Senator Mcpherson is out in card stating
that the man who accuses him of selling out
the Democracy is either crazy, falsifer or a
blunderer He denies that he ever made any
such trade as reported with Senator Sewall,
and as for his attitude in regard to subsidies
he says that the records of Congress will
show that he always voted against them.

1t appears by the Maine Sentinel that the
Biddeford Democrats declared the office of
school superintendent, vacant purely for the

The President is reported as saying that if

purposes, but he hasn't been dipped out

Chicago is paying the penalty of the ne

NOT ACQUAINTED WITH THE INSTITUTION
Philadelphia Press
The order issued by Postmaster General
Villas prohibiting loafng in fourth-class post
offices is about as absurd as anything this ad-
mlnlstration has done. 1t shows clearly that
Villas has never visited any crossroads Off
ces in the backwoods, where the post office
is generally run in connection with country
store and where the old farmers gather in
the evening to swap remedies for foot-rot in
sheep, and compare the dimensions of their
prize steers, and about the short crop of corn
over on Dutch ridge. Villas should expand
his acquaintance with the uses of our postal
institution.

Inc Belfast Age predicts that when Con-
gress is called together again the President
will develop Democratic policy which will
differ quite radically from that which has
been pursued during the rule of the Republi-
can party" ''Monopolies, it says, will be
no longer fostered; no further attempts will
be made to convert the government into a
machine to collect taxes to be distributed
among the States tariff laws will be restrict
ed to the raising of a revenue sufficient only
for the needs of the government, and con
sumers no longer taxed to provide subsidies
for certain classes unearned lands, rcck-
slessly granted to railroad corporations by the
Republican party, will be restored to the ma
tional domain; nor will alien absentees, nor
great cattle companies be allowed to grab up
the lands needed for actual settlers. These
are only some of the changes which will be
insisted upon" But supposing Congress
shouldn't be of the same mind as the Presi-
dent what is the President going to do about
it?

Although there is perhaps some reason to
doubt whether the President ever made that
last remark, the fact that he has again and
again promised not to make removals with
out cause, leaves no reason to doubt as to the
first remark. There is, however, ample rea-
son to doubt the sincerity that ought to go
with it,

1t appears, however, that the truth OF the
matter is that the syndicate controlling the
Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas and Pa
cifc Road are well satisfied with the man.
sgement OF Mr.. Scott and the judgment and
executive ability he has shown in handling
the business of the system.
The New Orleans and Northeastern Road,
which is not much more than a year old, has
made a brilliant showing during the past
twelve months. 1t is evidenced by the fact
that during the month of December, 1883,
the earnings Of the road amounted to about
$50. 600, but during December, 1884, the
earnings ran up as high as S97. 600, which, to
say the least, is a decided increase, and indi-
Gates very plainly that the older the road
gets the greater is its business.
