For Congress A. c. MAXWELL.

From the Caro- Joifersonian
This week we hoist the name OF
Hon. A. c. Maxwell, as the man we
shall work for, vote for and in all hui
man probability elect to Congress as
the first representative from the 10th
congressional district of Michigan.
In advocating the election of Andrew
G. Maxwell, we have a man to whom
we can point with just pride, as one
who has no superior in qualifications
for the position in the district. Mr..
Maxwell is in every sense of the word
a large man, q man of large and or
iginal ideas, of broad views, just the
kind Of man to represent this dis
trict of large and diversified interests.
Mr.. Maxwell, by profession, is a law
yer and as such has reputation of
being second to none in the State.
Mr.. Maxwell has for several years
been prominently public man, and
many acts of State legislature favor
able to this part Of the State, original
ed with him. Again, in contra dis
tinction to his opponent, he is a CO.
mingler among men, and has heart
full Of interest in them ut all times
and under all circumstances, he does
not live to himself and limited num-
Der of aristocratic acquaintance alone
but appreciates and respects every in
dividual, no matter how humble his
calling in life may be. We are salts
fed that as the campaign wears on
and the people become better ac-
quainted with Mr.. Maxwell and his
opponent, the scale of votes will turn
in his favor. After personal ac-
quaintance of many years with our
nominee We can assure the reader, that
your ballot cast for Andrew G.. Max
well for congress will be well cast.

condition.

Our Alley.

We have long admired the system and
energy which characterize the govern
ment of this District. The care of the
streets and alleys is something simply
wonderful. To illustrate: The writer
lives on New York avenue. This beau-
tiful street has four rows of trees and
park through the center. The eye rests
gratefully on grass in this park whereveE
it (the grass has taken suhicierAt care OF
itself to grow; but for tbse'fnost part ii
has given way to ba}d spots of earth
BY no order of the c6ty does the hand of
man, or his rakee--or broom, disturb the
repose of tine foreign substances which
daily gatiler along the half-grassed and
halfYbald margin of the street-railway
within this parking. 1t would he
safe to depend on finding a piece
of old iron or broken crockery
there year after its first deposit,
unless sooner removed by a private in.
truder. But the alley-our alley-it is
of that we wished mainly to speak. We
live where one of these narrow passages
intersects the avenue. Once week there
| comes through THIS alley solemn pro-
cesSion of four District government labor
ers. Between the paving stones of this
alley some blades of grass shoot up. Two
of the four men stoop down and with
their hands pull the tops off of the few
blades of grass, and laying them down
where they have pulled them they move
on, while the other two come with
brooms and sweep them slowly away.
This is in the center of the alley, which is
paved with large stones for, say, four feet
The sides of the alley, paved with smaller
stones, goes undisturbed. At a dist ance
from us neiehborly blacksmith on X
street has from time to time deposite d
cinders in the alley, making consider
able pile. These the city does not dis
turb. The alley-cleaners respect even old
rags and papers, and leave them undis.
turbed as they solemnly move on Their
weekly attack upon the unoffending
shoots of grass. The care taken not to
disarrange the rubbish in our alley can
not be too highly praised, when we con-
slider that four men are paid to go through
it once week.

Maine.

Maine gives the Republicans four Con-
gresham and the Democrats none, in
stead of her present delegation of three
Republicans to two Democrats. She re-
turns Mr.. Frye to the Senate, and puts
Colonel Robie into the executive chair
by majority of 5000. A pretty good
days work. Senator Frye was chairman
of the State committee and the candidate
for the Senate, without rival, which
made him the recognized leader in the
fight. His colleague, Mr.. Hale, and his
predecessor, Mr.. Blaine, and the candi-
dates for governor and for Congress, all
did splendid work, and will receive, with
him, and with the Republican voters of
the State, the hearty thanks of Republi-
cans throughout the country for this
magnificent victory.

Who Is To Blame :?

It is. of considerable consequence to
people who ride on horse cars that run
on routes intersected by steam-railroads
that horse-car drivers should not heed
lessly run into locomotives, that locomo-
tive engineers should not recklessly run
into horse cars, and that signal men
should be placed at crossings when and
where needed to give warning On Mon
day evening five passengers on Seventh
street car were dangerously injured, and
narrowly escaped death, by being struck
by moving locomotive of the Virginia
Midland road at the Maryland avenue
crossing. We are told by way of
explanation that as it was night
the horse-car driver could not
tell whether the locomotive head
light was moving towards him or
in the opposite direction, and that as he
saw no signal-light displayed at the cross
ing, he concluded to go ahead. We are
also informed that, although the railroad
company keeps fagmen there during the
day to warn people of the approach of
trains on the several tracks, at night only
one signal man is deemed necessary, and
his warning was only good for the south
side of the group of tracks. Somebody
has blundered. Who is it? Were these
companies granted their franchises with
out having any conditions imposed upon
them for the safety of the public? I'm
possible. Then who is to ascertain and
punish the fragrant violation ofthese con-
ditions by sombody last Monday night?
Has the public guardian? Is the
District government in any way charged
with the inquiry made necessary by the
mutilation of the five passengers? They
were either injured by the street rail-
road company or by the steam railroad
company. They may themselves sue for
injuries. But will this relieve the Dis
trict government from the duty of tax
ing measures for preventing repetitions
of such disasters, the next one of which
may be a massacre? Why should not
gate be placed at the crossing of Mary
land avenue, like that at III street, where
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad inter.
sects the horse-car track Indeed, such
gates ought to be established at every
crossing of much-traveled public street
with railroad. The public have rights
which should not be subordinated to priv
ileges. One of these rights is safe pas
sage through the common thoroughfares.

NOBODY cares what Colonel Ingersoll
or Mr.. Merrick or Judge Wilson or Mr..
Ker thinks about the reported attempts to
bribe the star-route jury. What the pub
lie demands is that there be an immedi-
ateinquiry as to what anybody and every
body knouS. If any juror will accuse any
man who approached him for the one
side or the other, let that man be arrested
and examined as to his guilt, and if
there be probable cause let him be held
to answer to any indictment that may be
found. Jurors hare charged in publishe ed
interviews that attempts have been made
in the interest of each side. The men
accused should be brought to an imme-
date account, as well as any who shall
appear to have been implicated with
them

THE LITTLE BRIDGE.

They parted on the Little Bridge
Which spans the running water,
The bright-eyed youth with fluent tongue,
And she-the yeomRns daughter.
A few fond words-a stolen kiss,
A little golden trlnket,
Twas all-but that his heart could change
She did not dare 10 think 1t.
He ejourneyed to bright southern lands
Where tropic skies bent DER him,
And wooed blind fortune I'LL she cast
A shower ofgold before him.
Then Fame TOOK up her trumpet, tuned
To sound his praise in story,
For much that to his life belonged
Was what the world calls giCry,
A Ribbon marke ed his high degree,
his name had added letters,
And not on him was any sign
OF llfes more calling fetters.
The maiden's path lay toward the north;
She toiled for daily guerdon,
And meekly bore her low estate
Nor felt her task u burden.
Till "hope deferred her spirit broke,
And thorns seemed springing round her,
And thoughts that once were purest 10y,
Had only power to wound her.
poor old maid with fading cheek
Tolls on nom carly morning,
With scanty thanks and little praise,
And ofttimes heartless scornlng,
And yet sometimes she sees the Bridge,
And hears the river flowing,
When memory llfls the shroud of years,
The dead past calmly showing
And sometimes he, in idle mood,
Mid silence all unhroken,
Just wonders if the Bridge still stands
Where their last words were spoken.
Tho Little Bridge stIll lightly spans
The rippling, running water;
But no bridge spans the gulf 'twixt him
And her-tho yeomRn's daughter.

The really distinctive society of Washington is
essentially low-toned Perhaps the champagne So
ccy of the politicians the vulgar crushes given for
political purposes, where we'll dressed ILL breed
ing and ignorance meet for review by society re-
porters, will always be the leading features of
Washington social life. AT any rate they are now.
The society that glarcs out and shines in ones
eyes is a society of rather coarse people, some of
whom are better than their mrnners, while many
OF them are men and women who have been
spoiled by political advancGments, and whose
chief end in life seems to be to drink champagne
aud eat terrapiu, as they once drank well water
and ate cornGd beef This is the kind of society
that stranger in Washington is likely to run into
If he does not take of himself, or If he does
not go to the capital with introductiOns into the

society in the capital Tnis is natural but so
long us il is true, society cannot be elegant and
refined. There is anuclCus in Washington for the
very best society in the country. 1t is not the
diplomatic corps, although many members of the
diplomatic corps properly belong to it. There are
other members of the body, though, who would

recent conversation with Judge George II.

fourth district Is to be represented by him in the

him one Of its clearest headed and most earnest
members. Ho is thoroughly accomplished and
resolutc gentleman, and the Bourbons Will find in
the campaign that they have TO meet one who can
command respect A letter from friend in his
district received yesterday says
: The Republicans are earnestly at work and there
Is no break In the ranks A few Uwo or three
spies in our camp, who are Democratic camp-fol-
lowers and paid with Democratic money, have
attempted to givgt the Democrats prctcNt TO base
report of disatIection in our ranks upon but all
in vain the old veterans who have stood By the
flag In its darkest days are rallyng TO the old
standard, and from the gallant countits Of Hale
and Loundes and Wilcox and Dallas we have the
assurance that the Republicans, and especially the
colored men, are earnestly at work and fully
determined TO use all their efforts from now
until the day of election, TO vindicnte
their rights at the ballot box. The
hiring dodge is too thin for the coored men of
critics Of their wives and little ones NJ higher
price than the poor miserable promises Of the
cowardly traitors hired by the Democrats TO de-
cclve them. John W. Jones will fill out Judge J;

tion to the Forty-e ghth Congress, 70 which he

tentary for campaign purposes, and dared the
