The blue fishing season this year is
unrivalled. For some reason or 9TH
er, the fish this year are mor pienti-
full, are better in quality and bite more
freely than they have for years. AS
q result parties going out along Sandy
Hook have excellent sport, and the
prices asked for this esculent fish in
the markets are SO very low. In fact
this is about the only finely favored
fish at present which is not too great
a luxury to eat.

a few minutes to have q look at the
burial plot for friendless seamen. 1t
is q pretty spot. Composed of a bit
of rising ground, the apex of which is
crowned by a number of tall leafy
trees, it resembles very much a well
kept lawn. No tombstones tell of the
dead that lie buried beneath the sward
which g%litters in the sunlight. But
around the edges of tho little hill
small marble slabs divide off into Sec
tons and tell to what nationalities the
different sailors belonged. The ploI
was purchased by the Seamen's Friend
Society, and at present contains abou'
two thousand bodies. 1t is a sadly
suggestive spot to visit when one is
in the humor of it.. JOHN.

Tho Now York deilv Sam IF the

The New York daily San of the
10th inst, is largely occupied with
a remarkable story of Jul Republi-
can politics for the last four years as
it exists in the recollections and the
records of Stephen W. Dorsey and
his friends. 1t lays wide open the
secret history of the Republican Pre-
sidential canvass of 1880, and how
Ohio and Indiana was carried by the
remittance Of $15O,OO0 from Jay
Gould, and $4,000 from Brady,
Dorsey's partner. The story is q
terrible smirch on the character of
the murdered President Garfield, and
as the Sun remarks, it is probably
happy for his memory that he died
before the bitter day of accounting
and exposure came, for over much
that might have sunk the living mar
in obloquy, death has cast the de
cent shroud of silence and mercy.
The planning and fighting leader o:
the whole campaign was the stal
route captain; and the sinews of wal
were largely represented by the mo
ney that had literally been stoler
from the people. Among the charg
es contained in the narrative is Cd,
TO the effect that Gould was placatet
by the promise of an appointment t.
the Supreme bench of a party hos
tile to the Thurman act! The sig
nificance Of the Suns publication i
that it once more unmasks the Re
publican party and shows it up t.
the country in all its naked defor
nifty.

The frauds in the marriage en-
dowment business Of Iowa are pro-
ducing their effect in the collapse of
the associations, one after another.
The moment that the disclosures in
the Cedar Rapids affair undermined
public confidence the only ground
these societies had to stand upon
was cut away. The Oskalocsa as
ISOLATION has just wound up its bust
ness. The victims Of these mar
riage speculations, like those of
Ohio, should rather rejoice thar be
angry at the swiftness with which
they have ended their careers 1t
is certainly better to lose the small
amounts already paid in than to
have the business collapse after
many years, when the losses to the
contributing members would be
heavy.

Ex-senator Wallace, of Pennsyl-
van:a, is said to aspire to the next
Democratic nomination to the Presi-
dency. During the time that he has
been in private life he has carefully
rebuilt his fortune and is now
thought to be worth $3,000,0 900. He
has also cemented and strengthened
his influence with his party. He
has supported Governor Pattison on
ly 50 far as it serves his own pur
poses, and has let it be known dis
tinctly that he did not intend to be
overshadowed by any upstart lead
ers of the Democratic party. 1t has
been remarked that his influence
with the Democratic members of the
Legislature is much greater than
Pattison's. Mr.. Wallace's plans have
been quietly but shrewdly laid, and
whoever imagines that the ex-Sena
tor is dead, politically, may find out
his mistake when it is too late.

The old style of campaigning by
joint debate is coming into use again.
The two candidates for Governor in
Kentucky are stumping the state to-
gether and creating much diversion
for the people whether they are max
ing any votes or not. The Republi-
a and Democratic nominees for tie
Iowa Governorship are also making
preparations for joint discussions Of
the issues of the This will
add new zest to a campaign which
already promises to be more than
ordinarily interesting. The two par
ties are clearly antagonized on two
issues-prohibition and the tariff
The Republicans stand squarely for
a prohibition of the manufacture and
sale of Intoxicating liquors and for
protection TO American industries,
while the Democrates are against
both. A joint discussion will pre-
vent any lodging on either side.

The New York Herald gives list
of disasters causing loss Of life which
have been chronicled in it's columns
the first six months of1SS3. Though
mono are included in the list unless
rs many as three lives we're lost the
number reaches the enormous total
of 5000, 1t makes up q CHASTITY re
cord of death in almost every &C
countable form of violence, by fire,
lightning, explosions, panics, land
slides, storms at sea and on land ca
lamities of every kind. The sinking
of the steamer Cimbria, January
21st, with the loss of 5J3 lives, heads
the list in point of number. The
burning of a circus building Junu-
airy 18th, in Russia Poland, resulted
in q loss of 270, the April floods in
the Southern States $50 lives, the
Sunderland panic last month 197
and sc down through the list. The
Herald truly states in view of this
record that "thus far 1888 has been
a year of unparalleled cruelty."N

A writer in the last weeks Regis-
ter seems to be sweating himself
about the new Democracy. Ofcourse
IT'S the old Democracy lie has a pro-
found love for, and feels so bad that
a regular old anti-war, southern SYM
pathizing, "buttc-nut" mossback was
not nominated for Governor. No
doubt he would have supported one
of that stripe. Here is another vote
lost to the Democracy, which added
to young Thurman's will reduce
Hoadly's majority down to 19,998!

The Toledo Bee says that if Han
cock had been elected President eve
ry idle mill and every person thrown
out of employment would have been
attributed to that fact. Next year
the Republican politicians will un-
doubtedly declare that all the idle
ness of the past four years has been
occasioned by fear that the Demo
Gratis were coming into power. AS
a monumental prevaricator the scar
ed Republican politicians takes the
cake.
