THE New York Sun and Kansas
City Times pause occasionally in their
raids on the politicians and others, to
discuss the relative merits of the vie-
lin makers StradiyarIus and Guarner-
ius. In these piping times of peace it
is presumed that the public will feel
an unusual interest IN the leading
characteristics and genius of '.Old
Rosin-the-Bow.
Col. H. NJ. GREEN, who retired some
days ago from the eiitorship of the
Lawrence Journal, because of disa-
greements between himself and Loer-
nard, owner of the paper, is now edi-
tor of the Record, the new Funston
organ started, in that city. From this
it would seem that Colonel Green re-
fused to use the Journal as a battering
ram wherewith to smash Funston's
fences.
JUDGE SAWYER in the United states
court has rendered a lengthy decision
in the Nagle-T Terry shooting case. The
judge holds that the homicide was en-
tirely justifiable, and that the officer
was acting within the line of duty
when he shot Terry. The question of
location is allowed to cut no figure in
the case. Neither does the judge find
any conflict between the federal and
state authority. The case will go to
the supreme court.
GEORGE r. Picks Grafton at the
unwilling ofslthe Grant monument at
Fort Leavenworth has been pro-
nounced superior to Senator Ingalls,
effort. Noneebut a jaundiced mind
could seess it so. The latS
ter contained some very terse
and eloquent passages, the
like of which. could not be found in
Peck's address. Yet this latter was
really gems and only fell short of the
Ingalls, effort in being less scholarly
and epigrampatic.
THE Observation-Disclosures at Bridge
port Connecticut deny that their BUSH
ness has been greatly damaged by the
alleged decldence of the hustle. 1t is
true they admit, that the sale of the
feminine adorDment, or rather disfig-
urment has declined in the east. but is
still good in the west. Here is a slam
at the west which if deserved, is a ser
ious ref1ectiontOn our western ladies
whose tenacitg in holding on to fash
ionable chesnuts after they have be-
come stale, iSfar from creditable.
i JOHN l.. SULLINAN as a congress-
man does NOT sound very well, nor is it
likely that John would accomplish
much of good for his state if chosen to
represent one of its districts in the ma
! tional legislature. But there is this
about it, he would not do any harm
because he'Jcould not. Therein be
would be a better man than Riddleber-
ger. ThereIis more in this than one
. thinks for, when it is considered thai
a wealthy moneYbags might be chosen
. who would do as little as the sluggel
! for the people, but a great deal fol
. himself. 1t would be far more reput
bic to send man of wealth. but in or
der that he may be no more harmful
than the prize fighter, he should bt
: an ignoramIis.
Bob YOUNGER is dead. He was al
