John Nichols Address.

Signal John Nichols publishes an
address to the voters of the Fourth
District. The greater part of it is a
rehash of the speech he made IN the
House of Representatives on Thurs
day May 18th. To boil it all down
in few words it is filled up with
"yOu cannot trust the free trade
party" and las your representative"
what IL endeavored to secure"
Here is one choice morsel from his
dish of hash:
In every question where your in
terest were at stake, hayeendeavor-
edtoserved those interests faithfully,
and | shall continue to do so with
whatever of zeal or knowledge l
may possess"
Is that so?
WillMr. Nichols please tell US if he
thinks he served theinterests Of this
people faithfully when he appointed
his own son to West Point without
notifying Mr.. Van Noppen, or any
one else interested in that appoint
ment? Answer, sir. ThepeOple Of
this district want an account of such
proceedings, and an account you
must give.
Mr.. Nichols says: Il am for pro-
lection, my opponents are for free
trade, disguised under the name of
Revenue Reform but the lions
skin does not hide the ass's ears"
BE takes his stand squarely on the
Republican platform and endOres its
high protective and free whisky
policy.
A very apt quotation you hav,
used, Mr.. Nichols; that Of the lion'i
skin. You yourself cannot hide suf.
ficientiY to prevent detection. In
the last campaign you came befor,
this people as an INDEPENDENT; yoJ
cut yourself alOof from party tie
and assumed the roll Of "the labor
ing mans friend" Now what hay,
you done for the labOring man
Nothing we can heir Of. You even
went 50 far as to deny the laborin,
men, and their sons, fair chane,
with your own son. Deny that, i
you can!
Now you are back again in you
old party, yelling ''free trade!" an,
endeayoriug 10 "plunk down" tn
Threats Of those who voted for you
high protection, free whiskey an,
high taxes upon the neeessaries o
life. This IS friendship for the Ia
boring man with a vengeance.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
WASHINGTON ID

WASHINGTON d. O., Aug. 10, 1888
Mr.. EDITOR: Some few years ago Con
gress passed a bill providing that, upon the
retirement OF General Sherman, there
should be no promotion made to fill the
vacancy caused thereby, and that the rank
of General should be discontinued. Only
three men since the beginning of the CEN
tury have held the position, Scott, Grant
and Sherman. After the recent severe
attack of illness of Lieut-General Sheriden,
as mark of estem and honor, Congress
passed a special act re-establishing the
rank OF General and promoting there TO
the dying chleftain. A few short weeks
only did he enjoy the honor, the great
leveller," whose unwelcome appearance
was daily feared from the first, came at
last and claimed him as its own and now
the highest two ranks of the army, those
General and Lieut. General are vacant.
General Sheridan, the hero of Winchester
and the greatest cavalry general Of the
world, died on Monday last at Nonqultt
Mass. The remains were brought To

OUR Bu0K TABLE.

The midsummer holiday number of the
Cosmopolitan (for August) is the strongest
number eyer published by that bright
young magazine. The magazine has now
every appearance and assurance of success,
being managed by combination of pub
ishers who represent half million of
the same. There will be no change in its
style or policy except to make 1t still more
crisp and journslistic, keeping it entirely
distinct fl on the other magazines. There
certainly is room for such monthly, and
the people are bound to recognize its merits
because of It's unparalleled cheap price.

Washington and the funeral services were
held at 81. Matthews Roman Catholic
Church on Saturday, Cardinal Gibbons be-
ing present an1 assisting
The public Offices were all closed by
order Of the President. The funeral was
military one and: several companies from
each branch Of the service took part in the
services and marched in procession to the
National Cemetery at Arlington. where he
was left in the mids5 Of his former COM
rades.
A great deal has been written and said
about the beautiful appearance Of the
streets of Washington.
Within the last fifteen years more than
120 miles Of street have been lined with
shade trees but the effort seems to have
been more for immediate effect.than the
appearance of the city in fifty or hundred
years. About half the trees set out are
silver maple which grow rapidly and re-
quire little care, but like most rapidly
growing trees are very brittle and soon
decay. After the silver maple the most
numerous trees are the poplar, Eastwood
sycamore and Norway maple. These five
species will probably make up nine-tenths
of all the trees in the city, the remaining
tenth consisting mostly of sugar maple,
elms, tulip trees and various exotics.

week in delivering a speech against the

but there has been so much moisture in

retalitory article to Mr.. Rapsher's thesis on
