Or course Randall is a democrat
but it is a noticeable fact that %hel
ever his cernsare treaded upon the re
publicans are the quickest to resen
it.
! SENATOR MANDERsoN is in favor O
a considerable increase in the United
States army. Just what this country
needs with large standing army no
body is able to explaiu-not ever
the senator himself.
SENATOR Bill CHANDLER, of New
Hampshire. has the smallest head in
the United States senate. He wears
a No. 6 hat, which accounts for the
size OF his craftsmanship,
THE advocates of the infamous Blair
educational bill perhaps have not
taken into consideration the fact that
even if It does become law, which
now looks a little probable, the states
cannot be forced to accept the aid
offered.
The Chicago Tribune, good old
time-serying, Blaine-loying, south
hating, bloody-shirt republican pa
per, takes the ground and proves by
the facts that the worst paid labor in
the United States is that employed
in the high protected industries.
The New York Tribune is much
chagrined and disguised because the
workingmen Of the country are be-
ginning to have the film removed
from their eyes which the protec-
ton monopolists for so long have
been obstructing their vision with.

played Judas Iscariot to his party
since his term as governor in 1876,
md did not deserve the nomination.
The Trades federation of Illinois

md socialist element from Chicago.
The convention passed resolutions
demanding radical change in ex-
sting laws, and demanded that the

The reports from the northwest
I'm territory, containing the most
and distressing accounts of
he loss of human life ever reported
rom that blizzard country, announce,
TRANCE to say, that there has not been
ny loss of stock. This is hardly to
70 credited; when the snow shall
AVE melted away, travel resumed,
nd the ranges are heard from, the
wires will undoubtedly tell far diff
erent tale.
