In tho minds of many people Senator
ingalls, failed to justify his recent attack on
Gems. Hancock and Mcclellan. Mr.. f..
English of Philadelphia, who is Republi-
can and an ex-Union soldier, writes to the
Fress Of that city that he protests against
the scandalous remarks of Mr.. Ingalls,,
whether they were intended to refer to the
distinguished generals as soldiers or as clti-
zens. MIR. English regards the second attack
as being as malicious and uncalled for as the
first, ana he is right. The Kansas Senator
did not have the manliness to make a
straightforward confession Of his error but
offered an explanation that did not explain,
and then proceeded to attack again the
memories of the men who were leading the
fight while he stayed behind to guard hen
roosts.

Congressman Forney represents a coal
and iron district in Alabama, and has here
tofore voted with Mr.. Randall on the tariff,
but he told Chicago Nelos correspondent
the other day that he would vote for the
Mills bill. While the bill does not suit him
in every particular, he regards it of the
highest Importance that some measure
should be passed to reduce the surplus, and
IS willing to abandon some of his theories
in order that this may be done. Mr..
Forney is a man of sense.

The Boston Globe calls Gen. Banks the
perpetual candidate" and says he will
hardly get back to Congress. There are
several candidates in his district, it says
who can beat him, and one of them will be
nominated. 1t is said that Gen. Banks has
belonged to more parties and held more
Offices than any other man in Massachusetts.
His Office holding experience, however
seems to have whetted his appetite, and at
a ripe old age he is as thirsty for. public pap
as he was forty years ago.

The Two Parties.


From the Boston Globe (Dent.)
The Democratic party to-day is generated by
young men, and its rank and file is made up of
the bright and progressive men of the nation.
Not SO with the Republican party. All its
leaders, with few notable exceptions, are old
men whose careers belong to the past and who
see for themselves only the grave in the near
future. Read the roster of the two parties, and
look in at the conventions and clubs.

The Beautiful Girls.

From the PHILADELPHIA Times.
Oh the girls, the beautiful girlsl
With Laughing eyes and teeth Of pearls;
How they bewitch us by day and by night,
Causing our hearts to beat with delight;
Pleasing,
Teasing,
Charming creatures
Bewitching smile Frightening their features;
How can they deceive u.s. as oftimes they do,
With soft glowing words and eyes of bright
How dearly we prize the beautiful girls,
Far above rubies, diamonds or pearlsl
How delightful we feel whenever we meet
The pretty loved ones on the busy street,
Walking,
Talking
Smiling so sweet.
Dressed in dresses made eXquisitely neati
But it beats the Old Harry what price
We mon have to pay for those dresses so nice.
Oh, the girls the beautiful girls!
How we love to finger their dancing curls;
How we love to see roses fresh and fair,
Bloom on their cheeks while Love nestles
there;
Cooling,

Evening hours away,
Little dreaming of the coming day.

The New York Evening Post thinks the
bloody shirt policy which Senators Sher-
man and Chandler are advocating had
something to do with the action of the
Georgia Democrats on the tariff. 1t saws:
1.-THE continued threats by leading Republi-
cans to resume the policy of Federal inter
ference in the affairs of Southern States in
case their party is restored to power has
made the men VINO have hitherto voted the
Democratic ticket in Georgia, and who
really disagree radically on the tariff issue,
again sohd.' In this the Post is mistaken
The bloody shirt policy may cause Demo
cratic factions TO unite in elections, but the
action of the party in Georgia in regard to
the tariff was due to an overwhelming SEN
timent i'll favor of tariff reform-a senti-
ment which a handful of protectionists
could not stand out against and into which
Senator Chambers threats did not enter.

An Atlanta correspondent, who evidently
is not as well informed as he ought to be-
sent dispatch from that city day or two
ago in which he predicted that the Prohi-
bitionists would capture the Democratic
convention which meets there on Wednes-
day. He says: 1.-The State temperance As
ISOLATION meets tho day before the Demo-
cratic Convention in Atlanta, and probably
majority of the first convention are also
members of the second. 1t is the purpose of
the State Temperance Association to pro-
claim in favor of constitutional and statu-
tory prohibition. They will place this upon
high moral grounds, which cannot be set
aside for party exigencies. When the
Democratic Convention is called to order,
it will find itself in the hands
of these same men, who will seek to commit
it to the same course. They hope to be
strong enough to control the convention, in
which event they will instruct the delegates
to st. Louis to oppose to the bitter end the
adoption of the usual anti-sumptuary reso-
luton in the Democratic nationah platform.
This will force the question on its merits
before the national convention and compel
it to take sides one way or the other.n
This sort of stuff may be interesting where
the truth respecting the part that the tenn
perance question is playing in politics in
Georgia is not known, but in this State it
will hardly be given a second thought 1t
has too little foundation to be entitled to
serious consideration. The correspondent
with whom it originated ought to take a
few lessons from Joe Mulhatton.

A CENSUS Of dogs was taken in France a short
time ago, and already a contingent Of these in
telligent animals has been sent for training To
the Fifty third regiment, in garrison at Mont
pellier. The experiment which is being made
in the discipline Of the dog for military pur.
poses is attracting notice in the south of France
but so far no advance has been effected beyond
mere preliminaries. AS yet the new recruits
have not become accustomed to their masters
and when they are marched out with the CORPS
each il led by soldier, to whom its care is
specially intrusted. The party walk immedi.
ately beAind the band, but it is remarked that
the dogs have not quite overcome the tempta
tionto bark whenever the trumpet blares and
the beat ot the drum is heard. Now and then
one is halted aud then let loose to retoin the
main body but on no account are the dogs
allowed out of barracks except on these oc.
casions. They are to be trained to distinguish
soldier from civilian, and when their edu.
cation is complete. they will be expected to un.
derstand TO the fullest extent the meaning OF
the words esprit de corps The authorities have
been spared the trouble Of determining the cut
and color of the uniforms which they would
wear, nature having rendered such artificial dis
tinctions superfiuous, but each dog has been
supplied with a collar bearing the number of
the regiment, and with belt to which two
pockets in leather are affixed for the reception
OF notes, orders, dispatches and other military.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

San Francisco, Chicago. St. Louis and New
 York All Looking for the Choice.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 23-The recent discus sion of the probable selection of place for holding the Democratic national convention, has agitated the various applicants consider ably, and the struggle for the prize bids fair to begin some weeks before the meeting of the national committee, Feb. p. The California delegation are working hard to get the con vention at San Francisco, and declare that the distance shall not be permitted to increase the cost to the delegates. Representative Biggs says that for his part he is willing to pay the travelling expenses of all the delegates and give them the freedom of the city. There will be delegation from California on here a little later, and he thinks they will make the proposition he suggests.
 Chicagoans in the city are very confident that they will again secure the prize while the men of Cincinnati and St. Louis maintain that they mean business, and if Chicago can beat them this time it will not be because they are not prepared to be liberal in offering in- ducements. The New York men, however, maintain Chat the metropolis is the only proper place for the holding of this years convention, and boldly assert that that city will be chosen with scarcely a dissenting voice.
 Considerable pressure has been brought to bear upon the executive to have him express a preference but he has not yet done so. He will undoubtedly leave the matter to his friends, and be satisfied with their deterinina-

Death of Walter M.e Gibson at San Fral

Death of Walter M. Gibson at San Fran
 cisco.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Jan: 23-Walter M Glib son, ex-prime minister of the Hawaiian Islands under King Kalakaua, died in this city Saturday evening of consumption. His health has been gradually failing since his ar rival here ill August last The body will be embalmed and taken to Honolulu for inter ment.
 Until the revolution of June last MT. Gih- son played an important part in the affairs of the Hawaiian Islands. He had made and unmade ministries, and it is said, aimed at becoming himself the head of the kingdom after having guided its affairs as premier for years. But on the last day of June, 1887, the Honolulu Rifles were protecting him against mob of native Hawaiians. King Kalakaua was virtually dethroned by the same revolu- tion, though he was retained as figure head upon the throne. Gibson was arrested, held in jail few days and then released upon the condition that he leave the islands. He did so, reaching San Francisco Aug 6.
 Up to the time that Gibson had been the master spirit, the brains of Kalakaua's gov ernment, the actual dictator of the destinies of Hawaii, the real power behind the throne. He was not a member of any secret society or of a church, both of which were powerful in- auences on the island. He held his ambitious sway through sheer force of intellect He consistently refused to be knighted or decor ated. He came to California worn out old man, glad the revolution had come to give him a rest. But 1t came too late. ss--s4
