r. We occasionally receive long circular
from the publisher of some daily paper, explain
ing that he is compelled to do business OH bust
ness principles; that to exchange his daily for a
country weekly is too heavy tax, and he shall
have to demand a few dollars difference, or stop
the exchange. That's all right. No need to send
apologetic circulars on the subject. Whenever
any paper cannot afford or doesn't want to ex-
change with the Chief, the remedy is simple
just quit it. We can't afford to exchange with
half the papers that ask it; but we don't send
out any circulars explaining why-we just don't
exchange.

~ Senator Mahone's acting with the Repub,
lcans has spoilt the Democratic programme, and
brought them to grief. They were determined,
with the help of old David Davis, to organize
withlDemOcratic Committees and officers; but
Mahone's movement makes the Senate tie, and
gives the Vice-President the deciding vote, and
the Republicans have recognized the Commit
ties, and will elect officers. Suddenly re-
organization has become illegal, and the Demo
cratic members are determined to resist it. The
Most humiliating thing about the whole busi-
ness is, that Malone, weighing only 81 pounds,
should offset David Davis weighing $50.

BOURBON BLUSDERISG.-The unfailing genius for
laundering possessed by the Democrats in Congress
has marked their whole management Of the Senate

train in sight of irresistible reinforcements. To put
forward Ben Hill as their ring master was mistake
number 9. His plantation bluster might have intim-
idated of the old Northern donghfaces, but com

Spencer, of the Christian Church.
Mrs. johnson was seventy-nine
years of age, lacking few weeks,
and was one of the very Oldest in
habitan4s of the city, having set
tied here in 1916. She was one OF
the first members of the Presbyte-
rian Church in this city, and has al
ways been a jealous and earnest
communicate of that denomlna-
ton. She was widely related here,
and her exemplary life, as moth
er and Christian, had greatly en-
deared her to all who knew her.
Her remains were followed to the
city cemetery by large concourst
of bereaved relatives and friends.
