A CALL FOR AID.-The Ladies Benevolent
Association, is obliged to make an urgent ap-
peal to the citizens of our town for aid to
carry on it's work. The past severe winter
has draws 50 heavily upon our funds, that
notwithstanding the liberal support given us
in November, our Treasury is exhausted, the
unusual number of cases of sickness have
demanded our attention; the eXtream cold
weather has made our coal bills necessarily
high; provisions, and clothing though pru-
IDENTIFY dealt out, have rapidly used up our
money, and in order to prosecute our work
we must have help. Our appeals have here
tofore been promptly responded to, and we
believe the present one will not be unheeded.
BY order of the President,
Mrs. DR.. III. G. PORTER.

THE NOMINATION of Gen. ]. Warren
Keifer, of Ohio, for the Speakership of the
Forty-seventh Congress can hardly be said
to have been much of surprise to those
who watched the course of events for the
twcnty-four hours before the caucus was
held. II became evident then that Mr..
keifer's candidacy had ceased to be myth.
The nomination of Mr. Hiscock was antag-
onized by the Stalwart element, both East
and West and II became apparent that Mr..
kasson, by his simple superiority and ac.
knowledged prc.cmincnt fitness, aroused
the opposition of all believers in mediocrity.
They once tried to find out who was the
greatest man in Athens and it was left to q
select council to decide the vcxed question
by ballot. The understanding was that
each voter should write down his second
choice for the greatest man right after his
choice for the first.
When the ballots were gathered IL was
found that the greatest man received
just about as many votes as there were
members present, but that Themstoclcs
obtained all the suff'rages for second best
man. Hence it was scnsibly and wisely
decided that he should be accounted the
first man in Athens whom the greatest
number had agreed in calling the sec
ond.
The illustration meets the case. From
the Acknowledgements of those who cast
their votes against him, it appears that,
next to their individual preferences for
Speaker governed by motives easily un-
derstood, Kasson was recognized and ed.
mitted to be the ablest man for the posi-
tion. In parliamentary tactics, in politi-
cal sagacity, in all the essential elements of
craftsmanship in its broadest sense, he was
regarded tho strongest candidate in the
field and his strength was his weakness
because it combined and solidified the
cohorts of medocrity.
1t is possible, and we hope will soon be
shown, that the speakership of Mr.. Keifer
will mean surprise to the country in
various points of merit His friends claim
that he is safe as n partisan that in some
recondite way, not known to the masses
outside of the sanctuary Of the House cloak
room, he is conspicuous for his political
in trying times; that his .judg.
mcnt in all emergencies can be infallibly
relied on.
They further contend that his courage
and aggressiveness will more than neutral.
ize whatever temporary defects there may
be in his parliamentary tactics, and that in
the course of short experience he will
obtain safe and reliable control of the
House and its rules
We sincerely trust that all these pre-
dictions may be verified by the newly
chosen Speaker He will enter upon his
duties with the goodwill and cordial
of all who venture to expect in
Republican Congress some antidote for the
curse of Samrandallism. What the people
want, and what the District wants, is a
Speaker with intelligence enough to under
stand that Samrandallsm is dead as
mackerel. That great point gained, what
ever may be the merits or defects of the
new Speaker, he will have comparatively
safe place in political history.

THE REASON, says the Erening Post
the Government finds it so hard to deal
with polygamy, is that polygamy
is part of the marriage question
in which the Federal Government
has no real locus standi whatever.
There is, if we may use the expression, no
Federal sexual morality at all. There
ought to have been, doubtless, provision
in the Constitution giving it jurisdiction of
marriage, but there is not. 1t is much
more important, really, that marriage
should be within its control, than bank.

that the United States should live under n
uniform marriage law than under uni.

The status of our marriage laws. and the

wealths of the country, is screaming farce
For instance, when an American citizen
for supposed due and sufficient cause oh.
tains divorce in Illinois and finds out
later that it is not recognized as binding in
New York, his precise attitude as husband
and lover is one of those things no fellow
can lind out. As plain matter of fact
there is no valid reason why the Govern.
ment should not harmonize all this con.
hicting legislation and reduce marriage. as
an institution in this country, to an exact
science, so that people who propose TO trv
1t need never be at a loss to know their
legal relations and obligations. whether
they happen to live in California or Maine
There is nothing whatever in the spirit and
genius Of our institutions to call for any
difference in the marital laws between one
section of the country and another. If Con-
gress can bring the whole people together
under one bankrupt law, it can certainly
limit a citizen to one wife. State, have
already done so in their separate capacity,

THE OPENING of Congress always marks
an event in Washington business and social
life that very much resembles resurrec-
tion. We leare the chrysalis and branch
out into the full-grown butterfly. All the
industries of the Capital city are quick
encd, visitors keep coming in hocks to see
the elephant, society has on its finest feath-
ers, and, as matter Of course. the money
that flows in smooths down the "wrinkled
front" of financial care.
At no time since the war has Congress as
sembled under such favorable auspices. We
have no foreign troubles to annoy us, and
are confronted by nothing but peace and
prosperity in our domestic relations. Har-
vests have been good, bonds and securities
are strong, and tho balance of trade is so
enormously in our favor that the national
debt is being literally railroaded out of
sight.
Furthermore, which is national bless
ing, the lines of demarcation between the
two great parties are so faint and the ma.
jorities in each branch so weak, that politi-
cal legislation, in its generally understood
sense, will not form potent factor in the
proceedings of Congress. The only practi-
cal issue is the best method of maintaining
our present prosperity and strengthening
the foundations of business vigor.
Such being the case, THE CRITIC, In ex-
tending cordial welcome to the Forty
seventh Congress, begs to remind the men,
bers that the District of Columbia will dc.
pend on them for its full share of the
national appropriations. There is no ex-
cuse for narrow policy. Improvements
are needed and the revenues are large.
Economy is no longer either demanded or
excusablc. We are persuaded to believe
that justice and generosity will prevail.
They atone for multitude of sins.

him in 1872, and show it to the President

he may have it handy, We take pleasure in
reproducing it with the more important
parts printed in small capitals.
This is the most extravagant and corrupt
Government that ever existed In this country.
GRANT HIMSELF IL so FULL OF WHISKY THAT
HE Is STUPID AND BLoATED, AND THE MEN WHO
MANAGE HIM ARE OF THE SAME SORT.
But the whole rookery OF linclean birds that
infest the White House will be driven out

place. Yours, j. ID. DEFREEs.
