Charge. Chester. Charge! On. Stan
lev. On!

The President sent message to
the Senate touching the question of
giving the information 1t has been
demanding of the heads Of depart
ments, instead Of asking the Presi-
dent for, that threw the information
seekers Of that body upon their beam
ends. It was unlocked for, and
dropped among them like a clap OF
thunder from clear sky. The
storm is coming. One year ago to-
day Mr.. Cleveland was inaugnrated
and his plain and unmistakablc duty
was to give the Offices which had for
nearly quarter OF a century been
under control Of the men who have
made profit from the misfortunes of
their country to remove them and
appoint the wisest, best and most
discreet Of the non office holding
classes of the country. That would
have been in the direction of reform.
And the kicking of republican Sena-
tors over petty offices and their en-
tire neglect OF the business interests
Of the country until they shall be
officially informed OF the reasons for
removing the postmaster at Podunk
Four Corners will probably open the
eyes Of the President as to the pur-
poses Of that dignifled body OF USE
less fossils, and will undoubtedly
stimulate removals and placing the
control Of the affairs OF the country
in the hands Of the people that
elected the present administration,
and no amount Of kicking can rein
state the offensive partisans who
have been removed.
On with the fight!
It is high time for the President to
tell the pestilential brood in the lam
gnage Of Grattan:

The chief result OF OK Governor St
Johns visit in Connecticut seems to
have been the public exhibition by
the republicans OF all the spite stored
up against him and his followers in
the last campaign. The newspapers
say that when st John visited the
capitol at Hartford and Speaker lib
bits was requested to introduce the
visitor to the house. the latter re-
piled that he much preferred ITO

recognition. President Stanton Of

Scripture for Lent.
To the Editor:

l.
ask the clergymen who see this
paper to read to their congregations,
at some time during the forty days
Of Lent, the plain Instructions fol
keeping a fast given in the 58th
chapter Of Isaiah. The first verse
tells the clergy their duty;
Cry aloud, spare not: lift up thy
voice like trumpet, and show my
people their transgression."
A Clear, emphatic command,
which only a coward can avoid or u
hypocrite evade. The chapter then
runs thus:
Wherefore have We tasted. they
say, and thou seest not? And
wherefore have We afflicted our soul
and thou takest no knowledge? Be.
hold, in the dny Of your fast We find
pleasure and exact all your labors.
Behold, We fast for strife and de-
bate. and to smite with the fist Of
wickedncss. Ye shall not fast as "
do this day, to make your voice to
be heard on high. Is it such a fast
that have chosen? Il day for man
to af1lict his soul? is it to bow down
his head as bulrush =?
Wilt thou call this CAST and an ac-
ceptable day to the Lord? Is not
this the fast that / have chosen? to
loose the bands OF wickedne IS, to
undue the heavy burdens and to let
the oppressed go free, and that ye
break euery yoke, l. ii not to deal
thy bread to the hungry, and that
thou bring the poor that are east
out to thy house? when thou seest
the naked, that thon cover him?"
Will there be many in the congre-
cations Of these clergymcn willing
10 foregO the salmon or other expen-
sive Lenten dishes prepared by
their French chefs, that some hard.
worked, half starved washerwomrn
may have something more than
smoked herring for her own and her
chiidren's table? and many who
will think, not only twice, but good
many more times, before they begin
to undo the heavy burdens or let
the oppressed 60 free?' But il the
clergymen "spare not he will at
least have the satisfaction OF having
honestly earned his salary, and his
soul will not be haunted by the mis-.
cradle conviction that he has been

ces.

Bohemian Oat Robbers.

A scheme is organized IN Kansas
to rob the farmers In selling them
Bohemian oats at ten dollars per
bushei. The head quarters OF the
thieves in this State are Bedford.
They give a bond, which strangely
enough is signed by the fool agent
of a farmer as superintendent, and
when the time expires in which oats
are to be sold, it turns out to be a
contract for the price OF the agreed
number OF bushels. The swindlers
have been driven from the Eastern
states by indictments,,and prosecu-
tons for fraud &C., they have trans
ferred their field OF operations to the
West. having Incorporated under the
laws OF Kansas. In Ohio where the
swindle originated, law has been
enacted to punish the persons en-
gagged in their sale. The oats are
lighter in weight than the common
oats and yield only about two-thirds
as much per acre. Their only com
mendation is that they are hulless,
but the farmers of Ohio deny that
this is a benefit. Another fact that
farmers should think Of, is, that II
they had merit. the wealthy and en-
terprising seed houses Of the East,
such AZ Vick's, Peter Henderson,
Hiram Sibley & Co., D. NJ Ferry and
others would keep them in stock.

THE NEW YEAR.

Readers Of the Leader and the
Register must have been amused
yesterday morning after having Pc
rused the Washington specials in
either paper. Our esteemed contem-
rorary had it that Weaver was max
ing superhuRian efforts to stave off
the Campbell contest for his seat in
congress, making no effort TO com
plete his brief OF defense. hoping
thereby to gain time. The Leaders
special on that question was quite
different. 1t was to the effect that
Judge Cook had completed the brief
for the defense and that Weaver was
anxious for an early hearing, and
that it showed Campbell to have no
case-indeed, 20 light a shadow Of a
case that it is doubtful Ii expenses
were allowed him. Now watch for
the case and learn which special
is reliable.-[Des Moines Leader.

public to serve the purpose. to dis
credit the president whom it cannot
control. This is the party game Of
the senate, and it splayed with skill.

In which he would be sustained by

them public At tie same time with

choose. These further statements"
