A Key to Editorial Expressions.

An attentive reader Of newspapers
can zee a great deal more than ls set
down on the printed page. For in
stance, an expression common in thess
days Of nominations il: "Whilc .
portion Of the ticket is not such as No.
should have minated, we shall give
it our hearty support" This means
that tho edilor's most bitter enemy,
who will give the printing loihc other
paper il he can. is on the ticket, and
the editor hopes that the low down
reptile may bo b"aten out Of right.
In the caso Of distinguished orators.
tho remark: "Tho Hon. Mr.. Blank
was taken with sudden indisposion
and did not speak," mrans that tho
vcncrated statesman was too drunk To
hold his head up. The observation
means the samc thing when applied
to the lights of the American stage.
ave failpl to catch the last words Of
the sperch" means that tho rloqnence
at the critical period was drowned in
"budge" I'VE regret thst we havo
mol space to publish the genllemau's
eloqnent(cllort in full means that.
in the editors opinion, the speech
would have made a reflective mule
leave his oats, and that it would DO an
outrage on the public to print it.
"Wc may refer to the address here
after" means that the newspaper man
feels happy at getting OH; OF 1t this
time, and trusts that pcrdltion may
Seiza him II he ever mentions tho
matter again. In obituary notices
"coniestiun Of the BRAIN" when APP
piled to gentleman OF easy vi'ws in
regard to drinks, ineans dslirium
tremcns aud "lle was his own w"rst
enemy" means that the deceased was
a drunkari, and tho worst ell my of
the people WIN loaned him money.
Ale h,d his faults, who of us has
not?" is an equivalent expression. In
regard to performances, dramatic. and
otherwise, "Those who failed to l'o
present missed rich treat" means
that everybody "Ia;led." "rhc audi
cnce was small but apprecistiso"
means that nobody was present except
lthc holders OF coinplhnentarlrs.
"Owng to the inclcmency OF the
weather the audicnce was not what it
would have bccn," means that nnbudy
would have been there had the sky
bren as clear as crystal, and the neigh
borhood been tanned by the spicy
brcezcs, According to the hymn book.
"blsw soft o'er Ceslou'S isle" In
the way of dsrmslic criticism. "Mr.
Montmorency shows some crndity anil

A Wrong idea.

Many persons having gotten the
wrong idea that hops are strengthen

trust in that temperance preparation

Browns Iron Bitters. II gives real

Democratic Praying.

Rey. Mr.. Powers is the caucus
nominee for Chaplain OF tho Lower
House OF Congress. Since his nom
ination it has been discovered that lac
is not Republican, and u low OF the
iDeHbers OF that party are kicking al
tho IDEA Of having Democrat do the
praying for u House that has Ro-
publican majority. To an outsider il
appears that IL Mr.. Towers is a good
and true man aud q Democrat in
politics, he ia ,hc kind OF man needed
by an assembly Vt men where Re-
publicans are in ths majority. As a
Democrat he will be able TO realize
the awful nect ssily for dcvout prayer
and mighty wrestling at tho throne
Of grace IN their behalf. A Republi-
can would luil himself into believing
that no great amount OF prayer was
needed, and tho Republican party
would not haye all intercessor ut the
Throne Of Grace who was warmed
up in his work, or fully understood
the awful necessity for continual
PRAYER. Ii the party, with all its sins
ia ever to be sayed at all it will be
by Democratic praying. 1t ia well
known fact that the Republican par
ty has preyed without ceasing, aHd
il needs good deal more praying to

proper that the Chaplain of the
