Jim Anderson has got a job Tor
next writing circus adver-
tisements,
1t has just been discovered that
Colonel Ingersoll writes poetry.
Gentleman, that shelves another
presidential aspirant.
Senator Thurman will exhibit at
the Georgia state fair. We haven't
learned the names of the rest of the
menagerie.
How useful Buffalo Bill" might be
to the government il he could only
shoot Indians as fast on the plains
as he does on the stage.
Joe Poe has been nominated for
congress by the Cleaveland Demo-
Gratis. By an easy transition he will
sign himself. after election, ~Po' Joe."
Kearney says he is mot a sympa-
thizer with strikes" Nothing we
have heard moves US to such warm
sympathy and cordial friendship for
strikes as this.
On the body ola man who was
struck by lightning last week. four
autograph albums were found. Cut
this out, young woman, and paste it
in your own album.
An eastern exchange says that ~up
to July IL. the Arctic whaling feet at
Davis Straight had not caught a
whale" Why under the sun don't
they spit on their bait? z
George William Curtis and Rev.
John Jasper still cling sadly to their
cherished delusions; one believes the
sun do move" and the other believes
In civil service reform.
One by one our idols are shattered
and the gods we worshipped prove to
be OF common mould It has just
been discovered that Thomas Jeffer-
son kept a scrap book.
One thing never worried George
Washington. he never sat in q
prominent chair at an evening party
and wanted to cry because the legs
of his trousers crept halfway to the
top OF his boots.
The religious papers Of England
are discussing the momentous ques-
ton, @Ought clergyman to wear
mustaches?" We think, as cold
weather comes on. they should, and
on days Of extreme severity, they
might add pair OF trousers and 9
thick vest.
Mr.. Beecher was badly beaten a
croquet every time he played In Min
nesota. This goes to prove two
things We have always maintained
that Mr.. Beecher will not lie and
cheat He may get little mad
sometimes, but he lacks the qualifi
cations Of successful croque'
player.
@Has the poor man any rights II
this country a rich man is bound te
respect?@ asks the Socialist, savagely
Well, yes. We once saw a man worth
$685. 900 step clear over the curbstons
and stand In the gutter to give the
whole sidewalk to q house painter
and his two apprentices, on theil
way to work. And they didn't ask
him to, either.
Gen. Weaver Is q consistent fiat
money man. He would just as soon
chew up a milk ticket when he IL
thirsty, as drink quart OF milk. Sc
long as the ticket is good for the
milk, it suits him just as well. When
he wants to go to Chicago he buys q
ticket, sits down In his Office, and &C.
tually believes that he goes to Chi
cago without getting out OF his chair,
because his ticket says it is good for
passage to Chicago
The Mormons now number about
three hundred thousand, one-half oi
that number living in Utah, and they
are the ugliest people that eveI
frightened the daylight. We have
seen probably about eleven hundred
Mormon immigrants pass through
Burlington within the last five years
The first delegates were so awfully
hoinely the railroad officials made
them hide under the car seats wher
the train passed through the stations
and every successive crowd was ugliel
than the one that preceded 1t. We
don't care il Utah Is full OF Mormons,
and we don't care how much they
multiply. but they shouldn't be al
lowed to 60 out except after dark.
We are glad the circus season il
about over. For some time past we
haye enjoyed reading exchanges
which have the delinquent tax-list on
the first page, the proceedings OF the
board OF supervisors on the second
and third, and a circus advertisement
on the fourth, but its getting to be q
little monotonous and we are pleased
now to find on the fourth page a mo-
tice Of a new liver pill, a sale oi
blooded stock and thanks for a pecL
OF apples.
