THE successor Of Mrs. CLEVELAND as
the first lady of the land will write Ill
the albums JANE SCOTT HARRISON.
If ANY credit is due the aborigineS
for Indian summer, very large drafts
might be honored in this latitude this
season.
THE noble old Roman yesterday
passed the third quarter-mile post III his
century. May he round out the fourth
quarter.
THE Atlanta Constitution wants new
Spectacles procured for the star-eyed
goddess of reform. Leather goggles
would do.
THE stock OF the trusts has generally
advanced since the election, and new
ones are being formed. The monopo-
lists look for better times for them.
ONO is said by one of its leading
Republican journals to insist upon
JOHN SHERMAN in the department of
state. The Ohio idea must wait for the
Maine decision.
ITMAY relieve doubt and give the
new administration standing in some
quarters to state that it will keep the
hustle at its back, speaking of the do
nestle features. Reform will not eX-
tend in that direction.
The Pioneer Press and Minneapolis
Tribune are in heated quarrel over
their circulation and news service. In
the meantime persons who want the
aews fresh and bright are buying the
GLOBE right along.
GEN. ALGEK is credited with the
statement that he will not be member
of the next cabinet. There are good
many people who seem to fear that it
will not be understood that they avert
ed that sort of lightning.
THE W. C. r. U. and dry organiza-
lions are beginning to apprehend that
the wine cellars of the White house will
be more than Democratic "Reminiscences
under the Indiana regime. More than
the odor will probably be retained.
TEXAS is the second growing
state of the Union, and sends to con-
gress delegation solid for free wool.
while Philadelphia, with its great wool
industries, will give all its votes against
free wool. There is a mistake some
where.
THE Confederaey coined but four sill
yer half dollars. It's said, and the holder
of one of them lately refused $3.50 for
it. Yankee enterprise should find an
opening here in the production Of fac
SMILES. as in case of the early attempts
at newspapers.
In HIS letter of acceptance Gen. HAIR.
RIsoN said "only the interests Of the
public should suggest removals from
Office" Are the outs who want to get
in the public referred to, is conun-
drum that good many people would
like to have elucidated in an authorita-
tive way.
A LONDON trade journal argues in
geniously and deliberately that dealers
prefer the credit to the cash system,
chiefly for the reason that it makes the
customers more dependent upon them
and less liable to look around for better
figures. The bad debts. however, are
not due to cash customers.
SOME of the political dreamers in
Kansas reported that state as Of the
pivotal order, and hkely to tip down on
the Democratic side. In view Of $4,000
HARRISON margin, and several counties
of Indians and grasShoppers to hear
from, it will take time for political
prophets there to get hearing again.
THE conclusion is reached in prom
inent and sarcastic quarter that Demo
cratic papers will not construct the
HARRISON cabinet. 1t is not probable
that any of them desire to eXpend their
energies so unprofitably, nor is it GER
tain that Republican papers will have
large drafts made upon them for advice.
THE New York organ of the Prohibi-
tionists has reduced its claims in the
popular vote TO 26S.GGO. That is good
ways short of the million expected. 1t
may be presumed that about all the Re-
publieans turned back to Bro. HAIR
RIsoN, while the Democrats voted the
ticket. 1t was not good year for pro-
hibitiOn.
THE vote of twenty of the chief man
ufacturing cities and towns in Connecti-
cut shows reduction of the Repub-
lican plurality of ST. for BLAINE to 5
for HARRISON. or gain of ST. for tariff
reduction. In the agricultural districts
there was loss. The same is true gem
orally in the country, contradicting
ante-election theories.
IT is whispered from tall tower in
New York city. looking toward Indian
apolis, tnat ."EITELAw REID would not
object to av;sit 10 the court of ST. James
unaer the HARRISON diSpensation. 1t
may not be remembered that the name
is connected with journal established
by HORACE GREELEY.
THE first ten months of this year the
exports of breadStuffs were some S+6,
100000 less than for the same months of
the preceding year. reduction OF about
