WASHINGTON correspondents who feel
that they really must abuse somebody in
order to make existence endurable ought to
be able to find persons who need and de
serve abusing more than Bayliss w. Hanna.
Bayliss is not great man in the broad
sense of the word, and has not professed to
be, nor has he asked for place in which
greatness is required. He has fair abilities
and generous, kindly heart. He has done
a deal of hard work for his party, quite
enough to have earned recognition. So
long Gs we must have Democrats in Office,
we shall be fortunate If they will average as
good us Bayliss W. Hanna.

Two Great Mon Meet.

Mr.. Hendricks, being informed of the
champions presence in the train, expressed
a desire TO meet the Boston warrior. He
was taken into the "Medway" while cross
ing the Allcghenies, and the two were pre-
scented to each other. After introductions
around cigars were produced, and the two
hardest men in the world to knock out
smoked and chatted.
Mr.. Hendricks iocularly remarked:
"Well, John, they say you're a hard hit
ter.n
"Yes; when hit a man try to hit him
hard.n
"Do you ever hit anybody as hard as you
cdngn
"No, sir; don't try that; I am afraid.
But when | fight try TO do my man as
soon as cam
"Well, doesn't it hurt to be hit in the
face?r
"Oh, yes; 1t hurts, but don't let them
hit me often. And man must get used To
the hurting. .'-HdrisJWg Patriot

Lord Itnndnlnh Churchill.

The coming man in the English conserva-
tive party is Lord Randolph Churchill. He
has already shown himself the ablest orator
of the opposition. His recent speech on
the "Cabinet Of the Thirty-seven Policies"
will, It is admitted by liberal papers, "fur
nish wisdom enough for the ruck Of the
conservative candidates all over the coun-
try" Some passages Of that brilliant effort
have been characterized as reading "like an
echo of the most effective passages in the
Midlothian orations.n "If we could but
procure keeper for Lord Randolph
Churchill" says the Pal Nal, she would
not only lead the opposition in the house
of commons, but he would be a formidable
rival to Lord Salisbury as chief Of the whole
conservative party in the three kingdoms"

sources of the United States" by Albert
Williams, ir., chief of the division of mining
statistics and technology, United States

be issued shortly. 1t contains a great deal
of information of much interest and value
to the student of economic statistics. The

conduct Of Josiah w, Begolc, late tidal

ernor he wantonly, grossly, aud inexcusa-

powers, and was guilty Of a misappropria-
tion Of the peoples money, the violation Of
sacred trust, and the contamination of
the highest Office Of the state by this ne

The Postmaster-General has proited by
Commissioner Blacks failure to get Miss
Sweet to resign by asking her to do so.
Wanting the place Of Miss Christie, post
mistress at Nyack, for Democrat, Col.
Villas did not ask the incumbent to get out
but put her out summarily, on the ground
that when she was an assistant in the Office
she knew of a fraud which she said nothing
about. This accusation is even worse than
IT appears on the surface, for IL is blow at
the reputation Of Miss Christie's dead
father, as well as at her own. Miss Christie
has promptly denied this charge, and we
presume the matter will be Investigated
further. Col. Villas would do well to sticl;

The rapid spread of cholera in Spain thus
early in June indicates that the utmost
vigilance on the part Of the quarantine
authorities here will be required to keep
the plague from getting foothold in this
country. The New York officials are keep
ing careful watch, but II does not seem GER
tain that equal watchfulness exists at other
American ports. When the cholera came
here before, 1t travelled up the Mississippi
valley, and II might easily arrive by that
route againi II the New Orleans officers were

In is the impression Of a Springfield Re

munds, whose term will expire on the 3Oth

another term. This writer expresses the be-

Vermont Republicans in general because he
would not actively support the Republican
ticket in the presidential campaign.

THE coal mine explosion near Manches-
