The British campaign against
Thebaw has been short and success
full. The Burmese despot has yield
ed on the approach of the invader,
and his capital is now in the possess
ion of General Prendergast. Lord
Dufferin telegraphs to London that
he has arranged to administer the
Burmese government in Queen Vic
toria's name. Thebaw's swift and
abject submission will doubtless
keep his head ON his shoulders, but
it is not at all probable that he will
ever be permitted to reign again.
Some creature Of the English will be
given his throne, under such restric-
tions that he will be mere puppet.
England has bagged a big prize, and
it is not her habit to relinquish any
thing that she has won. The change
from Thebaw's despotism to British
rule will be of advantage to the
people of the conquered country,
and the interests of civilization will
be advanced.

The Bloody Shirt.

Columbus, O., Oct, l6.-Great excite.
meHt was created in front of democratic
headquarters on Broad street at s
o'clock this afternoon, and riot was
narrowly avoided. Soon after noon
some one sbout the headquarters caus-
ed to be strung across the street in q
large form, bloody shirt with the in
scription: "New north, new south; /;
new deal. The last of the bloody SHIRT"
1t is stated q G.. A. r. man called and
gave the committee half an hour to
have the shirt taken down, and by
order of member of the committee
it was being done when a man from re-
publican headquarters grabbed the gar
ment. and after soaking 1t with kerosene
returned and burned the shirt in
front of the democratic headquarters.
A crowd of several hundred gath.
cred and the greatest excitement
prevailed, and after much loud
talk and threats the crowd dispersed.
The yelling caused the people to leave
their business, while many locked their
doors. The republicans denounce it as
an insult, and both sides are condemned
by the better citizens for participating
in the move which, in the present polit-
ical fever, might have led to great loss
OF life and property.

The newspapers that take an interest
in Yankton county politics are already
making bad mix of the nominations
made here by the republicans on the
state ticket. J. r. Gamble is credited
with nomination for state senator when
the fact is that that luscious plum fell
to j. Rs younger brother, R. J. Gamble,
while j. R. was nominated as one of the
delegates to the state convention at
Huron. j. r. is the gentleman who is
probably more widely known than the
present candidate for legislative honors,
having been prominent politician in
Yankton for years, and has held numer-
Gus offices. r. j. has been before the
people but once before as candidate
for the mayoralty of Yankton IN which
be was defeated by the present incum.
bent, Mayor Harris. As it is not at all
unlikely that these gentlemen may con-
tinue to figure in Dakota politics, it
would be we'll for the newspapers to
remember that there are two of them.

Nasty on Josh Billings,

Toledo, Ohio, Oct. l5-Nasby pays
the following tribute to the late Josh
Billings:
A more sweet and delightful nature
than Josh Billings never lived. He was
singular compound of simplicity and
shrewdness. He was more philosoph-
or than humorlst. His sayings will
outlive those of "Poor Richard" and
they ought to, for his was pleasant
philosophy that had nothing of mean
ness in it. He did not write as a pro-
fession. Writing adopted him. He
originally wrote his sayings because he
had to. The public got taste for them
and compelled him to write them. He
was not q money day maker, and yet be
was in small way. When he found
goodness, he made the public pay. He
was very shrewd in his Investments, SO
that Le left his family competency.
He captlvated op the platform. because
bis manner exactly fitted his matter.
His lectures were nothing but q collec.
ton of savings carfully and artistically
arranged so as to appear without form.
He was always popular because his talk
was like his writings, intended to dls-
courage meanness and to be hopeful to
those who needed help. There is not a
mean or selfish thing in him, and his
work was NEARLY reflex of himself.
He was an originator and compressor.
His great merit was in taking q column
and boiling it down so as to get it into
two lines. His work was converting
ashes into potash. He was generally
delightful man, and was in private life
what he was on the platform and in
print He never did mean thing. and
never had an enemy among good men.

Boston Transcript: "What things
women are" exclaimed Brown. "My
wife and another woman sat q whole
half hour talking about how to narrow
off stocking, and from the interest they
took in the discussion one would think
the salvation of the human race de-
pended on it," Il know it," replied
White. I've heard couple of women
discuss for half day over the best way
to pin tidy on chair back" Then
Brown and White spent the remainder
of the evening in a very intellectual
conversation over the respective merits
of curve and straight pitching as applied
to the national game. Each eventually
got IS mad as March hare, and have
not spoken to each other since. There
can be no doubt that women as conver-
sationalists are far behind men in choice
of subjects.

Fun In The Housed

There was considerable fun in the
Ohio House Of Representatives, on
Wednesday of last week. The DEM
ocratic majority had fixed up nice
little scheme for submitting to the
people of Ohio straight-out license
amendment to the constitution. In
order to do this, they must necessarily
have the votes of several Republicans.
The Democrats met in caucus. and re-
solved to submit such amendment,
and the Republicans met in caucus
and resolved that the Democrats must
do without Republican aid. When
the question came up, the Democratic
members voted solidly in favor of sub
mitting the amendment, the R publ
cans, with three or four exceptions,
voting against it. Among those re-
fnsing to vote was Jones of Jackson.
The Democratic menagerie did not
apparently know what to do with
these men who had rebelled against
the "cussedness" of the most high
Democratic caucus, and several Dem
ocrats were in favor of expelling them.
When the name Of Burnett, of Cuya-
hoga, was called, that gentleman re-
fused to vote. After some squabbling.
he was ordered to appear before the
Speaker. He stepped forward, and
was again asked if he refused to vote.
and replied that he did. That was all
the Speaker wanted to know, and Bur-
nett took his seat.
Jones was ordered to appear before
the Speaker, but fatty refused. This
the House-the Democratic
side, we mean-beyond measure or en-
durance But Jones defed the House,
stating that there was no power in the
State which could compel him to vote.
The Speaker then made request that
Jones step forward. that his refusal
to vote might be officially and for
mally noted The resolution to SUBJ
mit the amendment was lost. This
threw the Democrats into a bowling
rage, and they passed resolution
the members who refused
d vote. Mr.. Burnett arose ard
the Democrats for the COM
,liment they had paid him by their
,ensure. Brunner got rad, and, if |
eports are true, became indecent in |
lis remarks.
Taken altogether, it was day Of
Democratic defeat and discontinue.
