Merry OctoI,cr
. Tho skies they were ashen and sober;
The leaves they were withered and sere

"Tho skies they were nshen and sober;
The leaves they were withered and sere;
Twas o night in the lonesome October"
So sang poor dismal Poe, to whom all
things seemed ashen, sober, withered,
sere, and lonesome. Another woeful poet
has sung of the October days as "the
saddest of the year." Weappear as coun-
sci for October, and deny each and every
allegation against it. We claim that it is
right merrie" month. 1t gives US
our earliest change from the long drawn
out summer heat to the brisk and ting
ling air, charged with the electricity and
oxygen which belong to frost. 1t brings
opening chestnut burrs for the school
boys, splendid drives for lovers, prepara-
tions for the social season, brilliant colors
in the changing foliage, and, in short,
that boon to all mankind, old and
young-change. The church people have
their pastors back again; the school chill
dren are in the higher grades to which
their last years study raised them
the hotels are reopening; the
residences of our citizens are being
set in order for winter; the theaters are
in the full tide of prosperity the races
at the National Fair Grounds are going
on; our merchants have their hand
some stocks on exhibition, and the ladies
bravely battle with piles of sand, old
bricks, and cement, where new side
walks are being laid, in order to reach
the tempting piles of dress goods which
lie beyond those usual fall distractions.
The Lonesome October" indeed! "Sad-
dest days" Fudge! 1t is busy,
CHEEKY, exhilarating month. A few
dead leaves and some gray skies are
not enough to offset its liveliness and it's
gorgeous changes of scenery. We have
lived in this world more years than we
care to say; and it is our testimony that
whether one is in New England, Cali
fornia, or in this mid-region of the
Northerly-South, or the Southerly-North
whichever you choose to call it), there
is no month in the year in which the
world has more fun than in October.

Some time since the local Republican organiza.
tions called upon Blaine to come this way, and
lend hand toward the great and Sisyphean labor
of rolling a Republican majority up very diff
cult hill; but Blaine was muter than any mack
erel in Maine. But If we may credit all the re-
ports OF the canvass Blaine has at last really come

we would prefer TO doubt it, for II it Is true II is

THE New York Times is glad the DEM
ocratic party is getting to be good, be-
cause it gives honest Republicans like
George Jones somewhere to go, you
know. The Times remarks that, afterall,
citizens of the United States cannot
expect any other protection than they
can obtain from the States in which they
live-that is to say, the citizen of State
owes paramount allegiance to the Nation,
but the Nation owes paramount allegi-
ance to the State! This is quite an old
doctrine. See resolutions of 1898.

There is no instance in the history of
the world of government overcoming
a great rebellion and dealing with the
insurgents so kindly as the United States
dealt with those who for four years en-
deavored to overthrow it's government.
Wo have quarrel to mako with this
course, and do not object that the people
of the late insurgent States should elect
as their State officers and members of
Congress those who shared with them
the troubles and dangers of the rebellion.
if they arc now satisfied that the United
States is Nation, and that its newly
enfranchised citizens should have their
rights. Many of the officers of high rank
in the confederate army, and large
number of the soldiers from the border
States, were Union men, who only went
into the war because their neighbors
did. This was the result of their teach
ings.
There is another matter of great i'm
portance to the prosperity of the South
ern States, in which the government
ought TO deal with great liberality. Many
of the railroads in the South were used
by the Union Army in transporting
troops and supplies, and their use con-
tributed greatly to the success of the
Federal Army. They were turned back
to the stockholders greatly injured and
at ruinous prices. These roads are neces-
sary to the development of the Nation.
The majority of them are poor, and it is
the duty of the government to deal lib
orally with them and accept any reason
able compromise of their indebtedness
which they may offer. This is due to the
railroads as we'll as to the development
ofthe country, to which the general gov
ernment ought always to look.

deep in his twenty years nap. Five, ten.
twenty minutes passed and he did not
waken. The audience began TO get i'm
patient, and the prompter uneasy The
great actor doubtless knew what he was
about, but this was carrying the realistic"
business too far The fact was that all
the time Jefferson was really sleeping the

gallery became uproarious, and one OF the

opened small trap beneath the stage and
began TO prod Rip from below. The
mnch-trsyeled comedian began 10 tumble
in his pocket for an imaguary ticket, and
mut,ered drowsily, ''Going right through

with amazemeni at this entirely new read

asperated prompter had "jabbod" him
