the best in the world, is the best 1t is
likely TO get for some time to come.
ltisnot at all unlikely that fresh
troubles lie in wait for Mr.. Cleveland
at the opening of Congress. There are
some points upon which radical differ
cnces exist between the Senate and the
President; some upon which 1t will be
found that differences exist between
himself and the people, especially as to
the matter OF appointments. But we
would not mar the cordiality of our
welcome by indulging in any disagree.
able forecasts at this time. 1t Is enough
TO be assured that the President is in
Washington again; that the country
is safe; that war with Mexico has
been avcrted that the war with Canada
grows more and more remote; that the
prospects for better fall trade than
We had last year are encouraging; and
that we have at the head of this
Government an Executive who, with
all his mistakes, We have every reason

liable custodian of the honor of his

Mr.. Blaine Explains His Position on

OF Mr.. Blaine to circular of the "lnde-

Blaine writes;

The abundance of the salt formations
in Nevada is illustrated 10y the fact that
in Lincoln county there is a deposit Of
pure rock salt which is exposed for a
length of two miles, width OF half a
mile, and Is of unknown depth; in places
canons are cut through it to depth Of
sixty feet, and not only has the deposit
been traced on the surface for distance
of nine miles, but it is so solid in places
as to require blasting like rock, and so
pure and transparent that print can be
read through blocks Of it some inches
thick. In Churchill county there is said
to be n deposit of rock salt some foGrtccu

Philadelphia Times: Indiana has long
been the theatre of desperate partisan
methods on both sides, and they eyi
IDENTIFY intend to keep it up. The Demo-
Gratis have two ma jority in the I.eeisla
ture-the Democ,atic majority being in
the Senate and the Republican majority
IN the House. The Republicans started
IN to contest the seats of three Demo-
cratic members of the House who have
small majorities, and the Democrats
countered on their antagonists by con-
testing the seats of six Republican Sena-
tors. The practical result will be that rs
fast as partisan Republican House
throws out Democrats. partisan Demo
cratic Senate will pitch out Republicans
and thus keep or increase their majority.
OF course, neither side will bother about
the merits of the contests. What they
want Is majority for United States
Senator. The Democrats seem to have
the bulge on the other side and they will
keep it simply because they have the
power to keep it just as the other side
would take it if it could.
