A Puff For Bob Lincoln.
Washington Letter to Philadelphia Times.

WdSullSIOu LeIIeF W Iullduelpnld LINES.
In personal appearance Mr.. Lincoln
is very different from his father. He
is of medium size, compactly built,
and has a large head that is well
placed on pair of broad, muscular
shoulders. He wears a full brown
beard and heavy mustache. His blue
eyes look out from under a broad fore
head and projecting brows. In his
forehead can be traced the likeness to
his father. His manner shows the
culture of city life. He is social in
his tastes, cordial and kindly in his
relations with men, fond of reading
good literature, well posted on Ameri-
can history and very much devoted
to his home and family. The verdict
of stranger, with tolerably good
insight into character, who should be
thrown into his society for an hour or
two, would be: "Here Is man of
strong will, well balanced mind, the
instincts and culture of a gentleman,
and a long training in practical
affairs" 1t should be added that there
is something agreeable in his person
ality, which the French call bonhom-
ME, and for which we in English,
have 10 name which precisely fits.
He makes no pretensions, does every
thing he undertakes well and in a
quiet, undemonstrative way, and is
faithful to all the obligations of life.

Artbur,s Cabinet Mistakes.

Washington Letter to the Chicago Tribune.
Attorney-GeneraI Brewster is living
in rather retired way compared to
his habits in the past. He has given
a few dinners during the winter, but
they have been of the most quiet kind.
He has felt very much the presidents
giving him the cold shoulder, but he
feels that he can not afford to resign
until he has been able to indicate
himself before Springer's committee.
1 should not be at all surprised if he
should come out of that bout in man
ner satisfactory to himself, if he would
afterwards tender his resignation
The president has said in conversation
with his friends that he thinks he has
two weak places in his cabinet, and
that if he should be re-nominated and
reelected there would be at least two
changes that he would make in his
cabinet family. He would have anew
attorney general and a new secretary
of the navy. The president is very
sensitive to newspaper criticisms, and
upon careful reading of all the news
papers of the country he finds that
these two men are the persistent OBJ
jects of a great. amount of legitimate
attack.

Of Broderick dripped from tho hand he ex-
tended to clasp that of the Buffalo hang
man. With treason to his country fester-

before the country he tried to murder to
commend to tia man whose presence In any
decent family would bring scandal and
reproach upon IL. Grover Cleveland is a

Aatonnding RESOLUTIONS.

Phocion, the noted correspondent of tho
Chicago Inter- Ocean, put in the three last
weeks of September in travelling and OBJ
serving the condition Of affairs in Ohio and
the manipulations of tho Democratic lead :
ers in that State. The day before tho cleo
tion he made his report to that paper, from
which report THE CRITIC clips the follow
ing astounding statement:
Every head of family, every active, legltI-
mate, operative coal minor and worker In the
iron ores, every puddler out OF employment In
Ohio for the past three months, every one OF
theeo several classes who has been termed n
striker has drawn regularly week by week tho
same amount OF money ho would have earned
though ho had been at work. There has been
Tor ninety days q fund in ohio regularly dis.
tributed among these striking coal and Iron
workers, portion OF which fund has been
subscrlbed, paid up, and forwarded from I'LL
nole. That fund was intended for two pur-
ana two, to give william II. Bsrnum an excuse
Tor throwing into Ohio expert coal and iron
workers from Old Virginia.
nave before mo dispatch from Staunton
Va) miner askink his brother TO meet him an
Alliance, Ohio, tomorrow. This brother is
coal miner here In Dhnville, and ia a Demo-
crat. He tells mo that the organization he be.
longs 20 has had n written contract with tho
leading Democratic politicians of onio that IL
the miners and puddlers will help carry Ohio
Tor the Democrats In October that the Demo-
Gratis VIII pass an amendment to the miners
act which will prohibit non residents from en-
ghging In any labor or employment previous
TO citizenship.
For several weeks il has been charged
that the Free Trade organizations Of Eng
land have been pouring vast sums of money
into tho country, wherewith the people
were to bo induced to vote to throw down
the barriers between the pauperized labor
of England, and Europe generally, and our
homo market invested from the control of
American capital and labor.
The above revelations prove that these
charges are true. The Democrats of this
country never could and never would have
contributed the vast sums necessary to
carry out such Wholesale scheme of bril-
berry as the above extract shows ioaS carried
out in Ohio, and Republicans must now un.
derstand that they arc fghting-not the
Democratic party alone, but tho enormous
power and capital Of the manufacturing
nabobs Of all Europe. They must not,
therefore, relax their efforts for one
moment, but must brace up for one of the
most terrific struggles this country has ever
seen. British gold is now their foe, and
that in sums that are simply appalling in
their magnitude. The sovereignty of the
Nation has been put up for sale by tho con-
spirators of tho Democratic party, and
British gold is relied upon to purchase it,
The foul scheme must be defeated at every
hazard. Who will dare provo laggard
in such O contest?

The Democrats seem to be determined
to carry Wisconsin If they haze to do it at
the point of the revolver. A Democratic
rounder named "Scotty" shot aud killed F.
a. Burton, president of the La Crosse Blaine
and Logan Club, while forming his club
in pi recession last night. The murderer,
however, did not get off as easily as the bull
dozers Of the South do, for he was promptly
taken out Of jail and hung by the in
furiated Republicans. That is the way to
dispose Of such Internal scoundrels.
