1t might be well for the people of the

EVERY day brings forth its sensa-
ton. The Samoan war cloud melted

same time Jersey cow at Eau Claire
gave birth to four calves.
AN OHIO paper claims that the presi-
dent and four members of his cabinet
were born in Ohio, and that BLAINE
was educated there. Still it was hog
gish enough to want more.
IT NAY be noted that Senator Ed
MUNDS voted to sustain the veto of the
taX-refunding bill. He is man who
does not ALWAYS vote for measures not
approved by his Judgment, even to keep
with his party friends.
SOME people always want to compare
things. For instance, it is stated that
more men are employed in making base
balls than in printing Bibles; there
fore, no games should be played Oh
Sunday, OF perhaps the reverse.
In THINKING of the experience of
some of its emisSaries, a New York
paper quotes the Scripture, ut is al

TIE feeling exhibited at Huron, OAK.
toward Hon. WILLIAM NJ. SPRINGER is
likely to be attributed to the feature of
the omnibus bill that made the capital a
prize for the town that could get the
most votes. 1t was not in commendable
taste.
LOOKING out upon the vast array Of
able-bodied oflice-seekers, the president
felt no fear when he heard the rumor
that Germany had sent one of our tubs
to the bottom of the deep blue sea. He
knew that the White house, the depart
ment buildings, and the capitol were
guarded.
IT SEEMS that the medical faculty has
not yet reduced the phenomena of in
sanity to an exact science. For several
weeks number of Pennsylvania boys,
ranging in age from ten to sixteen
years, have been playing crazy so sue
cessfully as to fool some of the best
doctors i'll the state.

there is no virtue in the grand jury

satisfaction with HARRIsoN's cabinet.

THE freight rates by rail from the
Pacific coast have generally been re-
garded as exorbitant, at least by the
shippers. but they have made no sys-
tematic efforts for relief. Recently
some of the California dealers combined
and shipped about 800 carloads of
