tune out of his own journalistic imagination,
and that to the best of his belief Mr.. Lincoln
was clothed in his customary habiliments.
Howard was in Harrisburg at the time the
presidential party arrived at that city with the
intention of accompanying it to the capital
After the quiet departure of the President on
special train, he was informed of the fact by
secretservice detectives, who were in the secret,
and promptly wrote up the great sensation for
the New York paper with which he was con-
nected In celebrating the affair it seemed to
him the proper thing that Mr.. Lincoln should
be disguised, and as a Scotch cap and military
cloak were the articles most unlikely to be worn
by him at ordinary times they were selected by
Howard as being entirely suitable on this occa-
sion Hence they went into his dispatches, and
later, into history.

thing. Nevertheless, the immacu
late gentlemen who propose to re-
form this great Republic were mean
enough to represent Mr.. Blaine as armed with
a musket, and, rising behind a breastwork of
bags labeled ''$ " ready to shoot any man APP
preaching Goulds interests. George William
Curtis must have known the report concern
ing Senator Edmunds was false when he
ordered the cartoon prepared. At any rate,
he knows so now. Will he make the amende
honorable? In later number there is an
Infamous cartoon representing Blaine as the
Boss Tweed of to-day. This wanton insult
to man popular among the people will be
resented in November, and Harper's Weekly
this desperate, disreputable disgraceful,
lying, infamous journal of civilization
will be the loser in the esteem of all fair
minded and honorable men.

THE drummer who was arrested in Pittsturg
for having attempted to kiss a hotel chamber
maid, was unable to get bail and spent two days
in Jail The grand jury, under the impression
that he had been punished enough, ignored the
charge and he is now at liberty He is mad for
several reasons one being that the girl on
whose account he has suffered, is ugly as SIM and
another that, after ALL he failed to get the kiss.
He says he does not regard himself as guilty of
any henious offense, and appeals to public
opinion !the true arbter of impartial justice for
his yindication.

e. I.ay is not dangerous.

THE latest attempt to defraud the public by
the Democratic managers in this State was to
issue circular, the title-page Of which bears
a wood-cut likeness of Blaine and Logan, sub
scribed with the Republican legend; "The
business and laboring interests of the coun-
try must be protected" The pamphlet is
made up from excerpts from the daily press
intended to prove widespread depression Of
business and manufactures. This petty swim
die will defeat itself; nor will those who read
it fail to recall that the hostile attitude of the
Democratic party in Congress, more than any
thing else, is responsible for much of the
depression of trade. Only last May 152 Dem
ocrats voted to take the first step toward adj
hitting British workingmen to an equal foot
ing with those of America in the American
market The Morrison bill was bill for the
horizontal reduction of wages.

DURING 1883 no less than !, 1881, 900 gallons
of malt liquor were imported. Suppose the
Democratic free trade policy should obtain;
the duty on ale, porter, beer ETC., would be
removed and the imports Of these liquors
would be very greatly increased. Who would
be benefited Temperance peopleG They do
lot think so. Brewers2 No. On the con-

TWENTY EIGHT years ago the Democratic
party resolved in its national platform that
''the time has come for the people of the
United States to declare themselves in favor
of progressive free trade" The
Morrison bill was drawn and voted for by 152
Democrats with this end in view, and Mr..
Dorsheiner said sit was the first firm step to-

THE valiant Colonel Gray who resigned
his commission rather than to go where any
fighting was to be done, ventured to call some
body liar in a public speech and staid in
town several hours to intimidate some poor
fellow who had said something about him.
Phewi What a doughty hero our five-months
veteran has become! Now, the whole "war
record" of the gallant Colonel can be summed
up in the statement that printing-pre was
thrown into the Ohio river and stores broken
open and pillaged. The Colonels ''brevets"
consist of indictments found against him
which have never been tried. TIE read the

BELvA LOCKWOOD doesn't mean to have any
scandals circulated about her if she can head
them off To this end she has written to Gov
ernor Cleveland, submitting plan whereby,
she says American politics may be elevated
from its present low level. The plan she pro-
poses is that the various presidential candidates
agree to meet together at some central point in
the early part of next month and each candidate
sign an agreement to discountenance and to use
his influence to prevent the publication of scan
dalous articles against any of the other candi-
dates. Belva has written to tho wrong person.
Since the Democratic papers circulated naughty
stories about their own candidate, he and his
friends have shown a disposition to tar all oppo-
nents with the same stick Mrs. Lockwood may
consider herself lucky if she is not accused by
the Sentinel or other reform" organs of having
several living husbands, with probability that
others have been feloniously put out of the way.

THE Hon. John E. Lamb, in his speech
here, on Monday night of last week, said, in
reference to the Mexican pension bill, that
the bill was killed in the Senate that it was
so badly ridden with amendments that its
daddy could not recognize it, and that he
voted for it as amended, regarding half loaf
as better than no loaf at all. Will you please
state in the journal of tomorrow by whom
the bill was originated, and give the vote of
representatives and Senate (the figures or
numbers) before and after the amendments
Did Mr.. Lamb vote for the bill as amended
WAvELAND, Ind. ENQUIRER.
The sixth section of the Mexican pension
bill, as passed by the House, repealed section
47l6 Of the Revised Statutes, so as to allow
ex-rebel soldiers to receive pensions. Mr..
Lamb is on record as voting for that repeal.
The bill then went to the Senate, where it
was amended in such manner as to pension
those Union soldiers of our own war who are,
or shall hereafter become, disabled, at q rate
proportionate to the degree of disability $24
a month being given to those who are totally
incapacitated to perform any manual la
Dor. 1t also increased the pensions
of widows and minor children to $12 per
month, and added other clauses for the relief
of dependent pensioners. These amendments
were agreed to by vote of 81 yeas to 81
nays, every affirmative vote being cast by a
Republican and the nays solidly by the Dem
ocratic members. The same twenty-seven
Democrats refused to strike out the section
extending pensions to ex-rebel soldiers. The
bill was then returned to the House, where,
by flibustering on the part of Democrats, it
was allowed to die because the Republican
Senate would not consent to allow ex-rebel
soldiers to be pensioned Mr.. Lamb is on
record as having voted for the consideration
of the bill twice when the Republicans tried
to get it before the House, and the third time
he is recorded as not voting at all.
