the Chicago Herald, what wonderful
railroad center this great city of Chi
cago is getting to be? A week ago a
new railway system began running its
trains in and out of the city over its
own track, and yet not one person out
of dozen is aware of the fact. The
addition of another railway of 700
miles extent attracted little attention,
though the new road is about as large
in mileage as the most extensive system
in England. How many people are in
Chicago who can tell without counting
the number of railways now entering
the city? And how many can make an
accurate count without recourse to
guide books or timetables? No less
than twenty distinct railways now run
trains into Chicago. The mileage of
these roads makes an astonishing total.
Let us look at it.:

candidate for public appreciation in
this line is Mrs. Adeline Robinson, of
Knox, Maine, who is seventy years old,

performances, recently went into we'll

She was assisted by her daughter. The

IT is estimated that the wheat crop
of California will be worth $54, 900, 900
this year, as against $2s,000:O00 last
year; and that the barley crop will
fetch SIG, 100000, gain of 100000
over last year. The area sown is said
to be but fraction larger than in 1885.
Recent estimates place the wine crop
at $18,0O0,000, instead Of the $25, OOO,-
600 estimated earlier in the season.
Last years crop was 100000.

A GYPSY WEDDISG.-The following is

trading, r0madic Bohemian eypsies who
want to be married. The man was tall and
slender, rather good looking, and as it was
his wedding day he had a briaht -colored
handkerchief around his neck. He elooked
very much embarrassed and felt more so.
The bride was q stoui-built, large WASTED.
dark gypsy maiden, who had not been
stolen from home of luxury, but was a
full-blooded, sharp-eyed, fortune-telling
lass. The rich blood-blue of the bluest&
coursed through her veins and the crimson
blush mounted her dusky cheeks as her
heart beat pit-e-pat under a very bright
cardinal silk basque. Her dress was c,it
demi-train, decolete with long sleeves.
Around her neck crossing over the breast
was yellowish silk handkerchief At the
cross was huge old-goid breastpin. Her
brown hands were covered with lace mits
and heavy gold ring. Her fairy feet were
encased in brogans a la O'Leary. The
marriage ceremony was as short and sweet
as glass of pousse cafe and as little under
stood. There was no kissing-even the
Judge and reporter were compelled to
forego the pleasure, as the young husband
seemed to guard his prize with Jealous care.
They had considerable trouble making
their arraneeMeBis, and were DELAYED in
getting their license, but finally secured It
this morning. They had a big marriage
feast over in the camp afterwari. The
young people having wagon and team of
their own, have started new band Of
gypsies.

Liquor Licenses,

The figures given represent the average
rate charged in the counties named. For
instance, in a few counties they have a
classification of rates, say $50 per quarter
for one class and 500 for the other. In
such cases the average, $75, is given. 1t
must be borne in mind that in such coun-
ties as Alpine and Trinity, where the rates
are apparently very low, such counties are
sparsely populated, and consequently the
retail liquor business must nee ssarily be
limited In iact, sales in those counties are
supposed BY the license ordinances to be at
the maximum when they reach $50 per
month"

An exchange says: "Internal Revenue
Commissioner Miller says it is unjust to
force the distillers of Bourbon whisky to
pay taxes at the expiration OF the three
years term, or export their product to
avoid the payment Of the tax. This sounds
strangely from an officer Of the govern
ment. 1t looks as if Commissioner Miller
had a hearty sympathy with these Bour-
bon whisky dlstillers who dodge the pay
ment OF millions in taxes to the govern
ment. Why. indeed, should not they be
made to settle On t~axpaying day. There
is an old saying that chickens come home
to roost. We remember that some four or
five years ago there were something over
10000, 900 gallons OF whisky in bond and
when the time came for the payment Of the
tax upon it the owners were unable to
meet it. A bill was introduced ir Congress
extending the time OF payment, but while
it was under consideration millions OF gal
Ions of the article were shipped to the Ber-
muda Islands and brought back by which
act the payment OF the tax was extended.
This was done under a Republican admin
istration. But not a Republican newspa-
per said a word against the procedure.
Now that the same thing is being done a
howl is raised. That same old chicken has
come home to roost that was Matched un-
der a former administration.

A FRANK CONFESSION.

The Helena Herald takes the defeat Of
its party sensibly and philosophically. In
announcing the result it says:
I'VE lave met the enemy, and where are
weo Apparently in many respects We are
beaten worse than ever. 1t would have
been a hard matter to have carried the
Territory il the Republicans had been
united, but this has not been the case any
where. This has been evident enough from
the first in this county, but we hadthought
perhaps the trouble was local and not GEN
eral, n that possibly the rest OF the Ter
ritory might show a different result. It is
evident now that the division ana disaffec C.
ton was general"
This is a frank acknowledgement upon
the part Of OH. Helena contemporary OF
the correctness OF the assertion made by
the Democratic press preceding the election,
that the nomination of Col. Sanders was a
mistake, and was distasteful to the rank
and file OF the party. The Republican or
gans, however, denied itwith the same dis
regard OF facts that they made other de-
malls, and fought the campaign on the de-
claration that the people were with a
united Republican party. The result has
demonstrated not only hat they were IN
acquainted with the temper OF the people,
but that however closely united the Repub-
may work, they are in a hopeless
minority in this Territory.
