Losan's Grammar.

An old street-car driver in the west
Division of Chicago had been listening
to two men who were ridiculing Logan s
lack of scholarship, until he boiled over
something like this: "Prob1y John
Logan can't talk in er grammarly man,
ner-prob'ly he can't; but let me tell
yer of one time when he did talk; and
it sounded good to everyone that heerd
him, whether grammerly or not, dun
no. We been pelting the Rebs atore
Atlanta, and they pelted us until l
guess we both got tired--l know we
had. My hat had been shot Off, and !
borrowed another from friend OF
mine who had dropped by my side;
Pretty soon they got some guns around
on the left and began whipsaWlng us.
I seen some of our men flying ten foot
in the air, and there wasn't nothing but
Rebs anywhere around. l looked back
for minute to see if there was a way
out, when who'd see a-comin up, fol-
lowed by about 10000 blue coats, but
John Logan. He didn't have no hat
on and he was about fifty yards in front
of the boys and says he to us when he
comes up: Fall back there, boys!
Don't fire no more! Close up and fall
back and give us a chance! We're a
coming for IN, their SOuls!
Now spose that want grammarly, but
an angel right from Heaven couldn't
have sung no sweeter words to me just
then"

Curtis Opinion of Blaine.

Evidence continues to accumulate to
show what an excellent opinion George
William Curtis has always held of MIR.
Blaine. The EXTRAS from Hdrper'S
Weekly in recent years were not solitary
examples, but from the earliest days of
Mr.. Blaine's public career Mr.. Curtis
was always his admirer, unless we are
to disbelieve such testimony as this
from Harper's Weekly of September q,
1871.
Mr.. Speaker Blaine has, in brief let
ter to the Maine Standard, effectually
extinguished the slanderons imputa-
lions that have been put abroad of his
having acquired large fortune by
means of his public position at Wash
ington. His letter, like his recent
speech at Saratoga, is characterized by
vigor and directness that 60 straight
to the mark. Mr.. Speaker Blaine is in
the prime of his powers. Although
only Al years of age, he has had four
years of service in the Legislature OF
Maine 1.-TWO of which as Speaker), and
eight years in Congress, and is now for
the second time Speaker of the House.
But the record he made as editor of the
Kennebec Journal and Portland ADJ
ve,tiser, during several years. editorial
work was quite as distinguished as his
political career. Journalism is his pro-
fession, though it is quite probable that
the talent and vim that have achieved
so much at Al will still retain him in
public life.

Cleveland's Record.

Governor Cleveland's record can be
shortly described. In 1852 he was As
sistant District Attorney of Erie cOun-
ty, n. Y, was drafted for the army
and furnished a substitute. In 1865 he
was candidate for District Attorney
and was defeated. In 1870 and 1871 he
was Sheriff of Erie county and hanged
two Irishmen for murder, swinging
them off with his own hand. He was
elected Mayor of Buffalo. In 1882,
when the Republican party was SER
iously divided he was elected Governor
of New York, because 10000 Republi-
cans voted for him and 100000 Repub-
licans stayed at home. He vetoed a
bill that had passed the Legislature in
the interest of poor men, providing
that they might ride on the elevated
cents trip, instead of 10 cents, which
the monopoly companies charge. Nom
mated for President in 1884, by Dan
Manning's machine, and defeated in
November. That is all. A short horse
is soon curried.

The Worlds Industrial and Cotton
Centennial Exposition is to be held at
New Orleans. opening December l.,
1884, and closing May 81, 1885. The
enterprise is fostered by the general
Government, the city of New Orleans,
and the National Cotton Planters
Association and promises to surpass,
in the number and completeness of it's
exhibits in all departments, all former
International Exhibitions. The de-
mands for space in the buildings and
grounds. for foreign exhibitors and
governments, give that indication.
The United States Government and
the States of the Union are preparing
exhibits of the fullest description.
In the Centennial Exposition at
Philadelphia, Minnesota was scarcely
represented at all. The Legislature,
i'm 1881, with the wisdom of expert
ence, made an appropriation to enable
the State to make showing at a
worlds fair, then expected to be held
in New York in 1888. That eXpecta-
ton was not realized, and the appror
priation is an indication that the
people of Minnesota recognize the er-
ror of 1876 and are determined not to
repeat it; they are of the opinion that
it is time for 81 State of million
people. and four hundred millions of
taxable wealth, to introduce herself
to the world among her sisters for
what she is,
The legislature has not been lii
session since the inception Of New Or
leans Exposition. and has not pro-
vided means for the necessary expen-
ditures, and the State must there's
fore again become under obligations
for advances to those individuals and
associations that have ever been in
the lead in extending her renown and
developing her interests.
The President of the United States
has appointed Hon. Oliver Gibbs, Jr.
of Lake City, Commissioner, and Hon.
Sam. e. Adams, of Minneapolis, Al
ternate Commissioner of the EXPOSE
tion for Minnesota. Mr.. Gibbs has
conferred with the Director General
of the Exposition at Washington, and

The Northwestern Chronicle, the
Catholic organ of MINES ota, is
thoroughly and honestly independ ent
in politics and states it's convictions
with forcible directness which never
fails to convince it's readers Ct the
correctness Ofits position. Following
is what the Chronicle has to say of
Grover CleTeland:
"Grover Cleveland is before the
country as the Democratic candidate
for the presidency, and the fact that
he is the Democratic candidate is his
full and exclusive claim upon Ameri-
can voters. No other claim has he.
He is personally man compa ra-
lively unknown, Of meagre talent,
and of no experience whatever in fed
eral affairs. While Governor he dis
tinguished himself chiefly by favor
ing corporations and monopolies, and
by making strenuous efforts to prevent
the passage in the legislature of a
Liberty of Conscience bill which
would have given Catholic inmates of
the State Institutions the right to
receive spiritual ministrations from
their own clergymen. If elected
President he will go to Washington
for the first time in an official char
acter, totally inexperienced in the
practice of federal affairs, and holding
out to the nation no guarantee that
craftsmanship or scholarly attain
ments will during his incumbency
give strenth or grace to the presiden-
tial Office"

l.. |. BAKER.

The fight with the weeds in the
corn field should not stop with the
cultivator. We have frequently seen
farmers strive manfully againsts the
pests until midsummer, and then,
through negligence, subject them
selves to annoyance through the next
season. Some weeds have limited
season Of growth, and if kept rooted
out until midsummer will rarely
come again; others continue growing
until severe frosts come. An old
Illinois farmer said cockleburr
would come up in the morning, grow
until four in the afternoon, and ma
ture seeds before the frost could kill
it that night. This is an eXaggeration
vet the cockleburr must be fought I'M
tt there are heavy frosts. The velvet
leaf Unison, and rag-weeds, will COM
mence growth almost as late. Weeds
are very prolific, and an occasional
one gone to seed in the cornfeld, will
insurea good crop the next season.
Corn should not be cultivated after it
is tasseled, but the weeds can be cut
out without disturbing the soil. For
this purpose we have seen a short
scythe used, but we much prefer a
sharp edge.-American Agriculturist
for August.

POLITICAL MORSELS.

~John Kelly is chilly, but it is moth:
ing to the shake which Cleveland will
have in November.
~The Democracy have Presiden.
tial ticket composed of swell-head
and a sore toe, which can neither think
Alright nor walk firmly.
HYMr. McLean's junior organ, the
Cincinnati Sun, says: Gen. Villas might
nave had second place, but he was a
soldier in the Union army.
R1It will be sight to make angels
more happy when Thurman and john
ny Mclean put their respective Shout
ders to the Democratic wheel.
@The Cleveland Herald sorrowfully
remarks: "The enthusiasm was for
Thurman-the nomination for Cleve-
land" The majority of the votes in
November will be for Blaine.
~The longer and the more the old
wheel horses of the Democratic party
think about the way they were kicked
out to make room for man without a
record the less they will like it.
@General Butler in his speech said:
II am a free-trader." Watterson in his
comments on Butler said: II am not a
free-trader." This will be more puz-
cling case than the mixed babies in
"PinafOre."
RYThe independent reform nonsense
grows beautifully less every hour.
That it should do otherwise, with the
Democratic ticket and platform in
sight, would argue that reformers were
imbeciles as well as kickers.
RyThe Democrats putt in nomination
two representative men:
Cleveland represents. ............ Monopoly
hendricks represents. ........... DlSlOyalty
The working men will sit down on
the former and the old soldiers will
shoot the head off the latter.
When Mr.. Hendricks got up the
other night and rummaged about the
medical bureau to find the bottle of
democratic soothing syrup, he seems to
have stubbed his sore toe against some
thing about the size of a secretary of

RBGreat confidence is expressed by
well-informed Republican leaders that
West Virginia can be carried for Blaine
and Logan. Mr.. Blaine is personally
very popular in the State, and the work

A German Protest.

That the German-Americans are dis
appointed with the work of the Demo-
cratic Convention appears clearly from
the Chicago Staats-Zeitung comments.
That journal expresses undisguised
disgust with the platform as a whole,
but is especially indignant about the
failure to make good the Democratic
promise of an outspoken condemnation
of the prohibition craze. In the long
and rambling platform room was found
for only one line expressing a mild OPP
position to "sumptuary laws" Mr..
Raster explains that sumptuary laws,
according to Webster, are such "as re-
strain or limit the expenses OF citizens
in apparel, food, furniture, or the like"
and he insists that the words in the
Democratic platform do not 60 to the
issue at all. "What has become" he
asks, "of the proud hopes of the Ger
man-Democrats that this convention
would issue a laundering declaration
of war against the prohibition of all
drinks?" He concludes that the Ger
man sentiment on this subject was ig-
nored by the convention, and he gives
the reason for it. He sa US that the pro-
hibition sentiment of the Southern
States is in the Democratic party, and
the convention declined to put its foot
on the temperance fanatics because it
was afraid of this Southern sentiment.
The Stddts-Zeitonag intimates that a di-
rect promise had been made that the
Democratic Convention would make
some bold utterance on the liquor ques-
ton, and that it's breach of faith will
excite new distrust among the Ger.
man Americans of the good faith OF
the Democratic party. In this matter
the Democrats have pursued the same
course as in their treatment of other
questions and political elements. They
are prolific in their promises, but I'M
concerned about fulfilling them. 1t is
not necessary to decide whether or not
it would have been wise for the Demo-
ocratic National Convention to take
sides on the liquor question, but it was
manifestly blunder for the managers
to hold out promise to the Germans
only to break it. In the same way the
Democrats for years coquetted with the
Greenbackers, then with the Granger
sentiment, and more recently with the
No political ele-
ment can expect fair-d Ealing from them,
no promise they make can be trusted.
Fortunately it has not taken the Ger
man-Americans very long to discover
this.
