see the, indirect and stealthy attacks upon
that bill every year on the part of some
democratic leaders, and the hold and out-
right opposition it always brings out on
the part of others. A pension bill to the
eyes of the average democrat in congress
is as water to a mad dog, or a red flag to
an enraged bovine. It always sets them
into a rage of hostility. The final result,
however, is unusually akin to 'the old

Barnum’s circus, the New York editori-
al excursion and a week’s horse racing
were too much for the weather bureau.
After more than a month of most charm-
ing spring days the rain set in and, on the
arrival of the circus and opening of the
races the rain began to pour, and kept it
up till yesterday gave us the first glimpse
of sunshine we have had for a week.
The poor editors came in decorated with
their usual outfit of linen dustors, which
serve as a cost by day and a robe do
chambre at night, only to find them too
wet and bedraggled to sleep in, and their
consequent sufierings are said to have
been extreme.
But, seriously, the elements seem to
have been bent on death and destruction
in all parts of the globe the past few days,
while the disasters by flood and tempest
during go past week in the south and
west have been something fearful to con-
template. More people have been killed
and wounded by the elements in this
country during the past seven days than
were sacrificed in any one of hundreds
of battles that occurred during the war of
the rebellion.

Congressmen are turning their attention
seriously to the fall elections. Nominating
conventions have been held in several dis-
tricts, and others will follow soon. In
addition to a new house of representatives
most of the states will elect new legisla-
tures and full state tickets.
An average number of United States
senatorships will expire in March, and the
possibility that the new senators to be
elected, may change the political com-
plexion of the United States senate and
the new house become republican, gives
to this fall's contests in the several states
an unusually exciting interest. The states
of Connecticut, New Jersey, Michigan,
Nevada, and California are put down as
doubtful, but why there should be any
doubt about Connecticut standing as well
as now in the next house no intelligent
and candid politician can see. Still earn-
est work is to be and will be done by both
political parties. It is a singular fact that
the democrats place their sole reliance for
party success upon the capture of the
solid labor vote. How this is to be accom-
plished, and what right or justification
they have to expect the votes of working
men can only be explained on the score
of the most audacious impudence. Their
constant efforts to repeal and disturb the
Tarifl laws, which afford the surest pro-
tection to the American laborers, ought
to forever silence the claim of that party
to the working man’s vote.

rm: onus-r VALUE or ALASKA.
Gov. Swineford, of Alaska, delivered
an interesting address before the House
Co mittee on Territories on the resources
climate and laws of Alaska. Alaska, he
said, could alone furnish the fish supply
of the world. It had valuable gold mines
yielding as much as sixteen dollars per
ton of ore at an expense of but one dollar
and twenty cents. Its forests were also
exceedingly valuable. The Governor urged
that additional legislation be enacted
granting Alaska the same judicial security
that existed, in other Territories. At
present the people did not even have the
privilege of paying taxes, and inability to
secure perfect titles prevented settlers
from taking upland.

The latest sensation in the wedding epi-

high ofiicial circles, is that the President
is not to marry Miss Folsom after all, but
the young lady’s mother is to be the com-

little as the President can do to invite the
Rev.Dr. Bu rchard to perform the marriage

The death of George H. Butler which
occurred here last week ends a most bril-

irresponsible journalists that ever wielded
a pen. He was for a short time on the
Tribune, at the urgent request of his uncle
.Gen. B. F. Butler, and although a gradu-
ate of West Point, his insane desire for
drink, so brutalized his nobler nature and
remarkably fine powers, that he could stay
nowhere long except when under restraint

made Consul-General of the U.S. to Egypt

was soon recalled. He married Rose

In a copy of the Gaseue of the United
States, published on Wednesdays and Sat-

Saturday. April 28, 1792, the following
proposal for carrying the mails from New
York “by the upper route,” to Hartford,
3PM“ =— .
“From New York to Hartford, in the
State of Connecticut, through White
Plains, North Castle, Salem, Poundridge,
Rid efield, Danbug, Newtown, New Mil-
fo , Litchfield, arwington and Farm-
ington once a week. The mail to leave
New York on Thursday at 4 o’clock in the
afternoon and arrive' at Hartford b eight
o‘clock in the morning of the next MI’mday.
Returnin leave Hartford at ten o'clock
the same ends in the forenoon and or
rive in New Yor by eight o’clock in the
next Thursday.

the mail through some other towns or part
of this upper route from New York to
Hartford, ma be more extensively useful
the persons inclined to contract for .the
carrying of it, will be pleased to make two
distinct proposals; one for the route above
described; the other with such deviations
as they think will be most useful to the
inhabitants; but in both cases to pass
through Danbury and Litchfiold."
At the date of the above the first session
of the 2d.Congressjwas in session at Phil.

The Ember and Chinese Question.
From a letter received from Washington
we give the following extracts touching
upon the above questions. The argu-
ments are not especially new, but are no
less of importance. and will abundantly
repay consideration :— .
The excitement here new, as elsewhere,
is the “strikes." No one can safely pre.
dict the end of these movements. It is
safe to say that it is a good way off. The
fact that the agitation'has spread. not only
over‘this country, but,over Europe, gives
it a form that is going to require great
wisdom on both sides to meet, if we are
to avoid a catastrophe that will be equally
ruinous to both sides. There is one thing
that gives us a vast sdvanta e in this
country over Europe. Multitu es of our
laboring classes own their own homes;
they have their own prosperous families;
their children are on the open road to all
the honors and wealth the nation has to
give. Law and order are just as essential
to them as to the wealthiest. The confu-
sion and lawlessness that Socialism is try-
ing to bring in would be as disastrous to
them as to any other class. Our own in-
telligent native population must see this.
The danger comes from the ignorant,
wild, brutal masses that Europe has dis-
gor ed upon us, and who should be in-
clu ed in any law that may be passed
against immigration.
The law that is now up again is aimed,
of course, only at the Chinese. On this
subject let me ive you an extract from a
letter of a n eman who has spent many
years in Oh it and is now on the Pacific
coast. In reference to the eflorts to break
the existing treaty with China, he writes:
“There is one strong argument which
should have force with the business men.
Not that China can get on without us
much better uniaril y than we can with.
out China. ur country needs China as a
market for lumber, grain, kerosene oil,
cotton cloth, iron, etc. Great Britain
purchases raw cotton in China, manufac-
tures it at home. and again sells the cloth
in China. Great Britain and Germany
are now our great rivals inChina. Should
our government fail to observe the treaty,
and thus shut herself out from this great
market, our rivals would rejoice and reap
a rich harvest. China will, in the near
future, begin to build railroads, develop
mines, and furnish a vast market for
machinery and many articles we have in
abundance."
These considerations, if not the highest,
are, at least, those that the average Ameri-
can is quitc capable of understanfiig’g.z

National Education Association.
Probably the largest and most interest-
ing meeting in the history of the associa-
tion will be held in Topeka, Kansas, July
9th to 17. If a suflcient number desire,
arrangements will be made for a special
train of drawing room sleeping cars, in
charge of well-known educators, which
will be run through from Boston to Topeka
without change. The advantage of this
arrangement, especially to ladies, is appar-
ent to all. This train will leave Boston
about 8 p. m., July 9, arriving at Niagara
Falls 7:80 a. m., July 10, where five hours
will be taken for rest. and an opportunity
afforded to view . the cataract. the whirl-
pool rapida and other scenery for which
Niagara is unequalled. Leaving the Falls
at 12:80 p. m. the train will reach Chicago
Sunday morning at 7 a. m. It will leave
Chicago at 6 p. m., thus allowing the day
to be spent at will, and will reach Topeka
atan early hour Monday evening, July 12.
The price of double berth, accommodating
two persons, from Boston to Topeka is .9.
It should be understood that locations in
the sleeping cars will be made in the order
applications are received. By remitting
the above amount you will receive a re-
ceipt stating the location .of berth. The
price of ticket from Springfield to Topeka
and return is .39. It is expected that a
drawing room sleeping car will leave New
Haven to connect with the train mentioned
above. An excursion ticket from Topeka
to San Francisco and return to Omaha or
Kansas City can be bought for $50. A
membership fee of S2 entitles one to these
low rates of fare and reduced rates at
hotels. For bulletins of information. cer-
tificates of membership and railroad tick.
