a postal card does not come within the
purview of the law, prohibiting the
mailing of indecent and immoral mat

THE President, after half a dozen
or more unsuccessful attempts to com.
plete the list of tariff tinkers, has al
last got the requisite nine, A. r.
Boteler, of West Va. and w. III.
McMahan, of New York, being the
latest appointees. 1t is charged that
the body is not only a packed one but
that it is about as weak as could have

BESIDES the republican State Con-
vention just held in Maine, five more
Conventions are to follow, the demo

f. f. Madden has sold his one-fourth

an 8x1O sheet set up in poster type.
The last adventure is sold at one cent.
WHEN Arthur was a ward politi-
clan in New York, the bummers and
others called him "Chet." This fa-
has:.as usual bred contempt,
for Arthur has given each man who
persists in calling him so, the cut di
rect. Chet is getting too big for mis-
trousers.
GUITEAU's counsel has made an ap-
plication for writ of habeus corpus to
Judge Bradley ofthe U. S. Supreme
Court, but it is generally thought it
