chemically addicted to grumbling
about his own town and its people can
do more damage to town in one month

largely upon the united efforts Of its
citizens to push it on. A newspaper

Davis. he will resign the Office Of Pres
i6ent Of the Senate pro tempore at

information from President Arthur that
he does not intend to convene the Sem

ocratic Senators will offer no opposi-
ton 10 the prompt election Of Repub.
lican Senator as President pro tempore.
Anthony, who filled this position from
1869 to 1873. and who was the choice
of the Republican caucas in 1874. will
not be eligible for election to hold the
place during the coming recess, as his
present term will explre with the legis-
lative day of March 3, and he cannot
be sworn in again until the next meet
ing of the Senate. Although no eau
cas- action has yet been taken on the
subject, the indications are that Mr..

followed up with usury at home and

To give your word, however, and not
