An item is going the rounds of the
the press to the effect that Ex-
Governor Osborn, of Kentucky, has
been appointed Minister to Chill.
The Governor is not from Kentucky,
but from Kansas. His appointment is
wei received by the people of his
state, and we have no doubt he will
discharge the duties of his important
Office with credit to himself and honor
to his government The mission to
Chill has been filed by Kansas men
ever since the admission of that State
into the Union. Governor Osborn

A Specimen.

A fair specimen of the reform states
manship of the late Democratic House
of Representatives may be found in
the nigardly policy pursued toward the
army. "Chickens come home to roost :"
The people who elected these immacu-
late resormers are now beginning to
reap the results of their foolishness.
Under the cheap cry of economy and
reform, but for the real purpose of man
ufacturing political capital, the last
Democratic House refused to make
sufficient appropriations for the army.
The result is, that to-day the War De
)artment sends circulars broadcast over
the country, asking the peop.e TO fur
nish labor, transportation, and supplies
and take the risk of collecting their pay.
This is done because officers are forbid
len to pledge TO the credit of the govern
ment beyond the amount of the appro-
priation.
To see a government which boasts of
it's statesmanship-a government Of
more than forty millions of people
government whose securities are
eagerly taken at per cent cash, in the
money markets of the world-a gov
ernment which glories in the superior
ity of free institutions-to see such a
government begging on the highways
and by-ways for supplies for handful
of soldiers, who are ridiculously ca led
an army, is truly humiliating specta-
Gle.
No more pitiful comment upon Demo
cratic craftsmanship could have been in
vented than the begging circulars of the
War Departmentwhicha are beinghawked
about the streets to-day, to be spit upon
by the honest producers of the country.
In like manner they willspit tupon the au-
thors of this national disgrace. The mas
terly financial strategy of these peddlers
of "Peter Funk" reform, remind us
forcibly of those good old days under
the last Democratic administration,
when grandfather Buchanan procured
loans for the government at II per
cent, interest; the only difference being
in favor of the Buchanan plan, because
it was the more honorable one.

always likes to play jokes, and in fact, is very
successful joker but tables will turn sometime
Party number one left this young man and his
party on the ice and started home by way of the
lake house and the Fulton road. When they
came to the stable, one of them conceived the
idea that it would be a good joke on joker to
run his buggy to a partially hidden fence corner
in the woods and remove his horse to a remote
stall, which they Immediately did and then
hooked up their own rig and came home When
the other party came in, the young man in ques
ton noticed his buggy was not where he had left
it, and also glanced into the stable and saw his
horse gone and immediately concluded The other
party had taken it, and on that conclusion he and
his party footed 1t all the way home, leaving his
rig at the lake, and within couple of rods of the
point from which they started.
