The New York Tribune mas at last dis
covered that the name Of sumner county,
Miss, was changed to Webster several
years ago. Editor Reid appears to be dis
uosed to kick himself because he did not
catch on to this fact before the election.
Mr.. Edmund Yates says the alleged in
terview with himself recently published

Two Louisville men spent $40 court
costs. besides lawyers fees, in "a suit for
the possession Of a goose worth hity
cents. II was not the value of the pro-

knowing that he was "all right on the
goose question"
The Texas Legislature threatens to lay
a tax OF 5000 on retail dealers in pistols
and bowie knives, and $500 on wholesale
dealers i'm such weapons. II such tax
should be imposed the express business
from ST. Louis. New Orleans AID other
cities to Texas viii no doubt be largely

10 want pistol from getting it.
The Galveston Nel7s thinks nothing
will satisfy the Pennsylvania politicians
but the submission of the Republican
marty TO the leadership Of Cameron IN
ISSS and the Democratic party 10 the
leadership OF Kendall. The Pennsylvania
politicians have flushed the game so far
as Randall is concerned. That $1,000
Republican majority put an end to his
homes of Democratic leadership.
The PENNSYLVANIA Republicans appear
IN he truly loyal according to the most
apprOyed ideas Of the blOody-sbirt wing
of their marty. The Senate Of that state
refused to confirm a man VINO was ncmi-
mated for Notary Public Tuesday because

ever. does not prevent the Pennsylvania
Federal officials from claiming to be earn
est advocates of civil service reform.

about agents Of European governments
irving to bring about a civil war in Mica
ragua for the purpose OF defeating the

termined to dig the proposed canal. there

The American man-Of-war Pinta, how
ever. will soon make the round Of the ma
tive villages. and it is to be feared that

II appears that the messengers ap-
nointed by Senator Edmunds 10 20 after
the duplicate returns of the electoral
votes OF Oregon and Iowa got OF before
the documents were received by mail,
and so earned their pay. The Senator mas
nov two packages of Blaine votes which
he Cannot use. as he will not have an op-
Dortunity to stun the ballOt-bOX when the
electoral count begins, even if be should
wish TO do so.
IT will be a full week, 1t is stated. before
the flagship Lancaster can be gotten ready
10 sail from Nice for the Congo. In the
meantime Secretary Chandler has the
