Tho most melancholy spectacle in I American politics is that presented ' by senator Riddlebercrer, of Vir-! ginia. Five years ago Mr. Riddle berger came to the United States senate as a readjustee In those daj's a readjuster was practically a person whose principal claim to political distinction consisted in his opposition to the Democratic partv. In this capacity Mr. Rid- dleberger acted and voted the Republicans. During five years his conduct has with these been such as to secure for him the scorn of the Democrats and the con tempt of the Republicans. - During the past summer Sir. Riddleberger announced on sever al occasions that for the remainder of his term he proposed voting with the Democrats. He was moved to this course, he said, in order to get even with such leading Repub licans as Sherman of Ohio, Ed munds of Vermont, and Hoar of Massachusetts, who, he claimed cut him dead at every possible oppor tunity. "When Mr. Daniels, the new Democratic senator from Virginia, was sworn in Monday last, it was observed that he was escorted to the bar of the senate by Mr. Vance of North Carolina, a proceeding so unusual that it created considera ble comment, for it is an unwritten law ot the senate that on such oc casions the new member is inva riably accompanied by the senator from his own state. Mr. Daniels, it afterwards appeared, refused to accept Mr. Riddleberger's escort. This so offended the Virginia read juster thatshe threw himself bodi ly into the Republican camp. Then Mr. Edmunds prepared a little trap for Mr. Riddleberger, into which the Virginian quickly fell. Mr. Edmunds invited Mr. Riddleberger, in his blandest tones, to become a member of the Re publican caucus committee, whose duty it was to arrange the commit tees for the session. An honor so unusual transported Mr. Riddle berger to the seventh heaven of delight. He accepted "with alac rity. It does not appear that his connection with the caucus com mittee secured for him any better assignment; than he had last year, THIS ! ! BECK but it is certainly true that his con nection with the committee has bound him so strongly to the Re publican majority that he must for the remainder of his term vote and act with that party. A Triple Alliance. Uuappilv lor the wretched ictim of their assault, dyspepsia, constipation and bil iousness are faithful allies. When one of these foes attack tne system, the other two speedily follow hi its wake, and successive ly make their onslaught. Successively, but not successfully. If Hostetter's Stomach Bit ters be used to repel the onset. The Bitters as easily extirpates these monsters as St. George is depicted in the act of doing to the drason in the steel vignette upon the glass bottles which contain the medicine. Their night, like their adtance.is nearly simultan eous Their mutuality is d ?troyed. they lK-ecipitately retreat, leaving hc.ilthmaster or the position and strongly eutrenciied by the Hitters. This grand rortifler Is also a re liable bulwark against the insidious assaults of malarial disease, and itops the approach of rheumatism, it, moreover, relieves nerv ous complaints, and imparts vigor to the weak. Where Are the Pive Millions? Philadelphia, Dec. 12. Rep resentatives of dissatisfied local as semblies of the Knights of Labor met yesterday and adopted a reso lution that all local assemblies make a demand, when the general executive board meets, for an itemized account of air-the expen ditures made by that body during last year, so that they may know where and how $5,000,000 was dis bursed. If the general executive board should decline to render such account they propose to com pel it do so by law. Don't neglect your cough ! Avers Cherry Pectoral will cure it, and prevent consumption.
