The reports of the chiefs of the
departments bear ample testimony to
the fact that there is much to
be done in the way of setting the
government house in order. The
Republican Administration did not,
after the manner of q conscientious,
departing tenant, leave to the new
ome its place of abode in q clean
and creditable condition. There is a
large amount of repairing and scour
ing to be done, and the labor is one
which, if faithfully performed. is cal
culated to occupy the earnest and
persistent attention of both the ex-
ecutive and Legislative branches of
the Government for some time.

TIE death of Vanderbilt closes a
life of wasted opportunities for good.
1t is said that he was the richest
mar in the United States and exer-
cised more influence in money and
speculative circles than any other
person, yet he managed his affairs
with an eye single to himself, and so
far as the world knows he never did
a purely generous act. Long after
he shall have rotted in his little clay
tenement he will be remembered
solely for one expression, 'the public
b~edamned," which was probably a
better index to his character than
volumes of biography. -News.L Letter.

Hon. A. NJ Kelley, ex-AIinister to
Austria, delivered a lecture in New
York City last Monday night The
subject was, "Ireland a Nation"
He gave a clear review of the history
of the Independent Irish government
of 1888 and the causes of its failure.
Coming down to the present. he said:
al know that | am speaking for you,
as / know that l am speaking for
myself, when l say that Parnell's
movement means an Irish Republic.
| have never been able to find a rea-
son or find a person who could give
a reason why Ireland should not be
free. On the basis of race, of senti-
ment, of geography, Ireland and
England should be separate. The
Irish are a pure race. The English
are a composite race-an agglomera-
ton of all the robbers OF Europe.
There is no question of religion in
this fight. 1t is one of race antip-
athy-an antipathy that existed
800 years before there was o Prot
estant in existence"

THE Washington correspondent of
the New York Wortd says that near
ly the entire Pacific coast is repre-
scented now in the Senate by million
aires or corporation men. 1t is a
matter of notoriety so common that
no one thinks of denying it that the
seats in the Senate from the West
are bought for so much money, A
ricnd Of Mr., Standards said the
other day that the latter's election
cost him a pretty smart sum. He
said that Stamford had to pay So,
, 90 apiece for thirty-three votes
This would make $4,000 for actual
votes cast, besides incidental expen.
ses. 1t would make 90 difference
where such a statement was made or
by whom; it would attract no atten.
ton. The Senate would never dream
of investigating a charge Of securing
an election by bribery and it would
ind out nothin if it did. The men
who are bribed and the men who pay
brides are the only witnesses possible
to be obtained, and of course their
evidence is impossible.

WM. III. Vanderbilt, the richest
man in this country, dropped dead
in the parlor of his mansion in New
York on Tuesday of last week. His
wealth aggregates the enormous sum
of two hundred millions of dollars.
His principal investments are in
railway bonds and railroad stock.
His two sons, Cornelius and William
X get about So, O0O, 900 apiece and
the remainder is given to the other
six children.

THERE will not be very much har.
mony on the republican side in the
Senate this winter. There are too
many Presidential candidates there.
There are FIVE who a be classed as
open aud avowed candidates, Sher
man, Llgan. Allison, Evcrts and
Edmunds, while the friends of Ben.
Iamin Harrison insist that he will be
a prominent figure in the next Con-
vention. There is no knowing how
many other Of the Republican Sena-
tors have their eyes upon the Presi.
dency. The Republican Senators
will probably have numerous eau
cuses durir G the winter, but they will
all result in nothing beyond exchange
of views. There are too many AN
didates among them to agree upon
anything definite in the way of poll
cy for fear that it wi | result in an
individual disadvantage. There is a
very intense feeling at present be-
tween Senator Sherman and Logan.

Four hundred and seventy bills
aud nine joint resolutions have been
introduced in the Senate, but only
two committees have yet held their
first meeting, and no measures have
been reported back to the Senate.
Beyond the probable discussion and
possible passage of the Presidential
Succession bill reported on Monday,
and the adoption of Mr. Frye's reso.
luton, embodying a code of joint
rules, no programme for legislative
business during the week can be in.

This Office Burned Out.

OK Monday morning of last week
between the hours of 9 and 10 o'clock
the building on Price Street in which
this office was situated was discover
ed to be on ere. Alarm was at once
given and in a few minutes the citi-
zens, both young and old of the town,
were at the scene of the FIRE working
with might and will TO save property
from the devouring element.
The FIRE originated in the garnet
and was not easily fought as there
was no way of getting into the loft
but by a window in the gable. AS
soon as this window was broken the
fire received a draft of wind which
only fastened the destruction of the
building, and it very soon became
apparent that it could not be saved.
Every effort was then put forward to
save other buildings in the vicinity.
The fire was well fought and was
not allowed to communicate with
other buildings which stands near
the scene of the fire.
The losses amount TO about $3.50.
The building was a %two-story frame
and was valued at $3.50. Our loss
on type and fixtures is about 500.
