Punch informs Mr.. Hendricks tha
''while the elephants tail may holt
itself on proud equality with the
trunk. nobody will feed hay to it,"
An exchange says onion socials are
all the rage, and this is how they are
worked: 'Six ladies take an onion
with them into room and one oI
them tdloes bite of it Then q young
gentleman is admitted to the game.
and if, after kissing them all, lac fails
to tell which of them bit the onion,
why, then ell the girls are to kiss him. .
The Springfield Mass, Union says
Now, gentlemen democrats, bring on
your good times. You have carried
the election. Now show the people
|. you promised unlimited prosperity in
return for Cleveland and Hendricks
votes. The rest of us can stand pros
perity first rate, and so please hurry up
and bring it along.
Winter has always been our livliest
season, but the present one promises
to be almost devoid of any kind of
business activity. laundering is being
conducted on very limited scale and
there is virtually no work at any price
for the majority of working men. If
this is the change that We hove heard
SO much about, God save us 'front.' an
other one like it. 1t is impossible to
get the change, that's what ails us. -

The net result of the investigation
of the missdeeds of the republicans at
the October election in Cincinnati thus
far is comprised in discovery and
OF democrats Importer rom Chicago
to vote at S15 apiece, and conviction
of democratic Lieut. of police for
arresting republicans on election day
without cause and keeping them con-
fined in a cellar until the polls were
closed. A good many interesting facts
are pretty sure to be brought to the
surface when the, democrats fall to
investigating Post.
The am endment to the interstate
commerce bill proposed by Mr. O'Hara
of North Carolina, which threw the
democratic majority in the house into
such d sweat on Tuesday, apparently
did not propose to compel railroad
companies In the south to carry color
ed passengers in first-class cars, but
that they shall not sell firstclass tickets
to colored people; that is that they
shall not swindle colored passengers.
If they will only carry colored passsen-
gers in second-class cars, then they
shall sell only 2d-class tickets to color
ell persons. Colored passengers must
not be cheated by being made to pay
for service that is afterward denied
them. That was all there was in the
amendment, which was simply in the
line of common honesty; but it broke
the democrats all up. The sacred
right to cheat negro seems to be re
garded by the democratic party will
the same blind devotion with which il
, once worshiped the divine right of 9
white man to whip a niger. y
