left luxurious home. the result Of the first
glass Of wine, his restitution, his final restora
ton are stnkingly portrayed. We bespeak for
the author success. The interest among the
singers is general and the work is being prose-
cuted vigorously. A concert may be expected

The Postoffice Department has just made the
Corrunna american one of it's official organs
as we'll as the organ of the Member OF Con-
gress of the District in which Corrunna is sitn-
ated. by appointing the publisher Of that Jour
nal to the Office OF Pc stmaster 1t will hereaf-
ter be exclusively engaged in rarsuading the
people that the increase of salaries was all right
that there is nothing In back pay that the
people should protest against. that the charg-
ing the same postage OH the local paper that
does not travel one rod through the mails as
the blanket sheet that is printed in New York
is charged for trip to San Francisco, Is also
all right.
We have no doubt but that Journal will see a
righteous provision in the proposed New
Constitution whereby it provides that the Cir
cult Judges shall be appoint by the Govern
or, and the people pay any amount o. salary
the Legislature may prescribe without % suit
ing them about the matter at all.
But we think the people will see thee thinga
in a different light, and when vot ng time
comes enlghten rings and their organs az tc
their views OF such little and unimportant
matters. We take it that they never will give
their PERMISSION to tho Governor to appoint, OF
the Legislature to fix salaries without first
consulting themselves.

The New York sun says: "When Caldwell,
who bought seat in the United States Senate
from the Kansas Legislature, was permitted to
resign his Office in order to avoid a dsgraceful
expulsion, vacancy in the Senate was created
which the Governor of Kansas had the power
to fill temporarily by appointment until a new
election should be held. Gov. Osborn has
avalled himself Of this opportunity to offend
public sentiment and perform political bari
kari by appointing to the vacant seat person
named Crozier OF Leavenworth, who is known
as one Of the most disreputable Of Caldwell's
confidential agents. This appointment, it is
believed, was made in order to induce Caldwell
to aesist Osborn in his design to secure the
regular election to the Senate from the Kansas
Legislature but judging by the expressions Of
disgust which the appointment has elected from
the Kansas newspapers, without distinction Of
party, the act has completely annihilated all
the Governors chances for the fulflment Of
his ambitious desires"

They might have sent us a copy Of the paper

A Parsons Rebuke ParrEed /.

In the good old days of "eye open
ers," "phlegm- cutters" "night caps,
ETC., there lived in the ancient town OF
Portsmouth minister who had but lit
tie charity for the drinking customs Of
the times, and who never lost an oppor-
tunity to administer q sharp rebuke to
those who INDUCED. Occasionally,
however, he found some one who scar
ried too many guns for him, as witness
the following: The parson was very
early riser. and one fine morning, as he
was going past the corner grocery, he
espied Squire-on his way to the
shop for his morning dram. After the
usual salutations, the reverend gentle
man says to the Squire:
''It appears to me that you start pret-
ty early for your nipple '''
Yes" replied the Squire; "but early
as / am, l find the parsou is ahead of
me-"
The good man never ventured to re-
buke the Squire after that.
