WE ARE THE SAINTS.


The earth is for saints, and the fullness thereof
And we are the saints, beyond question;
Though this to outsiders may seem rather
rough,
And trouble their sleep and digestion.
The partys united, clearly you see,
And that, am sure, is no wonder;
For why shouldn't people unite and agree
When moved by such promise of plunderf
Combining our force in the usual way,
The surplus we calamity captured.
Whatever the mass of the party may say,
The leaders are highly enraptured.
There's scarcely a chance that our fellows
have missed,
In rivers aud tarbors and pensions:
And all through the session the tax-eating list
Has grown to enormous dimensions.
The people, you think, are beginning to kick7
Is that what you want to be saying?
Before we get through they'll have cause 70
be sick;
You don't know the cards we are playing.
We've got it down fine from the census re-
ports
The list of legitimate voters,
OF all the persuasiOns. com plexions and sorts,
Ding the darkies and hoaters.
We mean to have Offices contracts, and such,
To lie the majority t;3 ussts u
And then. with our money pp<matter how
Twill puzzle the restto tdiifdS Is $40.

ABROAD.

THE political phase of the Egyptian war
was discussed in the French Chambers and
in the English Parliament on the 18th inst
The close cooperation of the two Powers
seemed likely to ensue. The French Cabi-
net adopted resolution based on three
conditions, viz: Turkeys reply to the
identical note of the Powers inviting the
Porte to send troops to Egypt; decision
of the Conference, and the sanction of Par
lament. Subject to these conditions the
two Governments were entirely agreed in
regard to the terms upon which their
forces undertake. to restore order in
Egypt. In the. House of Commons Sir
Charles Dixie, Under Foreign Secretary,
said that the identical note addressed by
the Powers to the Porte was still unan-
swered. It was reported that Arabi Pasha
is preparing to move. Disappointment
and indignation were most keen at the
great blu1der of allowing the favorable
momentf for ending the revolt at stroke
to slip by, while the troops we're detained
inactively by orders from home.

Hedging the Assessment Question.

There seems to be disposition on the
part of our Half-breed contemporaries
to flee from the wrath to come, or in
more vulgar parlance to he'd re, with
respect to the assessment question.
They ace full of virtuous protest against
the tone of the circulars sent out by the
Republican Congressional Committee,
but the work still goes bravely on. As
a rule, the Half-breed organs are in
sympathy with the Half-breed leaders,
but we do not see how they can take
exception to the blackmailing document
that is sent with merciless impartiality
to laborers, errand boys, widows and
orphans in Government employ, and
still claim to be in harmony with some
of the most prominent men in their
faction. For the Congressional Commit
tee is by no means OF exclusive Stalwart
composition. my dear Hubbelr' was
a Garfield man when Garfield was alive,
whatever he may be with Garfield
dead. Henderson has Blaine leanings,
at least, when Blaine is mending fences
instead of building houses, and the
three Senators, Hale, Allison and Aid
rich, would hardly consent to be held
up as representing the Stalwart wing
of the party. But the Secretary
signs the circular "by order of the
Committee" unanimous order SO
far as the circular shows, or so far
as we have any outside light to
go by. In short, we do not see how
the Administration can be held primari-
ly responsible for this dirty business,
anyway. The victims are directly or
indirectly of Federal appointment, it is
true, and must look to the President or
his immediate subordinates for sacrifice
or protection; but the. blackmailers are
Congressman. They belong to the
breeds claim that their Representatives
largely outnumber the Republicans of
the Stalwart stripe. 1t would ha @dly
succeed in making capital out of the
responsible. Moreover, in this sudden
assumption of virtue there is something
suspicious. If assessments are right in
principle it is no worse to levy them in
an "otf year" than it is in Presidential
campaign. 1t may show that the ex-
igencies of the party are greater than
usual, but not that its methods are any
worse-only put to a little harder
objections to seeing the Half-breed
scheme for eating the party
cake and keeping it, too, sue
ceed. The Half-breed organs know
as well as do the Stalwa~ts
that they have enjoyed at least eight
years of power which they would not
have enjoyed except they had employed
this and other forms of moral compul-
sion, and in the excitement of another
campaign they will use the same bridge
again, with fervent prayer that it may
not be too rotten to carry them over

MURDER AT BISBEE.
An lnOfyensiv~ Man Shot D

An lnofrensiv- Man Shot Down.
 Two well known Bisbee ruffians, named Billy Armstrong and Glide Reed, got on a jambOree last Tuesday, and as is GUS tomary with such characters, proceeded to run the town. There are no officers of any kind at Bisbee, and the rowdies succeeded in keeping the peaceful population in state of terror. They drank repeatedly at every saloon, insulted every person they encountered, brandished pistols, and dis charged them without contemplating or caring what mischief they might do, and finally knocked down a boy who began to laugh at thea. At this point the rutfians separated, and Armstrong entered the sa. loon kept by Frank Stanley. The latter remonstrated with him for continuing such conduct, but his kind admonition was received with curses and threats, and the ruffian's violence seemed to overflow. Stanley ordered him out of the saloon, and Armstrong, almost without warning, drew his pistol and fired, the bullet passing through the right lung and coming out near the spine. He fell to the ground senseless, and the murderer speedily es- capped. The wounded man fingered in ex- treme pain until yesterday morning, about 8 o'clock, when he expired The murdered man is spoken of. as being sn honest, in- offensive citizen, industrious and studious in his habits and intensely popular with his neighbors He was less than thirty years old and had been resident of Bis bee for couple of years. The murderer may be depicted as a worthless sot, who has made business of gambling and ruff fanism and profession of mining. The people of RisbeO were in 8 high state of excitement and searched the entire vicini- ty for the culprit, with the intention of ad- ministering summary justice. A public meeting was held, and Read the boon com panion of the murderer was ordered to leave towns Forthwith, and posse of citi- zens deputized to give chase to the assas- sin At last accounts the murderer had succeeded in evading justice.

It is cher ubic effort to break the ranks of the Democracy in favor of the Republi. can ticket. Any Democrat proclaim ing himself an Independent will be so cold after election that it will re- quire the heat of seven summers to thaw him out The Democratic party will make good nominations, and as many Republicans as so de- sire may vote for them.
