It is a curious fact, deserving more notice than it receives, that a very | large proportion of those loud-smell- ing scandals which have made the | Republican party both odorous and odious owe their exposure to Repub- + lican jealousies and quarrels. Usu- ally it is the opposing party that does the exposing, but in this instance the Democrats have spared the trouble, their antagonists taking it upon themselves. and displaying the soiled linen of the tamily to an ase tonished and disgusted public with as much nonchalance as if it were white as the driven snow and sweet All that been as a bed of roses. have had todo has been to hold} their noses, open their eyes and | make the most ot the political ad- | vantage thus gratuitously bestowed. As tar back as 1861, when the war | had just begun, Secretary Cameron | was suddenly invited to leave Lincoln cabinet, for reasons not then specified. But it soon leaked out that the veteran Pennsylvania states- man had been ‘‘improving his op- portunities’’ rather more vigorously and exclusively than other statesmen of his party. equally hungry for spoils, thought fair, and that in his greed for contracts he had omitted to ‘*grease’’ those who needed greas- ing inorder te stop their mouths.

It seems that the haden are the natural food of blue fish, sea bass and other game fish. The fisheries have been prose- cuted with such iadustry that the menhaden are decreasing in num- bers and driven far trom their oid haunts. The consequence 1s a great falling off in the catch of blue fish, and many fish dealers who supply the Eastern city markets want to put a stop to the menhaden fisheries in fish.
