"From DR.. Baker we learn that by

POINTERS.

Secretary Manning's report not
only shows that the books balance,
but that the leaks have been stopped.
The presidency of the senate is
thought to be a bad place for a pres
ldential candidate, but nothing can
hurt John Sherman's chances.
The intimation that Benny Butler
proposes to join the mugwump party
is absurd. 1t enormously assumes
that the statesman from Lowell wants
to sleep in a hole in the ground.
Since the recent campaign in Vir-
ginia Senator Riddleberger has
stopped getting drunk and it is feared
that he may reform altogether and
attempt to burglariously enter the
Democratic party.-Paterson Guar
dian.
The most complete and satisfactory
shape that civil service reform can
possibly take is to supersede the Re-
publican officeholders with honest,
competent and trustworthy Demo
crats.-Atlanta Constitution.
The mugwump, it is said, does not
know that he is dead. Since every
one else knows 1t, there is no harm
in permitting the corpse to entertain
small decisions.
There is said to be a town in
Maine that has no church, temper.
ance society, drunkard, pauper, OIL
saloon. 1t is not SO stated, but we
infer from this that the town is al
present used as a cemetery.
Although the motto of Colorado Ii
Nothing Without Divine Aid" it il
very seldom that a lynching-bee il
opened with a prayer. Very few
states live up to their mottos in thi'
wicked age.
There is a bogus Sam Jones a

Sweeping Pretty Clean.

An exchange in speaking of the
new Democratic administration men
tions a few of its clean sweepings as
follows:
1t has compelled the release of
several American citizens unjustly
imprisoned abroad.
1t has ordered the cattlemen off
the land grabbed by them.
1t has unearthed and stopped the
frauds against the tariff laws in the
eastern custom houses.
1t has cut out the rottenness from
the coast survey.
1t has stopped the Texas Pacific
and California and Oregon land
grant steals.
1t has put an end to the Robesor
Chandler Roach method of running
the navy.
It has sent to their posts, army anC
navy officers, who favoritism haC
kept around Washington and th'
watering places.
1t has stopped the waste and worth
lessness of the Alabama claims com
mission.
1t has ordered no more iunketins
bills be paid out of the public funds
1t has closed leakages in tn
agricultural bureau.
1t has shown that extensive fund
were perpetrated at many Indial
agencies.
1t has reduced the number of EN-
ployes in various branches Of publ
service, and has cut down salaries.
1t has stopped the ocean mail sub
sidy steal.
1t is sweeping pretty clean.

SA Fact"

The following we find On our
time copy hook, clipped from the
Mexico LEDGER of recent date:
We accidentally came into possession
of the following this week. 1t was just
warm from the pen of one of Mexico's
most beautiful and enthusiastic young
ladies:
If ever l love any one at all it must be
some one whom I feel to be my master.
l could not love a man who was week in
body, soul, heart or mind; Unjust feel that
he is my master; that my soul yields to
his; that | can look up to him as the real
guiding star of my life-as the guide of
actions. If even | meet such a man
and VOW to love him, what will my owe
not do for me? l do not think l could
fall in love with a book hero either; they
are too coldly perfect. | should like a
hero with some human faults, with a
touch of pride capable of being reused
into passion.
Any gentleman who thinks he fills the
bill should call at the LEDGER office. We
will introduce him.
If we are allowed to add anything
it would be that the young lady will
see the time when all such stuff will
be forgotten in the mad endeavor to
get something to wea or decent to
go down town in, 20 say nothing
about shoes and stockings for the
little ones or a new hat for herself.
She may possess her ''soul' in patti.
ence if the soles of her shoes are
always in order and the cuisine pro,
perly taken care of in the shape of a
well-flIed larder. The struggle TO,
subsistence may then be of more i'm.
portance than worshiping heroes
either of romance or reality. A pro.
pos, we are told that Bob White him.
self long ago came down to the plane
of the rest of us mortals, and when
little woman across the way crooks
her finger and calls out Bobby" hi

The Fayette Aduertjsef says: Buy
ers in this vicinity are now ffering

There is no reason on earth for such
low prices. There has been no de-
cline in the prices of manufactured
tobacco for several years. 1t is now
selling at the same figures it did
whea the leaf was worth SIS and $40

A Fact.

If Mexico had a coal mine near the
