our sole aim in conducting The CRITIC
is TO make it an indispensable adjunct TO
the domestic happiness of everybody in the
District Of Columbia. To that end we en-
deavor to pint something in each issue
if IL he nothing more than paragraph
which win be acceptable to the adhorcnts
of each OF the great parties we have meu-
toned. We submit that such a status
cannot be properly described as having
no politics" " On the contrary, rs the dull
est mind-even the New York Tribune
can easily perceive, THE CRITIC makes il q
special feature to have all the politics
that are going. And it is our intention,
in case any entcrprising fellow starts sew
enth great party, to rake that in too
As to the RepuJlicaas assertion that "the
editor of THE CRITIC is the most ardent
admirer of Blaine" in several hemispheres,
more or less, it is probably true with the
triHipg exception that THE CRITIC has no
editor in the excessively personal sense in
dicated by our esteemed contemporary.
Only organs of an Administration, like
our esteemed contemporary, can afford the
luxury Of a personal editor, whose great
name may serve to give to the utterances
of the organ from time to time that weight
which they might not, haply, derive from
their intrinsic logic. Therefore the theory
that any part Of the conduct of THE
CRITIC is caused by the admiration" of
any individual for Mr.. Blaine is wholly
! fallacious. THE CRITIC admires no
| body.

Sound Advice to Bliss.

OHlanb kI>tD.)
If Col. Bliss does not have a better under
standing of the Star-route cases at Washing
ton than he has OF the one that has Just col
lapsed here, he had better call in the aid OF
Mr.. Brewster and some primer or book on
geography. He talks about the con
fessions of Deadwood postmaster
the refusal OF the Deadwood postmas
ter to testify, and the local influence of Mr.
Salisbury and the mail contractors, as the
causes of the Star-route collapse. Col. Bliss
ought TO let Lawyer Woolworth tell him wha
he does not know about the Star-route prose
cutions in Nebraska, and somebody else ought
TO give him n few facts how the Indictment OF
Corbin and Iddings was procured at the hands
OF a Grand Jury.
Our advice to Col. Bliss is a part only Of thai
which Mr.. Greeley once gave to a friend
Come West, young man., but you cannot
"grow up with the country" It.is too late fol
a man who is stuffed with so much misintor-
nation about Nebraska and her people to
grow up with this part Of the country; II he

stead OF growing up he would grow dorm.

Literary Notes.

Mr.. Richard Grant Whites second paper on
"Opera in New York, in the Century for April,
will have striking pictorial features, and is
said TO bristle with crisp opinions and enter
tanning "reminiscences. OF special interest are
the comments on famous singers, and the de-
scriptions of the interiors Of the old historic
theatres and opera-houses of New York, and
OF the fashionable audiences that used to
gather in the Astor Place opera-house.
Henry Waterson, the editor Of the Louis
Vile COuiier-,jOuTndl, Will contribute a curious
paper to the April Century on the oddities of
Southern Life" 1t deals mainly with the
humorous side of Southern character In the
days before the war, and contains also the
authors views of the changes for the better
that have grown out Of the new and more
wholesome relations between the North and

Boston Journal,


1t must be confessed that II seems little
hard that Sergeant Mason should be i'm
prisoned for eight years for falling to hit Gui-
teau, while Guiteau Is assigned special cell
as sort OF salesroom, In which he receives
hosts OF visitors, and sells them from $40 TO
$40 worth OF his autographs and photographs
daily. The Washington prison officials seem
determined TO treat Guiteau as sort of dis
guished guest instead Of condemned muir

The other day we yentured to remark
that, in our judgment, there was no great
public demand for a systematic assault on
the memory of the late President Garfield.
Whereupon the New York Tribune accuses
us of ''hsving no politics" while our es-
teemed contemporary, the Republican, de-
elares that we are "the most devoted adj
mirer Of Blaine" in seYeral hemispheres,
more or less. Let us dispose of both at
once;

ACCORDING to present appearances the
coming season will witness the greatest
amount of building ever done in Washing
ton. Already ground is being cleared and
broken for greater number of houses than
were put up last year, although the build
ing season proper has not yet opened. An
experienced architect estim ates that at the
rate Of progression noted since 1879 all the
principal streets between Seventh and Con-
necticut avenue will be built up solid to the
Boundary within five years. 1t is worthy
of remark that the tide Of building is, to
some extent, receding from the West End
toward what is generally termed the
North Side.

The Lady Of the Lake mine, in Bullion
District, Lander County, situated 20 miles
from Beowawe and about 10 miles from

been sold to Eureka parties, the purchasers
being Messrs. W. o. Mills Jr., James H.

one-fourth of their remaining interest in
consideration OF their share of the profits
of mining and milling on a one-fourth
ownership. The company have leased
with the privilege of BUYING a five-
stamp mill two miles from the mine, from
which ore is easily transported down the
mountain. The mill is situated on a creek,
which supplies ample water. The mine
has been prospected by a tunnel run in
100 feet, tapping the ledge SO feet from the
surface. The ore has been extracted by
stopping upwards on the ledge. 1t has been
worked since 1878, but has not paid much
profit, as the ore had to be shipped,
at considerable expense. to Cortez or
to Eureka for reduction, the mill
spoken of having been built for another
mine. The ledge is In quartzite and por-
phyry; is four feet in width, and yields
free milling ore. There are said to be 1870
ton OF ore stopped out and in sight. The
purchasers claim that the ore will average
800 to the ton. Five men have been sent
from Eureka to work the mine under Mr..
DuCummun, who will act as foreman.
Mr.. ]. NJ. Smith will go over to the mine
and attend to the ACCOUNTS of the COM
pany, look after the assays and act as gen.
eral agent OF the purchasers.

BOISE CRY, Feb. 13.-"An Interesting
Talk About Members of Congress-" Under
this head the Idaho Statesman will publish
tomorrow morning an article prepared by
Bishops Hart and Bulge, three or four
wived ~polygamists of the last Idaho Legis-
lature, and published as an editorial in the
Democratic organ of this city. Following
is q portion of the article: At the very
hour the Governor was telling off his little
piece (meaning his message to the Demo-
cratic Legislature of Idaho), George @.
Cannon, delegate to Congress, and elected
by Mormon votes in q Mormon Territory,
admitted into the Union under a Mormon
priesthood, was in Washington staring a
Republican Administration In the face.
With his four polygamous wives hanging
upon his arm mot prostitutes) he was
ogling the Government. There were heads
OF Departments, attaches, Senators. MEM
bers and others in high position, and
mostly Republicans legally married or
single. staring back at the Utah polyga-
mist, each with an unsaid number Of con-
cubines slowed away in the background.
Those at all familiar with the life behind
the scenes in Washington City know this
statement to be true, and the same condi-
ton OF things has existed there ever since
the reins Of government passed out Of the
hands Of the Democratic party. Their
great wrong in this Territory Is not in
their religion. but in always voting the
Democratic ticket. They do this because
it is their right to do 80. and because they
indorse the everlasting principles Of De-
mocracy, and it Is the right Of the party to
receive, and Its duty to defend, them.
