SENATOR VEST is dear lover of joke,
and he was last week the author of one
which caused a litter to 20 around the
senate that was Joined in by the republiN
cans. although the laugh was on them.
MIR. Vest presented memorial purport-
ing to be signed by a number of dentists
asking that bounty of 81 per tooth ex-
tracted be allowed to American dentists,
in order to encourage an honest indus
try, lower the cost to patients. and en-
courage the immigration of dentists from
other parts of the world, thereby making
better market for the agricultural and
other products of this country" A very
clever parody on the amendment the re-
publica ans adopted TO the tariff bill, al
lowing a bounty of one per cent per
psund on sugar produced in this country.

Col. G. j. MURPHY will shortly visit
the west in the interest Of the proposed
special corn exhibit at the coming Paris
exposition. The aim is to Introduce our
national cereal to the notice of European
nations and thus furnish a larger market
for our corn crop. Although the corn
crop of 1887 was valued at S648 00O, 600
and that of wheat at less than half that
sum. yet the value of corn exported was
only S19. 1000, 0O0 while wheat footed up
to the enormous total of 100000 900.
This. too, IN spite OF the fact that in corn
we are without competition. while in
wheat we are compelled to compete with
the vast fields and cheap labor Of Russia
and India.

POLITICAL teetotalism does not appear
to be gaining ground in Massachusetts, a
state where 1t certainly has had fair
trial. In 1885 out of $40 cities and towns
only "a, or 81 per cent, voted to grant
licenses. The popular ajority against
license showed 500 per cent of the people
OF the state to be in favor of the policy OF
prohibition. In 1887 with the same
number of cities and towns, SO voted
yea. The majority against license had
become 81 So per cent of the total. The
total vote was 166 per cent greater than
in 1885. In 1888. when the number of
cities and towns was 351. IS or % per
cent voted yea. The total vote increased
25 per cent in this year and SO 45 per
cent was in favor of license.
