SENATOR SHERMAN could stand it no Ion
ger. He saw Messrs. Evarts, Edmunds,
Harrison, Logan, and other of his republican
colleagues, all striving for the next republic
an Presidential nomination, and all getting
ahead of him in the race for that position.
Hs realized the fact that something had to
be done, and that quickly, if he would not
be |ef; so far behind that he could never
catch up And so. though Senator Eustis's
resolution about the sub treasury in New
Orleans had no moro to do with the Presi-
dents refusal to give his reasons for remov-
ing republican Office holders than with the
man in the moon, he seized it and made it
the occ lson for tho delivery Of a speech,
which, he hoped, would again bring him be-
fore the public, and, at the same time, take
the wind out of the sails Of some Of his sen.
atorial rivals.

A MEMBER of the Virginia Congressional
delegation several years ago, told friend
one day, in the U. S. House of Representa-
tives, that he would vote for any demagoglc
measure that might be introduced, for the
reason that he had made up his mind that
no man in Congress should be greater
demsgogue than himself He was talking
about bill similar to the one that has been
recently introduced by Mr.. Foran, of Ohio,
for net only giving people farms, but, in ad'
dition, FIVE hundred dollars with which to
build houses on them. 1t is not supposed
that many members of the present Congress
will be actuatcd by tho same motive that
inspired the Virsinian referred to, but the
fact that such bill as Mr.. Foran's has been
introduced shows the degree dcmagogism
has already reached in this country. Its
strides are more rapid here than they were
in Rome, in the days of that republic; but
America is progressive" country.

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
wrDN EsDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 10.

For MORE than month the Potomac mas
been closed with ice, and the national capi'
tal been more effectually blockaded than
any Southern port was during the war. In
addition to the great losses necessarily con-
seauent upon such blockade, by no means
small one results from the increased price
Of provisions to the houseKeepers OF Wasn-
ington. Water transportation is cheaper
than that by land, and as all provisions
during the blockade, must reach the DIS
trict of Columbia by the latter, the
housekeepers referred to of course,
have to bear the increased expense. This
and all the other patent losses consequent
mon the blockade, and, besides, the great
danger OF the destruction of the Long
Bridge, and food in Washington, could be
avoided by small outlay for the purchase
of an ice boat with which the river could be
kept open during the occasional cold spells
that visit this locality. They never stay
more than three or four days at time, but
the ice blockade they make lasts for
months, and it would only be during their
visits that the services of an ice boat would
be REQUIRED. It can not be doubted that
proper representations to Congress in re-
spect of this matter would secure the requi-
site appropriation at once, as the necessity
for it can be seen at glance

An Illinois editor had forty-three
delinquent subscribers jerked up 70,
not paying their subscriptions. The
editor obtained judgment in each
case for the full amount of his claim.
OF that number twenty-eight made
affidavit that they owned no more
property than the law allowed, thus
preventing attachment. The twenty
eight, under the decision of the SUI
prcme Court, were arrested for petty
larceny, and bound over in the sum
of $500 each. All but six gave bonds,
The six, failing to give bail, were
sent to Jail. Should such a law be
enforded in Montana additions would
have to be built to every Jail in the
territory to hold the annual crop of
subscribers who fail to pay for their
papers. Dillon Tribune.

Grand Master Workman Powderly
has given lucid explanation of what
THE Knights of Labor are. The or
ganization was intended, he said, to
take in not only the men who worked
at the bench, or in mine, but every
man who toiled by the hand or brain
in any honest occupation. He added:
eve left one or two honest occu-
|pations-lawyers and bankers-be-
cause we felt that they were fully
capable Of taking care Of themselves.
Once IN while we take IN preach
er. We will not take in saloon-keep-
ers. Even if members wife begins
to sell liquor we make HIM take di-
vorce, not from his wife, but from
the organization. The present mem-
bership does not exceed 100000, al
though we have been credited with s.
100000. Women were first admitted in
1881. We claim that if women per-
form equal work they are entitled to
equal pay. We have one assembly
OF women with membership Of 800,
and from the day of its organization
to the present day single expulsion
or suspension has never taken place.
They manage their affairs in such
way as to reflect credit upon them,
and be a pattern for men. We
make no distinction in regard to COL
or, creed, sex or condition. We have
one assembly in New York where
the President is q Roman Catholic,
the Vice-President a Presbyterian,
and the man who occupies the next
position Hindoo. Colored men sell
dom ever enter assemblies Of white
members. They have assemblies Of
their own and are managing them
very nicely"
