A REPORTER of Chicago newspaper
was dismissed last week for speaking
of Chicago business house as ''the
largest in the West" instead of 'slar-

THERE will be marked change in the
tendency of things, or our stylish young
ladies will get to wearing their hats so
far back that they will have to lift them
when they sit down.
JUDGE Davis has sat on the fence so
long that his weight is beginning to tell,
and he will try to tack section on the
deficiency bill calling for an appropria-

TIE President is endeavoring to puri-
fly the public service, and free it from
influences which have doubled its
cost and halved its efficiency. There can
be no doubt as to which side the people
viii take when they fully and fairly I'M
derstand the questions at issue.-Buta-

asked pastor of a young lady in his
Bible class. The young lady blushed
and hesitated but on the question being
repeated, the ingenious maiden said: ''I
don't like to tell you his name, but I
have no objection to tell you where he
lives.
LUCKY Mr.. EUsTIs He gets nearly
four years back pay, amounting to
$4,000, in a lump, besides s., 600 or
So, 900 for mileage. And all the time
for which he draws this handsome az
rearage of salary he was member of
the Louisiana State Senate, and no doubt
made a comfortable living out of that
position. Cleveland Herald.
THE idea of passing a bill making 80
cents worth of silver a legal-tender for
100 cents, or of a lopez cent reputation
is not wholesome one to contemplate.
Such possible contingency ought to
stir up the people to insist upon the
preservation of the public faith. If we
mean reputation let us say SO frankly,
and not attempt to accomplish it by in

SENATOR DAVIS has introduced q bill
to establish Court of Appeals. That
is what this country needs; something
to suppress this 1lefarious traffic in ap
plies that are fair to look upon in the top
layer, while in all the rest of the barrel
the worms have such majority that on
division of the house they can outvote

WHY don't scme of those papers pro-
fessedly Republican, which SO bitterly
oppose President Hayes administration,
point out better policy or keep still.
The majority of the people irrespective
of party or locality, seem well pleased
and the country is becoming more pros
porous, and we don't see that the anti
republican squealers are doing the
country any good or themselves any
credit in pursuing the policy they do.

reporter, who, as a first job, was detail
ed to report sermon. He returned to
the office at Ii :55, and at 2 80 a. m. was
reminded that the paper was going to
press and that little copy would be &C
ceptable. He slowly rose and ejacula-

THE other day Mr.. Bartholomew
came home and found the children in
the back yard, throwing frosted toma-
toes at effigy constructed of his summer
clothes and his stovepipe hat. Immedi-
ately upon his arrival the air was rent
with hideous bowls and calculations of
pain. ''Mercy on us" exclaimed visi-
tor in the parlor, "what is that?' ''Oh,
nothing placidly replied Mrs. Barthol-
omew, ''only another strike among the
minors. Huntington Hoackeye
IT seems to be the ambition of all
young wives to look well when any one
calls. Yesterday a South Side bride
heard a ring at the front door. The maid
was out, and she rushed up stairs to
elk up" a little before admitting the
caller. There was moment Of light

Quicker than it takes us to tell it, rib

stabbed into her hair, a flash of powder
