A Si 1 nation. There ip an uncompromisingly wild and weired hope holding a death grip npon the vitals of the Republican party .to day. James G. Blaine has said that, if the Republican congress continues its course, there will not be /bund in the party' a man fool enough «p accept the nomination to make the race in • 1892. McKinley and Reed have never been properly considered in the race and Harrison has not (friends enough left in the U. S- to re-' nominate him. The recent avalanch .that swept the country wiped out as yvith a sponge every hope the Republican party had of going before the people to fight the campaign on its yrcord. The Republicans must find pew schemes .and new methods, for .schemes and methods forgettingvotcs .they must rely on. They picked (themselves to pieces with the McKinley bill; the Force bill has already made another sore on their body, and, ff it becomes a law, will be so cancerous that many of their voters will desert them altogether; and reciprocity, if they should adopt that, will lean >o far towards Democracy that many of their weaker members will let Roosts and fall among the hateful Baurbons and vote with the masses ^gainst the classes. In fine, the Itejpubllican party is just now passing through the crucible, and the leaders do not know whether they will not all come out dross. (Occasion ally a predjudiced politician will thipw up to some friend .of Dan C. Ashby's that they (the Republicans) .beat tllie‘:pet of the Democratic party." True, Mr. Ashby has stood well with the party; and., with all reasonable men. he still holds great respect. These politicians who >qek to east approbrium on the fair .Jnttne of Mr* Ashby, do so without a host. First, they do not consider the piclhods that were used against him, B:h was the unprincipled hat his opponent was acing, and which, it seems h! grounds for beleiving; sly, their attention should cailed to the fact that the party iny Pike county j>eat every soldier on their own ticket 4n onler to beat one soldier on the Democratic ticket—a soldier, too, jvitli one leg in the grave. Cleveland has never expressed (iis views on the coinage of silver .over his own signature. Senator Bf Mo., says that during Clevehiid year as president, Mantor >, at one time editor of the New World, went to Sec. Manning t him to sign a message to cotiipposing the coinage of silver, and mat it was sent tocongress withput being showed to the President or fnty of the members of the cabinet. Senator Vest says that Cleveland al(erwards excused Manning on the grounds of being very ill. An article from Mr. Cleveland’s pen, just at tiiis r(line, on the ex-President’s position as regards coinage of silver, would be Very interesting to the people.

. _ THE GIRL ABOUT TOWN. I Plus For Ewrytita*, and Knrjtoing ii its Place. Smm Practical Remarks ta Her Closiag Wards.

Here I am again, like mast of my sex, the more I’m not wanted the, more I’m ever present! I will, after this introductory excuse, poke the bell-clapper of my mouth iuto your ears, and make you hear me, whether you waut to or not. Did you ever stop to think of it—society is all right-side up in some things, and all wrong-side up in some other things. Who ever saw a man who did not love virtue—in his own family, hut cared not a fig for that saving social quality in most; of his neighbors? Now, .here is the right side-up with his own, and the wrong-side up with his own neighbor. I cm told by the philosopher that evil must exist as well as good; that the one cannot exist without the other. This mar bc true. But let me tell you that there are some things I would not have created, diseases, for instance, and siuce I come to think of it, they uever were created, but are a co-inci-dent, a chemical result as scientific iu their natures as all the remedies that must destroy them. But this philosophical water is too deep for me. I shall therefore stay out of it, lest I drowned what little 1 do know. Let aie speak of our lectures and shows for the coining winter. There will be a sqriefe of six lectures in Petersburg/’ the first on next Tuesday even;ihg by the renowned lecturer, Dr. M. L. Haines. No argument is necessary to prove the great good that will conic from the lectures, and I will plainly remark that, whoever fails to sec the good in these lectures and to profit by them is to be pittied indeed. As to the shows, some are good and some are bad. But let ns not condemn all because some arc bad. How is the human race to cultivate all kinds of genius if any class of the arts are omitted. The rule should be: Patronize the good, but give, the bad the cold shoulder. A few days ago I had the occasion to ride the iron horse on the railroad that passes through tiiis town. When I entered the ears I thought I must be going to, a picnic, atd indeed it was an outfit for a picnic car, for the dirt and hard seats were not inviting of themselves, and I thought nothing short of a picnic or some other inducement of a pleasant nature could detract from the hardship of snch a trip on the cars. It seems to me that the people along the line should petition to the railroad authorities for belter accommodations especially/or passengers. A friend spoke to the editor of the’ Democrat a few days ago about an assertion that was made iu the Petersburg Pres* to the effect that Pike county unmercifully laid out Green Smith in the last election, and that it other counties had done as did Pike, Smith would haTe been greatly defeated. By examining the returns we find that t(ie Pro* was grossly iu error. Smith was the foremost mau on the Democratic State ticket in Pike county, and was the only Democrat on the Stale ticket whom the county gave a plurality. The Prut editor evidently “went off half cocked" in his assertion.

“Acoidekts happen,” is the way it is jrenera|ly put. It is not so. Ac* citterns upc <l'f result of carelessness sihI hazzardous attempts. The very sad accident that hefel - young Cole* Ilian, as descri bed ejaesftere,>wi« the restiij of just such an attempt. Boys that never go about the trains, play hooky, chew, sjpoke, climb trees, or carry dangerous fire arms, &c-f carelessly, will find themselves on llm sale title pf I nek. Utruai.iCAN papers charge the recent Republican defeat, fq the “stay at home vote.” ^nd tjiat is correct. Thousands of Republicans left the Republican parly , and hare .Joined the Democratic ranks.

Before this teller will be in type the tart session of the tfty-aecond Congress will bare begun i» work. Much ha* been written, by way of prelude, as to the probable policy of each political party, and at tart we are to find in the sequel the truth or iateity of the predictions. One thing, in this connection, should be remembered. The same issuer are presented and the same men guide the destiny of each political party. There It. no evidence that Beed and MeKintey and their followers have been taught a lesson by tbs recent upheaval. They are partisan* of the stricter sort with all thoughts bent on party Instead of country, and now they know that an abandonment (if their previous lines of personal procedure means personal rota. Hence they come together to follow their laid out course to the bitter end. The cry with them is "the people must be educated.” The Democratic policy is easily shown. Good government; economy In public expenditures; necessary legislation tor the people and none tor partisan purposes or advantage. Will there be a fight? Yes, just as certain as a bully and u gentleman have to decide the course of individual conduct. It is not toy purpose, though, now to specialize or to continue prophecy, but simple to relate conditions and direct attention to existing phases of political positions. It will now be my duty to record events ae they happen. Thanksgiving day was enjoyed in Washington official life just the same as in the humbler homes throughout the country. Quiet family re-unions were the order from ITeoklent Harrison down. At the White House it took is thirty pound turkey to go around, the stew ard evidently not believing that “the smaller the turkey the sweeter the meat.” This steward of the White House is the one presidential domestic whose name ia on the government payrolls. He gets two thousand a year. The cabinet families also ate the turkey in quiet and privacy. The only people who did uot pass a real satisfactory Thanksgiving were those members of Congress who did not bring their families with them. One ol them said to me that he dined with nobody but the “nigger”—looking on. There is not much excitement here as yet, incident to the meeting of Congress. Members come and quietly drop into their former haunts ns naturally and ns noiselessly as if they bad not been away. No Congressional officers are to be chosen; hence there is no wire pulling. Politics Beem to

have been left behind or else ineatei nas in the past month been provided to satiety. Ail the big men of both parties are here. Reed. McKinley, Cannon, Henderson and Gear, of Iowa, for the Republicans. Mills, McMiilin, Crisp, Springer, Hatch, Bynum, and others for the Democrats. This list is suggestive. Ail are big men, but now do battle for the last time. You all know those left for the next Congress. Does it occur to you, therefore, what a preponderance of master minds will be on the Democratic side? The brains of the Republican party will be contracted in Tom Reed himself. Colonel Mills tells your correspondent that it lies with the Republicans whether or not the public business is to be attended to properly and in an orderly manner during this session. The Democrats, he s^a, will make no factions opposition to legislation that they do not approve of if it is necessary for the people of government. They are determined, however, to prevent as far as possible the consumation of those political designs which have made Reed and his followers famous or infamous, just as yon please. Agaiustd^tce bills and parti-’ san manipulations of census returns there will be war to the bitter end. The Texas statesman did not say so, but I suspect he is gettiug into his fighting ■ clothes, for he knows the man with whom he has to deal. Ail eyes here are not on “Little Delaware,” but on another little state called New Hampshire, where Billy Chandler is endeavoring to euchre the Democrats out or the legislature as he did Titden out oi the electoral vote of Louisiana. Here’s a man who professes the utmost Christian morality—a Christian statesman, as Donu Piatt dubbed him—who hesitates at no political crime. And whenever any oppose he sets up theci-y of Rebellion, with a big K. The lobby, or as it is known, the third House, is on hand to look after the pickings. This means a “business session.” Where the carrion is there the vultures will be found. It is a significant foot that the lobby prospers under a Republican administration of affaire. They live on steamship subsidies, and steals, flush expenditures of public money. Californians here have commenced to “boom” Senator Lei and Staudford for the presidency. They forget that no man was ever elevated directly from the Senate to the stewardship of the nation. Garfield came the nearest to it. He was elected to the Senate before he became president, but had never taken his seat. Alskkt. Noxid. Noxid Ind., Dec. 1st. 1890.—E».

“A Merry Christmas!” is the cheery greeting shining from every page of that ideal monthly, Demorest’s Family Magazine, the December number of which—a genuine holiday number—is just at hand. What one will not know about preparing for Christmas, about trimming the tree ana suitable gifts and good cheer and how to heartily enjoy the merry Christmas-tide, after reading this charming Magazine, is not worth knowing. “Lighting the Way for Santa Claus” is the very appropriate introductory water-color, the rich burner of which will be highly appreciated by the little ones and “children of a larger growth” as well; and the page engraving that follows, “Raphael Painting the Virgin and child,” is from a noted painting, and will be appreciated for its historic value aa well as its beauty. Besides these, there are at least two hundred and fifty other handsome illustrations, for this representative Family Magazine is noted for the quantity and good quality of its pictures. “In the Streets of Paris” is a profusely illustrated article. In reading which one is in fancy transported to that charming city; and if one prefers to visit uearer home, the description and exquisite pictures of the Washington residence of Senntor Snwver of Wisconsin, afford a revelation of beauty. There are splendid stories and poems, rnd every Department is brimful of just what you want to know in its special line. “Sanitarian” treats of that sad afitiction “Obesity,” and the common-sense treatment recommended is bound to be efficacious; and “Our Girls” will be delightful with the comedietta in their special Department. But our advice Is, subscribe for this splendid Magazine, and you can have a rare treat each month. It is only $2 a year, anil is published by W. Jenuing Demorest, 13 Bast 14th Street, Sew Turk.
