ground for the regulation of Chinese
immigration, but that the bill passed is
a proper mode Of reaching the object,
which even the president comedies may
be desirable.
IT is now confidently declared that MIR.
Rawle can and will be nominated for su-
prone judge by the Republicans even
with half the delegates from his city
against him. General Beaver will have a
practically solid delegation from Philadel-
phia, and that will end all pretence of a
hopeful contest for Farmer Butler.
FACT is sometimes stranger than poetry.
For example /:
The bells of Shandun,
That sound so grand on
The pleasant waters OF the river Lee"
According to Joseph Hatton, " the bells
of Shandon " ring out over AS squalid Il
neighborhood as you might find in any
great city. The old church which the
bells have made famous is the centre Of
one of the poorest and most miserable of
the purlieus Of Cork, while tho parish is
made up Of rookeries reeking with the
foul odors from the shambles and slaugh-
ter houses and of pestilential lanes lined
with novels.
THE "rider' to the army bill which got
through the House to-day, providing for
the compulsory retirement Of army officers
at the age of sixty two, will make sweep

general officers, including Generals Sher-
man, Mcdowell, Hancock, Popo and G.
c. Augur three inspector generals, one

three commisaries of subsistence, sixteen
medical officers, eleven paymasters, twelve

A WORTHY individual WHO has too long
been without due honor gets his deserts
in these remarks by or at least from the
Printer's Circular:
The professor of journalism, who period
ically tells us all about newspapers, has
failed to notice a comparatively modern
nnk font, <,f In
newspaper, namely, the headline. This is
stealthily conquered for itself an infiu-
sometimes ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It
often happens that the ingenious artist in
this department is really editing the paper.
He can convey an impression which the
writer's of ponderous leaders are endeavOr-
ing to avoid. He can create a doubt Or
awaken suspicion by single artfully
chosen word, or sow broadcast an opinion
which it may take columns of writing to
show is unfounded. Suggestions that are
buried in the body of articles may attract no
attention but the flaming headline takes
the eye at once, and its diagnosis of the
matter which it criticises may be very wide
off the mark without the average reader
applying any corrective. The headline
largely regulates the emphasis that is
given to the report Of current events.
Small matters in this way may be magni-
fed, and mere conjectureS invested with
nearly the dignity of facts,
THE Neio Era makes some suggestions
about Gen. Beaver which will be as timely
after his nomination as they are now. It
declares that at the Chicago convention
che literally sold himself to tho great
political dictator and the latter is to-day
engaged in tho attempt to cajole the peo-
ple into paying the debt he contracted
with General Beaver in $780," Further
more it wants to know whether the peo-
pie of Pennsylvania will permit themselves
to be used in the payment of the political
obligations of Don Cameron or whether
they will not. Every man in Pennsylva
MIA who is opposed to the long years of
Cameron domination and tyranny must
ask himself whether this domination can
be overthrown by the elevation of man
who even went SO far as to violate his
solemn obligations to his confiding con-
stituents in order to do the behests of his
imperious master" We are decidedly of
the opinion that such a man is not fit to
be governor. One who sells himself to
Cameron and violates his solemn obliga-
tions should certainly meet with the
united opposition Of all who arc opposed
to Cameron domination and tyranny. The
Democracy are of that number, but, of
course, have no chance to defeat Beavers
nomination. After that event they hope
to have the New Era stick to its present
bold text and cooperate with them.
