IT is said to be a fact that John R. Nc
Lean, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, has
bought the New York Star, the Tammany
organ. Mr.. Mclean, it seems, desires to
be where he can hammer Cleveland at
short range II things don't go to suit him.
The Star has never been paying pro-
perty. Itlacks the Associated Press news,
it supplies no special want, is not SO good
newspaper or SO bright rs to go to the
front where the competition is so sharp.
The Western style OF journalism has built
up the New York World, long "dead-
horse" and perhaps it may put the blood
of profit into the Star. The sale Of his
newspaper is further coroboration of the
statement that John Kelly is passing out
of politics.

The Princess Beatrice is having rough
time OF it for Royal Highness. After a
life Of royal monotony with her royal and
imperial mamma, she is to marry German
Prince, and both Of them are to be under
mammals eye. Since it isn't love match
perhaps tho young people won't care.
But the English people may be pardoncd
for looking on tho whole business with
unfriendly eye, for it is to add $4,000 a
year TO their burdens. The Queen is a
very rich woman, but she has never been
fond of spending her money. She prefers
to let her subjects spend theirs.

IL Savannah the Western Union Tele-
graph Company has been having time
with its messenger boys. During 1884 the
company employed $50 boys, and they
averaged month each in the company's
service. While they did work they gave
great deal of trouble and little satisfac,
ton. Now colored boys have been en-
ployed. They get the same wages and are
doing their work well. 1t sto be hoped
that they may continue to deserve com
mendation. There seems 10 be something
in the nature of the service which under
mines a white boys moral character
makes him "fresh" and hard to handle,
Perhaps the colored boys are prooiagainst
that something, whatever it may be.
