OPing His Party.

Senator Bayard has just returned
from the land of geysers and wonder

stone Park, and is shaking hands
with himself because OF the political
change wrought during his absence
He says; "Fhese few weeks that l.

favorable. The Republican party is
h~opelessly divided, with a mar at the
head Of its ticket whose past public
career does not, | think. invite con-
fdence for the future. / believe
there has been a sentiment within
the Republican party working for
"a long time of pronounced
dissatisfaction with the methods
and the mea ,ures used and the class
Of candidates which have been forced
upon them by the machinery of their
party, and l think that the sense of
self respect Of a very large body,
comprising the best element Of the
Republican party, has long been dis
posed to revolt at the supercilious and
corrupt dictation Of a handful Of Off
cial leaders. | believe that the time
has at length arrived when they intend
to emancipate themselves and follow
their conscientious opinions in politi-
cal matters, l am only surprised that
they have not done this long before
This involves, of course, the defeat of
the Republican organization and its
candidates in Pennsylvania and New
York. My anxiety now is hat the
Democratic or opposition party shall
comprehend the true condition of
affairs, and realize what | hope will be
an enduring fact, that there is a polit-
zeal conscience among the people of
the United States which can and will
break the power of any party organi-
cation which threatens to become
dangerous to the charsc ter and welfare
of society

HouIk's Assessments.

Washington Special TO N. Y. Herald.
During the past week an agent Of
Congressman leonidas Caesar Houk.
OF Tennessee, went through the De-
partments collecting money TO aid Mr..
Houk in his efforts atre election. He
asked them TO give as much as they
could for this purpose. 1t is known
that some Of them gave two per cent
Of their salaries This is the second
assessment that has been levied by
Mr.. HOuk on Tennessee Office holders
here. The first was in July. When
that was collected Mr.. HOuk's agent
said no more would be called for, but
it seems that the %exigencies Of Mr.,
Houk's canvass required more Of the
sinews OF war. In a letter from Mr..
Houk, printed in the Herald OF
July n, be said there was no serious
division among the Republicans Of mis-
Congressional district, and that he
would be re elected. Mr.. Houk's
district gave Garfield over eighty five
hundred majority, Of which about
seven thousand was on the white vote,
Mr.. Houk claims TO be the only Re.
publican candidate running, and that
he is the nominee Of his party, and
that his competitor, Mr.. William Rule.
is only a boiler who has deserted the
party. On this point a RepublicaI
Office holder says:
Now If there is no serious opposi.
ton to Mr. Houk on the part Of Re.
publicans, as he says, why does h,
make these numerous assessments OF
the clerks and messengers with a Ro.
publican majority OF 800 in his dis
trict with all the colored voters count
ed on the other sidel What does b,
do with the money!"
Mr.. Houk is a member of Mr.
Hubbell s committee.

A writer in the Industrial Review
advises the introduction ofthe bamboo
in the Southern States. Though
capable Of growing on uplands, it is
said to be especially suited to and
valuable for low-lying, marshy
regions, such as fringe the
South Atlantic and Gulf States. Its
uses are numerous. AS a timber for
building and construction purposes,
for tools, implements, etc, it is well
known. As an article Of food its
young shoots serve as substitutes for
vegetables and are pronounced deli
cious. Bamboo curry and chow-ehow
are excellent. The growing plant is
invaluable also as a defense against
malaria, sweeping 6res and cyclones.

Western men, while Hancock was
