The latest Western drinker of
whiskey on a wager varied the usual
method by STIMULATING to turn q hand
spring between glasses. The double
gymnastic and bibulous feat was re,
peated nineteen times, and then the
performer collapsed in a helpless
heap, leaving the twentieth tumbler
emptied, but the corresponding flip
flap unaccomplished.

Ex-President Hayes is said to have
q more elaborate set of scrap-books,
classified and indexed, than any
other public man in the country. He
began the collection of scraps when
he was young lawyer in Cincinnati.
When lie was President, he kept one
of his clerks constantly busy cutting
and FASTING slips from the newspa-
pers. He should have q scrap book
of articles on how he got to be Presi-
dent.

The four colored alternate dele
gates-at-large appointed by the Re-
publican convention will go along rs
BARRIERS, body-servants, bottle hold.
ers and dish servers for the regular
delegates. The colored man is good
enough to vote at the polls, but not
as q delegate! The pretentions of
regard made for the colored brother
at Cleveland will prove a boomerang.

The Loganspors (Ind.) Pharos

The Loganspors (ind.) Phdros
puts it in this very forcible manner:
line is drawn. IL you favor a
continuation of war taxes, step to the
Republican side. If you believe in
the system Of high protection rob-
berry, step to the Republican side
If you favor reduction, pass. e to
The Democratic side. If you desire
that the burdens of the people be
lightened, step over to the Demo
cratic side. If You desire that the
revenues shall not exceed the needs
of the Government economically ad-
ministered, stand or the side OF the
tariff reformers. If you favor raising
revenues by taxing luxuries and not
the necessaries of life, enroll your
self with the Democratic party. The
issues have been joined. Those who
favor a high protective tariff should
vote the Republican ticket. Those
who favor tariff reform and a reduc
ton of the burdens unnecessarily i'm
posed upon the people of a great ant
growing nation, should vote thu
Democratic ticket. Will the peopl
vote for their own Interest,", or will
they vote to divide the profits ofthei
toll among the rich corporations?'

In the last twenty years the Gov
eminent has paid for interest on the
public debt the enormous sum of 3d.
OS9, OOO, 900, a sum which would de-
fray all the expenses of the Govern
ment, excepting interest on the pub
lie debt, for neatly nine years to
come, at the present rate of expendi,
ture; and for nearly thirty-five years
il expenses could be limited to
what they were in 1850.

The Philadelphia Press makes the

The Georgia Republicans got into
a squabble over allowing the colored
men to come into the state conven-
tion. A resolution to that effect was
voted down and one of the delegates
left the convention. He wanted sep
crate conventions by the white and
colored men. The platform adopted
faYors prohibition.

If the drift Of public opinion indi-
Gates anything in the future in re-
gard to the action Of the Democratic
and Republican National Conven-
tions, it looks very much as if the
Democratic Ticket would be Tilden
and Hendricks, and the Republican,
Blaine and Lincoln.

The Republican National Conven-
ton this year will consist of $40 del
egates, and will. therefore, require
AL votes to nominate. Neither Ar
thur nor Blaine will go into the Con-
vention with votes enough to nomi-
nate on the first ballot.

1t is stated that the decrease in the
money receipts for the present fiscal
year in comparison with last is only
five per cent. when a much larger
falling off might have been anticipa-
ted. Meanwhile, the number of two
cent stamps and stamped envelopes
sold in the two quarters of their use,
increased over the number of two
and three cent stamps sold in the
same two quarters of the previous
year by twenty-five per cent. The
decrease in the sale of postal cards
during the last quarter was nine and
one half per cent. showing a tendency
to an increase of letter correspond
ence.

Blaine supporters in Washington
are trying to appear satisfied with the

is a chance of his election, but claim
Blaine is the second choice.

The impression prevails among
the lawyers interested in the new
cases being pushed to test the Scott
law that the Supreme Court will de-
clare it unconstitutional. Some
think that the decision will be unan-
imous, as it is reported upon what
seems to be good authority, that
Judge johnson has changed his views
since his decision last year. The
Judge is on the Republican State
ticket this year, and he will look sew
eral ways before he jumps. The tax,
or one-half of it, is not due until the
Goth of June, and the court will GER
tainly render its decision before that
date.

The New York Herald enumerates
and weighs the apparent signs of an
approaching revolution in Mexico,
and concludes as follows:
And yet we do not think that any
revolt on a scale to upset the present
government or prevent the execution
of its designs concerning the sue
cession is likely to take place, how
ever threats of it may multiply dur
ing the few weeks before election
time.
Our reasons are twofold. First, be-
cause the corruption which is believed
to exist is as general as the. belief of
it. All the rats have been in the
cheese and it is only of late that the
cheese has proved insufficient to the
appetite of any part of them. Every
party, every faction has shared in
the plumber. If this had not been so
revolutions would have occurred
time and again during President
Gonzalez's term. The main differ
ence between the Mexico of the past
and the Mexico of the present is,
that whereas in the past epoch revo
l%utions were necessarily fomented
for til, purposes of plumber, in the
present epoch order has been %incess-
antly preserved for the same purpose.
However melancholy this is, and
however cynical the statement may
sound, it marks an immense advance
in the civilization of Mexico, ard we
do not expect any retrograde move
ment. Our second aso is that no
considerable revolutionary symptoms
are visible yet in the Mexican army,
and SO long a the army remains loyal
the railroads will enable its use for
the suppression of revolt with celebrity
and efficiency never known before.
