That innocent institution is evidently
not able to read his mind.
IT IS said that efficient Democrats
may be retained as consus in some
cases, but it is not believed that Demo
cratic efficiency is found in the BLAINE
lexicon.
THERE is mixture of candor and
local emotion in the declaration of the
st. Louis paper that it impairs the value
of a Missouri senator to be drunk most
of the time.
IT IS consoling in the absence of
MARY ANDERSON to learn that in Lon
don she ''speaks kindly of America"
She may yet, by some exertion, be able
to forgive even st. Louis.
IT Is complained in Kansas that no
man in that state has been appointed
by the president who did not already
hold good position. He doesn't know
anybody there but officeholders.
THE president says he has tried to ap-
point men to please members of con-
gress, but thinks he ought to have a
chance to take care of his personal
friends. An Office is private snap.
IMPROVEMENTS upon the nickel slot

The coin goes down and the poison

A ST. LOUIS paper speaks of the eli

homa grabbers will find, but they will
follow the mad rush. People generally
want experience of their own to learn

The agony of the heart furnace and
Intensity of pathos are found in the

fell dead with bullet in her head:
''For Gods sake give me dimes worth

"RoBERT ELsMERE," the play found
ed upon the proliX religious novel, has
been tested in Boston, and very little
of the spirit or scheme of the work is
indicated in the drama. Those who
have courageously gone through the
book will care little for the stage YER

ENGLAND has office-seekers as cour-

The average of life in the British set

Mr.. BLAINE is disappointing the ex-

Partisan malignity followed him to the
