ORD.

the facts relative to the bribery and
fraud by which Mr.. Ingalls, was re-
elected to the United States senate in
1879. twill be remembered that an
investigation of the affair was Or
dered by the legislature by which
this bribery and fraud were exposed.
The following transcript from the
senate journal will show that Major
Morrill, was opposed to the investi-
CATION and voted to have it sup
pressed. Perhaps his present sup
porters would like to explain why he
did this.
Perhaps they can tell us also why
he moved the indefinite postpone
ment of the resolution in relation to
railroads maintaining their general
offices in the state; and why he voted
as he did upon the resolution memo
rializing congress upon financial que;-
tions. There is now an opportunity
for explanations.

THE CITIZEN
The Sum Of Living.

IF you have a friend worth loving,
Love him. Yes, and let him know
That you love him, ere liie's evening
Tinge his brow with sunset glow.
WHY should good words ne'er be said
OF friend till he is deadf
If you hear a song that thrills you,
Sung by any child of song,
Praise it. Do not let the singer
Wait deserved praises long.
Why should one who thrills your heart
Lack the Joy you may impsrtf
If You hear a prayer that moves you
By its humble, pleading tone,
Join it. Do not let the seeker
Bow before his God alone.
Why should not your brother share
The strength of 'two or three" in prayer
If you see the hot tears falling
From q brothers weeping eyes,
Share them; and by kindly sharing
Own your kindship with the skies.
Why should any one be glad
When brothers heart is sadf
If a silvery laugh goes rippling
Through the sunshine on his lace,
Share it. 'Tis the wise mans saying
For both grief and Joy place.
There's health and goodness IN the mirtn
In which an honest laugh has birth.
| If you work is made more easy
By a friendly, helping hand,
Say so. Speak out brave and truly,
Ere the darkness veil the land,
| Should brother workman dear
| Falter for word of cheerf
Scatter thus your seeds of kindness,
All enriching as you go
| Leave them. Trust the Harvest Giver,
| He will make each seed to grow.
| So, until its happy end,
| Your life shall, never lack friend

the question of what this subtle power is.
We see its effects on every side, but the
