take the above from the New 10TH
Times of April 18th, occasionally the true
i,var,lnesS of Radicallsm leaks out thrO

srioht in making these changes; in the

The tariff bill still holds the boards OF
tho Great National circus and the clowns
make speech after speech upon this impor-
,,nf question TO the people. The Repub-
inns present the high tariff side OF the
orestion and the Democrats the other side.
" a., 10 ha
,nrerh vet made upon this question, as
IN Mr.. CARLYLE of Kentucky. There is a
lass of men in Congress always ready to
make speeches upon the important ques-
,iopS like the tariff who know no more
sLout the subject of tariff than mules, but
,bev talk all the same and develope ut the
ueoples expense their assinine knowledge
The bill granting right of way through
the Indian nation 10 the st. Louis and san
Francisco railroad passed the Senate by
ibe hercuean efforts of eX-Secretary OF
Var Belkuap of unsavory fame. This lob
living Nv eX-oflicials has become a stencil
and should be set down on by Congress 1T
once. Every steal TO be engineered thro
congress, Bclknap and his gang put in al
sppearance. This fellow looks upon hi'
,stt robberies of the dead soldiers as {
GOOD Joke successfully played upon the
dead at the expense of the living tax pay

Hon. John Blair lloge with other MEM

Land League in New York city some days

Ills cush INDUCED in by members anc
senator's of the United States Congress:
over the Imprisonment of the Irish sus-
meets. | think every nation on earth has
more lust cause of complaint against III

Carl Shurz and others whose proper place
is the states prison and not in the coun'
eel, of nations Let up on this Irish Ques'
lion for short period. While l do moi
srree with Minister LOwelPs course il

nj, refusal to interfere in the case of ev'
rrv cowardly assassin who chooses 10
claim American protection.
W. L. Chandler OF Louisiana frauo
fame has been confirmed Secretary of the
Navy. Comment upon this appointment
oflhe stalwart President is Unnecessary.
