The Decay OF Parties.

It is difficult to find Democrat who
3 not critic Of the party, and the most
enthusiastic Republican can do no bet
ter for his party but to apologize for its
weakness, and implicate the Democrats
in its corruption and misrule. The tone
of the Republican press, with some few
exceptions, il bitterly censorious in its
treatment of the party, and goes fur to
convince the people that for the past
year or two, ut all events, the Kcpub"
Lean party was either doing nothing or
in mischief. Congress is Republican in
both branches, and yet il sat in Wash.

Profits or Railroads.

the people in lands and bonds to an
amount ut least two or three times their

who have Z ven the subject thought and
inquired into the enormous profits real
lied by the railroad corporations. A
Kansas exchange. in commenting upon
tho objects Of the Farmers Alliance,
which is the controlling of railroad

lowing:

NOT a Successful Canvsser.

The well known book canvasser
John G. Bryant, sometimes takes a
notion to ht lp some impecunious NOR
tails out of financial difficulties by en-
ploying them as sub.agents and fitting
them out with sample bible and an
album, start them on the road to for
tune which seems within their grasp.
Yesterday morning one of these seekers
after temporary fortune, was started
on his career by Mr.. Bryant.
He was sure he would succeed for he
was well known amongst railroad men.
He started out about o'clock, the
fresh morning air imparting health
full glow to Tuddy cheeks, and as his
240 avoirdupois made the bricks creak
beneath his feet, he smiled at the good
luck in store for him. He was so sure
he would succeed amongst his RAILROAD
chams that he did not even take his
sample bible with him. An hours
work was enough for him. He got no
subscribers Nearly every place he
went. Mr.. Bryant had been ahead of
him. Discouraged he retraced his
steps, went home, threw his burly form
upon bed and went to sleep while his
landlord went whistling for his rent.
1t was evident that there was too much
of him to be a book canvasser. Bryant
laughs and keeps on selling, having al
ready sold So, 300 worth of books during
the winter and he says he has hardly

discussing the correspondence between
Mr.. Lowell and Secretary Frelinghuy-
sen in regard to suspects. says I'VE
hear a great deal Of protests of the
Washington Cabinet, with the fear of
the Irish vote before their eyes, against
our finding it necessary to imprison
American suspects, but we hear very
little of steps taken by them against
the assassination press
In the House of Commons this after
noon Mr.. Forster made a personal
statement denying that the government
had negotiated with the suspects clau-
destinely 20 him, as alleged by the
Right Hon, James Lowther.
Mr. NAvitt hos visited Mr.. Brennan
in Kilkenny Prison. He states that he
intends, while in Ireland, to avoid pub
lie demonstration or speaking, so as
not to give the government an excuse
for stopping remedial legislation. He
returned to Dublin last evening.
