WasnineTon, D. %., Dec. 17 79. That the Democratic party fichts best and wins oftenest when it is aggressive 18 well Enown. Therefore the action of the Democratic caucus of the ‘House is running up the party flac with declarations, writ so Targe that even he who runs may read, against the retirement of the preenbacks, either directly or indirectly; against any extension of privileges enjoyed by National Banks, and for the recognition of the belligerency cf Cuba, and the enactment of a just and wise Bankruptcy law, was wise as well .@ good politics. It shows the gountry that if the Repubticans da Congress were afiaid to en mounce a policy for the session in advance of the Christmas recess, which extends from tomorrow antil January 5th, the Democrats were not. It hes often been denied on the floors of Coneress that the logi- oul outcome of the present civil service law would be a ciyil pen- gion list, but now Secretary Gage bas actually started a civil pen- gion list, under the alias ofa “roll ef honor’, to which all Treasury Dapartment employes more than 70 years old are to be transferred for life, ata uniform annual sal- ‘ary of $900 each—that is, they are to be, unless Congress upsets this programme, which itis more than likely te do. Nothing has eccurred since the civil service act was placed upon the statute Books tbat will do more to open the eyes of the people to the cor- rectness of the position ot those Democrats. who favor the repeal of thatlaw. The country 1s today staggering under the burden of fs military pension list, and will not carry a civil pension list. —— Those snide patent attorneys, gwaidto be quite numerous, who make a practice of getting the dash of inventors under the pre- tense cf precuring and selling foreisn patents on their inveos fions, knowing that no foreign patent that is worth the paper @pen which it is written can be gotten from them, and that no gale cau ke made, are in a bad way. Acting Commissioner’ of Patents Greeley, who earned bis -gpurs by his conduct of the in- ve tigation that resulted in form- Mmeanomber of glaring abuses ia Patent Office practice, is on their ‘rail, and determined to break up such criminal methods, aod his determination, ability and Ronesty are all of the A. 1. brand. An attempt is to be made to lkave the House and Senate Ip- dian committees agree or legis» Iation for Indian Territory, bu; inasmuch as the Senate Commit- tee has already agreed to a bil] for apportionment of the lands of the five civilized tribes, it leoks as though that means merely an attempt to get the House Com- mitlee to accept the bill of the | Senate Committee, whichis sup- ported by the Dawes Commission and opposed by the representa- tives of the Indians. - Although the National Board of Trade, which held its annual session in Washington this week, changed the time for holding its annual meetings from January or February to December for the ayowed purpose of_ influencing Co-gress, its members must be fully convinced of the impossi- bility of getting the gold legisla- tion they, in common with Secre- -|tary Gage and his side partuers of the “monetary cpuierence,” are trying to secure from the Present Congress. This has been ared letter week, indeed, in the career of Senator Daniel, of Virginia, who has been chosen to succeed the late Sene- tor Harris, of Tennessee. as a : member of the Senate committee on Finance, and unanimously reelected to the Senate by the Virginia legislation. Two such honors seldom come to any man in a single week, anc it 1s not surprising that Senator Daniel should be overwhelmed with congratulations on his good fortune. The Republicans of the House sheuld he beld responsible for their failure to save the $1,000,- 000 or $1,500,000 a year which Representatiys Bingham asserted could in the opinisn of himself and h's colleagues on the Appro- priation committee bs saved bv the reduction of the extravagant salaries paid to clerks in tbe departments. If that committee has such an opinion, it failed to perform its duty when it reported the legislative, Executive and Judicial appropriation bill, now b+fore the House, without pro- viding for those reductions. ‘There are reasons for believing that there are a sufficient number of Kepublican Senators who will refuse to reverse their previous votes against the right of a gov- enor to appoint a Senacor aftera legislature has failed to elect When it had au opportanity, to make it certain that Mr. Corbett wil uot be given that Oregon Vacancy, even if a majority of the committee on Electicns and Privileges reports in his favor, ag it probably will. Mr. Richard Crokar, the widely known Tammany Democrat, was a guest of Senator Murphy this week. He said thathe only ran over to Washingten for a rest and a cbang:, but there was probably considerable New York polities in the long talks le haa with Senator Murphy. Everybody Says So.

An editor once, being weary from fasting, fell asleep and dreamed that he was in’ a large hal! in the midst of which stood a Christmas tree lit up with sev- al thousand candles. There were ‘no presents upon the tree but while the editor wondered at this a wide door opened at'the end of the hall and there entered a great multitude of men with happy faces. Each man had one hand in his pocket aud as he passed ths tree he drew forth a shiniug silver dollar and stuck it thereon The editor wondered how the dollars were made to stick and as the last man left the hall he enquired of him as to this singu~ lar thing. The man réplied: “Mr. Editor, that is a miracle, but it is not the only miracle you have seen tonight, for this 18 your Obristmastree, and the men you saw were your subscribers who hit upon this ingenious method of paying their subscrip- tlon- : The editor awoke. He shiver- ed as he stopped upon the bare floor and he sighed as he thought of his dream, for dreams often go by coutraries.

Novel Reading. “It is very easy for one who reads a great many amusing books to take the whole matter too serious- ly,” writes Droch in The Ladies’ Home Journal. ‘Reading novels is neither ‘improving your mind’ nor ‘being literary.’ No doubt from the best fiction one may pick up a great deal of vaiuable observation of life which tends to general culture, and, moreover, there is among them some of the stuff that is called liter- ature. But knowledgé comes high, and the price of it can seldom be paid in the coin of the imagination. The person ‘who takes fiction seri- ously is apt to take life frivolously.’ If wecan only get out of a book something to put us in a better atti- tude toward the various kinds of people we meet, we cannot com- plain of its influence. ‘A novel is not and cannot be expected to be a ‘great moral agent.’ Morality is made of sterner stuff. But it doeg have an insidious influence on one’s ideals of manners and conduct. The whole tone of the man who writes {t is impressed ou his work.” a dF NT POISON ASPECIALTY.
