non Wednesday, to take in the railroad

work which was being done. The track
was laid to within one mile of Lennon and.
to within one.half mile of the swamp

ing. Two miles south of Lennon the
steam shovel was at work in the gravel pit

In an elaborate article in the Forum for
July Senator George F. Edmunds will re-
view the present political situation. He
points out the reasons why he is Republi,
can, and in effect constructs q political
platform for this campaign. He goes over
the history of the two parties, and shows
that the two principal facts in Democratic
history are d tendency to free trade and
responsibility for the rebellion; and he re.
calls the criticism made of Republican
government by the Democrats four years
ago-that Republican administrations had
been corrupt; and the chief promise of the
Democrats-that there should be honest
civil service reform. The Republican
service has not been found corrupt, and
practically all Republican office holders
have been replaced by Democrats.

wanted, and they will farther notice that
on such occasions he always acquits him.

writer of rare ability and we have often
wondered while reading his articles in the

that be may transfer him from pulpit to
an editorial chair.
