PTTH OF THE PRESS.

New Haven Register: This N-eastern
question is forever rising.
Buffalo Express: Red tape permits the
Indian to starve and then kill him if he
thrashes around and makes a fuss about 1t.
Rome Sentinel: The wise man placeth
the stock of his gun to his shoulder before
he fireth, but the fool looketh down the
barrel to see the ball start.
New York Herald October's City Bank
ruptcy Statistics show a marked improve
ment over year ago We seem to have at
last got fairly started on the up grade.
New York Tribune (Rep,): Nobody is
surprised that Nephew Pelton keeps so
quiet The wonder would be general were
he to attempt to unload his conscience ON
the public.
Newark Advertiser (Rcp.): Those who
think that we can shut ourselves out from
the rest of the busy world and have an in
hated currency based on popular caprice
ins cad of gold are either children fools or
lunaticS.
Baltimore Gazette: If the King of Da-
honey should send word to our Govern
mcnt that he would like to have an Ameri-
can Minister at his Court, and that he pre-
ferred red-headed men, we would feel
called upon to recommend James E. Ander-
son, as much as we dislike intermeddling
i'll politics.
New York Sun (Dem.): General and pub
lie attention has again been drawn to the
fact that Captain jerks, the husband of
Mrs. Jenks has a place in the Treasury De-
partment by the fact that he has been called
the yellow fever.
Rochester Democrat (Rep): The Demo
Gratis of this State are making still hunt,
for the simple reason that they have no
cause to champion. They are compromised
on the currency question in nearly every
county, and can speak for neither honest or
fiat money without offending voters. The
leaders have the idea that it is best not to

question is a laughing stock.
N. Y. Evening Post: The Cuban Govern
ment is not reckoncd the uppcrmost in the
scale of political education, but it appears

When a lax administration like that in
Cuba can make hearty effort to purify its
service, it seems a pity that the admins
tration at Washington can not be better
sustained in its efforts in the same direc
ton.
Philadelphia Ledger: The Scotch author
tiles have not only put the Glasgow City
Bank Directors in prison, refusing heavy
bail offered for one OF them, but have
charged them with fraud and theft in plain
English. 1t is good sign when such sir
regularities" as the Directors have COM
mitted do not affect the language of the
country, and when a man who steals
millions is called thief without any quail
fcation of the term. There is then pros
pect that he may be punished as thief.
Burlington Hawkeye: One night las
week, at a party in Toronto, young mar
was frightening some young ladies by hi'
daring exhibition of a revolver, when the
weapon was accidentally discharged, the
! bullet entering the young mans side, in
hictng a serious wound. We have said ;
great many harsh things about these young
men whose revolvers contain more thar
their heads, but we retract everything now
, At last revolver has been found tha
knows which man to shoot. May its tribe
increase.
