilt is clear and no technical or insane
dodge. should allow him to escape the gal
lows. In short, he must hang, but let it
be done decently and legally.

only 100000 sacks. This would satisfy most
farmers, either in that Or other states; but
when the further facts are mentioned that he
will have to keep $4,000 sacks merely for seed
for next year, and that his last crop before this
was 100000 sacks, it is evident that the year
is likely to prove losing one to the doctor.

A Berlin payer co mplains because an emf
nent German surgeon who has been travelling
in this country for some time was not con-
suited in President Garfeld's case. This
affords room for the remark that people on
this side of the Atlantic have about settled
down to the conviction that the distinguished
patient had the best treatment possible by
competent physicians; that his wound was
necessarily fatal, and that only the patience
and skill of his faithful attendants kept him
alive nearly three months after he was shot.
Had any experimental business been practiced
on the patient the fury of the people might
have resulted ill to the medical men in charge.
The editor of the London Truth says:
Speaking of the Abbey and the public, a
good story well known to the dean and
chapter, occurs to me. A gentleman passing
through the Abbey observed an apparently
devout person on his knees. 1t is true no
service was going on, but the occupation was,
at least, quiet and harmless one. A verger
soon took note of the irregularity, and, march
ing up, touched the kneeler on the shoulder,
informing him that praying was against the
rule. why, sir exclaimed the vergG with
genuine disgust to bystander, If I let 'em We
should soon have 'em praying all over the
place!'"
