Senator Kenna, of West Virginia, took
John Sherman in hand and completely an
initiated that alleged statesman. Mr.. Ken
ma does not talk a great deal, but when he
does he always has something to say. Mr.
Sherman had this fact very lucidly ex-
pounded to him last Thursday. The exec
rating won't reform Sherman, of course
but it shows once more what an utter y
shallow and double-faced partisan the
Mansfield party is.

Some Comments by Friend aud Foe on
the Effort.
Ner YORK Star. iDem.l


The speech of Senator Kenna, of West
Virginia, gives great annoyance to the Re-
publican organs, as it obviously did to SEN
ator Sherman. They call Mr. Kenna pre-
sumptuous and offensive for discharging bis
duty to the country by exposing the incon-
sistency and tergiversation of Sherman:
attack upon the President. Mr. Sherman
was the aggressor in the controversy. The
President could not himself repel the gross
ly unfair assault made upon him, and the
West Virginia Senator discharged an i'm
perative duty with distinguished courage
and ability in showing plainly, but without
bitterness, that Senator Sherman's diatribe
was as unfair and uncandid as it was incor-
rect

We learn from the Martinsburg Statesman
that Mrs. w. B. Colston, wife of editor Col
ston, had narrow escape from serious il
not fatal injury from burning on last Mon
day night. She was looking for some arti-
Gle in her wardrobe and holding 4 light
when her hair caught fire and in a second
was in blaze. One of her daughters for
tunately was in the room and extinguished
the flames by throwing a shawl oyer her
head. Mrs. Colston escaped with slight
burn on her face, and losing but little of
her hair Our friend Capt Colston, is yet
ahead of his beloved wife. He has had
more than one hair breadth escape
