Bonita, of Philadelphia, who has
patents tor a telephone in which an
intermittent or pulsatOry current
is employed in the transmission of
speech, will soon be IN the field
with his invention as a competitor
with Bell. The Bonita telephones
are not like those of Bell, and the
current Of electricity may be seen
to break with every syllable spoken
into the transmittOr, yet the claim
is made for it that It is not neces.
sary to speak close to the instru-
ment or in a loud tone of voice to
SECURE perfectly clear results. 1t
is said that the ticking of a watch
was distinctly heard through five
miles Of wire with Bonta's instru.

A Name for the New Bridge,

EDITOR National Republican ; 1t
has been suggested that the new
structure spanning the Potomac
river at Georgetown be named the
"Free bridge" This bridge was
procured through the interchangeable
efforts of Senator Riddleberger in
the face of strong opposition every
one who knows anything at all
about it knows this TO be true.-
Let the new bridge be named "the
Riddleberger BRIDGE Honor to
whom honor is due. The Long
bridge, this new bridge, and the
Chain bridge are all free bridges,
and there is almost a certainty Of
the construction of another and
larger bridge across the Potomac
in the near future, which will also
be a free bridge. 1t seems to me
the suggested name Free bridge is
altogether too general.

ROSCOE C0NKLING.

The past year has been notable
in the number OF prominent men
that the "Great Harvester" has
gathered as his own. The last to
answer the call was Roscoe COnk-
ling who died at two o'clock Wed.
nesday morning. No history OF
the country would be complete that
did not mention Roscoe COnkliHg
"a man of marked traits and
strong Observation-Disclosures
with the most critical events in our
history-ior many years a recog-
nized power in the Republican
party, resigning his position as U.
S. Senator rather than surrender
ing his convictions, and when the
party failed to reinstate him he
abandoned politics and entered
heartily into the duties of his pro-
fession in which he was amassing
a fortune.
His death Is directly traceable to
his indomitable will. In the recent
blizzard he was caught down town
and rather than submit to the ex-
actions of hackmen, who refused to
carry him home for less than $50,
he braved the storm and walked
the entire distance, arriving home
completely exhausted and almost
frozen, from the effects of which he
never recovered.
In his whole political career-al'
ways active and often bitter-nOt
one shade OF suspicion was eyer
cast upon his integrity OF purpose
or honesty of convictions.

who advocated a contrary dOctriur
was AN enemy to his country. !
d0n't think tree tr ide is AS rife as
formerly in the SOUTH
Nett. do |. On the contrary it
is IN lir SJah Sbere protection is
growing most rapidly. And / am
lncll",i 70 think that my friend is
not the Oul, free trade publisher in
the country who has had his or a
similar experience.
CONCLUSION.
! cannot think there can be any
serious cOntrOyerslOn Ofthe position
assume, that the states mentioned
IN the second table above, would,
on square fight between prOtec
ton and free trade, vote for protec.
ton. But this thought also awakes
another. The people are fast, ev.
erywhere, coming to recognize my
definition Of protection and free
trade. In such case the ties of
party will be found very feeble. -
If then party organization should
plant itself firmly on free trade,
and enter the battle squarely on
that issue, what would be the re-
suit? 4 more complete aud thor
ough destruction than that, which,
through the want of intelligent
comprehension Of the situat on by
the masses, was served out TO the
old Federalist party. Any chance
of saving anything out OF the wreck
would be absolutely INVISIBLE.
