the designer, Figure of Patriotism" She

We clip the above from an exchange by way
of directing attention to the efforts now being
made for the erection of soldiers monument
in this city. The matter has been taken in
hand by Thomas II. Marshall Post. G. A. r.,
of Belfast, and good sum is already deposited
we trust that this amount may be raised and
the monument erected before the close of
another season. There must be quite num-

abundantly able and would gladly contribute
to this fund for honoring those who laid down
their lives for their country. If they have not
been directly appealed to let them take this as
an invitation, and if they see fit to remit to this
office We will be pleased to receive and transfer
their contributions to the committee.

The Belfast Age, which recently indorsed

says The Republican papers are gradually
schooling themselves up TO the revolutionary
idea of the Senate putting stop to the opera

tionary idea" is excellent. Mr.. Rust has evil
IDENTITY adopted EX-Gov. Pasted's idea Of the
appointing power. The Senate has ii duty to
perform well the President, and where
efficient officers are removed to make places for

some very pertinent questions, which will have

no power to do otherwise. That, of course, Is
absurd, as every intelligent person knows. APP

That consent has often been withheld in the
past and is likely to be in the future, especially
when men are nominated for positions for
which they are VIGOROUSLY incompetent and
unfit. 1t is possible such a case may come up
in connection with the Belfast custom house.
