We would see strange spectacle,
Of which there are even now some

SO long as the mngwumps merely
swell the face OF things without i'm
parting any force to the body, a rea-

The Democratic party OF New
York has done great service to the
country at large by driving the mug
wump organs back into the disreput
able Republican party. If Mr.. Cleve-

the Democrats of New York. Allan

MI. B. F. Butler has announced
his intention of bestowlng nis pri-
vate library upon the Colby Uni
ycrsity. A great many people would
like to see Buffers books. The Gu

New Orleans has been chronic these
twenty years.-New York World,

If the United States Senate should
be tie two years hence its dizziness
would be relieved by some grand old
Democratic rulings from Father
Hendricks. He is a flowing foun-

wump wax is strong enough to seal.

The grand jury at Green River
Wyoming, could not find that killing
twenty five or more Chinamen was a
crime worthy Of indictment. The
Rock Springs rioters were released
by the jury and given an ovation by
the populace. This is great coun-

Mr.. Beecher is a Democrat $50 far
as Grover Cleveland is concerned"
and to prove 1t he is going to vote
for Davenport. The effort to under
stand and appreciate this unique way
of displaying loyalty is slowly driv-

imbecility. ---Indianapolis Journal,

1t is announced with some show OF
authority that the name OF the man
who is to succeed Mr.. Eaton as the
head of the Civil Service Commis-

William Curtis, and that the latter
has approved it. This indicates
that the gentleman will wear hair
oil and silk socks, at all. events

IL is certain that considerable
part of the foreign mail service is
now on an unsatisfactory basis, and
that the compensation offered is IN
sufficient to sustain it properly, but
it is the business of Congress to

things would have gone, SO far as
the Southern States are concerned,
substantially as they did during the
