A CLEVELAND genius has invented a
folding grindstone frame which you
can shut up and carry in your pocket
book. When you want to whet your
jack-knife all you have to do is unfurl
the frame, put in the grindstone, find a
small boy to turn and help you spit.
When you are through you can put
away the grindstone give the boy a
plugged cent. and put the frame back in
your pocket-book. Great ccheme.

THE editions of The Cent,s'y Magazine
are now so large that it has become nec-
essary either to go to press at an earlier

The latter alternative has been accept

which was 225,OOO, was delayed until
the 25th of March. The May number

be issued on the 1st day of the month

first official report of monies to the U. S.

everybody can understand. He shows
that instead of over 100000, 900 surplus
there is actually less than $25,0O0,00O.

IT cost the state $l6,OOO,OOO to con-
struct the Ohio canals. If properly
managed they are worth vastly more
than that sum. TO abandon them, for
mally by legislation, or indirectly by
neglecting to provide for their main
tenance and repair, would involve a
loss of not less than $loO,OOO,OOO to the
state and the towns and cities along
the line of the canals. 1t is time
the people made demand for the pro-
lection and improvement of these
waterways. The cost of doing this will
only be small per cehtage of what the
people will lose by increased railway
freights if the canals are not kept up.
This matter will be an issue at the next
election and the party unfriendly to the
canals will suffer- Cleveland Press.

AT the election in Rhode Island last
Wednesday the total vote polled was
II, ,4Os. There are about $1,000 males in
the State of voting age, but a property
qualification denies the suffrage to ev-
cry foreign born citizen unless he owns
q certain amount of real estate. At the
late election the Republican candidate
for Governor had 1900 plurality. He
bought the nomination at the regular
auction held for that purpose. The
limited suffrage in the State has made
its politics more, corrupt than that of
any State in the Union.

The New York Tribune roars over
the appointment ofa few more ex-Con-
federates to foreign missions and con-
sulates. 1t says: "a better way to
show the magnanimity of the North
toward former rebels could hardly be
devised than by sending them abroad
as representatives of the Government
they tried to Destroy" True, and how
magnanimous this blessed, reunited
country can afford to be! What a
splendid example of magnanimity the
Republican party set before the world
when it sent the rebel General Long
street as Minister to Turkey, the rebel
statesman Orr rs Minister to Russia,
the rebel preacher Hilliard as Minister
to Brazil, and the the rebel bushwhack-
or Mosby to Hong Kong! 1t is a glor-
ious thing to be magnanimous.
