So MANY little cabinet booms of late
have been called in for repairs that
there is a growing disposition to let
HARRISON try his hand.
Mrs. CLEVELAND is reported to have
recently danced her first waltz as mis-
tress of the White house. She evident
ly will go out gracefully and smiling.
AS she has the same theology as HAIR
RIsoN. she may be showing him its terp-
sichOrean la titude.
THE house in Washington where Mr..
BLAINE has been living, or that he at
tempted to rent, is said to be the one
that DANIEL WEBSTER occupied when
he was head of the other HARRIsON'S
cabinet. Mr.. BLAINE'S great faculty is
to remember things.
THAT Oklahoma bill is not likely to
get through the senate this session. If
the chief object is to furnish land for
settlers, there need be no special haste,
as there are several liberal patches
further north that are as good as those
looking for homes only can want.
THE Republican organs are briStlrng
up fiercely since the red spot has faded
out of the Samoa business. They want
ed the matter left over to show how
BLAINE would make the earth quake
on the other side when he sent his
phonograph over to the Teutonic court.
THE revenues of the government the
fast month were 81, 100000 in excess of
the same time last year, and that sur
plus persists in growing. But the Re-
publicans will soon have full control
and there need be little apprehension
that they will allow any surplus to stay
II the treasury.
THE French. government is giving
Special attention to the strength of its
navy. Fifteen new war vessels have
been ordered that will be monsters,
with capacity of 44,073 tons. 1t will
be very convenient to be on good terms
with France in case this country ever
has tussle with any European power.
IF THE Chicago Tribune is good au-
thority, FRANCIS MURPHY, the famous
practical temperance worker, refuses to
speak in Pennsylvania i'll favor of the
proposed constitutional amendment, not
believing in prohibition as feasible. He
should be sent few barrels of Kansas
and Iowa literature, including affidavits
and messages of governors.
THE superintendent Of the public
schools of Philadelphia advises the
teachers to impress upon the young
minds in their charge the pernicious
effects of tight laclng and cigarette
smoking. He wants that to be the bat
tie cry all along the plastic juvenile
lines. If that shall become prevalent
teaching in the schools of the country,
it will be interesting to note the effects.
Some tracts will be needed at the homes
of the pupils.
The historian and philosopher will
pause to see the forty centuries that
looked down from the Egyptian pyra-
mids in NAPoLEoN's time, and the un-
womanly sphinx, now watching two
American base ball teams at the nationa
game. Cheops ana the other ancient
mummieS may be presumed to look out
of their crumbing tOmbs at this wanton
innovation. But they must concede
that it is humane substitute for the
brutal games they looked at four or five
thousand years ago. The fatalities are
less.
SOME of the papers are exercising
their ingenuity in drawing parallels be-
tween the last NAPOLEON and BoU-
LANCER, so far as the latter has gone.
Their success is limited by the brevity
of the BoULANGER career as unfolded.
If he could secure a plebiscit while the
Paris fever runs his way, there might
be extensions of the lines of compari-
son. But there is no present way. of
obtaining this and the friends of the re-
public will not let down the bars to
oblige those likely to oyerturn their
cherished structure.
ONE of the French members of the
Quebec parliament lately played the
small boy with a resolution, asking
what the Dominion authorities had in
mind in regard to the BUTTERWORTH
annexation resolutions. He was per-
haps related to that ancient maiden
lady who used to weep so bitterly and
explained that her tears were caused by
the thought that she might sometime
get married and have son who would
fall into the fire and burn himself. 1t
must afford the Cincinnati humorist a
good deal of amusement to see his little
Joke taken so seriously.
SUSAN i. ANTHONY and the other
good ladies who long for the ballot,
whether under the Australian system
or any other, will note that they are
falling behind their sisters over the
water in results effected. 1t is stated
that at the recent municipal elections
In England and Scotland 100000
women handed in their votes without
gloves and had them put in the boxes
and counted. That is a good base for
oratorical sweetness and hope when
they crate to legislatures.
WHILE Southern civilization is being
roasted for the CLAYTON murder in Ar
kansas, it may be well to note the case
at Mt. Horeb, WIS, the first of this
month. C. G. MANoT, the editor of the
Sun, was called to his door at midnight
