"Gas" was ou to his Job. Warming Up. The race for the Democratic nomina tion for the presidency is warming up. It may now be said to be on in earnest. ; Mr. Olney l.itely came to Washington ! on "private business" strictly private : but his stay In the capital served the purpose of drawing attention to him as a probable presidential candidate and a j possible presidential nominee. Recent- j ly the Jefferson-Jackon-Lincoln club of Columbus, O., pulled olf a banquet I with gre.it eclat, a banquet graced by i his victims as so many razors. So thoroughly is hi? fmrorb capacity in this regard recognised that nobody ever inteivupt3 him now ti:t is, nobody with any reputation to lcs When I was a boy, I attended a public "ale flown in the hill country of Kentucky. Two men got into a fijrht. One slashed I the other across the abdomen with a j sharp knife and kt out his "innards." The wounded man doubled himself up 1 ami threw both hands in front of his ; stomach to catch his entrails. I wa-$ a child. The performance made a deep. J an ineffaceable impression on my mind, i I have recalled that picture thousands ' cf times. I never saw uuything like it ! until one day iast year at the long ses sion. De Armond was making a speech From one point of view not, of course, from the political point, where. I judge, it ftopars vY-ry practice 1. but from cer tain points of view all this would seem to be almost fartical. Hut even these farces sometimes have a solemn side, and I can imagine how the old negroes cf the south, male and female, will now be the prey of the sharks who, in order to "promote"' legislation, in order to bring in the millen nium, in order to hasten the coming of the good time promised in this bill prom ised also otherwise and in other ways will sive up their small earnings from their scanty hoards and then in their time cf want will do as they have been doing these many years, as they long since learned to do ard as they long will do turn to their natural and best fn.?nds, the 1 white people of the souMi, for substantial relirf. entirely free from the politician's frills and furbelows, Which are designed simply to catch the colored voter and not 1 to help l.ini.

Eli a Owein, William Mc- ls how we may in the near future have deal with other things calling upon the treasury of the country and swelling tre mendously the appropriations made by congress. This suggestion comes in part from a somewhat remarkable bill introduced at the other end of the capitol, one having j somewhat remarkable objects in view. I refer to the bill for pensioning the slaves, the black men and the black women of : the south. This bill provides that every ' person, man or woman, who was a slave : and has attained the age of seventy years j shall be given upon lt3 passage $500 f.nd a : pension of $15 a month so long as he or 1 she shall live after that time; that those j over sixty and not having attained the i age of seventy shall be given ?300 and I pensioned at $12 a month: that those over fifty and under sixty shall have $100 and a j pension of $8 a month, and that those who ! perhaps were infants in arms during the time of the war, those under fifty, shall have a pension of ?4 a month. I do not know whether this bill is going to pass. I do not know whether it was designed or expected that it should pass. It is a curious piece, however, in the study of the passinjr drama of statesman- j ship and politics. It is rather a seductive ! picture held out for the black brother, north or south. It has attachments, too, that wilt reach not or.iy the colored broth- i er. but ought, if it were mad3 a law, to j be beneficial to some of those who hur- i tied and scurried south shortly, after the war and associated themselves. Cor pur poses of their own, very greatly to their mayor of Greater New York this fall, not only elected, but by such a tre mendous majority that he will bo nominated and elected governor of New York state next fall, and in the 5vent of the Democrats electing a leg islature lie will be elected to iha sen ate of the United States in lieu of around after the news.
