way he used his Ratchet upon the Kan

Lets see now, there's Der Wheel
er-he ought to have something, in
the way of a nomination, we mean.
What are you a-layin' for Brer
Wheeler? Don't be afraid to speak
right out in meetin', Doctor the 9th
ers do it, you know.

The New York World published its
fifth anniversary number last Thurs
day, removing in honor of the occa-
sion the bushel under which it is ac-
customed to keep its light hid. The
Worlds wonderful success justifes oc-
casional self congratulation.

Senator Stewart is out in a very
light gray spring suit, which, togeth-
er with his white hair and beard, give
him venerable appearance. It is
related that little child upon accom-
panying her mother into one of the
Senate galleries looked at, Senator
Stewart and exclaimed joyously: "Oh,
mamma, there's Kriss Kringle."

The copyright bill has passed the
Senate, only ten votes being cast in
opposition to it. Such smooth sailing
is rot expected for the measure at the
other end of the Capitol, but it is
hoped and believed hatin spite of the
lateness in the session the House will
find time to indorse the bill by good
majority, and thus encourage honest
dealing and the growth of American
literature.
The Republican Convention of
Kansas has instructed its delegates to
secure the nomination by the National
Convention of Ingalls, to be Presi-
dent. Blaine is feebly mentioned as
second choice and last resort, but it
is to ingalls,, the defamer of Mcclellan
and Hancock, the apologist for his
own outrages on the sacred memories
of the gallant dead, that the heart of
the Kansas Republican goes out.

The New Jersey boom for William
Walter Phelps is companion piece
to the Kansas nomination of Ingalls,.
Widely different in personal charac-
teristics and experience, the Jersey
man is almost as unlikely to attain
the Presidency as the man from Kan

vorite sons turning up in all direc-
tions is so great that it is almost i'm
possible to follow the figures as the
party kaleidoscope is moved.

Col. Ingersoll said III his eulogy
nearly everything pleasant that could
be suggested of Roscoe Conkling, and
did full justice to his great qualities,
but heo..mitted to present the browning
evidence OF pre-eminence which is
furnished by Conkllrg's recently-pub-
llshed will. A lawyer who leaves a
short, simple and valid will is as great
a rarity as the combination of shrewd
politician, brilliant orator and honest
man which Colonel Ingersoll portray
ed and eulogized.

Hon Jno. S. Henderson is one O.
Gods noblest works,-an honest man
Listen to his words, written to THE
SENTINEL "Since I haze been IN
Congress no Republican has been aoil
ling to poork for the repeal or msoaifca
ton of the internal revenue laa0s. ;
Brer Brewer passes as an advocate
of revenue repeal. Mr.. Henderson,
| emphatic sentence @no Republican,
&c. certainly includes Brer Brewer
| It looks as if Brer Brewers little bill
was humbug after all and that his
whale-like efforts were all blow
Let him spout
