Senator Ingalls, on the lst inst took
occasion to 90 into the record of Sen
ator Voorhees,, Of Indiana, the tall
sycamore of the Wabash. MIR. Ingalls,
remarks were brought Oh by an attack
made on him by Voorhees, few days
previously. The great Indiana orator
before Ingalls, got through with him
was reduced to the extremity of using
the word Liar. Liar, and this in the
face of letters and other testimony
which proved the truth of every word
uttered by Mr.. Ingalls,. That Voor-
hees was disloyal to the government
during the war for its preservation,
there is no doubt, and no man bt tier
deserved the severe chastisement in
fiicted by our gifted senator than the
peace sneak Voorhees,. Hereafter it
is hoped that such rs he will not at
tempt TO foist the example of their
war records up as models Of patriot.

The difference between the republi-
can and democratic parties in the mat
ter of available Presidential timber is
just this: the republican party has at
least a half dozen candidates all OF
whom are men of brains, integrity and
conceded fitness; the democratic par
ty, by its blind devotion to Mr.. Cleve-
land, man whom that party does not
want to renominate, but is compelled
to do 50 by the pressure of circum-
stances, and whose support is OF the
mechanical rather than the spOntan-
eOus and enthusiastic sort. squarcly

nomination for Presidency at this
time it dares to risk.-ChampiOn.

SENSIBLE.

We see that great many OF the
newspaper boys are devoting much
valuable space to booming various
northwest men for places on the state
ticket. Now let the Register put in
its little word; we have been q friend
of Mr.. r. NJ. Picker for good many
wears. and believe that he would make
a good lieutenant governor, but OF
what benefit would it be to the north
west to furnish the lieutenant govern
or? He has but little If any infu-
encc, and aside from presiding over
the senate, he is of but very little i'm
portance. Now everybody comedies
that this section must have one of the
best offices. but no one believes in her
ability to get more than one. Such
being the case, why would it not be
good policy for rs to strike for an Of
fee whose holder could be Of some
benefit to us, such as the Secretary of
State ? Mr.. Norton, Of Beloit, is very
fayorably mentioned in connection
with that Office, and We believe that
Hhe northwest can do no better than
20 send her men to Topeka instructed
for m.-Blakeman Register.

FEW REASONS Why.

l
The Emporia Republican, in answer
tn the query of a Democratic exchange
..Whv should Blaine or his friends
hone to win now any more than four
wears ago." gives these excellent rea-
sons:
In the first place. Cleveland has
made a record sufficient to condemn
him of itself. 1t is not necessary to
60 into particulars. The country is
familiar with sham civil service re-
form, disgracefully weak foreign
policy. the elevation of unrcpentant
traitors to the highest positions, the
rebel flag order, the wanton insults to
veteran soldiers of the Union, the con-
tinual playing into the hands of the
Wall street capitalists, ETC., etc. Such
a record is one sound reasOn-a very
sound reason.
And then the tight this year is to
be waged, partially at least, upon the
industrial issue-an issue that the
! Democrats have never before. in re-
cent wears. allowed themselves to be
thoroughly committed upon. Thanks
to laundering president, they have
been forced into corner this year,
from which it is impossible to escape
| If Hancock was beaten for consider
Ing the tariff merely local issue, :"
what will happen to Cleveland who
makes undisguised war upon it?
Then the indications this year-the
elections in all the doubtful States
and through the Northern States gen.
orally, are far more hopeful than at
this time four years ago; then every
thing BODIED disaster for Republicans;
now everything points to victory. The
party is exuberant, enthusiastic and
eager for the fray.
The combination of unfortunate az
cidents that turned the scale in 1884
cannot possibly occur again. Bur-
chard has turned Democrat, if he ever
wss nything else), the ST. Johnites
have been exposed as Democratic al
lies and dwindled in numbers, the
Mugwumps have turned free traders,
and will lose their following in the
only states where they amount to any
thing.
And last hut not least, the change
the people were deluded into believing
the country needed, and by which an
era of unexampled prosperity was to
be ushered in, has utterly failed to
benefit anybody but lot of lean,
lank, hungry ofiice-seekers; the mer-
chant, the farmer and the laboring
man are in as bad if not worse cOndi-
ton than they were four years ago.
The change has proven itself a snare
and a fraud, and the people are dis
gusted aud heartily tired of it.
Yes, indeed, reasons for Republican
success this year are as plentiful as
apple blossoms.

Meeting of the Anti-Saioon Repub.
lican Convention.

NEW YORK, May 2.-The second
national Republican anti-saloon con-
vention began this morning in the hall
of the Cooper Institute. Delegates
from all of the states were in atten-
dance. The meeting was called to Or
der by Chairman Griffin at IL a. M,
who introduced DIR. S. S. Forest, of
Alabama, who opened proceedings by
offering prayer.
Chairman Griffin followed by an
opening address, in the course of
which he said that the only way in
which this movement can be success
full is to have the help of others that
are hot now in the movement. He al
so said:
There are not enough radical anti
saloon Republicans in this county.
Seventy.five per cent Of the Republic
cans are opposed to saloons and. con
slider it a paramount question. Fiji
teen per cent care more for political
movements than the sal0on question.
These fifteen per cent don't care about
the liquor question whatever. There
is only ten per cent in favor of sa-
looms.
1t is also known that only one-half
of one per cent of the Republican par
ty are in the liquor business. We
hope that by the action of the next
national convention this half of one
per cent will be eliminated from that
business.
What we want to reach in this con-
ference is to take from and separate
from saloon power every one of these
men whose intellects can be reached
and whose hearts can be touched.

No Cards.

a very interesting collection of the BUSH
ness cards of the eminent lawyers of the
country. It contains the cards of Will
liam NJ. Evarts, Benjamin F. Butler,
Horace Blnney, and others of equal
promiace. A day or two ago, wishing
to add TO his collection, he made his way
into the office of Ex-Attorney-Genera
Benjamin Harris Brewster ON Walnut

t;nsta .sa US. on Little Islands.


Castaways who suffer for months on
uninhabited islands are not so few in
number as might be supposed. The
English newspapers announced a few
weeks ago that a vessel was to be sent to
the Crozet Islands in the Indian Ocea-~
almost within sight of Antarctic ice, to
rescue some shipwrecked people who
are supposed to be there. Many of these
far Southern islands are out of the track
of ships, and castaways might live on
them for years without being discovered.
The Crozets are famouAas the uninvit-
ing home of several sh wrecked crews.
A while ago the survi prs of the sealer
Strathmore reached the Crozets, where
they lived for many weeks o. penguin
flesh and eggs before a vessel luckily
happened to heave in sight.
A few weeks ago there arrived in
England eight of the crew of the Derry
Castle, which was wrecked off the
Auckland Islands, south of New zea-
land. Theyshad q hard struggle for life
during the three months they spent on
the islands. Shell fish and sea animals
were all their food, and q regular diet
of oysters paIIed on their appetites long
'~aefore they escaped it. There was tim.
Der in abundance, but the poor fellows
had no matches, and they had to eat
their food raw until one of them hap
pened TO find a cartridge in his pocket.
They were thus able to kindle d fire,
whose flames were fed night and DAP
during the remainder of their stay in
this insular prison. One day they found
q bottle Of salt, which proved a most
desirable adjunct to their oysters.
The salt is supposed to have been left
there by the crew Of the General Grant,
who were cast away on these islands
twenty years ago, and lived there many
months. They had saved some creatuss
comforts from their ship, which rem.
dered existence more endurable. Their
exile was far longer than that Of til
crew Of the Derry Castle. whose signal
ires were observed after they had lived
three months on fish.
Among the most terrible Of ship,
wrecks are those of the whalers and
sealers in Behring Sea and the Arctic
Ocean. It il probable that soma OF
these unfortunates reach land enly to
perish in the desolate regions Of the
