Tbere is almost as much amusement to
outsiders in New York politics as there IS
I'm a Grst-class minstrel snow.
Let the devil have his due. 1t is as
serted that while John Roach reduced
tbe wages OF his men 10 per cent. he also
reduced the rent Of the houses occupied
by them.
Will Blaine have important business IN
Augusta about the 4th Of March, or VIII
he STAY in Washington to be dragged
around as an attachment to Cleyeiands
triumphal carr
a sinking fund IS much better in our
noIiticaI economy than a floating debt. Il
GOOD large sinking fund viii hoat
states credit, while a very large floating
debt will often sink it..
Scientific efforts are 10 be made in Lon-
dom 10 ascertain where the celebrated fof
come from. The fOggy people OF Lond\A
come from the ten thousand gin mills that
line its myriads Of streets.
It's said that the country VIII soon be
aritated again over the mOmentOus CUES
uion as to the leading lady OF the land
Can't the constitutional amended SO as
20 settle this matter for all time!
Mr.. Hendricks has assured the negroes
that they shall have justice under Demo-
cratic rule. Mr.. Hendricks appears to
have overlooked the Fact that justice Is
what the negro politicians do not want
Whatever Of legislative protection the
Adirondack forests of New York may
need. there appears to be no scarcity Of
Senatorial timber among the Republican
politicians Of that state. IL Is quite natu-
raj that a good many of them should be
wooden heads.
It's now regarded as pretty certain that
the alleged flibUsteTs who were reported
TO have sailed for Cuba last week were
only a squad Of marOOners who are now
fishing and hunting on the Gulf coast OF
Florida. No doubt they will run into
some port in order to replenish their little
brown jug in a day or two.
1t is stated again that Hon. Frank Hurd
has actually made up his mind to contest
Romeis' right to a seat in Congress.
While there is a question as to whether
the latter is a citizen of the United States
or not. the contest viii be on the ground
of fraud. and the probabilities are that
Hurd has sufficient proof to make out his
case.
An incident occurred in Sullivan coun-
ty, n. Y, the other day which may or may
not throw some light on the Jonah ques-
ton. A fisherman caught large piekerel,
having used a live minnOw for bait.
Thirty-six hours afterwards the pickerel
was opened and the minnOw was found in
ats stomach alive. and it quickly swan on
when placed in water.
The question of requiring the armOries
of the local military organizations in
large cities to be constantly guarded is
being discussed in view Of the frequency
of riots and other outbreaks. The move
viii hardly be a popular one with the
volunteer militia. unless some provision
is made for the compensation Of the de-
tails when on actual duty.
One Of inventor Keely's ex-wOrkmen
has published a card declaring that the
motor deception is operated by compress
ed air alone, and can be kept running FIR
about dve minutes, during which time it
exhibits marvellous power. There are
reasons to believe that the machinist,
whose name is Baker, has exposed the
secret, and that he has cooked Mr.. keely's
goose.
The journey OF the famed Liberty Bell
20 New Orleans will not be its sfirst trip
away from Philadelphia. In 1871, when
the British were expected to occupy the
city, it was removed to Bethlehem, Pa,
where il was kept until after the evacua-
tiOn, when it was returned to the State
House steeple, where it remained IN use
until it was cracked, several years after
the war.
The indications are that the guns of the
Christian nations will resOund through
out the Congo valley before the Christian
missionaries get fairly to work among the
benighted people Of that part OF the
world. There will be no generous rivalry
for the privilege Of converting the heather,
but there viii probably be a bloody war
for the spOils that may be wrung from the
newly discovered country.
Some shrewd people in North Stoning-
ton. Conn.,. have been mailing consider
able money by raising foxes to supply the
demand which was created by the offer Of
s. bounty for each fox scalp by the au-
thorities of the township. A large num-
Der Of scalps were recently imported
from neighbOring townships. 1t seems
like the bounty is encouraging the pro-
duction instead of the determination of
foxes. and steps VIII be taken at once to
remedy the matter.
The st. Louis Republican says: "The
benefactOr TO whom the Southern cotton
States VIII owe more than to any other
claimant on their gratitude Will be the
man who shall persuade them to substi-
tute farming with all that it means for
planting with all that it means" Very
true; but the people of the Southern
s-totos have hoard sOnnthinr Of the kind
before. There are about 100000 benefac-
tors Of that kind now claiming the
gratitude Of the people.
