PERTINENT PARAGRAPHS
BY OUR SPECIAL CONTRIBUTOR
Reticence is n new role for Senator
Vest, and he must be initiating Achil-
les, pouting in his tent.
In the senate he makes "chin-
musicn enough for a dozen men, he is
a miser of ideas, but spendthrift of
words.
A drunkard in a public office should
be fired cut at once.
The people should support the
government, and not lie supineIy on
their backs, and expect the govern
ment to support them.
The only resources of the govern
ments are derived from taxes, in one
shape, or an other, collected from the
people, and it ls an innovation of
dangerous consequences, to reverse
the relative positions of the govern
ment and the people.
1t is the height of folly to take up
and espouse every new theory, that is
brouched, without examining into
the soundness of its foundations and
the consequences 10 flow from it.
One is captivated by theory be.
cause it is new, or Is cOuched in inn
posing and high sounding phrazes.
But most men are wholly governed
and led by the men about them.
Few men exercise their reason on
any occasion, or subject.
This is the fruitful source of both
private and public disaster, as, for
want of consulting their own reason
and Judgment, men adopt the widest
theories ia politics, and plunge into
all sorts of speculations, biindfolded.
An untried theory is a mere streak
of moonshine. No one can tell how
it will operate, until it is subjected to
practical test.
San Antonio already has a super
abundance of men, seeking work and
employment, and such men had bet
ter 60 elsewhere to seek work.
Tilden's will has been smashed
into smithereens and his relations
will have the handling of his mil
lions.
Rich men should use their money
charitably while they are in this
life.
1t is sorry epitaph on rich man,
that he could never make up his
mind to be charitable, while there
was breath in his body, and lived
the life of miser.
To a rich man, the bes towment of
q few hundred dollars a year, to inn
Fortunate beggars, falls far below
the mite of thousands of poor men,
in point of charity.
Charity is measured by mans pos
sessions.
Candidates for aldermen at large
are not prancing into the arena in
droves.
What causes them to chang fire"
in this unusual way?
Why could not Mr.. Denman "fill
the bill?" He is capable, honest
and faithful"-he is neither q dema-
gogue, nor parasite.
If he could serve, there is no ques-
ton but that he would represent the
people in an able and honest manner.
The people have it in their power to
elect him by simply uniting upon
him. That is the way to do il.

The Pittsburgh leaders were astonished
when told OF the Senator's declaration that he
was not a candidate for reelection. It is said
that Quay may not have meant fully
what he said. for it had been the gen.
eral opinion that tho conference was to
fix up the Legislature with view to Quay's
return to the Senate It is thought at least
that he will name tho candidate. and that It
may be Magee. To the question as to whether
Mr.. Blaine would be Presidential candidate.
