In 1874 occurred the death of Charles Sumner at Washington. In 1709 the first London Daily was sent out. In lbßl the Confederate constitution was adopted.

In 1814 occurred the battle of Kheims. In 1841 100 lives were lost in a wreck of 9teamer President. In 1881 King Alexander II of Itussia was assassinated. In 1882 thousands of lives were lost by earthquakes in Costa liica. Last year at this time the (Jerry Whipping post bill was defeated in the assembly, and there occurred the collission between the Starbuck and Seneca in East Iliver X. Y. Ckktain aspirants to political honors will do well to make a note of the fact that water cannot be successfully carried on both shoulders. Journalism is in many respects a peculiarly peculiar field. It is a truism in journalism that any hare-brained dude can "run" a newspaper where a political sinking fund is supplied on one hand and brains on the other, whether he is blessed with general patronage or not. A itECKNT contribution of S14,W0 to the conscience fund of the United States treasury once again proves that a revulsion is eventually certain in the minds of men who have sold themselves to the devil for temporary gain, to which fact we would most respectfully call the attention of one F.d S. lirooke. Onk of the greatest travesties on the boasted fairness of our free institutions to all this free, self governed people is beginning to be evidenced in the hatching of partisan trickery which the greatest secrecy of aspirin? wirepullers and partisan henchmen can not even now conceal from those who are paying any attention to the manner in which certain political forces are being marshalled for the approaching campaign. The principle upon which the integrity and prosperity and continuity of our government depend presupposes honesty in the execution of the plan. Hut there comes with every campaign, to impeach the integrity, casl a shadow upon the prosperity and threaten the continuity of the free institutions of our government by the people, a horde of black-hearted knaves, policy politicians, whose patriotism is variable in exact ratio with the price it will com niand in the partisan market. They are worse than pirates because they come as deceivers under cloaks of religion and respectability and what not, while pirates sail under the black Hag which honestly proclaims their charater. As individuals policy politicians do not, however, always "come." It sometimes happens that, under the stimulus of a corruption fuud.they are phenomenally developed in localities where they are expected to make dupes of their friends and in so far as they can. to betray the interests of the public for the sake of personal gain. A great deal of interest centers around the bill introduced by Laud, of California. If passed it will work great hardships to the publishers of country weeklies. While the projector may believe it will assist in elevating the subscripton price of the country papers, by excluding from the mails as second class matter books and periodicals with paper covers, yet the restriction placed upon country weeklies-which, with the present liberal postage laws, have but a meagre livelihood -would cause dire disaster. Every editor of a weekly paper should oppose this measure. Some of the reasons can be briefly mentioned. It would exclude from the mails as second-class matter all books and peri odicals with paper covers, which today can be secured cheaply, giving your boy and your neighbor's boy an oppor tuuity to advance in literature; thus

depriving them of this necessity without a heavy expenditure. It would prohibit a publisher sending out sample copies of his publication; depriving him of the opportunity of presenting the merits of his paper to non-subscribers. This feature alone should condemn the bill in the eyes of every newspaper publisher. Under this iron-clad law it would, in a legal sense, prohibit a publisher sending his paper to a subscriber who had not paid for it in advance; thus making a direct stab at the country journal. The excuse given for this proposed law is, that it would reduce the deficiency in the postal revenue. We are of the opinion that before our legis

lators pass any more laws that would be a burden chietly upon the laboring element of the United States, they had better use a more patriotic spirit in reducing some of the extravagant luxuries of the mechanical construction of our government. The bill is a fraud. SO PLAIN. The following is from the subsidized republican organ in this city. It would not take a very apt scholar to fathom the lack of an astute brain in giving it out to the general public: " If it is true that our former citizen and old friend, 11. . Oglesbee, has been made the captain of lt. W. McKeen's senatorial campaign, he will no doubt push it for all it is worth. While we believe our sympathies are for Mr. Fairbanks, in this race, there is no question but that the McKeen campaign will not lack vigor and push." He remarks so cutely, "While we believe our sympathies are for Mr. Fairbanks." His sympathy is about all Hrooke has for that candidate, when compared to the "ducats" held out by the McKeenites. Just watch his smoke. A NfW urgon Chair. The Climax surgeon chair, mauufac tured by Dr. Jackson, is becoming quite popular. This week the doctor shipped one of them to a sanitarium at Jacksonville, Fla. It is becoming a potent fact that this invention is meeting with merited success. It is acknowledged by surgeons that for cheapness and durability this chair far exceeds a $75 one, and those who have purchased them are highly pleased with them. The Climax is made of antique oak with aluminum trimmings. He Splutter. If even sworn statements made everthing true and holy, how easy 'twould be for some people to reform and be men. A word to the wise is suthcient and no more words will be wasted. -Hrooke in the Kveinng News. While writing the above item the editor of the New and Kepublican must have had in mind his own sworn statement made a few weeks agvi as to the circnlation of his weekly. TWIN I.ARKs. March 13, 18W. The Misses Ethel and Lulu (Jrover, of Chicago, were guests of Taylor (Jroverand Dora (Jrube last week. Walter White, of Plymouth, visited relatives at this place last Saturday and Sunday. There will be another spelling school at the hall next Wednesday night. Jerry liunnels and wife visited at Hochester last week. Miss Ilattie Huple, one of West Townships most ellicient teachers, died Monday night, of typhoid fever, aged 18 years 11 months and 21 days. Miss Huple had been connected with the West Township schools for the past two years. She took ill at her school two weeks ago last Tuesday and was taken home by a lady living near the school house. Jlattie was loved by all, always ready to lend a hand and was always in a pleasant humor. She at once gave up all hope of recovery and said she was going to Jesus. Her loved ones at different times, during her illness, requested her to remain with them for they would be so lonely without her but she said Jesus wanted her more and that she would pass over the river and be at rest at once and forever. It has been a sad blow to the family and man can scarcely know how to talk of consolation under so bitter an allliction. Hut think, deai parents, brother and sisters, of One who "careth for all," and look forward to that brighter and happier world in which you shall go to her who cannot return to you. The schools in the township closed and the twelve remaining teach ers attended the funeral in & body and acted as pall bearers. Her pupils also attended in a body and, after all that was mortal was lowered in the grave, they passed by and each dropped a sprig of evergreen into the grave as a last token of respect. Her sufferings enItl witli Ilm l;ty, Vet lived she at its close; And breathed the Ion;,' lonj day away. In statue-like reose. Hut when th stars in ail their state.
