Jay Eye See will attempt to BET
the 2:002 record of Maud s., the 15t
inst.
Logan was called into the counc
of the Republican National Com
mittee to discuss the plan of the can
paiRn. Where was Elkins?
If one were to believe Logan b
would come to the conclusion tn
Illinois Senator did all the .fightin,
during the late rebellion.
The anri-Monop0lists are nov
hunting a candidate for Vice~Presi'
dent. Their national convention
will meet at Chicago, the 18th inst.
for the purpose of selecting one.
Cleveland, Hendricks and Blaine
were all school teachers in theil
younger days. Arthur, also, was
once q school teacher. Here is en-
enlargement to struggling peda-
gogues.
1t now looks like war between
France and China, but the latter is
only playing q game of bluff with
the former. In the end China will
accede to the demands of France.
She cannot cope successfully with
French cannon and French soldiers,
and she knows it.
General Gordon will be relieved by
m English expedition. if it reach
him before the forces of the Mahdi
take him dead or alive" A credit
Of 100000 is voted by the House of
Commons, but it will take some time
before help car reach the environed
little army of Gordon.
World: The New York Eu0ngelist
says that when Blaine was in the
speakers chair he "held the House
in his hand az completely as ever did
Henry Clay" Yes; but he held it
also in his breeches pocket, which is
something an honest man like Henry
Clay never did.
If the suggestions of DR.. Paaron,
state veterinarian of Illinois, con-
corning the quarantining of cattle in
states and territories infected with
Texas fever, Montana, Wyoming and
Colorado will be called upon to fur
nish beef for the Chicago market for
some time to come. And the result
would be- q still further advance in
the price of cattle in the latter named
state and territories.
The great Keifer is straining every
effort to secure a denomination for
congress. He has started a newspaper
ir his own interest in his district and
writes his own eulogies. The gem
eral impression is that this will de.
feat him. He has n chance how |
ever. He announces that ii unsuc
cessful he will practise law. In order |
to avert such a calamity to the pro-
the lawyers are said to he
rallying to Keifer's support.
The speeches of John Bright and
Mr.. Chamberlain at Birmingham
lay before yesterday, show to what
Democratic ideas have reached
IN England. These bold orators de-
MED the divine right of kings, and
ridiculed the pretensions of the So
,alled nobility. In fact they talked
ust as q liberty-)oving citizen of this
would. The desire for politi-
,al emancipation and for self-govern.
nent is becoming a marked feature
the English character. The people
IRE fast nearing that point where
hey will demand a republican form
# government.
Although it is now evident that
DR.. Blaine's managers propose to
make this . grossly personal CAM
align, or in other words, a mud cam
align; still it is rather amusing to
ee Republican organs fishing up
old anti-war speeches of
and quoting treason
BILE" u%tterances therefrom. Mr..
ran for Vice>President in
e76. His speeches were tolerably
'ell threshed over at that time.
md yet he received q large majority
the popular vote. He was elected. ]
he country Is eight years further !
way from the war than it is was
hen Mr.. Hendricks was elected !
ice-President the last time. {
Mr.. Henry NJ. Stanley's opinion of
General GordOn's facilities of escape
ON Khartoum is worthy of respect G
, regards the routes by which it !
be effected, tut he knows as (
tile as many others how these g
may be effected. Gordon's I
,te depends to q greater extent 9
pom the Mahdi in the neighborhood d
: Khartoum than upon anything r
SO. In almost any event he will q
we to fight his way out, and SO his Il
fety must be decided by the wage r
battle. The only thing that seems q
rtsir now in regard to Gordon is Il
at . long delayed attempt will be i,
