REFORM is booming at Columbus,
Ohio. The Democratic Legislature last
winter increased the municipal debt of
the State $4,500,000, and this winter it
has piled up debt of $3,079,650 more, a

A WASHINGTON cores pondsnt says
"men sntsr the White House. gleefally
and with an abandonment to merriment,
but they come out looking as if they had
been to dentists office" 1t must be
an awful CHEEKY place. The dignity
that surrounds the White House beats
that Of the Gar of Russia or the Pope of
Rome two to one.
AFTER the lapse of nearly quarter

The "mugwumps" are in high glee
over tho rs-appOintment Of Postmaster

Cleveland, upon this appointment and
succeeded ia getting it.
IT would seem from all reports that
the half civilized and heather kingdoms
of tho world are learning a good deal
about war. France has been humilia-

retreat before the victorious aud despis-
Cd Cinnamon, while England is not less
