SECRETARY MANNING has rendered his
resignation on account OF ill-health-

quest it will lie ever until next October.
The President went fishing while at
Deer Park, and it is said he caught lots
Of trout. 1t is also said he carried a
bottle containing pint of Jefferson
ian simplicity"
Iris reported that Mr.. Blaine is to
speak on the fisheries question. Mr..
Blaine would do better ty remaining
quiet. for every time he opens his mouth
he puts his foot In it.
Our esteemed contemporary, the
Charlestown Free Press, is authority
for the statement that John Browns
first victim at Harper's Ferry was an
inoffensive colored man.
The President gave the minister who
married him brand new hundred-dol-
lar bill, and the minister intends to
frame it. We'd like TO see ourselves
framing a hundred-dollar bill
EVERYONE knows that Senator ingalls,
is of waspish nature. but his insolent
and brutal attack on Senator Cockrell
the other day cannot be excused on any
ground. Ingalls, needs taking down
peg or two.
The young woman who elopes with
the coachman is making good stsrat
for the summer. We imagine, however,
that she will ind quite difference be-
tween a meek coachman and an igno.
rant and brutal husband.
The people of New York having shown
themselves to be too stingy TO contribute
funds for the erection of pedestal for
the Bartholdi statue, Congress is asked
to mike an appropriation. We hope
Congress will do no such thing.

houses in New York that tumbled down
before they were finished and killed
people, will have chance to study
architecture of quite solid character.

AFTER enjoying honeymoon Of six
days amid the quiet beauties of Deer
Park, President Cleveland and his bride
returned to Washington Tuesday even
ing. Ex-senator Henry G. Davi. en-
tertained them at Deer Park, although
they occupied cottage by themselves.
IT is said that ex-senator Frank Her.
eford would like to drop the sex" from
i'm front of his name, and that Hon.
Henry G. Davis is laying his lines with
the same end in view. Then, it is also
said, Governor Wilson, Mr.. Lucas, and
half score of others, wouldn't object

The Board of Regents of this State do
not take the trouble to visit the normal
schools, but that does not deter them
from legislating OH them. They know
fully as much Of the needs of the schools
as an alligator does of mathematics. If
the Regents cannot visit the schools as
their duty requires they should send in
their designations.
No candidates for the Legislature
have yet been named-in print-from
Charlestown. Can il be possible that
our sister town will be satisfied with
United States Senator, Congressman
and State Senator? Can it be possible
that she proposes to allow Shepherds
town or some other part Of the county a
whole member of the Legislature?
This is u rather bad season for an.
srchists. Johann Most, for simply
shooting of his mouth, as the boys say,
has been sentenced to years imprison-
ment in the penitentiary and fined $500.
His associate, Braunschweig, got nine
months in the penitentiary and was
fined $3.50. Schenck was sent to the
pcnitentiary for nine months but not
fined. Indictments have been found
against all of the Chicago anarchists
who can be found, and heavy sentences
are probably in store for them.
SENATOR KENNA has agreed to serve
as chairman Of the Democratic Con-
gressional Committee, although he de-
sires to be relieved Of duty il any one
else can be found to take the position.
There are great possibilities in this
craftsmanship for our junior Senator.
