NOT THE VISIT BUT TIE GUsH

The Sentinel man, for some cause or
another, has soured on the visit of the ex-
confederates.-1renton Herald.
No, not on the visit, but on the
silly manner in which some of the
eloquent orators (including the hand
some editor of the Herald stopped
over in the attempt to apologize for
treason, in a nauseous avalanche of
sickly gush.
Neither the orators nor the audi
tors believed one-halflof their "taffy''

each other

A CONFEDERATE MISTAKE,

WASHINGTON, April 20. Il have
promised you letter SO long that
suppose, in justice to myself, ]
should write long one, but really
there is little to write about Con
gress is just about getting down to
work.
According to the understanding
arrived at by the Republican caucus
the contested election cases are to be
brought forward and settled at once.
The first case taken up is the Lynch
Chalmers contest from Mississippi,
the committee recommending that
the seat be awarded to Lynch, the
colored contestant. It is rumored
that the Democrats propose to filibus-
ter on this case, but they can have no
good excuse for any such course, as
there is no doubt that Lynch was
elected. II the Democrats want to
fiibuster they had better do it on
some other case. The impression at
the caucus meeting the other night
was that the committee could dispose
of all it's work in short order, but cal
culations were not made for Demo-
cratic flibustering. The Republican
majority, of course, will stand by the
committee, and an exciting time may
be expected before these matters are
disposed Of The Democrats are
making vigorous efforts to get their
absentees here. They always have
more difficulty in this respect some
how, than the other side, but that
was one of their troubles even when
they were in majority.
Apropos of the contest above men,
toned, very good story is told A
prominent ex-Confederate officer now
residing in Washington, started out
the other evening to find man-ser-
want. BE met pretty good looking
colored man, and asked if he could
recommend a good servant. The
colored man regretted that he could
not. "What are you engaged at 2"
asked the ex-Confederate, "Why
can't I employ you % 81 am not
doing anything just now" was the
reply but I expect to have seat
in Congress in a few days. My name is
Lynch, and am contesting the seat
Gen. Chalmers"

Inc Hurry of agitation over the
veto OF the Chinese bill has subsidized.
and some of our disconsolate states
men are settling down to the con-
vlction that they are not hurt half
as badly as they first supposed. On
the whole, the sober sentiment of the
country sustained the President
This attempted prescription of the
Chinese is, after all, directly at vari-
ance with the spirit of our free insti-
buttons. But with its accustomed
blind faulty the Democratic party
fails to see it.
Judging from the tone of the
Democratic press they will attempt
to make this Chinese business an
issue this Fall. We may expect to see
the "White Boys in Blue and part
ly white Boys in Grey" and kindred
high-toned Democratic organizations
parade the streets with campaign
banners emblazoned with Mothers
do you want your daughters to mar
ry Chinamen?" "Vote the Republi-
can ticket and live on rats" These
be very effective arguments-with
the hoodlums.
We remember the beautiful ban
ner carried by the "White Boys" in
parade in Trenton a few years
since. 1t represented a hideous
black man with the whites of his
eyes rolled toward an equally hideous
white woman and underneath, the
inscription-"Do you want your
daughter to marry nigger?"
It was very efective-in defeating
the Democrats.
And that is the way this Chinese
question will turn out. 1t will prove
a boomerang.
Will the liberal element in the
Democratic party always be kept in
the background and the Bourbons
always dominate it?

Few people have any idea Of the e-

railroads of the United States. r. il
estimated by competent judges that it
takes yearly 10000 acres of forest to
supply this demand, no less than 49,
100000 being used annually for which
on an average the contractors get thr-
five cents apiece, making in The aggrc-
gate $5,250.000. In building new
road the contractors figure on 2,7O0 ties
TO tho mile, while it takes 800 ties 10
the mile to keep u constructed road in
repair. The average Of good piece of
timber land is 200 trees to the acre and
twelve ties to the tree. White or burr
oak is considered the best timber for
the purpose, although cherry. maple,
ash. and even locust have been used.
