vinegar. On arriving at Ottawa. the cask was

SEVERE But JusT CENsURE-Throu.h all his ac
tive life Roscoe Conkling has stOoG in the OF
affairs and shared in the making of history. lie has
cast the shadow of his career the memory OF
a generation. But through all these years he has
made politics his trade and neglected statesmanship
as profession. He made his way by having the
machine at his back. and paid more heed to Oiling
its wheels than TO polishing his arguments. The
exhaustive study of public questions he left to other
men, and exhausted his own great powers in the
treadmill of politics. He reaps what he has sown

AGAINST ANOTHER PENSION FOR GRAST-It is no
true friend of General Grant that seeks by presi-
tent solicitation, TO extort from an unwilling Con
gress the boon of making him pensioner upon the
bounty Of the people of the United States. The
effort has already compelled discussion of the De
cunary circumstances of the cx-President show ina
that he is comparatively wealthy. and not IN the
slightest need of the stipend to live in style com
mensurate with his position. His reputation will

part of Congress enlarging his income. The people
and the Government have not been lacking in thc;I
recognition of the eminent services of General Grant
1t would lie ibelous TO say he ia grateful for
what they have done. or that he longs for IA still
larger compensation in dollars and cents, having
received everything of honor the American people
could bestow. Senator Logan TO think thai

owes him something that must be liquidated in solid
cash. This question of past payments ought to be

THE REASON WHY.-lt is said to be n settled
conclusion that there will he no extra session of
the Legislature for the purpose of districting the
State for Congressman. The reason is not the
heavy cost, or the disfranchiscd West, rs it is
made to appear. There is a stronger reason
Aan this Without districting, there will be
four Congressmen TO elect in the State at large,
and consequently to be nominated bya State
Convention. Certain ambitious gentlemen in
the State want to go to Congress. and have en-
tered into a combination with st. John to give
him their local influence for third term as Gov
ernor iu return for the votes of his delegates for
themselves for Congress. Thus, in a State Con-
veution, they can work to each others hands.
If the State should be districted, this game
would be spoiled

r 1t is asserted that Arthur has already com
menced preparing the way for his own reelection
in 1884. Thus far, he has not profited by past
history, and it is to be feared he will repeat the
same blnnders that former Vice-Presidential
Presidents did. Three times before, Vice Presi-
dents became President. Each time, they repu-
dated the policy and the advisers selected by
the deceased President, and marked out a new
policy of their own, with eye to reelection TO
the Office. All three killed themselves too dead
to skin, and had no respectable following, by the
time the next election came around. Each one
of the three was infinitely more able than Arthur.
If he cart take hint from history, he will re-
ceive q tremendous bump from experience.

II Roscoe Conkling has declined the position
of Associate Justice of the United States. He
never intended to accept it, and Arthur knew it
before he sent in his nomination; but the ap-
pointment was made, and pushed to a coniirma-
ton, in order TO show TO the country that they
could heap any indgnity upon the party that
had snubbed them. The average United States
Senator is the most abject dirt-eater to be found
He will vote to confirm almost anything, howev-
unfit and ont of place, lest the President should
get angry, and cut off his patronage Senators
are sworn to secrecy as to what transpires in ex-
ecutive session; but the proceedings are known
outside before the doors are unlocked.

LorD Call UroS GENERAL GRASI.-General
Grant should tell what he knows about Shipherd

but General Grants name has been used much by
spectators of various kinds. with or without his
consent. that he cannot afford TO carry any unneces

most of the names used by Shipherd. The rrmark-
able bubble-blower tells of what General Grant
actually did for him instead of what he expected
him to do. He saws that he -.autographicaily in

A DECAYED TowS.-The Nebraska Idreriiser,
which has been published at Brownville, for al.
most twenty-six years, has been removed to Cal
vert, a new town at a railroad crossing, near the
centre of the County. Brownyille was, for more
than twenty years. one of the most fiourishing
towns on the Missouri River, and enjoyed large
trade. But river navigation stepped, and the
railroads all missed the town; people and busi-
ness began to leave, aud now the town is fast
going to decay. The Nebraska City NeTs and
the Brownville Adratiser are the only papers be-
tween the Missouri River and California that are
older than the Chief.

~ Once upon a time, man noticed what
awe was inspired by heavy thunder. lie tried
to do it too, but the re ult only the washer
woman could fully appreciate. The County
Attorney of Usage County, not long ago, pub
lished letter which he wrote to Gov. st.
john in reply to one from that liquor monoma-
MAC, and the correspondence was published far
and wide, as model in its way. The County
Beard of Davis County recently requested the
County Attorney to bring all liquor suits in the
District Court direct, in order to save the heavy
expense arising from suits in Justices Courts.
The County Attorney rushes into print with a
reply, expecting TO create sensation like that
of Usage County. But the effort falls fat and
soggy, like that of the man who tried to initiate
the thunder.
II The President has offered the Supreme
Judgeship, declined by Conkling, to Senator
Edmunds, of Vermont, who has declined it, not
having taste for COnkling's leavings. Although
Edmunds was Grant Third-termer, he has not
got it 'bad," that he considers it favor to
be permitted TO wear Conklings cast-oT clothes.
1t is said that the place will now be rendered to
Judge Blarchford, of New York He ought to
have BEEN appointed in the first place, but it
was necessary to show the country that Conk-
ling could be showed upon it, whether 1T wanted
him or not Whether Blatchford will take the
office, under the circumstances, remains to be
