The Shipherd investigation at
Washington, in which an attempt was
made to smirch ex-Secretary of State
Blaine, gave that gentleman an excel
lent opportunity. which he has Judi
ciously improved. to defend himself
against the direct charges and covert
insinuations of those of his enemies
who fear that he may develop strength
sufficient in 1884 to secure the Presi-
Dental nomination. Those who have
put Mr.. Blaine down as political
corpse will in due time find him very
lively one.

WAYNE MAoVEAGH. who was Presi-
dent Garfield's Attorney General, in a
recent speech said that the Republic
can party now had but three princi-
pies, to every one of which he was
earnestly and vigorously opposed.
These were, the spells system, opposi-
ton to civil service reform, and the
Reputation of the State debt of Vir-
ginia. In referring to President Ar
thur, MacYeagh continues: she al
ways was for the boss system. The
boss system is a graded system, going
UP from the drinking saloon through
the different official ranks to President
and Cabinet officers. Those men to.
day rest on the spells spstem. They
need the degradation and demoraliza-
ton of the civil service. Their en-.
tire political structure depends upon
it. You might as well expect saloons
to be converted by temperance tracts
as to expect these men TO give in TO
civil service reform. The only way
is to oYerwhelm them with votes.
You must supplant them with other
and better men, The cities of New
York, Brooklyn. and Philadelphia.
which for years have been under the
absolute control of as unscrupulous a
set of political bosses and thieves as
ever existed, have thrown their mas
tiers overheard and it is simply ques-
ton of time when the people, for self
preservation, will be compelled to re-
tire to the rear the bosses and the
great political and transportation CON-
binations which they serve.

HowGATE, who stole over one hun
bred thousand dollars from the Gov
eminent. was such a big thief that he
was treated with distinguished con-
sideration, allowed to visit his family
and given other privileges which
would not be accorded by the prison
authorities to a petty thief. Well, as
might be expected, he has abused the
confidence of his jailor and skipped.
Can any officer of the law give tena-
BILE reason why a criminal who steals
hundred thousand dollars should be
treated any differently as a prisoner
than one who steals but one hundred
dollars9 If SO, there are a great many
people who would like to know what
it is.

On Friday, 9th. after the examination Of q

Whether the senate will hold drunkenness to
be an impeachable offense is not so clear: 1t is
true that, by singular commission, there is no

The Greatest Of All, Pursnits-

According to the last report of the Com
missioner OF Agriculture, there are seven
million persons in the United States en-
gagged in agricultural pursuits. The total
value of farms and farm implements is
$13, 361 200, 433, or two-t thirds of the pro-
ductive wealth of the Nation. The value
of live stock and farm products for 1878
was So, 1000, 600 0C0, against 50, 500, coo, 900
of mining and manufacturing products.
From this it appears that the majority of the
adult male population is engaged in agricul-
ture, and more than one-half of the wealth
Of the nation is invested in that industry.
