ject Of Australian opinion respecting the
proposed cable from Australia to Van
couvcr, Principal Grant said at field, X,
O., on his return to Canada: The mer'
chants OF Milboune are a unit on the
subject. Sir Thomas McIlrath, Premier

Premier Giles, OF Victoria, and thinks
that the sooner 4 steamship line is es-
tablished the better. Sir Henry Parks,

There is less truth in the above than
there is in the average Cabinet story.
General Gof lie not posing as hero,
though his splendid and successful cam
paign for Governor Of this State has ad-
ded to the admiration in which he was
held by the Republicans of the country
and by many who are not Republicans.
He has not asked directly or indirectly
for a place in the Cabinet, though he
has been much spoken OF in that con-
nection and more by Republicans Of
other States than by his party friends
in his own State. He is not in any con-
tention with General Malone on this or
any other question.
Mr.. Elkins is not opposing General
COTS elevation TO the Cabinet or toany
other position OF honor. Air. Elkins
and General Gotf are good friends, and
il General Harrison were TO call General
GoH 10 the Cabinet nobody would be
better pleased than Mr.. Elkins, who
recognizes General GOG's fitness for
such distinction and knows that his
appointment would be enthusiastically
receivedin West Virginia and applauded
throughout the country. II must be

An Old, but 6ood Chestnut.

We will not vouch for the truth of
the following story, but relate it as it
was told to US by = "reliable in
formant." 1t is at any rate spropos
in view of the fact that both Judge
Waters and Mr.. o. B. Batten, the
rival candidates for District Attorney,
pride themselves on their good looks !:
Our informant says that about three
years ago Mr.. Batten, who was just
out Of school, was spending bis va
cation hunting in the Sewtooth Mount
aims. 1t so happened that Judge
Waters was taking a little vacation
in that region at the same time.
Neither had ever met the other be.
fore. Batten was tired and weary
from long and fruitless days hunt,
and had seated himself on a log with
his rife across his lap to take a rest
before returning to camp. While he
was so resting, Waters suddenly came
out of a ravine close by and these
two rivals for beauty for the first time
encountered each other. After staring
at each other in silence for a few
moments, Batten coolly cooked his
rife and took deliberate aim at
Waters. The Judge was some what
surprised at this reception, and threw
up his hands and asked his would be
assassin why he wanted to shoot him?
Batten relented, lowered his gun, and
said:
"Stranger, l have taken a solemn
vow that if ever, in my travels around
this world, l came across an uglier
man than l am l intended to shoot
him, and | have now found that man."
The Judge looked at the deadly
rifle and then at Batten, and, after a
moments reflection, said:
swell, stranger, you can blaze
away. If | am any uglier than you
are have no desire to live any
longer!"
Thereupon mutual apologies and
explanations followed, the ripping
mountain stream murmured its APP
proval, the towering pines bowed
their bencdiction, and they parted,
each happier in the thought that the
other was uglier than he was.
