Not for the "Plaisted Family.

A Waldo county (Maine) democrat,
writing to an old army comrade in Boston
adds the following political note:
"Politics in Maine have become considera-
bly, mixed the past few years, and the infu-
sion of disgruntled republican blood into the
veins Of the democrats has had a most de-
moralizing effect upon the democratic party.
We had strong body of selfish men before,
but the greenback recruits. with Plaisted as
head gormsndizer, surpass everything for I'M
limited greed heretofore known in this polit-
ical vale of tears, and / might also add, for
political cheek. There are lots of demo-
Gratis with greenback proclivities who are
tired of furnishing votes for the special ben
eft of the Plais ted family

OOings in Commons.

In Commons, today, Trevelyan, Chief
Secretary for Ireland, said O'Mohoney, sus-
pect, is not an American citizen and had not
been prevented from writing to Lowell, U. S.
Minister. The government. he declared
have not offered O'Mohoney or any Ameri-
can citizens money to quit the country.
Gladstone announced that tomorrow he
would move that the repression bill have
precedence over all other business until its
consideration was concluded. He said if he
finds it necessary he will afterwards ask the
precedence for arrears of rent bill.
Parnell gave notice he would move, to-
morrow, that Gladstones resolution in re-
gard to the repression bill shall also apply to
the areas bill.
Gladston then moved a second reading of
the arrears bill.
Sclater Booth, conservative, then moved
an amendment, declaring 1t ineVpedient to
charge the consolidated fund with any pay
ment for areas except in the form of loan.
Alymer, member for Maidstone, supported
Sclater Booths amendment.
Forster testified to the general leniency of
landlords in Ireland though there we're in
dividual cases of hardships. 1t would be of
interest to landlords to reduce the number
of tenants. He believed many landlords
would accept small compensation from ten
ants in order to get governments grant. He
strongly favored grant taking forL. Of gift.
Mulholland. conservative member for
Down Patrick, strongly opposed either loan

Why we Have so Few Good Riders.

1t has frequently been the subject of re-
mark as to the cause of the scarcity of good
Jockeys. To be sure we have some excellent
riders-Barrett, Evans, Hughes, Barbee,
Feakes, and probably half dozen others,
but not more. The secret is explained in the
fact that unless Jockey takes great care of
himself, constant exercise in the saddle will
superinduce Piles of the most aggravating
character, that itch intensely, particularly
after getting warm in bed, and thus render
him unfit for service on the track. However,
if Swayne's Ointment were used, the worst
case of Itching Piles would be speedily cured.

Suspension of Sentence.

WAsHISGToS, May %.
It is believed that the suspension of SEN
tence in the case of Doyle, convicted of coun-

officers are in hopes of obtaining information
through him regarding the bond plate from
which the bonds were printed 1t is further
said that the disclosures before the grand
jury here, tended to show that the plate was
genuine and not counterfeit, but it is a mys-
terry how the plate was obtained.

for second class instead of fourth.
