THE
immigration officers at New York
expect 500,000 European immigrants by way of that city during the present year,
IT
appears that it is the anti-Chinese bill that "must go." It is thought the President will nob approve it, at least in its present shape.
THE
Cincinnati Gazette compliments
Senator Harrison highly upon the rank lie has been able to establish for himself by his one year's experience in the Senate.
THERE are loud growls of disapproval of the anti-Chinese bill throughout the •country. It is felt that the bill is not in accord with the spirit of American institutions. But there is a good deal to be said on tile other side of the question.
THE
issue of the New York Herald on
last Sunday consisted of twenty-eight pages, and contained upwards of 6,000 advertisements. The Herald easily leads in American journalism, and next to it come*, the Chicago Tribune. The income of the Herald is stated to be some $80 000 per annum, and that of the Tribune about §200,000.
THE
Cincinnati fazette says that
'Senator Harrison is taking high rank in the Senate and that he has already demonstrated his fitness to bo the successor of Senator Morton. This has not been accomplished by any brilliant displayH of oratorial ability, although he ranks high as a speaker but rather by the close hard work which be has done in the committee rooms.
IT has been ascertained that Abraham Lincoln's father and mother were legally married. Not that there was any reason for supposing that they were not married, but industrious biographers could find no record of the ceremony, and this, it appears, was enough to make nome people talk! But Dr. Graham, now in his ninty-eighth year, was present at the marriage and has made his affidavit to the fact. "That do settle it."
little Indian boys were received, few days since, by baptism into the Presbyterian Church, ut Carlisle, Pa. They are from Capt. Pratt's training •school for Indians, at that place. Thirtyfive Indians in all have thus made profession of Christian faith at Carlisle. The old cAstom in that locality, of men sitting i» their pews with guns, in order to keep out intruding Indians, has gone out of fashion.
THERE
is a good deal of interest felt in
IndiauapoliH in the election which is to be held next Monday, v^hile it is true '"that it is only a townstmfcelcction the liquor question has been made the predominant issue by the action of the Democracy in protesting against the submission of the prohibitory amendment tho ieople and the result of this election will be some indication of the general sentiment on this question.

IT seems that there are some substantial objections to the admission of Dakota as a Stat«. It is said the Territory has not a population such as to entitle it to admission—not even the quota for one representative that a largo part of those enumerated as inhabitants are not settled that the movement for admission does not come from the people but from a junto of politicians who want to till the positions of Governor, Representative, Senators, etc. But as the new State promises two Republican Senators and one Republican .member of the House, the movement for its admission is favored by the Republicans and opposed by the Democrats.
Looked at without partisau glasses on it •would probably be just as well for Dakota and the country at large to let the Territory grow a little while longer before making it into a State.
Is It impossible to have uiore than one telegraph company in this country It won Id seem that it is. No sooner is a rival company organised and put into practical operation than, by some hook or crook, it turns up in the hands of the Wettern Union. Tho latest gobble of this kind was of the Mutual Union, which loudly protested that it would be run independently of the Western Union. But it turns out now that Jay Gould has bought shares of its

SUNDAY POLITICS.
Judge Tourgee's new lecture, Uiider the above title, is at once practical and suggestive. Its purpose is to emphasize the importance of every man taking a hand in politics for himself. It is dangerous to delegate his power. He says: "Good American politics must be built up from the bottom. A growing party need never be afraid of corruption, or of having a boss, since all are impressed with a political thought, and all are at work to keep it alive. Corruption comes when parties are strong and the machinery, the work, is given up by the many to the few—when men say they can't afford to govern themselves. It is each man's duty to impress his stamp upon the party. If he fails to do his party work he is stealing away the rights of some one else, He is a bad man. A man who is fit to have good government is ready to give his time and effort. If

if KlO All
he feels that he can't afford it, he ought not to be afforded a share in its blessings.
There is nothing especially new in this. In substance it has been said many times before. But it is like the sermon on the mount—the important thing is to feel it and act on it. There are so many good people who are addicted to Sunday politics. They want everything done honestly and fairly, but they don't want to help to do it. They forget that the man who refuses to go to the ward meet ing is not in the best position to scold those who did go, and who managed affairs to suit themselves. They don't suit him, and therefore he scolds. This fails to accomplish the reformation he de sires, and he then becomes disgusted and cynical, and falls into a "don't care cuss" state of mind. He will never help politics in this role. He must try a new one. He has been letting others "set things up" too long for him. He must take a hand in setting things up for him self. That is the only way they will ever be set to suit him. Like enough he will find himself at a disadvantage when he undertakes it. The other feliows have been at it so long that he will find them in better trim than he is. A man gains skill in politics as he does in everything else—by experience. He will find some very old hands at the primaries—a good many of them. They may be too much for him at first—probably will be. But of one thing he may be sure—he will never gain experience by staying away, and the other fell
AS
Self-government means government by the people and by all the people. If a man believes in that kind of government, he ought to show his faith by his works and help to carry it on. He can't do this simply by voting. That is only a part and, as it happens, sometimes only a small part of the business.
It is often said that our institutions are in danger from the vicious classes. They are more in danger from thedress-ing-gown-and-slipper classes—the men who only vote about once in four years and are never seen at a ward-meeting or primary. If American government ever becomes a laughing-stock it will be largely owing to the latent abilities of these honored individuals.
LONGFELLOW.
In the death of Longfellow America has lost her most national and representative litorary man. It is now more thau l'orty years since his first volume of poems was given to the world and the "Voices of the Night" at once caused him to rank as the most popular of living poets. His literary reputation has had the permanence of granite. The fine staudard of exquisite workmanship which characterized his first, characterized also his last work. We are told and may well believe that while he often wrote rapidly, he revised his work slowly and with the utmost care. One ot the moet striking beauties of his poetry is inimitably choice of words. "He often reminds us," says one, "of an excellent mosaic worker, with his smooth table of polished marble indented to receive the precious stones that are lying at hand, which he calmly, patiently and with exquisite art, inserts in the shape of flowers and fruit." It may be said of Longfellow with more truth perhaps than of any living poet, that in metrical harmony and verbal purity his poetry is perfect.
No other of our poets is so universal in his sympathies and so beloved of all classes. Others may be more brilliant, or more imaginative in some respects, but none* has been so able to reach the common heart of humanity as Longfellow. His poetry is "a gospel of good will set to music," and "has carried joy and gladuess to many homes. There is nothing bizarre and tawdry about it. It is sweet and grand in the simplicity of beauty. There is not in all his works a single line which carries a suggestion of immorality or sensualism. All is pure, elevated and inspiring.
His friendship for children was one of the most beautiful characteristics of his life and this sentiment is exhibited in many of his poems. There is nothing sweeter in the language than the exquisite little poem entitled "The Children's
Happy ever household has such an hour! The children reciprocated the poet's affection and ho was rich in the love of all the little ones in the land. It is not likely that he ever received a pres-

Judge Tourgee says well and wisely that corruption in politics comes when the machinery is given up by the many to the few. We have seen that illustrated often enough in this country. It is natural for men to work for themselves and their friends, and it is not surpris ing if in politics, as in other things, they do not always stop at the limits of honesty.

Whittier, Holmes and Emerson still remain of our oldest poets, but their advanced ages give little guaranty that they will be long with us. What younger poets are coming up to fill the places of the old?
THE
Burlington Hawkeye has enjoyed
an official boom. Its chief editor, Hatton, was made First-Assistant Postmas-ter-General, and its managing editor, Mr. Waite, was given the pleasant plum of the Burlington postoffice. In the emergency of this official declination, tke genial and nationally known Robert J. Burdette, the distinctive "Hawkeye man," hfabeen promoted (if promotion it can be called) to the managing editorship. The Hawkeye office must be a happy place.
article on "The Dead Poet," from the pen of Rev. E. F. Howe, will be found on the first page. It has added interest from the fact that the writer has for several years been a near neighbor of Longfellow.

Eprhiam H. Cummings, of Chicago says an "observing eye will notice that a hen occasionally picks up little bits of lime, plaster, gravel, and dirt, and in twelve hours' time transforms it into beautiful marble, inclosing an egg. Mr. Cummings challenges Bob Ingersoll or "all the Voltaries and Tom Paines in the world," to do this, or tell who planned the machine.

Our Stock of Dress Goods is so very great as to excite wonder as to where they will all go. We are well aware they must be sold low.
The Display of] MUSLIN UNDERWEAR has been quite a revelation to many as to the possibilities of combining most beautiful styles, superior work, and extrmely low prices.
