tation of Virginia exhibits at the
New Orleans Exposition. He with

Boss BarbOur's organ at Alexan-
dria is still calling REIMBURSEMENT
reputation, and abusing the Re-
publicans of Virginia for passing
the Riddleberger bill which the
Bourbons, as a party, profess to
acquiesce in and support
Carter Harrison and Speaker
Haines, of the Illinois Legislature,
think they understand each other.
But the real point Of interests is
whether they can stand from I'M
der each other.
Large number of cattle are dying
in the western part OF Kansas from
the severe weather. Cattle men
pronounce this the worst winter
known for years.
An attempt was made to blow

Garry Brothers, New York city, by

placed under a window. Considera-
bic damage was done. Discharg-
ed employees and members of the
Dry Goods Clerks Secret Union
are suspected. Several arrests

The manned and disabled ex-
Confederates of Virginia know
whose fault it was and is that the

the usurping Bourbon Legislature.
They can fight no moro ; but they

Gentlemen said Carl Schurz TO
an audience of Carolina colonies,
fare there really any differences
between usf and the crowd, as
with a single voice, replied, mo
We all want offices.
Spain with her earthquakes, Italy
with her cholera, Switzerland with
her avalanches, England with her
dynamite terrors, Russia with her
Sihilism and France with for
eign war-really, men and breth-
rem, none of these nations can offer
kRe advantages as a place Of resi-
,NRce that America does-the
,ouuthy whose most serious prob
lem today is how to reduce her
annual income.
Politics is a selfish business, and
each section Of the country gen.
orally looks out for its own inter-
ests. 1t is little singular, there
fore, to see the North and the Re
publican party practically solid in
favor Ola measure, the chief ben.
eft of which will accrue to the
South, while Congressman from
that section and the Democrats
generally are lukewarm or opposed
to the measure. And yet this is
exactly the situation on the Blair
Educational bill now before Con-

An interesting correspondent of
the New York Times, in a long
cable despatch from Berlin, informs
US that shrewd trained observers
believe the ultImatum ofBismarck's
policy is the demolition of the
British Empire, with a division of
the spoils which would give to
Russia India, to France Egypt and
Hong Kong, andto Germany South
Africa. This is interesting talk
and perhaps good enough TO cable,
now that rates are reduced, but all

Bismarck's time.
Mr.. Conrad, a Montana banker,
says: The newspaper criticisms

Why, the National banks, so far
as profits are concerned, would not
be in existence a day, except for
the confidence the people have III
them by reason of the Government
connection. Out our way, most of
the banks want to loan on bonds
and securities prohibited by law.
They manage to do 1t there and
all over the country, through some
officer of the bank. In private
banning they would have full free
dom and not be obliged to publish
statements.
When the Republican party Of
Virginia takes the field this year
to elect a Governor, Lieutenant
Governor Acknowledgement, and
Legislature, the Bourbon under
takers who have been so busily
burying it for some time will fnd
that they have been officiating at
their own funeral. Over one hun
dred and forty-one thousand Re
publicans, reinforced by all other
Virginians who want free educa-
ton, free politics, and Protective
policy to develop our resources,
are enough TO overcome all the
forces that BourbOnism can muster
in behalf of its sccursed ascen-
daney.
The broker organs that are again
calling Virginia REIMBURSEMENT re.
pudiatiOn, might as well denounce
the exposure and breaking up of
the Tweed Ring in New York City;
for the Funding bill Of ISL, under
