beard extending from the droop of his
eyelashes to the solar plexus. In an
other section of the paper appeared an
alleged portrait of, the Hon. Joseph Can

The Economist is vainly seeking the
unobtainable. The people of the United
States will be largely swayed to the one
side or the other, upon the great questions
looming up in the horizon. by consld-

newspapers will be quite as susceptible to
the same influences. There will be in
dividual instances Of opposition to the
alignment dictated by the party leaders

exception essential to the making Of the

by a fearless and enlightened press as
