The following is an extract taken from.
letter written by the father OF Judge
Tourgee, a sturdy farmer or 76, living in
AshtabuIa county, Ohio, to his son in
relation to the political situation:

the most unmitigated contempt, unless

all-or-nothing man, in politics or any
thing else. When the anti. slavery men
got ready to undertake something lt was
possible to do, they found that the men
they had been denouncing as towards,
and knaves, and fools, for twenty years
were ready to join hands with them and
do what they would never have done
alone. In fact in every relation of life
the man who does the best he can is the
one who accompliehes good results, not
the one who will insist on doing every
thing at once.

Yesterday, in open session, the United
States senate rejected the fisheries treaty
made by Cleveland's g administration with
Great Britain-the treaty pertaining to
Canadian fisheries. Several minor pro.
positions embodying amendments to the
treaty and submission to arbitration
were first voted down and the final vote
was upon resolution ratifyipg the
treaty. This was defeated by twenty.
seven yeas to thirty nays To have passed
the resolution would have required a two.
thirds affirmative vote. The scheme to
surrender most of our fishery rights was
therefore defeated,

Senator relIer's Point,

Chicago Inter Ocean: Senator Teller
made point, with barb attached, in
his speech on the fisheries treaty the
other day. Replying to statements from
the democratic side to the effect that
during President ArthuI's administra-
tion many outrsRes had been inflicted
on American fishing vessels, and had not
been resented by that administration
he declared that there was not word of
truth in them; that there was not seiz-
nre OF a single American vessel during
that term. He added: "But since the
present administration came into power
there have been more than sour hundred
vessels seized and more than two thou
sand boarded by Canadian and British
authorities. The flag has been hauled
down, and no apologies have been made
therefor" This fact is sufficient to con :
vict the Cleveland administration of
eupineness and indifference to American
interests. Does anybody imagine these
outrages would have been committed
with the same degree of impuni.y il Mr..
Blaine had been president during these
years?

Washington special: a striking in
stance OF the persistence with which
President Cleveland holds to prede-
termined course of action will shortly
come to light. There will be retirement
in the subsistence department, which
will cause several promotions and leave
vacancy OF captsincy to be filled by
appointment. The position is desirable
and there has been flood of applications
from every quarter pouring in upon the
President. A correspondent is able to

After long season of buncombe dis
cussien and loudly reverberating polisi.
cal thunder the democratic majority in
the house permitted the Chinese bill to
go to vote, when it passed without a
dissenting voice. A correspondent gives
as the reason for this determination to
debate the measures upon which the
republicans desired vote Immediately
after the house took the bill up Sstur-
day is to make the government bear the
expense of printing and disseminating
democratic campaign literature without
expense to the democratic committee.
To such base uses is the tax money OF
the republic applied. These are the
things that debilitate the surplus.

This 10 the day OF the convention con-
test at Wstertown-the one day out Of
every 730 days when the republican
voters of Dakota take to themselves the
hattering unction that really amount to
something in political way. They as
semble to nominate the man who Is to
have seat but no vote in the lower
house of congress during the two years
succeeding the 4th of March next. It is
on this day and occasion-once every
two years--that the proud citizens uf the

On this occasion there are before the
convention some fifteen men who have
been mentioned more or less prominent

aspirants there are as many more per-

situation is that Clifford leads in positive
strength, but with not more than hall
enough votes ct the outset to nominate
him. The final result is one of the
mysteries to be solved by successive

gurricantt,s Needle

Denver, Colo,. August 20-One of the
highest points i'll America is the Curri-
can't Needle. l. asst Friday the American
tag was raised on the needle, which is
about five thousand feet in height, and
ls without doubt, one of ths highest
points from which the stars aud strips are
hung to the breeze. The numerous
travellers that paes by daily over the
Denver d. Rio Grande railroad cheer it
with the enthusiasm that only an Ameri-
can can. A letter just received in this
city from miner has the following
concerning the raising of the flag:
we have the national emblem on the
very top OF the Ourrioantl Needle. 1t is
ten foot flag and shows off very nicely.
Ihe section men were discussing the
pros aId cons of climbing mp there, and
one OF them, an English sailor, said he
believed he could do it. An Indian
apolis lady who happened to be present
then remarked:
IF you will I will make q flag to put
up."
"On attempting the ascent he suc-
ceeded in getting part way up, when he
fell into the river and lost the flag. The
lady sent for more material aud made o
new one, On the day above mentioned
the ex.tar succeeded Id placing the flag
on the summit" In conclusion the
writer says: 81 do not Believe there is
another man in the country who could
have done it. There is one place where
it IS nearly perpendicular wall of fifty
feet. The Englishman went up by put
ting his hands in the crevices OF the
rocks and pulling himself up by main

reasonable grounds for hope OF division

Yet the republican senate has passed
bill which effects the division of Da-

the north half. On the contrary the
democratic house refuses to countenance
division and neeieets to pass bill for
