passengers should step on AZ once the

a wAYsIDE CALVARY.

The calven Christ hangs gaunt and grim
Beneath his blue Picatdlan skies,
And piteous, perchance 10 him
seems every man that lives and dies.
Here, hid from hate of alien eyes.
Two hundred Prussians sleep, they say,
Beneath the cross whose shadow Hes
Athwart the road 10 Catelet.
MID foes they slumber unafraid,
Made whole by Death, the cunning leeoh
And near the long white roadway laid,
BY his cold arms, beyond all reach
OF "Heimweh" paugs or strangers speech,
OF curse or blessing naught reck they,
OF SHOWS that hide nor suns that bleach
The dusty road TO Catelet.
OF garlands laid or blossoms spread
bare;
But thin grass oreeps above the dead,
And pallid peoples fiutter fair,
And hing their drowsy treasures there
Beneath the symbol, stark and gray,
That hath the strangers In It's care
Beside the road 70 Catelet.

WASHINGTON, JUNE 5, 1883.

~ Hon, GEORGE c. GoRuAM's contri-
button to the political history of the
country in Yesterdays New York
Hcrod was the subject of much COM
mcnt in political circles at Washing
ton, and was read with absorbing in
terest by statesmen Of all parties. 1t
is a graphic statement in Governor
Gorham's vigorous style of the history
which led to the estrangement be-
tween Conkling and Blaine and the
true inwardness of the alleged con-
spiracy between Garfield, Blaine,
Whitelaw Reid, Depew and other
Republican leaders TO cripple Conk-
ling's political influence. There is
little doubt but what this revival Of
the smoldering fire of antagonism be-
tween the Stalwart and Half-breed
factions of the "Grand Old Party"
will have considerable effect in the se-
lection of candidates by the Chicago
Convention. The Republican ticket
must be one which will harmonic
the party, otherwise Governor Cor
hams stirring retrospect of a memo
rable episode in our political history
may be accepted as an alarming
danger signal.

ALTHOUGH THE Democratic Sem

two exceptions, do not regard the
candidacy of Mr.. Thurman for Vice
President with much favor, and in
fact are somewhat surprised that he
should consent TO enter the field,
there is one Republican Senator, of
whom we may assert with. entire con-
iidence, that he will support the hind
end of the ticket with great enthu-
siasm. The relations between Mr..
Edmunds and Mr.. Thurman are of
such intimate friendship and long
standing that the Vermont Senator

IT Is NOW WELL KNOWN that the
Cogswell fountain was presented to the
city iRthe utmost good faith and dis
interestedness; and not, as many peo-
Pile have supposed, in an ostentatious
and advertising spirit, The wealthy
donor has made several similar gifts
that have been properly appreciated
elsewhere, and we cannot see why DR..
Cogswell is not entitled to a little bet
ter treatment here. In its present con-
dition the fountain, though in itself a
handsome design, is neither orna-
mental nor useful, and has become
nothing but rallying point for loafers.
We would therefore suggest, if il can
not be utilized for its original purpose
which is not perhaps advisable, that
it be removed to some more suitable
location, supplied with hydrant water,
reconstructed in such a way as to be
accessible to man and beast, with
spigots and drinking troughs, and
turned over to the Washington HIu-
name Society. The expense would
not be great, but the object in view is
worthy Of liberal appropriation and
would no doubt be esteemed by the
San Francisco millionaire as the best
possible use to be made of his gen.
erous benefaction.

The COLUMBUS (O9 journal suggests
that the Chicago Convention bring
forward its best and ablest man, and
one who his opponents will be COM

President. The suggestion is ad-
mirable, but is that kind of a man
now living in the Republican party
His opponents killed him off early.
EVEN WITH THE best of bakers at
times their cake turns out to be
''dough;" and such would seem to
have been the experience of General
Boulanger in the Chamber of Depu-
ties at Paris yesterday. Certain it is
that considering the ELUSIVE character
of his recent campaign boom his
drop is very pronounced, the mo-
ton which he introduced for re-
vision of the constitution being de-
feated by the decisive vote of 377 to
1S6. France may not be unwilling to
have her constitution revised in the
interest Of the people against what
Boulanger calls the parliamentary
cliques," but she is evidently not in
the mood to dispense with Presi-
dent for the sake of getting dicta-
tor, nor to exchange Republication
for Cicsarism.
