Local forecasts: Fair weather.
OMAHA is rapidly getting rid of horse
power on its street cars and using
cables and electricity. The horse
must go.
THE president hadn't nerve enough
to follow his Maine precedent and re-
fuse to kiss babies. He gave one at
Cincinnati stage kiss.
New YORK is hanging its bad peo-
pie as an inducement for the worlds
fair. Chicago is rather slow in getting
in needed work of this sort.
THE asphalt pavement is made sue
cess in heavy business streets by keep
ing it in perfect repair, which is mat
ter of watchfulness more than cost.
g THERE is a strong suspicion of dis
trust in the declaration of the Iowa Re-
publican convention that they want
protection. provided it does not foster
trusts and combinations.
IT Is difficult to find in any Republi-
can platform this year anything about
civil service reform. This isn't the
season for that. That was material eX
hausted year or less ago.
KANSAS expects to have 300,000,000
bushels of corn this year. The Repub-
licans i'll congress from that state will
undoubtedly favor the repeal of the in
ternal revenue tax on corn juice.
IA KANSAS CITY paper suggests that
it would aid to secure an appropriation
of a million or two for the improvement
of the Missouri, to put line of boats
upon it. 1t is is used chiefly for drink
ing purposes; a sort of mixed drink.
IT IS not a quite palatable decision
for the soldiers who have unSullled
records that the dishonorably discharged
are eligible to the pension roll. Presi-
dent CLEVELAND said "the pension
list was roll of honor" 1t should be.
THE man in Indiana who tasted sub
etantially siXty-seven days, and then
died only shows that he had rugged
constitution and remarkable vitality for
man eighty-five years of age. There
probably, however. was no occasion for
his living longer.
IDAHO has framed a state constitu-
ton in which it is provided that in civil
cases three-fourths of a jury may give
the verdict. That is not among the new
states provided for, but the provision is
believed to be wise and promotive of
efficiency in litigation. 1t is in opera
ton in California and Louisiana. and is
approved by many of the ablest attor-
neys.
SULLIVAN is not likely to return to
Mississippi to save $500 bail. He can
make up that amount in an exhibition
or two. Still, if he did go back, he
,o+ I, tni
convict contractor, who was himself in
dicted as one of the promoters of the
prize fight, promises to ''treat him like
gentleman" He would be furnished
gun and fishing apparatus to furnish
game for the others.
Nor long since the president re-
marked that he ''would not like to see a
negro postmaster at Indianapolis" But
why not at Indianapolis as well as in
Southern cities, if the man is capable
and votes the ticket straight? AT pop
uar watering place in the South one
was lately appointed who was grossly
incompetent, and in several instances
there has not been liberation for local
prejudices like those of the president.
Our of cent batch of about forty
postal appointments made by the presi-
dent, but one was on account of the eX-
piration of the term; nearly all were
removals. Among the latter was one at
Long Island City, who had served
twenty-eight months out of his four
years, and his retention was urged by
nearly all the Republicans as the best
postmaster the place had ever had. 1t
is proposed for the presDytery to in
Quire if BENJAMIN has the requisite
veracity for good deacon, as he
pledged himself very emphatically only
to remove for the good of the service.
THE great obstacle in the way of fe-
male suffrage is the Indifference and
opposition of the women. The number
who care to vote where they have a
chance is discouraging to those who are
sweating to secure to them their rights.
A law in Massachusetts requires the as
SCISSORS to inquire at every house
whether any of the women want to vote
at the school elections. Recent reports
of the assessors in the cities show that
not onesin fifty will vote, and some
even resent the invitation, and don't
talk sweetly TO the inquirers.
EDISON, the inventor, has been hon.
ored by the king of Italy with the title
of count. He has an assortment of
titles. The French government gave
him the ribbon of the Legion of Honor
some years ago. and Union college
made him Phi. d. A few weeks ago
Queen VICTORIA wrote him con-
gratulatory letter in regard to the phono-
graph, and would NO doubt fill any THU
