1t appears the Republican party
continues to regard politics as much
a matter OF dollars as 1t did when
nearly half a million was put where
it would do the most good in Indiana
in 1850. 1t is stated IN what seems
to be trustworthy way that Gov.
FOSTER has just raised quarter OF
4 million to cover "the legitimate
expenses of the Ohio campaign,
going down into his own pocket for
solid twenty-five thousand. And
vet there are signs and portents
which suggest that he will not be en-
t,rely happy when the returns come
in. 1t may be that you can do almost
anything in politics with money, but
it seems that quarter of million
is not enough to buy Ohio this year.
Present indications suggest that the
Republicans have got a bigger job
on hand than thew had in Indiana
two years ago, and all over the state
the men who run the machine are
complaining that they have mt
enough to work the thing right.
That is bad enough; but what is
worse is the lamentable fact that
there is no star route ring to
turn a golden stream into Ohio.
Meantime the Democratic tidal wave
is all over the state, while the Re-
publican leaders are begging pite-
ously for more ,noney.-Mo. Re-

We regret to see our trleno, tine little
Major Of the Topeka Capital, in such
bad state Of mind as he is exhibiting in
these latter days. His especial aversion
seems to be the newspapers. The latest
victim of his terrible wrath Is his
former co-laborer on the Capital, John
ME Coulter. Only last week it was the
newspaper mutual admiration society"
that excited the Majors "green-eYed
jealousy" and now it is Coulter's Kan
sas bureau in the Kansas City Journal
that is disturbing his liver. The Majors
bucking against the newspapers all
around him reminds US of what the fel-
low said about the bull that tackled the
locomotive. he said he admired the an
imal's spunk but he thought his discre-
ton was little faulty. And the Capt.
tai man will find himself in just about
the situation the bull occupied after the
tussel was oVer-ditched, if he is not
careful. There is no doubt but that the
Major covers a good deal of terri
tory when he lets himself loose, but
we fear he is not equal to the task of
giving the entire press of the state a
black eye. We are really at loss to
know what ais our neighbor anyhow.
Spring is here and everything looks
cheerful. If he failed in reaching the
mark of the prize of his calling as the
manager of a railroad organ, the press
is not to blame, as we see. We guess
the major had better soak his head IN 9
teacup of cold water, rub some st.
Jacobs oil on his sore shins and take a
sound sleep. He will then feel better
toward his fellow men in general and
toward his newspaper brethren in par

The mystery grows out of the action of
q small pair of scales in the shop OF a

ST.. LOUIS, April 16.-The following
story comes from Williams' Rancho, in
Brown county Texas, under date of the
18th: About two O'Clock this morning
q ponderous meteor fell at the outskirts
of the town. killing several head of cat
tie aud completely destroying the dwell
ing house of MsTtinez Garcia, e Mexi-
can herdsman. who, with his family
consisting Of his wife and I've children
are buried beneath the meteor. In its
descent the meteor resembled . massive
ball CT fire, and the shock was similar to
that Of an earthquake. It Is still hot
and sseaming. It is embedded in the
earth probably 200 feet and rises above
the surface Of the earth about 40 feet,
and il will cover about one acre OF
ground. The conclusion was terrific.
NgariY every window In the town was
shattered and the people were
hurled violently from their beds.
The goods In stOrehouses were thrown
from the shelves and everything thrown
into state OF confusion. No lives were
lost as far a. known, except the Mexi-
can and his family, although several
bgildiags fell The,cattle fed in terror
In every direction. the ar was flied with
sulphurous gas, and the widest confu-
sion prevailed, a. il was long time be-
fore anybody could even conjecture
what It was. This Is the largest meteor
that has ever fallen In Texas. Il has
already been Visited by many people.
and will doubtless continue to attract
attention for months to come.

A great railroad exposition will be
held at Chicago on the Gath of May, and
1t will last for month. Everything re-
lating to the American system of rail-
roads will be exhibited, from the most
powerful locomotive to the latest style
of baggage check. The American sys-
tenn of railroads is, without doubt, the
most perfect in the world. The very
fact that the whole railroad system has
been reduced to an absolute matter OF
business has keen the greatest factor in
this efficiency. 1t would be perhaps
better tor the people if the railroads
were owned by the government and I'M
der government control, but if this had
been the case the railroads themselves
could not have attained such a high de.
gree of efficiency. They rest on a pure
ly commercial basis. They are not pro.
tected as our manufacturers arc, and
they have risen without any ex;raneous
aids to be mighty power, and their
management exhibits the highest de-
gree of executive ability. 1t is this eff
ficiency that makes them SO potent az
oppressors of the people.

be, will have TO be satisfactory TO the
South If he is to stand any chance of en-
election. If this condition is complied
with, Butler has poor prospect before
him. The expressions of opinion from
the Southern Democratic papers are
strongly hostile to his candidacy. The
Charleston Netcs says: "Builer is smart
and rich and persistent; and it is posi-
