Poor HuRLBUT, dead and gone and his

SARAH BERNHARDr is married OF
course that advertising coffin can no longer
be used for couch. 1t was not made for
two.
SENATOR INGALLS, actually proposes to
ask the consent of Indians when railroad
magnates like the Seligmans desire to go
through their poc-lands.
OUR Genial friend Stilson Hutchins, in
this mornings Post, indulges in some quite
interesting and very inaccurate reminis-
censes of the notorious bandit, Jesse James
BEAU BEN. BREWSTER, with his ruifled
shirt and scarlet vest, in yellow carriags
with armorial bearin S, is sight that must
titillate the pride of the average Republic

SOME foolish people in Virginia have
actually prevented two duels. 1t is really
criminal to thus interfere with the harm
less amusement of gentlemen who like to
see their names in the papers.
AN indianapolis firm was the lowest bid

-
A SNOWMAN these columns are not
used for advertising or his name would be
used) has had bust of Guiteau made and
purchased the assassin's clothes, intending
to exhibit the bust dressed in the clothes
If some enterprising - hoodlums" destroy
that bust and those clothes The CRITIC
will say well done"
IT is probable that it was Jessie James
this time, and if, as appearances indicate,
the assassin James was murdered in q most
cowardly manner by another assassin hired
by Governor Crittenden, of Missouri, be.
cause the whole State was afraid to arrest
James, manhood must be az very low ebb
in that section and assassination and cow
ardicc at premium.
If Messrs. Barr, Heilman and Kiotz, the
Subcommittee of the House District Com
mittee, before whom Mr.. Murch goes on
Monday, in regard to his resolution to in
vestigate the gas monopoly, desire full in
formation ON the subject, THE CRITIC can
furnish the names of some gentlemen who
can give valuable information aud will be
glad to do so if requested.
THE Democrats are rejoicing over the
sIring elections. The rural Democratic
exchanges of THE CRITIC for some days to
come will abound with roosters rampant
and the Republican with long editorials as
iugubrious as the lament of dying sinners.
The news editor has just ordered a large
cardboard with which to cover up any long
article entitled "The Situation" "The
Reasons Why" or anything else.
THE idea that George Bliss was put into
the Star-Hbute cases to discover the real
strength of the Government side, as sug-
gested by the New York .Sua of to-day, Is
all nonsense. He was simply the selection
of Tom James at time when the recovery
of President Garfield was given over, in tht
hope that Bliss influence might prevail will
Arthur to retain the said James as p. NJ
G. As far as heard from, the plan did no
work. James went out, but Bliss continue
todraw his 500 day, and doesn't know
much about the cases, either.
THE Democrats are jubilant over the veto
They regard 1t as the deathblow TO the Re
publican party in California, and are conf
dent that no other measure can be Introduces
and passed this session to remedy the eyi
complained Of by all classes Of citizens in tn
far west.--fOst.
Then the Democrats have no regard 70
the people of the Pacific coast. They ar
"jubilant" at the prospect of the continu
ahce Of the troubles under which thos
people lasor, and in order to gain a tenn
porary party advantage are willing, appar
emily, to see them aggravated. Truly, thi
is a question that must commend itself t
the suffering people of that section.
THE CRITIC has forced the satraps o
Four-and.a-half street to ask Congress 70
special fund to improve the streets whic
they have neglected. Congress should ap
propriate the money asked for but it shoul
direct its expenditure in those portions {
the city neglected by the satraps. Mary
land avenue northeast. for instance, one
the most important and beautiful streets /
the city, leading to two cemeteries and
thickly settled country outside the city an
District limits. If the satraps are allowe
to expend the money, THE CRITIC advise
any of its friends who desire to speculat
