Is it possible that Collector McGraw
is mugwump?..
"OrrRNsIvE partisans" are ripe for
the harvest, and the sickles are sharp
ening.
In the city of Wheeling there are 22s
LIQUOR saloons. The people Of Wheel
ing use water to put out fires with al
most exclusively.
Mr.. WHITNEY, the Secretary OF the
Navy, is called the dude of the Cabinet,
but the way he is making John Roach
toe the mark Is a caution.
Our State exchanges are beginning
to TEEN with snake stories. They have
not attained the excellence that we may
look for a little later in the season, how
ever.
ANOTHER West Virginian is in luck.
Richard r. Mcmahon, seconc-class
clerk in the First Comptroller's office at
Washington, has been appointed Dep
uty Second Comptroller of the Treasury.
The President is said to b, getting
very tired of office seekers. Well, if he
will just fill the offices little faster
he will be relieved of some of the pres
sure. Democrats are getting awfully
hungry.
ONE by one the roses fall. Editor
Richards, OF Clarksburg, has been re-
moved from his position Ms postmaster
at that place on the ground of being an
offensive partisan" Mr.. Lloyd Iced
gets his place.
The Ohio Republicans have nomina-
ted Judge Foraker as candidate for gov
erno- and General Robert Kennedy for
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The ticket is the
same one that was defeated by the DEM
ocrats two years ago.
OF all the follies of the present day,
the practice of sending flowers to muir
derers and other criminals is one of the
silliest. Cluverius, the murderer of
Lillian Madison, at Richmond, almost
daily receives flowers from some idiotic
enthusiastically females.
In Baltimore, on Monday, Henry n.
Movers was sentenced to one year in Jail
and twenty lashes for brutally beating
his wife. He is the first white man in
MARYLAND sentenced to receive whip
ming. but as his crime was most brutal
II is to be hoped the lashes will be well
laid on.
CHILDREN were born TO mother ant
daughter at the same time and in the
sams house i'm Illinois the other day.
The babies were dressed and put in
cradle together. When they were taken
ND soon after neither mother knew her
own child, and to-day they are still
wondering which is which.
THAT eminent civil service reformer,
Public Printer Rounds, is still holding
his place. If President Cleveland allows
this fellow to get hold of the coming
years appropriation it will be an out
rage upon the government. No wonder
Democrats grit their teeth to see such
men as Rounds kept in high places.
BROTHER BEDINGER, of the Charles
town Democrat, has really and truly
sued Brother Morris, of the Richie Ga
zette, for sc, 900 damages. We are sorry
to hear this, for if Bro. Bedinger wins,
Bro. Morris will lose at least years
income, and the effect will be discour-
aging to the trade. The matter should
be compromised by all means.
GENERAL GRANT was removed from
his home in New York city on Tuesday
to Mount McGregor, N. Y, a healthy
resort in the Adirondack mountains.
The journey was very wearisome one,
and the General was completely worn
out when he reached the end. 1t is ev-
ident that he cannot live much longer
He wa. so weak on Tuesday that he
could not speak.
