INVITED TO CALL AGAIN.
A set of well preserved upper teeth
was found under pear tree in Mr.. l..
Hagar's garden Thursday morning.
If the person who borrowed the fruit
will apply on the premises, he or she
will be furnished with the appliances

HE MIXED HIS NOTICES.
Two Paris beggars were seen re-
Gently wearing two inscriptions

vengeance J" The men had inadver-
tently exchanged placards. This incl
dent suggests that John Sherman, in
picking out placards for his recent
speech from his large assortment,
Numbered by substituting the old ''re-
belliOn" mottOs he used few years
ago for the fresh ones he intended to
employ.-[B Boston Evening Record.
JOLLY PRODIGAL.
"The Republican father" says the
Boston Herald, sis very willing to re-
ceive home the mugwump prOdigal
SON." But the latter is having so good
time of it that he does not heed the
invitation to come back. Unlike the
biblical prOdigal, he has played in
great luck ever since he deserted the
party roof. The reform which "the
old man" assured him was husks has
proved to be most excellent fodder.
He munches it with delight, and waxeth
fat on it, and is altogether so much
better fixed than the old man himself
that he has no disposition to go back
to the republican roof tree Chicago

NEW BLAINE ORGAN.
The public career of Mr.. Blaine is not
yet completed. Let not those pigmy
critics of the opposition press, while
attempting to defile the character of a
man whose consummate ability and
unequalled usefulness to the public
service makes him the foremost figure
in our American politics, imagine for
one moment that they have settled the
political life of James G. Blaine. That
call to re-enter the public arena, start
ing upon the prairies of the great West
and rolling eastward with irresistible
force, may yet again be heard in the
land and the fittest man in the cOun-
try to-day to sit in the executive chair
at Washington, may yet be found at
the head of the natiOn.-[The State,

UNREASONABLE LOYALTY.
Senator HOar takes no stock in the
mugwump abuse of John Sherman's
recent speech In his address in BOs-
ton on Saturday the Massachusetts
senator said ''If John Sherman is an
antediluvian | am preadamite. The
republican party's principles are not
70 ,, loi Il 10 hnooncn lax ~ -
This is the kind of language we like to
hear. Loyalty of late has seemed to
be in danger of becoming unfashiOn-
able Philadelphia Press.
DEFINING ITS POSITION.
The State has been widely heralded
us Il republican organ. SO far as main
tanning the principles of the republi-
can party may be regarded as organic
journalism the State is an organ.
There will be no possibility for doubt
upon this head. OF course in the va
rious special articles that will appear,
as they will be furnished for publica-
ton, there will be observed much con-
trariety of opinion. Even republicans
differ upon the minor or nOn-essential
issues. The editorial management of
the State, while excluding the senti-
ment of no one of its numerous contrib
utors, does not bind itself to wholly
agree in the conclusions which may be
reached Boston State.
So "the management" does not
"bind itself to wholly agree in the
conclusions which may be reached"
This elegant English BODIES an unhap-
ply time of it for ''the management of
our new contemporary. "Agree" with
what ItselfP 1t seems to disagree
already for it tries to save Blaine from
the destructive remark of Gov. Long
10y saying that whatever the republi-
can party stands for, that Mr.. Blaine
also stands for" In other words, n
