The salutations about these times are

My Representative usually arrives on

creasing. Everybody acknowledged that
it has done more for our cause in the state

our honest wish is, that it may forever
prosper and bear fruit hundred fold.
Politics is in the air, and great revo-
luton is at hand. A revolution which
will turn over new leaf in the life Of our
country. That we all know. But how to
go at it, so as to bring a sure and easy
victory, that's the question. Some pro-

NATIONAL FOOTBALL GAME.

Editor Representative.
While Minneapolis, and other consid-
cradle towns have their football teams
and other sporting organizations, it is
instructive to note the superior work now
being done in that line by the football
team installed at the National Capital.
The prominence in social and political life
of the incorporators gives to the Wash
ington plant prominent position among
the contestants, in intellectual and ath-
letic exercises; and the gate receipts
amply evidence the deserved popularity
of the principal pitchers These receipts
are impartially divided between the con-
testants after paying incidental expenses.
Let the victory be on one side or the
other, neither suffers in pocket,-and as
result the rivalry is of a most amicable
character.
The game of football played just before
Christmas was amusing if not instruct
i've. When that kicking acrobat, Grover
Cleveland, unexpectedly SHE'D the Vene-
zuelan football into the grid-iron, the
opposite side for the moment was para
lyZed; but no sooner had that profession
al kicker. Bill Chandler inhaled his sec
ond wind, than fast and furious the game
opened up to the intense amusement and
delight of vast amphitheater crowded
with spectators. There was an awful
bling over each other in tangled confusion
to the imminent risk of life and limb. 1t
seemed more Of a love feast than a strug
gle for a goal; as the contest waXed hot
Bill Chandler, forgetting the ball and
all else made a rush for Grover, and
throwing his arms around Growers neck,
both went to grass and rolled and tum-
bed over each other in loving embraces
to the tremulous delight Of the bewildered
spectators. Such unaffected and unex-
pected affection soon became contagious,
and before time was called, the tears
were interlocked and fused, paving the
grass and gravel, and shedding tears of
joy in a general embrace. The phenom-
email feature Of the affair consisted of the
fact that neither side knew how this I'M
expected demonstration arose or what it
was all about.
In the scramble, the ball was entirely
lost sight of, and yet neither side has
scored. The contest may be renewed if
the ball has not been punctured: but it
is gravely suspected that when found, as
it no doubt will be- it's rotundity. like
that of the boss kcker's, will be missing
on account Of the absence of perfumed
and volatile, but not noiseless, wind.
Respectfully,
P. S.-If, at the close of the game,
Grover and Bill can get hold of the caudal
appendage Of Venezuelan goat, it will
answer all the purposes of the tip end
of the tail of the metaphorical British
lon w. w.
