General Grosyenor's Newspaper.

General CHARLES HENRY GRosvENoR
continues his heroic efforts to make tho
people of his district know good thing
when they see it. His four page news
paper, Some Plain Facts Concerning
the Political Situation in the Eleventh
Congressional District" is perhaps mis-
named. 1t has pictures of General
GRosyENoR and of Uncle JOE CANNON,
two of the most beautiful facts in the
world The Generals S record as a states
man, however, is set forth plainly enough.
How can anybody read it and not be
white hot Grosvenorite?

A long list of grand achievements.
AS the Crooksrille Adrdnce says, the de-
feat Of man like this is to undermine
the very basic principles Of popular
government.
Pomfret, Conn, the site of ISRAEL
PUTNAM's farm and wolf hunt, is the
birthplace of General GRosvENoR. This
gives point to graceful passage in
Plain Facts:
In one Of Ills splendid essays RALPH WALDO
EMERSON makes remark In abou, the found q.
ers OF the greatest nation in all history being
fostered by wolf. How does 1t go7
Cast the bantng on tho rock
Suckle him with the she VOLTS teat''
Yet the Wolfng of Pomfret, when
they laid unholy hands on wool, smote
them hip and thigh"
IN this excellent summary Of the
deeds and words Of the great Athenian
there is one objectionable omission.
Nothing is said of his auspicious literary
career or of that household book Lives
of the Presidents.
In the interesting miscellany that ac-
companies the solid political matter of
Plain Facts" may be mentioned as
especially appropriate "Churchyard
Novelty" MILLIONS Burial Place and
The First Muf1s."
