Burlington Hawkeye (Rep.): The
business revival is getting an excellent
start, but it won't fairly reach the di-
mensions of boom until after the Presi-
dental election, when a Republican
House will reinforce Republican Presi-
dent in restoringp public confidence.
Detroit Free Press: An Elmira girl
took loaded pistol and shot a comrade,
after the fashion of Miss Lille Duer, of
Maryland. Her victim is not yet dead,
but it might be we'll for the Elmira girl
to prepare for emergencies by getting to-
gether $500, which is now looked on as
the standard price for killing girls.
Richmond (Va.) State: "The Stricken
South" is the heading mMy of the
Northern papers give to the yellow fever
news from Memphis. We submit that it
is unjust to the South. Memphis is only
one town in the far western portion of
this section and the whole South is not
stricken by any means; yet this is well
calculated to do us great injury.
New York Sun Dem.): 1t was not
General Stewart L. Woodford, but an
Ex-Governor of Georgia, who once re-
marked: II never deny newspaper stories
now. An editor on one occasion printed
a most dreadful accusation against me in
paper published in my own town, where
it reached the eyes of all my family and
friends. denied it, of course, promptly
and circumstantially, over my own sigma
ture, and what do you suppose the fellow

Chicago Inter-Ocean (Rep.):-General
Tom Ewing wants the people to keep
constantly in view that Providence, and
not the Republican party, is the author
of the bountiful crops. In case of fam.
inc, or grasshoppers, or, what is worse, a
full rule of the brigadiers, who would be
the author? Good times, prosperity, and
Republcanism, in some way, are init,
mately associated. 1t is equally true
that in the abodes of want and beggary
and crime Democracy is green and -four

Washing Post (Dem.): 1t isnow pro

and muscular ex-Superintendent of the

He was cruelty turned out of an Office

New Orleans Democrat Dem.) Th
campaign in Ohio seems to have veereC
around considerably, and the fight i
now being largely made over the Legis
, lature. That body elects a Senator mex

making an earnest fight for it. 1t i

Baltimore Gazette DENY: 1t is an

; Gus efforts are being made to induce Car
schurz to go to Ohio and make fe,
speeches this year. 1t is thought that h
l will deliver one of his impassioned $50
orations in Cincinnati about the middl
Of August, and, if the campaign fund
J large enough to warrant it, may make
i few speeches in other portions of tn

t Schurz accepted his seat in the Cabine
6 by express bargain with Mr.. Hayes, h
