If some gentlemen who have been named for po-
siiions in the Cabinet of q neral Garfield hope to
reach the goal OF their ambition they should see
that a hbcrl supply of choke-pears IS distributed

January thaws come regularly. So do Democratic
blunQers.
Ii looks little ridiculous to the lower House
Of Congress, which Is jealous of its right to
