We arcepted, Tuesday, a courteous
invitation to see a cheat, the properi

It is but an ordiQary pine chest of
goneby days, save the till which Lu
an ingeniously hidden compa meat
t tat few would ever discover. The
, spring lock, too, is a marvel. -It is
heavy and bl ong and quite mechanN
cally made. But is the hisory
that makes it interesting.

We censure the Espublican party
for -holding out f :f siich inda -ments,

claim to office.

with many ofahe white race who
neither ask nor expect office.
There seems to be those who think
that offices are a thins: to give a for

the unfaithful and- unworthy that
find it so.
'We are glad that the Eepublican
and Populist parties give them
few offices tz- they do. .The jhame
is that ttbey should e rer hold o a t the
inducements to them. We have no
