If ''Junius had written his letters to
an cnterprising and investigating Jay

will go in lumber wagons--about 40, 600

AMPLE proof Of the meiiocri!y .,f the
men who mako the Republican majority
in the next Congress is afforded by the
trouble that prevails over the selection OF
a speaker, and the fact that out OF Il dozen
who are talked of public opinion points to
mono eminent for fitness. The Democratic
minority is distinguished for mauy more
men Of strength and experience and will
greatly worry the majority.
The last announcement of the presi-
dents alleged purposes is notion that

lance, if not political freebooter, assistant
secretary of the treasury. 1t will be re-
membered that Gorham was the late pres

If Arthur promotes him, and the star
reuters get of, Be!knap may yet be hope
full of substantial recognition and Robson

DEMOCRATIC thieves Tweed dying in
Jail, Sweeney in exile, Connolly forced to
fly, Genet in prison, Garvey made to wear
stripes, and Ingersoll, Keyser, the rest
prosecuted to conviction, and all of them
were forced to dissorge. Republican
thieves Be!knap strutting around Wash
inston, Shepherd willing and ready to get
back to the capital, Brady triumphant,
Dorsey revelling in wealth, COlfax lectur-

about 800, 1000 inhabitants, engaged in
manufacturing, mainly heavy wooien
goods and machinery. 1t is four and half

The Suns comment is rsand this lesson in
geography is proven to regent of the uni
