Ohio is good State for Presidents to come
from, but Rhode Island is the State for
Presidents to 'gt" from.
The Cincinnati Commercial has an ap-
prentice editor who writes small editorial
opinions and sticks them on an obscure in.
side page. As soon as there is a death or
vacancy on the editorial page the apprentice
will probably climb over the back fenceand
take position before the world.

1t is settled that the general offices of the
Ohio & Mississippi Road are on October lst,
to be removed from st. Louis to Cincinnati.
One reason assingned for the change is that
it is understood that at no distant day the
Baltimore & Ohio Company, which owns
the O. & NJ, will also control the Louisville
e. Nashville and Great Southern. In this
event headquarters, to he convenient and
centrally located should be in Cincinnati.

General Sam. Cary shook out the curs of
his raven locks before an audience at Steu-
benville. The burden of his song was his
old speech to "My fellow countrymen,'
the workingmen. Sam, once, when boy,
drove yoke of oxen for his father, and
has ever since labored under the delusion
that he was a ''workingman." There is no
evidence that he has ever attempted work
since, and we think Sam ought to give us a
rest.
Sam. Cary might as well whistle up hol-
low tree as to preach his nonsense to man
with five hundred or one Thousand bushels
of wheat in his barn and twenty to fifty
acres of corn waving resumption in the
field. The farmer knows he has resumed,
and no common particular fool can CON
vince him otherwise. He had hard time
to do it. but that is no reason he should
want to do it over again.
Senator Thurman has struck the soil OF
Ohio. His bandana has not been shaken
to the political breeze, but as soon as bottle
holder Thompson appears we may expect a
royal nasal salute.

We'll risk a small amount on Prince Plon-
Plon against Private Dazell for the blath-
erskite championship belt.
The last murder in Cincinnati was COM
mitted for So. Life is exceedingly insecure
at the home of Deacon Smith.
A telegram from Columbus, Ohio, giving
the particulars of bank robbery and of an
attempt to start an incendiary fire, says "a
large number of spcous-looking charac-
ters are in the city," 1t may be that the
State Republican Executive Committee is
in session. or that these "suspcious-looking
characters" are friends who have called to
see Gen. Comfy.

Now Cincinnati has got "'Pinafore on
the water" in the Geological Garden. There
is good chance for them to vary it with a
line about the tigers, and the lions, and the
elephants.
Washington Post
Since Colonel Ingersoll announced his
purpose of opposing the Republican party
Deacon Smiths Journal for serious families
has discovered that he is coarse grained
and superficial" 1t only remains to call
him a Confederate demagogue" in order
to polish him off in the deacon's usual
style.
