A Coup d,Efat.

Sometime since Representative Shaw,
a Democratic member of the Illinois
legislature, was gathered to his fathers
in the course of nature, and a new cleo
ton ordered in his district to fill vacan-
cy. Owing to the fact that Sittig, a
Republican member, 'spaired'' himself
with the deceased and refused to vote
on United States senator, the previous
deadlock was maintained, and since
then the legislature, while awaiting
Shaw successor has bcen"lying around
loose, = instead of lying all in body as
is the usual way. The Democrats of the
late Mr.. Shaw's district evidently
thought that no contest would be made
by the Republicans, and on the day of
election they were handsomely caught
mapping. At the last available moment
w. A. Weaver was placed in the field by
the Republicans and every effort put
forth in his behalf. with the result that
he was elected by clear majority. This
gives the Republicans majority of two
on joint ballot, and undoubtedly assures
the election of John A. Logan to the
vacant senatorship. The Transformation
of the Democrats over the march stolen
upon them, can be easily Imagined. as
the district is usually strongly Demo-
. n
return of Democrat was regarded as
fully assured. Col. Morrison, who
learned of the result IN Washington,
hurriedly packed his grip and started
for Springfield; but what he expects to
achieve there is beyond conjecture. He
had far better have remained in Wash
ington and cultivated the acquaintance
of President Cleveland.

President Cleveland has appointed E.
W. Thompson, of New York, minister
to Hayt. Thompson is colored man,
but a graduate of Yale college and
highly cultivated. This will doubtless
tend to quiet the nerves of those ignor-
ant Southern darkies who supposed they
were to be placed back in slavery again
forgetting although the government
at Washington is Democratic, the Re-
publican party of the North still lives
and John Browns soul still continues to
perigrinations.
S. Corning Judd has been appointed
postmaster of Chicago, in place of
Frank w. Palmer, who was removed
for offensive partisanship." AS the
good Mr. Cleveland begins to get his
hand in, he is both shocked and panied
at the discovery of so many eases of
offensive partisanship during the late
campaign-many of the post-masters
actually saying right out loud, so people
could hear them, that they preferred
Blaine to Mr.. Cleveland.

The wholesale liquor dealers of Mil
waukee have combined to resist the
payment of the 5000 license fixed by the
new law, and will carry the matter to
the supreme court. One OF them named
Barth, in an interview with reporter,
said they did not care anything in
particular about the money, but there
was a principle involved If there is
one thing more than another that the
white-souled whisky seller sticks for it
is principle. His business of making
his neighbors paupers, lunatics and
criminals has such refining and eleva-
ting influence upon his nature that he
would suffer martyrdom sooner than do
wrong action, or an unprincipted one.
1t is given out that the Agricultural
department at Washington, which has
always been mark for scorn to point
her slow, unmoving finger at, has dis
covered an easy, simple and sure test
to tell butter from oleomargarine. The
new commissioner is named Colman
and he will formulate number of acts,
which he hopes congress will pass, in
the interest of the dairy business. 1t is
quite refreshing, after LeDuc and his
nonsense about tea, and Loring and his
sorghum Stiffness. to find man at the
head of the Agricultural department
who seems to have practical views and
good ordinary common sense.

Earl Derby. the English colonial sec
rotary, advocates the annexation or ac-
QUESTION of the Samoa islands. These
islands have been formally taken pos
session of by jack-knife peddler,
named Perkins, in the name of the
United States, and the assumption of
Earl Derby is one of considerable gall.
Perkins landed on the islands some
years ago from Connections, unfurled
the American flag, and went about
teaching the natives the Declaration of
independence and selling them pocket
knives. With his own hand he, on one
occasion, quelled serious rebellion,
drawing his revolver and threatening
death to whoever harmed the American
and British consuls, who were hiding
under boat on the beach. And yet
Derby would claim these possessions
and feed them to the nav of the insati-
ate British lion!

The New York World alleges that.
upon President Cleveland's return from
Gettysburg. the other day, an attempt
was made to assassinate him, and that
the facts arc being conceded. 1t is
known that shots were fired near to the
carriage IN which he sat, but it was
given out at the time that they were
fired as salute by an enthusiastic adj
mirer.
