must be Joined the highest grade of abb
lily. An expounder of the constitution
whose views carry with them conf
denc, and conviction; man whose
life has been devoted not to personal
ACKNOWLEDGMENT, but to the welfare OF
the country; no anxious seeker for
place, but patriot whose first ambi
ton is to serve with answering fideli-
ty all public interests committed to his
charge sound on all the great issues OF
the day; believer in the reform OF
the administrative departments of the
government; an economist by practice
and conviction a staunch believer in
the protection of American industry

is in earnest sympathy with the prog
ress and purposes of the century such
is the man who must be selected 10
order properly to voice the hopes, the
demands and aspirations of the en-
| lightened voters of the country. There
may be many public men who can
meet these requirements. There is
one name which springs to every lip
as more than all other the impersona.
ton of these high attributes. George
f. Edmunds of tVermont is the man
who embodies them all in himself. II
the Republican national convention
shall place him at the head of its ticket,
the country will ratify the choice with
spontaneous enthusiasm, and his cleo
ton will give to this government a
chief magistrate worthy of the best
traditions of the Republic.

burning of the Newhall House. The
fire broke out early in the morning,
while the guests slept. The hotel was
q mere shell, six stories in height, and
had long been considered death-trap.

greatest confusion prevailed. Some
were cut of from escape and persisted
in the burning structure, while Others
in their terror jumped from the upper
stories to the ground and were killed

II The too common practice OF CIV

in Philadelphia. The sheriff of that
city, on retiring from flee, published
an address, signed by a large number
of the most prominent citizens, includ.
ing two or three hundred lawyers
The address certifies to the persona
"urbanity, courtesy and kindness"
the ex-official, and declares that hi {
"conduct as sheriff has been equally
above reprOach." The Philadelphia
Times, however, says, sit must have
been known IT, every one OF these emf

abuses of the sheriff's office, which
has been scandal and crime against
this community for many years, Mr.
TAYLOR did nothing to REFORM" that
he farmed out the plumber of the office
and swindled the county generally
This is by no means an exceptional
case. Men of responsibility, whose
opinions are worthy of consideration
not infrequently endorse the characters
of those whom they ought to know
do not merit endorsement. 1t costs
