There is nothing like a cyclone to
make a hung jury arrive at a COM
mon decision. When a recent Iowa
tornado unroofed a court house in
that state in which was quartered a
hung jury, it found a verdict in less
than a minute.
America is to posstss England's
fairest Lily after all. The New York

The Illinois Legislature has been
in session four months, and has sent
only four bills to the Governor for
his signature. That Legislature is a
slow coach. The late Montana Leg
islature was not in session half that
time before the Governor vetoed
nearly hat number of bills.
Newspaper correspondents are find
ing signs of Tilden's failing health
in his voice. Some of them say it is
becoming weak and husky, while
others state it is strong enough when
asking questions and shows weakness

them. Uncle Sammy's health is a
matter of great solicitude to the Re-
publican party at the present time.

Commenting upon the Pope's cir.
cular, a prominent Irish editor says:
"We have divorced religion from pol
itits in Ireland. When the Pope
speaks ex-cathedra is.opinion will
be respected, but when he talks of
the politics of Ireland, we have just
as much respect for his opinion as
for that of any other man of ability,
no more, no less. If he takes sides
with England against Ireland, then
We will be against the Pope"

Troublesome bedfeIlow in his con-
science. Doubly guilty and in every
respect o deserving OF punish
n'ent than the two men whom he
has sent to their long account his

They have a novel way for account
ing for missing funds in Brazil. A
public ,%fficer, short in his accounts,
explained the deficit by declaring the
ravenous ants peculiar to that coun-
try, had got into his strong box and
eaten up the money. Now if How
gate, Wassen and the thousand and
one other Republican defaulters had
stumbled" to the ant "racket" what
a vast amount of unpleasantness
would have been avoided.

Some enthusiast in Helena recently
proposed to devote S 1000 to a cele-

Council, however, killed the project.
No doubt they had the experience of
Otlier cities on this coast in their

thing over again-on the completion
of tie Central or Southern Pacific"
