the best to be selected from the list of
musical productions and though of CON
siderable length. was rapidly disposed
OF, the formality of lowering and raising
the curtain being dispensed with. In
addition to the vocal selections there
were several skillful exhibitions of bell
ringing. As an example Of dramatic

80 tn sEaCO1sT DEFENsEs.

The Chicago Tribune is very severe on the
Democratic majority in congress for its OPP
position to an appropriation for coast de-
fenses. 1t says that the neglect OF our coast
defenses is one of the most shameful omis-
sions of congress. 1t has encouraged third
and fourth rate powers to assume an ag-
gressive attitude towards the United States,
and the threat that single war vessel of
Chill could lombard San Francisco, or
German irouclad could shell and burn New
York was freely made when complications
with these nations were regarded as possible.
The Republican party has had possession
of the government for nearly quarter of a
century. Eighteen years of that period have
been period of profound peace as between
the states Why is it that during this time
there has been nothing done in the matter
of providing these essential seaeoast defen-
cess The Republican party had the power,
the money, absolute control of everything
and tremendous majority behind it most of
the time which was of kind that would en-
dorse everything however unwise or unuec-
essary which the administration felt called
on to do. During this period did anybody
hear from any Republican source the thrill
ling CRY for ships and defences which is now
going up from the organs of that
party, all over the landl There was not
even a peep. The party had other uses for
money. What those uses were it is not
necessary to detail Suffice it that there is
not Republican representative, or senator,
or considerable official, who is not worth to-
day many times the total of all the salary
which he has received during his official life;
and this is true in connection with the fur
ther fact that majority of all these men
have spent more than their salaries in cleo
ton expenses and the cost of living.
Now, there is small majority of Demo-
Gratis in one of the congressional houses, and
there is 8 tremendous onslsught on them be-
cause they do not proceed at once to do what,
if it should be done at sll, should have
long since been begun aud completed By the
Republicans. II we need seacoast fortiica-
tons we needed them ten years ago Why
were they not then built How does it hap
pen that just as the Republican majority
is lost in congress there is such a
pressing necessity for navy and fortiaca-

ONE OFsHERNAY,S JOBS.

When any jobbery on the Treasury is to be
| effected John Sherman is a handy man to
have in the Republican family. He has just
succeeded in tucking into the civil service
appropriation blu an item of $4,000 to pay
for painting termed the electoral Com
mission" This small steal has been knock
ing at the doors of congress for some time.
1t has been smuggled into appropriation bills
before. Sherman and Garfield worked to-
gether on the job, but they always failed,
though Sherman has saudwiched it in SEN
ate bill before, but the house has always been
too vigilant to permit the steal. As things
have been going on at Washington the steal
is not a very large one, though there is not
member of congress who
would individually pay 5000 for the
wretched daub. At the best it is not a truth
full picture. 1t processes to represent the trial
of the Louisiana case before the commits
sion. 1t effects to represent the presence Of
people who were not attendants upon the
scene. 1t offers the faces of men and wo-
men in the correspondents gallery who were
never there in their lives, and other faces
were put in as n means of fattery to secure
influence to procure the purchase of the pic
ture at high price. A Washington letter
gives the following strange history of the
painting:
II WAS painted by the wife of keeper of pho
tograph gallery here. After 1t was completed
the government declined to purchase it; the
photographer borrowed money on it 10 pay the
rent on his gallery, promising to keep the paint
ing there as a security The money was ad-

wards the husband of the lsndtady was lmpli-
Gated in a series of swindles and forgeries in
connection with the failures of the German
American bank here, Of which he was an officer.
lie is Still under dozen indictments in con-
uection with the bank failare. The land
lady ran out OF cash, and was about seiz-
ing the painting by the regular
legal process, the money advanced on the paint
ing and the rent of the gallery or studio not hsy-
ing been paid, when she discovered that .'elec-
toral commission" has been spirited out of the
wRy. The whereabouts of il remained q secret
for couple of years. and appears that it is now
here by an arrangement between the landlady
aud the artist. The iSndlsdy is to be paid her
money IL congress buys the painting. The ar
tist has given herself the most prominent place
in the picture, between Blaine, Jere Black
and William NJ. Evarts. She was never present
at . session Of the commission.
II Is exceedingly ulscEeuItaple 70 Senator
Sherman to lend himself to this transaction.
1t would be q disgrace to the national capi-

CURRENT COMMENT.

A CASE came up III the United States District
court at Philadelphia where party was charged
with stealing from designated depository of
the United States,'' the offense being the steal
ing of package of cloth, enclosed in news
paper wrapper, and addressed H. M. Marks q
Co., Chicago, Illinois, and left on the top of u
letter box because the opening of the receptacle
was too small to allow it to be put inside. A
man named Retzs seen to take the package
and conceal it in his hat. The defense was that
the taking of article lefton the top of street
mail box does not constitute stealing from the
mails. Judge Butler sustained that view He
said: ''The top of a letter box cannot be pre-
sumed to be designated depository of the
United States. Merchants and others should
know that unless letters and other articles are
put inside the box they are not posted Beitzs
was discharged.

WE'LL DONE.

The Swift County Press, in its issue of
July 2, announces that it has decided to
raise the Democratic banner. The editor
says that ''Ths is aot sudden resolve, but is
the result of mature deliberation, and an I'M
alterable resolve to do as near as we can to
what we believe to be right, as well in poll
tics as in other matters. We believe that
the Democratic party is honestly striving to
perfect platform and principles which shall
rebound to the greatest good to the greatest
number" Of the other party he says:
The Republican party is (self styled) the party
of progress. The spirit of progression seems to
trend in one channel entirely-to create as many
and as rich spoils as possible, and then, under
the guise of specious promises, in the shape of
plausible platforms, inaugurate grand grab for
those spoils This has continued until all the
professional pap suckers and office seeking par
asites are massed within the ranks of the party
Such men can not from their very nature favor
prominent and lasting reforms.
The stand taken by the Press is right and
manly. 1t is brave and righteous. The over
throw of the Republican party is demanded
by every consideration that seeks for good
government honesty and economy in public
affairs. The people are looking to the Dem
oeratic party to bring about this political re-
volution, and snatch the great Republic from
the corrupt rule that has encased it for
twenty years. The action taken by the Press
is to be highly commended, and
there is a positive knowledge that many 9th
ers are inclning to the same step. The
tyranny fthe dominant party is irksome,
and il is a hoDeful and welcome sion of the
times when men and journals are coming
forward and repudiating its hateful and cor
rupt shackles. The days of Republican in
timidation are fast drawing to close, and
better days are dawning before the Republic
Let all who love honesty, who desire reform,
who esteem public purity and private integ-
rity, follow the example of the Press, and in
time, Minnesota, even, may be redeemed
from the domination of the spoilers.

banks a statement and turned over to them

Mn. BLAINE's man Ramsdell is bowling
furious over the matter that Puck has intro
duced Gail Hamilton into its political car
toons. 1t doesn't count that Cousin Gail is
as much Of politician as Mr.. Blaine or any
other man, and that no American man or
woman has gone to the length that she has
as a political satirlst or Caricaturist. Her
series Of satires published in the New York
Tribune after Blaineis signal failure in 1876
have never been surpassed or equaled by the
n-dipped-in-vinegar of any political writer
IN this country. Her diatribes on the
principal men of the Republican party; her
savage exposure of their dilinqueucies and
inconsistencies was the amuuition with which
Blaine sought to slay his enemies and pre-
pare the way for his campaign of 1880.
rousin Gail mercilessly ridieuled civil ser
vice reform and its advocates and all the
Blaine crowd applauded and reioiced. She
q as much public property as Mr.. Blaine; is
more masculine in her habit Of mind than
most men, and it does not seem that as here
tofere she has sought no shield because she

A Hint for Traeelers in 1Tcrico.

This is queer town-El Paso I
mean. the American resort. Thieves,
thugs and gamblers make upa large propoI-
ton Of the population. AS elsewhere on the
border and miles and miles away down in
Mexico, the American tough is supreme.
Sometimes he dresses well, sports an eye
glass and a cane, and tells of his rich pa in
New work or London, or some other place
heard of through the police columns of the
daily press. But don't believe him; he's a
tough Notwithstanding his assumption. And
it is he and his comrades who are the
greatest foe to respectable travellers. They
are to be feared more than Mexican. When
you load your revolver preparatory to jour
ney along the border or toward the capital of
theMexican Republican, just put in five
shells for the American border scoundrel to
one for the Mexican assassin.
