STRAWS

AT a recent meeting of New Yorl
independents and disaffected Massa.
chusetts Republicans held in New
York City, Carl Schurz offered til,
following resolution, which was
unanimously adopted: "That it il
u conviction the country will be
better served by opposing tho nomi-
nation OF Blaine and Logan than bv
supporting Them"
"Put me down one hundred times
in letters two feet long. all the time.
against the Nominations" ex-Gov-
ernor Chamberlain, of South Caro-
lima, wrote. This is a crisis with>
out an equal since the civil war. The
very basis of our civil society ia
threatened by the canvass of such q
man as Blame, and I would vote for
any good Democrat before him, IT,
order to preserve the political moral
lty of the nation" George w. Cur
lis then adjourned the conference BY
laying: 1T must be q long pull, it
mould be q strong pull and it will be
pull altogether 10 this fight, aud the
light will prevail" These are stravs
which show how the wind blows

ance which cannot fail to produce

lost sanguine adherents.

SANDERS.

The Nation, in q vein of cutting
irony, says the opponents Of Mr..
Blaine ought In common decency to
refrain from %inventing lies about
him. Take what they call the "Mul-
ligan" letters, for instance, which
they say Blaine wrote. It is hardly
to be believed, of course, but it is
none the less true-there are no
such letters. There is no such man
as Mulligan all fiction, we assure
you; perfectly disgraceful!
This is not the first time Mr..
Blaine has suffered in this way either.
In 1876 q number of charges were
made against him. They were all
false-not q word of truth In them.
Why were they made then? Simply
because some ''rebel brigadiers"
wanted to injure him. These men,
smarting under the numerous de-
feats that Blaine had inflicted on them
the war, when he command
ed the famous Blaine division on 30
many bloody fields, Just set down
and concocted q lot of stories about
railroads and things and fastened
them to him. And yet people talk
about Southern chivalIy. Here was
, man who had sent them flying
he met them all over
Virginia and Georgia-and when
peace came, instead Of letting BY
zones be bygones, they began to try
o lay him low with the poisoned ar
'ow of detractlon, after having tried
heir shot and shell on him in vain.

NEW ORLEANS EXPOSE TON.

Not long since Director General
Burke of the Worlds Industrial and
Cotton Centennial Exposition, in
formed the Hon. w. A. Clark. one of
Montana's commissioners to the ex-
position, that the space already re-
served upon application Of different
governments exceeds the space occu-
pied by the centennial exposition at
Philadelphia. This fact may be re-
garded as conclusive evidence that
the exposition will be the largest,
most varied and complete of any
which has heretofore been held in
the world. Preparations for an ex-
haustive display of the various pro-
ducts of the soil of every land and for
an exhibit of every article used in do
nestle and foreign manufactures are
being made upon the most magniti>
cent scale.
C ,ngress has come forward with a
loan OF 81, 200, 900 to the exposition
committee. New Orleans alone has
appropriated $1,000. COO toward the
enterprise, and Mexico freely gives
$500, 600 for the same purpose. Con-
gress has also made an appropriation
for the purpose of making a govern
ment exhibit from the several de-
partments, including the Navy and
War, and from the Patent office and
Agricultural bureau.

who are working from year to gear

open to them for getting fertile land
in the great west at no other cost than

in the nature of things this opportu-

absorb all the arabic government

The possession of land brings with
it a feeling of independence and con-
tentment which only those who are
their own masters can experience.

the settlers life is one of loneliness
and hardship, but in these days Of
