READ What the pennsylvania Independents
have to say about Blaine.
Jay Gould and Vanderbilt have again said
that there is good time coming They will
chit it" after while if they only keep on
prophesying.
The foreign press is greatly pleased with
Mr.. Cleveland's nomination, but this is not a
very good reason why the voters of this coun-
try should vote for him. It would be wiser to
vote for Mr.. Blaine, whose nomination was
not well received by the English papers
In answer to the conundrum, What will
Butler do9 the Boston Journal suggests that
he will run for Congress in the Eighth dis
trict of his own beloved State. In fact, the
Journal can say that it ''a1most knows
that such is the intention of the bold Ben.
We publish in another column commu-
nication from Professor Brewer protesting
against any more cannon-fring on the Green.
There ought to be no more of it. It is as
tonishing that the practice has been allowed
to continue so long Those who cannot ex-
press their feelings in any other way than by
making great noise with cannon should
do it where it will not injure anybody
There are now about twenty societies in
active operation in Great Britain and Europe
in the interest of the food reform movement,
the supporters of which are opposed to eat
ing animal food. Numerous restaurants are
open in England, Germany and France where
neither flesh, fowl nor fish is served, the va
| rieties of dishes of cereals, vegetables and
fruits extending to several hundreds, and
ranging in price from penny upward.
The National Cyclists union of Great Britain
recently went before Shaw Lefevre, the first
commissioner of public works, to ask him to
open the public parks to the wheel, not for
pleasure, but for passage. They claimed that
there were 100000 users of the wheel in
Great Britain, and that f2 500, 900 capital
was engaged in the manufacture of bicycles
and trieycles, employing from 5000 to 10, 900
men. If these figures are correct the matter
is pretty important one.
To-day, in Cincinnati, the proceedings to
disbar Campbell, the criminal lawyer who
was charged with completely in the efforts to
defeat justice that occasioned the riots in
that city, will come up ini the court. The
case excites the greatest interest, as threats
have been made that if Campbell is disbarred
he will take to the publication of newspa-
per and attack the lawyers engaged in the
practices of which he is accused If he
would it might be good thing for Cincin-
natl if he were disbarred
GA genuine lord, +" said Lord Ronald Cover
recently, ''has no need as a tourist in for
eign land to proclaim his aristocracy. 1
have travelled great deal in America and
almost all the while incognito. My expert
ence is that, though title may be pass
port to some circles of society, it is on the
whole a drawback among your people. 1t
subjects its possessor to two sorts of annoy
ance-that which arises from the common
dislike of aristocratic eminence and that
which comes from quite general doubt as to
it's genuineness."
That ancient cause of grumbling among
residents and holiday tourists, the water of
Venice, appears, from the report of the British
consul, to be now at an end Eight years
ago concession for bringing water from the
mainland was granted to English capitalists,
who transferred it to French company, by
which the project has just been brought to
completion at a cost of s1,000,0O0. The
great aqueduct passes under the lagoons
The municipality pays the company $4,000
year for the supply of good water to the 100
public wells, which are to remain open three
hours day; but after sixty years the water
works will become the property of the city
Private families are to get water at about ten
cents per thousand itres, equal to about 22O
gallons
The anarchist Schumacher, who was re-
Gently condemned to death in Vienna, ha
