BOuteIIe's Attack will Probably Cause
the Virginia COngressman's Re-EIec-
ttOn.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Boutelle of
Maine, who has undertaken to fight the
war all over again, and Brady of Virginia,
Mahone's Readjuster member with a
stiletto attachment, who arraigned Geo.
ID. Wise in the House in his absence the
other night, sat together Saturday talk
ing over their daring exploits. A Virgin
ian. observing them from the gallery of
the House, said: Those two fellows are
not without their uses. They have done
Virginia a positive though an uninten-
tiOnal service. They have insured the re-
turn of George ID. Wise to Con-
gress. Wise, though man of
fair ability and a hard worker, was
booked for retirement at the next cOnven-
ton. There are number of ambitious,
pushing young fellows down at Rich
mOnd who are impatient to come TO Con-
gress, and together they had just about
effected winning combination against
Wise. They were insisting that ne had
been honOred enough. But all is charged
now. Wise has carried himself so admir-
ably throughout this recent campaign
that bis friends will be able to overbear
the opposition TO him. IL is a good thing
Tor the state. Wise has been here long
enough now TO see his way clearly, and
no new man, however able or brilliant,
would prove so efficient"
"Wtse. then, has little cause to feel re-
septtul toward bis two assailantsP'

know that he ought TO send each Of them

sHADOwED BY DETECTIVES.
What AnnOys Outhbert Jones OF Ven.
delta Fame.

From me ItHteS~ Dent0crdt.
WASHINGTON, Feb. lS.-Cuthbert B.
Jones is being Swallowed by private de-
tectives, and the affair is shrouded in a
good deal OF mystery. Although taking
the matter in hand as soon as he was
advised Of IL by friend, Jones has as yet
been unable TO pierce the veil. The eX-
PLANTATION made by the detectives when
approached was that they had arrested Il
man OF the name OF Hart claiming 20 be
from Georgia, and he had referred them to
Jones and 20 Gov. Hahn. They were
only looking for Jones, they said, 10 verify
the prisoners statement. This explana-
tion did not satisfy Jones, who went at
once TO the chief OF police and demanded
70 know what was wanted OF him. The
chief knew nothing Of the matter, or said
he knew nothing.
sMy name is Cuthbert h. Jones, and
my residence is l4l4 X street, n. W. II
anything Is wanted OF me can be found
az home, and | want TO be approached
about IL In an open and direct way"
With this Jones left.
The story about the man Hart Is poor
one. Gov. Hahn, 20 whom the detectives
claimed also 10 have been referred. has
not been approached on the subject.
Jones has bis theory of the matter, and
has set 10 work TO solve IL accordingly.

these qualities, more rapidly than we
are advancing in the means of physi-
cal support and independence, the
fact is, or shall be an omen Of retro
gression aud cause for serious
alarm. The tfuthfnIness Of this state
ment is rendered forcibly apparent,
as exemplifed 10 thousands of indi-
vidual lives. The young man and
young woman who have been brought
up more delicately or tenderly than
their conditions or circumstances in
life warranted, often, when thrown
upon the world to stem life's current
and push up stream, shrink from the
struggle and become objects of pity
Their fortune, it is true, is often
hard but not unbearable nor unsur-
mountable by those Of strong physi-
cal stamina, yet they often quail be-
fore their fortune, and unless rescu-
ed by some sympathizing strong arm,
yield to the inevitable tendencies to
sink lower. Thus too often what
should have been prosperous and be
nificent lives, become degenerate, de
pendent existences, shedding little
else except hurtful and retarding in
fuences. But, however serious may
be the effects Of the degeneracy, thus
resulting, upon the prosperity and
usefulness Of individuals, it is as q
drop in the sea compared with the
seriousness Of the effects OF the same
upon the prosperity and usefulness Of
an entire race.
But the reader may fail TO see that
no discussion is strictly pertinent to
the idea involved in the caption. Tn
our previous discussion Of the same
idea, one of the things we tried to
make prominent, rs essential to the
achievement of such q purpose, was
the necessity Of suppressing bad ten
denotes and of eliminating, as far as
possible, erroneous practices. In the
present discussion, our purpose has
been to assert the inestimable merits
of land and the possession and pres
ervation of certain physical and men,
tai qualities, asindisapensble requi-
sites, as means to the same high end.
We are now prepared to enter up
on a more practical line of discussion;
to assert it as our belief that the ac-
tual working out of the result to
which we would incite the race, is in
jeopardy; to state from what sources
we believe it is threatened. and in
what lie the remedies, in which we
believe are contained the possibilities,
indeed the assurance of it's realiza-
ton. J. NJ. AFTER.

from President, down, is given up to
moneyed rule? Truly, righteous
ness exalteth nation, and sin is a
reproach to any people, and when
such vices 60 unchecked in our ma
ton, her pride is humbled, and her
future glory is seriously crippled.
When we contemplate the fact that
it is no uncommon thing for a man
TO buy his way into power that
honest men dare not for their honor's
sake, grapple with politics; that bal
lot box stuffing is in every day oc-
currence; that organized rings Sc
lect party candidates; that the sa-
loon holds wonderful sway over par
ties and that all Of these influences
are growing every day, more formid-
able,--we can but conclude that our
politics is fast becoming ain unsur-
mountable barrier in the way Of our
national progress The great, good,
and lamented Garfield, once said -
Let Americans devote themselves
to the lcelfare Of America" Though
dead. his words still live, and it
would be well if the politicians Of
these days would heed these immor-
tai words by striving to purify the
stagnant and corrupt pool Of Ameri-
can politics, and endeavoring to
erase from the pages Of history, by
future purity, the numerous political
frauds whichsend the blush Of shame
to our checks. In the eloquent words
Of the lamented BENZ. Hill, Of Geor-
gia let him be called the great:
est, the noblest, and the truest lover
Of his country, who shall do the
most to redeem the wrongs OF the
past, and promote the glories of the
future Il. Il. u.
