SENATOR CAMERON.
Probability that He Will Permanently Re-
tire from Politics.

Washington Special.
A correspondent in talking with intimate
friends of Senator Don Cameron, learned
that it is very doubtful if he will ever ap-
pear in the political arena again. His official
career has been a constant drain upon his
health, his purse and his temper, and he has
about made up his mind to enter private life
for good. After undergoing severe surgical
operation he rented his fine residence here
to the Hon. W. d. Washburn of Minnesota,
for two years, at an annual rental of Sc, 600,
and, with his family, started for Europe. His
wife is also in bad health, and it is Senator
Cameron's intention to keep his family
abroad for at least two or three years,
with the view of educating his
children there, one of whom suf-
fers from hip disease If the Senator
himself gains the benefit from foreign travel
that he expects he will not return to take
his seat at the next session of Congress. Sew
eral of his friends on the Democratic side
agreed to pair with him in that case for the
remainder of his term, which expires March
4, 1885. He will probably be paired with
his warm friend Senator Butler, of South
CarOlina

Seeking Mr.. HoIman,s scaln.

Aurora Letter in Cincinnati News journal.
Candidates for Judge Holman's congress
sional shoes are spriaging up all over the
district. This district is largely Democratic,
and nomination is equivalent to an cleo
ton, and consequently there is always hard
fight for the nomination. All of the aspi-
rants think that twenty years of congress
sional life is sufficient for one man, and that
Judge Holman must aspire to the governor
ship or senatorship or step down and sat.
This is little agreement the candidates have
between themselves, but whether they will
get the people to look at it in this light is
another question. Some of these envious
candidates say that any one can go to
Congress and do all that Holman
and say II object" but the question
will. Among those who are seeking Hol-
mans place are Judge Cravens, of Jefferson;
DR.. Woollen, of Switzerland; Hon. H. d. Me-
Mullen, of Dearborn; Colonel Scobey, of
Decatur; Judge o. F, Roberts. of Dearborn;
DIR. Riley, of Decatur; Colonel f. r. Dorman,
of Dearborn, and r. Chestuer Faulkner of
Ripley. Each and every one of them is now
willing that any one of the others should
get the nomination, but it will probably
result this time as it always has heretofore
when the time comes each will be so anxious
for it that they will be unable to decide
which one shall have it, and it will go to
Holman. All of the parties are friendly to
Judge Holman, and would willingly help
him either to be Governor or senators, but
If he can't go up he must go down.

WASHINGTON, June 7.-Senator Van Wyck,
of Nebraska, has written a letter to the
Postmaster-general, protesting against the
establishment OF daily mail from Fort Mo
brara to Deadwood, D. T., on the ground
that the population of the country through
which the route passes is sparse, and the
business does not exceed $3.50 quarterly,
while the expense would be about $13 900 per
annum. The Senator asserts that the same
consideration to the remaining population
of Nebraska would bankrupt the Treasury in
year, and that the line was established
almost exclusively in the interest and for the
benefit of the railroad John R. Miner, one
of the defendants in the star-route trial, is
the contractor for the route.

A Scene In School.

Two boys were in a school-room alone
together, when some fireworks, contrary to
the masters express prohibition, exploded.
One boy denied it; the other, Ben Christie,
would neither admit nor deny it, and was
severely logged for his obstnacy. When
the boys got alone again, why didn't you
deny it 7" asked the offel der.
" Because there were only we two, and
one of us must have lied," said Ben.
"Then why did you not say | did 1t Z"
because you said you didn't, and would
spare the liar"
The boys heart melted Ben's moral gal
lantry subdued him.
When school reassembled the young cul-
prit marched up TO the masters desk and
said Please, sir, can't bear to be a liar.

The masters eye glistened on the self
accuser, and the undeserved punishment
he had inflicted on the other boy were Joined
in the confession, the master walked down
to where young Christie sat, and said aloud
Ben, Ben, lad, he aud beg your pardon
we were both to blamei'
The school was hushed and still, as older
scholars are apt TO be when something true
and noble is being done so still they might
almost have heard Ben's big boy tears drop
ping on his book, as he sat enjoying the
moral triumph which subdued himself at
well as the rest. And when, from want OF
anything else to say, he gently cried

scholars filled the old mani eyes with some
thing behind his spectacles, which made
him wipe them before he sat down again

Making Public Sentiment.

In recent sermon delivered in the Union
Park Congregational church, DR.. +. A. No
BILE had this to say on the subject of the
temperance reform: waiting for the
public sentiment What kind Of an atti-
tude is that for true earnest man to take
in the presence of needed moral reform
Paul did not wait for public sentiment TO
support him in preaching the gospel; he
went to work and made public sentiment
Richard Cobben did not wait for public sem
timent to be well defined and clamorous be-
fore he began his agitation for corn law re-
peal he set out solitary and alone, and win
ming John Bright and few other able men
to his side, he traversed the land, planning,
speaking, agitating. He created public
sentiment before which Sir Robert Peel and
the whole Tory party were only as so much
chaff before the wind. Bismarck did not
wait for public sentiment to push him to
the task of unifying and solidifying Ger
many ; he pushed the people, and brought
them to his own mind. The heroic Cara
baldi did not wait; he saw clearly what
ought to be done to redeem Italy from the
thralldom of the pope. and make it nation
amongst nations and he threw himself into
the breach and led the way to victory. The
dead Gambetts did not wait; he took the
people in their hour of despair and trained
them into hope; when they were in coDfu-
sion and organized them when parties
were plotting and dethroned dynasties were
scheming for reinstatement, and made
France republic. Neal Dow did not wait
for public sentiment to support him in his
demand for prohibition. Month after month,
year after year, he and his faithful CO.
workers wrought at the busineas of making
public sentiment and they did it. Public
sentiment does not make itself. Public
sentiment does not move forward of itself.
When there is a vigorous public sentiment
on any question of morals, it is because
somebody has taken an advanced position,
and educated and drawn the people up to it.
If all who think and even say it would be a
good thing to close liquor saloons, and to
put out the fires in these distilleres and
breweries, ard to stay the vast waste of
strength and thought and time and money,
and homes and hopes and lives, would only
say it without any "ifs," and sands" and
"buts," and having said it would stand by
it, public sentiment on this liquor business
would swell and press on like an incoming
tide, and in little while there would be
laws looking to the suppression of this evil
which would have in them the force of the
right hand of God. Meantime let no man
or woman lose heart, for in spite Of back
setting eddies here and there, and stagnant
basins, the great stream Of temperance sen
timent and conviction and purpose moves
steadily toward"

Congress should at once take some meas

wholly prevent, the adulteration of food.
Our national Legislators began TO look into
the matter, but have, az yet, got no farther
than tea and sugar Perhaps they found
enough either to discourage them or TO EN-.

tion showed that our teas are often nothing
but damaged leaves, and most of our sugar

locations were ascertained of sixty-three

oil analysed, nine proved TO be adulterated.
Lard was found to be adulterated and in
some cases unwholesome. OF 280 samples
of bakers chemicals and breadstuffs exam

samples of flour. In the matter OF spices
the proportion of adulterated articles was

There were 29 samples of quinine pills ex
