The Masonic Hall was not crowded
Tuesday-in fact it could have held
quit as many more than we're present
to hear the Hon. w. H. Hatch explain
himself on his record in congress. Mr..
Hatch devoted much of his time to the
River and Harbor bill-a bill which has
been impolitely termed "steal," by
some of the leading party papers of the
country. of both parties. That it was
all or even large part of it illegitimate
no one claims. The appropriation for
the Missouri and Mississippi rivers, and
for legitimate harbor and river improve
ments elsewhere,were all right enough,
if the country could afford but the ad-
vantange taken of the worthy objects
to tack on obscure rivulets and
creeks all over the country in order
to secure votes is where the OBJ
jectionable features come in. Presi-
den: Arthur clearly set forth this in
a very pithy sentence to the effect
that the "worse the bill the more likely
to pass" And so it is. But we are
not growing. We "got our share"
for once anyhow. So that makes it
right. Or, does it?

So FAR we h,ve felt no vibration of
the earth-th though the wonderful reform
convention has met and adjourned.
Even the Globe- Democrat, whose child
it was, does not "boom' after the
characteristic manner Of that Journal.
What is the mater anyhow? Does
anybody know. Them asses do not
seem TO even care, to any great extent
what the convention did or who was
nominated. No bonfires, no monster
ratification meetings no general jubil-
alton. Perhaps the eminent respecta-
bility" the of affai. froze up the enthusi-
asm.

two hundred were in the hall during

strength to study a profession,
strength to regulate a household,
strength to do days labor with

broken down, have not energy, or
feel as if life was hardly WORTH Iiv-
