THERE seems to be little doubt about
Senator Edmunds' re-election. There
ought to be none. Mr. Edmunds com
bines ability with integrity and long leg
islative experience in the senate. A
basswood statesman from Arermont
would find it very difficult to rattle
around in the shoes of the senior sena
tor from the Green Mountain state.
Tin : board of school lands and funds
of this state has decided that after a
single individual has leased educationa
lands from the state amounting in the
aggregate'to G40 acres , he has exhaust
ed his privileges and thenceforth the
state will issue no more leases to him ,
whether he has disposed of his old leases
by assignment or otherwise. The boart
held that this was the intent of the leg
islature , and that it would not stop the
injurious speculation in school lands to
hold that the law meant that no man
should hold at one time more than the
limit prescribed by law. Ton can get
one section once and no more than once ,
as a lessee under the decision of the
board.
will be hot this week in old
England. The debate on the second
reading of the home rule bill has opened ,
and there will be over a hundred speech
es uiadc before its close. The prospects
"or the passage of the bill to a third
reading are not very brilliant , but the
eaders on both sides feel that it is a
close contest , and every method of vote
getting will be essayed. In view of the
closeness of the fight , Gladstone's friends
lave concluded that the best thing to do
n case of defeat is to ask of the queen
a dissolution of parliament and an ap
ical to the country , and they confident-
y predict a majority for him at the out
come of the next race.
THE Army and Navy Gazette com
menting on Van Wyck's attack on Gen.
Logan's army bill , bethinks itself of
, he old man's regard and adds : "Our
irst recollection of the senator from
Nebraska , Van Wyck , is of his being
under arrest by order of Gen. McClellau
or violating orders against the appro
bation of rebel property. He was then
a member of Congress from Ulster coun
ty , N. Y. , Colonel of the 5Gth New
York volunteers , and the same dangerous
demagogue that he now is , and always
will be. He has much to say about bloat
ed corporations , railroads among others ,
yet we venture to afSrm that if his pock
et book was examined that it would be
found to contain more railroad passes
than that of any other senator.
HERR MOST , the roaring lion of an
archy , after being released on bail fur
nished by his ardent admirers , failed to
make his Saturday night meeting in
New York a success. As his promised
sensation savored more of stale beer
than blood , he had better fall back.on
his intrenched position under the bed.
BROAD\VAV , New York , is to have
an underground railroad. As the legis
lature has passed the bill and the gov
ernor signed it , boodle aldermen will
not be given the chance to twist § 10 ,
000 greenbacks around their fingers
when explaining why they were induced
to give a valuable franchise for nothing
to voracious capitalists.
THE finding of nine bodies surrep
titiously buried in a suburb of Chicago ,
suggests that more anarchists were kill
ed during the recent riot than have been
known and reported. The anarchists
carried off their dead and wounded ex-
peditiously and have striven to conceal
the number of their casualties for fear of
discouraging the followers of the red Hag.
THE B. & M. office at Juniata was
robbed , last Sunday night , the safe be
ing blown open , and $70 in money taken ,
besides many other articles of value
around the office. The company offers
a reward for the apprehension of the
robbers , suspicion falling on two or three
tramps who were lounging around the
depot during the day.
TURKEV'S reluctance to go to war with
Greece is evidence that the advisors of
the sultan understand the utter hope
lessness of their situation. If they
whipped the Greeks , as they certainly
would with their large and well drilled
army , they would then , have to grapple
with Russia , er with some alliance forc
ed into the conflict by the indignation
with which Europe would certainly be
filled by the spectacle of Greek Chris-
ians being crushed by the superior
number of their Moslem foes.
H. IKNSE , a blacksmith at Sigel , 111. , wrote
Mnich 2. that lie was very lame with rheu-
iiatism , he could hardly walk and the joints
of his limbs were badly swollen and very .sore ,
md so painful he could scarcely turn hi bed.
Jjs physician advised him to use Chamber-
sun's Pain Balm. The effect was beneficial
rom the first application , and he js now able
o attend to hi * regular work. This medicine
ISLS onlvto be tried to convince the iiH
ical that it i.the best treatment for rheuuia-
