Sixty Days of Democratic Rule.

In the business world sixty days, with the
customary three days Of grace, give long
enough time TO learn what kind of stuff man
is made Of Mr. Cleveland and his admins
tra.ion have had sixty DAYS and three days of
grace, and little more, in which to make an
impress upon the country for good or i'll
The first fruits are ripe; but the country
reaching mp TO pluck the luscious product
that was promised finds in it's grasp only Dead
Sea apples. The great journals of New Eng
land that Numbered for Mr.. Cleveland last
fall are whispering small volumes of anathe-
mas over the Chases, the Pillsburys, the
Troups and the Higginses. The democratic
organs everywhere are putting in queries
about post offices and collectorships. In the
boundless West and downtroddeD South only
one THINE absorbs their attentOn-the dis
tribution of the loaves and fishes. The
statesmen Of the party are holding their hats
at the White House entrance tor crumbs of
executive favor. The Vice President creeps
around the departments at Washington like
needy applicant.
The days and the nights Of the adminstra-
ton are given over to the distribution of
offices, to the reward of men for party service,
to the manipulation Of the public patronage
so that the party NAV retain power. Bossism
il restored in all the States. The cloak of
civil service reform is pinned up on the White
House gate, but through the gaping rents in
II may be seen trusty public servants dis
charged as alleged offensive partisans,'
while the democratic political hacks and
mountebanks who replace them are bedecked
rs reforming saints. A laundering politician
from the whipping-post State heads the cabi-
net. A machine politician leads and manip-
ulates 1t. Elk Confederates, unpardoned and
unrepentant rebels, and virulent copperheads
are selected for important foreign mi. sions.
These are the impressions caused by the
hrst sixty DAYS Of democratic rule. The poll
tcies Of government that new administration
might be expected 10 enter upon and advocate
are still in the dim distant future. The i'm
press Of the President on the country is Who'll.
ly and solely connected with the dispensation
Of the spells of political victory. An inquiry
- to the principles or policies or public
We've Of the President or his administration
meets with blank response. There are no
principles. no policies, no public vews-on-
~ spoils. The office of President is degrad-
ed beyond comparison, the public business is
weakly administered, and is falling away
from the great principles which were follow
ed under republican rule with honor, ability
and integrity. The spectacle is not pleasant,
But when the people fully understand with
er the country Is drifting. they can be trusted
TO apply the remedy .-Mer York Tribune.

GOOD LEATHER IN HIM.

That Cree Chief, Poundmaker
who has been convicted and SEN
fenced to three years imprison'
ment in the Dominion prison, must
be a good deal of a man. When
made to stand up for sentence he
made a. speech, of which the fol.
lowing is an extract:
Il am not guilty. Much that has
been said against me is not true,
andI am glad of my work in the
Queens country this Spring. What
It1id was for the Great Mother.
When my brothers and the pale
faces met in the fight, I saved the
Queens men. / took their arms
from my brothers and gave them up
at Battleford. Everything could do
was done to prevent bloodshed.
Had I wanted war, | would not be
here now; l would be onithe prairie.
You did not catch me. I gave my
self up. You have got me because
I wanted peace. I cannot help my
self, but I'm man still, and you
may do as you like with me"
Since the trial there is a great
fevulsion Of feeling in favor Of the
chief. People are telling Of his
grand acts, and General Middleton
declares that the attack upon him
by Colonel Otter was without ex-
suse or justification. Some of the
newspapers are advocating universal
amnesty for all the accused half
breeds and Indians. When SEN
fenced the chief cried out: Hang
me now. / would rather die than
be locked up"

Austin, in this State, in addition
to her famous songstress, Emma
Wixom, is likely to furnish a star
of the first magnitude to the the
atrical world. Miss Florence Moli-
nelli, native of Austin, is playing
at Denver. She is only about six
teen years of age and has created
quite sensation in the roles of
Modjesks and Clara Morris, be-
sides a number of Shakesperean
characters. Her acting is said to
be remarkable for one Of her age.

POSTAL DELlV
cry.

The salary of the messenger boys
under the new postal delivery law,
is not to exceed thirty dollars per
month. Postmaster General Villas
in his preliminary circular calls es-
pecial attention to the fact that the
special delivery system is an ex-
pertinent, the success of which will
depend entirely upon the postmas-
tiers. he significantly adds that its
success or failure in any given To-
cality will indicate the postmaster's
official value, The two conditions
of success are that it shall prove
what it processes to be-a prompt
and efficient delivery system and that
it be made self-sustaining, or, still
better. revenue-yielding. We be
lieve that this new feature of spec
ial delivery is good one, and should
be extended wherever possible
without any reference to its cost
The country is rich enough to have
a perfect postal system. This ex-
pertinent promises to be successful
in all cities where there is popu-
lation large enough. 1t will 60 into
effect on the LIST day Of October
next, and its utility caunot be ques-
toned by any enterprislng COM
munitv.
Carson is to have the benefit of
the system.

FAIR PLAY.

The international yacht race be-
tween the Genesta and Puritan has
brought one characteristic trait Of
both nationalities to the front,
namely, fair play.
In attempting to gain some points
to the wlndward, the Puritan
crossed the English bow-sprit, was
= second too late, and the rigging
fouled. Under the rules the Amer
lean yacht lost the race, but the
Englishmen declined to take it, and
the Americans acknowledging their
mistake offered to pay all damages.
The race is to be sailed over, and
the superiority Of one or the
other yacht determined fairly.
The race has created the greatest
interest on both continents. as the
struggle for the supremacy in yachts
has been going on between the two
countries for over thirty years. The
skill in sailing is about equal, and
the question rests solely upon
the process Of manufacture and the
style of rigging. Even a victory
for one OF the other leaves the
question still in doubt, as the diff
ference in the draught of the yachts
amounts to over three feet, and
rough weather and a heavy sea
would favor the English, while a
stiff breeze and good water would
be certain to give America the cup.

August I, 1885.
We have been having plenty of rain
lately that came in good time for the
corn and tobacco. which have been
much revived and are unusually promis-
ing. We have the best crop Of oats
this season that we have had for many
years past. The dry spell that preceded
the recent rains was very favorable for
saving the hay and oats. The weather
has been extremely warm for two weeks
past. 1t is less oppressive now since
the rains, but it Is fine growing wea-
Their for the crops.
The nominations made by the Demo-
cratic Convention last week meet with
the hearty approval Of our people, and
there is determination on the part Of
the Democrats to us, all proper means
to make the ticket n success.
Some Of our young people have re-
Gently made visit to the Natural

were on the watch, and universal en-

At all Of the principal stations guns
