The Republican state Convention
that met last week condemned the
call of the extra session of the Leg
islature. Correct, Correct! The
Democracy never learn wisdom. They
have gotten themselves into so a
day Legislative steal, which de-
luge of weeping, crying, shouting,
shrieks of reform cannot wash out.
TIE several branches of the Pres
byterian church that could not think
of adopting organ music at church
service have at last given up the con-
test against the introduction of or
gan music They are still not up to
many of tie other churches, for many

ed the horn, the violin and so forth.
The bicycle rider is happy over
''the decision of a Washington Judge
who fined man so for riding down
and breaking one of those machines.
Henceforth the bicycle, which has
suffered unjust contumely, will ride
proudly among vehicles. BY the
decision of the learned Judge, the
bicycle is a carriage, and all carriages
are created equal under the law.
PATT1sONs extra session of the Leg
islature at so day to secure an
opportionment is as much in favor of
the Democracy as possible, regard
less of the waste of so a day, for
each member of the Legislature, and
the Ill timed attack on corporations
and so forth Will insure the election
of Republicans at the coming elect
ion.
CoRRUPT1oS is working its way
steadily, surely into the management
of the common school system. To
illustrate it, a despatch from Ohio
says, teachers positions, it is discov-
cred, have been sold in Cincinnati
one for $500 Another despatch on
the same point, from California says,
San Francisco has school director
who has sold ianitorship for 500,
and other positions have been sinl-
arly disposed of.
E. Y. SACKETT an Erie county Jaw
yes had business in Erie city one
day last week. He WAS going along
quietly on the pavement when two
detectives came up to him and pro
posed to arrest him declaring him
to be a runaway of a California bank.
He protested, they read the descript
ion of the man they were looking for
and declared it to be him. He
knocked them down but they called
for help, and arrested him. He then
called up friends, and they told who
he is. The detectives are greatly
crest fallen over Their mistake.
A NEW YORK religious paper re-
marks that the Democrats are hav-
ing a hard time over the tariff ques
ton They forsee that it will be the
prominent question in the next pres
idential election; but, unfortunately
for their comfort, they cannot agree
among themselves as to the position
to be taken. 1t is difficult for then
to play the dodge game, and just
about as difficult for them not tc
play it.
The New York Independent says
an Arkansas circuit Judge has actually
decided that to burn ones own prem
ises does not constitute arson under
the laws of that state. Before rep
ROTATING this Judge, we must remem
Der that the province of judges is tc
expound laws, not make them, and
this decision may, therefore, be per
fectly correct. If so, there is loud
call in Arkansas for improvement oi
the law, and as the legislature does
not meet again until 1885, there is
one state where unwritten insurance
policies are the safest.
