y senator from New York was that he is Q
railroad lawyer, the representative of ia gres,
monopoly. His being monopolist was OBJ
lection enough, but wherein has New York
or the country been benefited by the cleo zion
Of Warner Millsri The New York Express

Mr.. Warner Miller, the newly -elec ted
senstoS. Il rich manufacturer. He owei
most of bis ". al'h to patent for the
making Of wood pulp, which is one Of the
essential ingredients IN the composition Of
pr nting paper. This patent he holds with
Mr.. Russell. another repu licAn congressman
OF Massachusetts. aud they virtually have a
monopoly OF this pr, ftabls business. When
few yesrs ago the newspapers in the cOun-
try united In pstiliOning congress to reduce
the duties on the materials for the manuisc
turs Of paper, wood pulp in partiu,ar, Mil
Ter bulldozed The con mittee and bullied tho
house, threatening 10 precipitste Il gei ersl
discussion of the tariff ii bis profitable
monopoly WAS inleriered with; and BY
striking hands with other endangered pri-
yate interests he succeeded in preventing the
desired reduction. He presents the painful
and repuls,ve spectacle Of II member Of con-
gress using his utmost Influence, and, by
threat and bargain, defeating n measure OF
public benefit Tor his own private gain. For
this action he ought To have been impeached
but the republicans reelected him as their
finest repTosentati g, AT the time tho Post
of tnis city, denounced him for his utter
"disregard Of the line which separates pub
lie duty from private interest" Tue Times
condemned him rs n reformer whose pro
LESSONS of virtue have yielded to the first
temptation" The Tribune and most of the
other republican papers cast'ga'ed hlm
In tho severest terms. But
all this is forgotten. He was
triumphantly returned to congress 10 order
that he might ag ,in protect his private mon
opoly there, and now has been caught up
and elected senator by the republicans Of III.
state that he may stand guard over his prot
liable p ,tent in the senate chamber. A man
of Recognised ability, but tie ability to yet
rich at the puollc expense; q man who has
abused and degradei his Office b. using il fol
his private advantage u man of no mark OF
public standing whatever, a rich nobody
with the persists and greed Of his class-
has been selected by the republican managers
to represent the empire slalo in the senate Of
the nation.
We doubt if Bob Ingersoll can dare to
lookA COW In the face or say baa to sheep
after reading the following bit Of sarcasul
from Judge Black, in his article in the North
American Review:
"Ths killing of those animals was, he said,
"a terrible System, shedding of Innocent
blood, '"ehockiDg to r. Il ed anu sensitive
soul There Is such a depth of tenderness
in this feeling, aud such splendOr of reilue-
ment, that give up without u struggle to the
superiority oi the man who merely protesses
1t. A carnivorou, American, full OF beef
and mutton, who mOurns with Indignant
sorrow because bulls aud goats were killed
in Judea three Thousand years ago, has
reached tho climax Of sen mental goodness,
and should DO permitted to dictate on all
questions of peace aud war. Let Grotlus,

As agriculture is becoming an impor-
tant question in this country, especially in
the prairie and most thiokly populated sec-
lions, what the New Orleans PIcayune has
to say OF tho eucalyp Plus tree in tho follow
ing, will prove OF interest. This tree, |. is
claimed, Combines the qualities Of "a go' d
timber tree for all purposes, of being mir
aculously rapid grower and of being abso-
lutely an anti febrile, as it absorbs all Mas
matte exhalstious. The Picsyune says:
1t would take hundred years 20 RAISE or.
binary tr,e s for timber for tho largest pur-
pOsts. Railroad ties can DO raised for one
fourth or ono filth tho cost. ii eucalyptus is
planted, and the same may be SAID of tele
graph poles. 1t would pay southern rails
road companies to line their traces with
double rows Of them. 1t would pay our
people to raise them for ship timber, and MS
1t would pay THOUSAND times over to raise
them against fever, without my view to the
pscunisry income which could ho depeod d
