POLITICAL POINTERS.

Cincinnati Enquirer: As near as We
can determine the Republicans fully
understand that the only thing for
them to do now is to wait i'll the
clouds roll by.
Chicago Herald: The cold line Dem
ocratsn in Massachusetts die hard, but
IL is written in the book of fate that
they must 20. Ben Butler will chain
them to his chariot wheels. Next to
the saints of Beacon Hill he dearly
loves the cold line Democrats
Dallas Herald: The New York Sun
has been compelled to declare that it
is not booming Holman rs profes-
sional beauty. II is not booming the
old gentleman very extensively for
anything so fur rs the public can see.
Austin Statesman: 1t is thought the
"old line Democrats" who oppose Ben
Butler may safely count on influencing
one vote each to support the Republi-
can nominee. Theirs is the work of
men who think they have been out
ragged by the support OF Butler in their
place. They are simply not AS smart
as Ben, and nobody holding them ac-
countabIe for that. they will be allowed
to move on in solitary dissaiisiac-
ton.

Kansas CITY Times: Mr.. Randall in
an interview states that he is conf
dent of being elected speaker of the
next house. He puts his confidence
against Mr.. Watterson's arithmetic.
Mr.. Randall is scarcely entitled to so
much confidence from the Democrats.
He voted with the Republicans on the

The lost art of hanging has had n
profitable revival Of late-and 1t Is TO
be noted that not one OF the victims
whom It has gathered in has back
sllddcn. Nearly all these cNections
have been for murder, though few of
them were for rape. While this shows
a bad state Of morals, 1t shows an i'm
provement in the laws administra-
ton in the punishment of criminals
and the consequent deterrent action 1t
must have on crime. The reproach OF
lynch law will he removed when peo-
pie can trust TO legal methods for
supressing crime.

Turner County herald. (Hurley, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-19??, 1883-05-24
AT AUCTION,

The selectmen Of an obscure village in
Westphalia proposed to give to the low.
est bidder the privilege of cleaning the
school-house and making the fires for
which the incumbent had hitherto been
granted the round sum Of IL marks per
annum. This year competitor came
forward, and, after repeated rnderbid-
dings, finally offered to do the work free
gratis for nothing. Unwilling to be GUST
ed, the party sin Office" thereupon actu-
ally agreed to pay mark into the village
treasury-nay, went up to 2 marks, but
was in the end overbid by the persistent
oftice-seeker, who offered to pay 2 marks
GO pfennigs for the incalculable privi-
iege of cleaning and making the fires in
the school-house. This example of COM
petition is not. however, without prece-
deut. Many of our readers have prob
ably heard rival hackmen at Niagara, in
dull times, bid each other down to the
falling. off point, and even offer to pay
twenty five cents piece for the honor
OF the visitors company in little jaunt
al out the falls. We have witnessed such
scene, at any rate; but we never heard
OF any one getting the promised reward,
or that any one ever escaped from the
hackman's society without paying tribute
to him in spite of his seductive lures.
