ford B. Hayes, the author of "Execu-
tive Order No. l." The Republican
associations had been instrumental in
raising lots of wind for their party.
They collected money, sem partisan
documents to their own states and dis.
tricts, and wrote many letters to their
luke warm brethren. Mr.. Hayes stop.
ped all hat business. He thereby Grip.
pied his party. The members of the
Republican associations were making
themselves useful, not merely for the
purpose Of helping the party, but also
for their own maintenance. Whenever
the position of any member was threat
ened, the entire association would be-
seige the members o%fcongross, and both
Of the senators for tho necessary Sinful
ence" to save his bacon. These Demo.
cratic state associations arc to 60 through

Democrats that their party will lose
control Of the house, at tho next cleo

There are four to be lost in Iowa alone
to the. Democratic party. The fight
about the tariff between Morrison and
randall, is a very unhappy thing. Ell.
forts are being made privately to e e.
oncile their differences. Col. Morrison
insists upon forcing his ideas upon the
house. Mr.. Randall merely says: "If

the brainlest man in the Democratic
party in the house, to-day. and one Of
the best.
We have Il canal here. II has boats
upon it. The boats are inhabited with
and by men, women, fteas, bugs, rats
and other vermin. Two Of the men
had one woman between them. Satur-
day night they hada fight and now only
one husband remains to the woman.
The other ono has gone happily to n
%drunkard's heaven. Thus is the right
eousness Of tho biggest bully with the
strongest muscles rewarded. Blessed
are the sluggers, for they shall have the
women.
Our city is supplied from the Potomac
river, and the water in our reservoirs is
not as pure as ice. The health officer
has had experiments made, and finds
that the water can be filtered az
it INTO the great mains. He
has ordered that this be done. I'm.

and you can get q treat. We have never
had pure water hitherto, and that is the
reason u congressman aud visitors
