quiet bargains and a golden stream from

THE supremacy of blonde beauty has
had its day. Tho brunette has come again
to stay.
BEN BUTLER is Furnishing his armor
for the presidential fight. The latest YER
sion of the " spoons story shows him TO
have been suffering ignominy in silence all
these years, for the sake of shielding from

THE New Era objects to the general
government paying the debt of the South,

THAT misfortunes never come singly is
illustrated continually in the annals OF
journalism. A season of dullness is suc-
ceeded by season of sensations, mos: OF
them direful and tragic. For several
weeks the newspapers rioted, or wallowed
rather, in midsummer slush from the
watering pla,es or the Langtry Gebhaldt
rot. The telegraphers' strike woke them
up to the record of realities. Within a
week the Tivoli disaster, tho fall of a fur.
mace in New York state, the fatalities at
|sthe seashore, the terrible disaster on a
New York railroad, the suicide of the
Spanish minister, the bold attempt to
garrote a banker on a daylight train,
cholera and earthquake abroad, and
quick succession OF exciting local events
have warned the news editor that there is
no vacation for him.
