The Chicago Tribune advocates the sus-
nenslon Of the representation in Congress
Of the State of Nevada, and cites, as
precedent for that proposed action the
suspension of the rights of the Southern
States in this respect during the war OF
rho rebellion" A better precedent Tor
such an unconstitutional proceeding In
respect of Nevada would be the treat
ment OF the Southern States during the
reconstruction period. when, although. ac-
eording to the North. these States had
never been out of the Union, they were
denied representation in Congress, until,
I'm violation of the Constitution, they
were coerced into voting to amend the
Constitution. We would delight TO see
the attempt made to apply the precedent
TO Nevada. provided that attempt would
expose to the present generation the
damnable iniquity and utter inconsistency
of the Republican party, as exempiined
In the reconstruction programme.

Hanna is to lead the dance, his syiph-

The experience Of the Hampstead o.. ID
constables is that the tramp is not aito-
gether worthless. According TO the New
York Tribune, the Hampstead constabies
have made many an honest penny out OF
the gentlemen Of the road. The enterprise
Is conducted in this way: The constables
arrest tramps and take them to JAIL anu
as soon as they are released they are IN
vited back to Hampstead 10 be arrested
again. In this way the tramps secure
quarters for the winter and the justices
and constables derive benefit through
fees Strange as II may appear, the tax
payers Of Hampstead do not give the con-
stables credit for turning hitherto
worthless product TO some account. and
have started a movement to break up the
industry.

Ex-President Harrison announces that
he is not a candidate for election 10 the
Senate, and could not accept the position
If II were offered him. He seems to be
in dead-earnest. We are not at all sure
that he could get the place II he wished
but, we dare say, his party Will elect n
man of less ability than he possesses.
As a duck-hunter on the James river
Mr.. Harrison was a failure, but in other
respects he measured fairly up to the
standard of post-bellum Presidents.

What we need is a currency based on
such safe security. such collaterals as
our country has at hand. Pittsylvania

just as good as collateral, as far as they
go, as United States bonds. There are nun

Just as stable. and just as little subject

What this part Of the country needs
is some banking system that will permit
