TIE report sent out from Harrisburg,
that the Independents and Stalwarts will
ioin hands in the state Senate to make
an unfair and gerrymandering appor-
tionment bill, has no foundation except
in the intimated purpose of the Inde-
pendents to propose a compromise be-

which will give the latter much less than
the impudent demand of Cooper and his
fellows, and which may be acceptable to

THAT crime, like other phases of history,

HILARIOUS qualification must be stamped
upon every feature of the impecunious in

wine vaults of London, where it is said the
fumes from the stored vintages immedi

without being beforehand fortified inter

WHEN London reads the gushing crit
lcism of the New York Herald on Ian
gtry's first appearance as Gaiatea in tn
