NOTES AND Nnr1nNs

The Plttsburg Exchange is orenod |
every morning with prayer. This idea
is worthy of Kansas or Ohio.
The Michigan Greenbackers blew a
few hundred more meters of wind into
Ben Buffers presidential boom last
week.
The Galveston News arises to observe
that Judge Lynch is poor jurist, but
that he is better than none, and we kind
Of believe the News is more than half
right.
We presume that the press Of Mis-
souri, will now point with pride to the
majesty of her Judiciary and to her hec-
tic but. dauntless martyr, Col. Frank
James.
The editor of the Atchison Globe says
if he were thief he would get in his
big work on show days, 50 that the cir
Gus men would get the credit for it.
There seems to be lots of human nature
about Ed. Howe.
The next time they want to dispose of
a murderer in Ohio without the inter-
vention of the judiciary, they will find
it to their advantage to secure the aid of
Kansas talent. In the effulgent vocabu-
larry OF the sunfiower state there is no
such word as fail
General Passenger Agent White has

st. Louis Globe Democrat: While a
certain class of statesmen are manifest
ing so much uneasiness about the condi-
ton of our navy, the fact should not be
overlooked that an order for IA 900 yards
OF gold lace has just been made for the
army. 1t is true that the army isn't much
larger in its way than the navy; but eight
miles of gold lace judIciously distributed
over itcan hardly fail to convince foreign
nations that we are not to be insulted
with impunitY.
Globe Democrat: The statement of
Gen Adam B4desu regarding the con-
sIderations which induced him to resign
the consul gencralship at Havana is not
as lucid as It might be; but we gather
from 1t in a general way that he aimed
| to establish a sort of personal protec-
torate over the unhappy island of Cubs,
and being admonished by the state de
partment that he was cutting off more
than be could conveniently chew, arose
In his dignity and peremptcrily ceased
to be any longer part of a diplomatic
service in which merit was so poorly
| appreciated. HIS sudden retirement is
embarrassing, of course. but still there is
reason to trust that our foreign relations
will not be seriously disturbed.

Thirteen of the largest patent medicine
manufacturers of the United States have
formed a protective association to pre-
vent the cutting Of rates, and circulars
have been sent to all the wholesale and
retail dealers, notifying them not TO sell
at less than established prices, under
penalty of having their supply cut of.
Thirteen firms in the east have already
been boycotted because of violation of
the rules of the new organization. The
combination controls $1,000 drug stores
and between 200 aud 500 wholesale
establishments. The life insurance
companies have not yet lowered their
rates.
