A RAILROAD trust with 100000 miles
of road and 81, 0OOOOO,0OO of capital will
make the peanut and watermelon trusts
look small.
If PRINCE RUSSELL gave the queen
a horse-chestnut for her rheumatism,
the relations between the two countries
may be regarded as quite cordial.
PLANS are being devised to submit
to congress for an enlargement of the
White house. The HARRISON tribe is
crowded, and must have more room.
RUSSELL HARRISON has tipped glass
ware with the prince of Wales, and
dined with the queen. There is no
doubt need of enlarging the White
house.
THERE is one objection to the use Of
electricity for killing people in need of
kilIing-the parties most interested are
all opposed to it. They dread to. take the
chances.
! The White house may be too small
for the HARRISON persuasion, but there
is a growing suspicion in the coun-
try that BEN HARRISON is a good deal
too small for the house.
If BROWN the police Killer in the
Moorhead Jail. is so cheerful in the pro-
spect of being hanged, it would be a
pity to subject him to the perils of pro-
ionged existence. Then the Sheriff
needs the $500 job.
PAPERS at Milwaukee, Saltwater and
other rural communities have the bad
manners to suggest that the Twin City
section that issues its directory last al
ways has the advantage. Do they mean
to insinuate an intimation?
THERE are in some of the Jails in
Maine people incarcerated for debt, and
vet they have all the benefits of prohibit
ton, protective tariff and laws requir-
ing shipping built at home. Probably
there is a mistake about their being in
debt.
THAT salt trust, which wants to be
called union. numbers among its attor-
neyS TRACY, the secretary of war, and
PLATT, the mogul of the Republican
machine in New York. Perhaps they
will want the administration to insist
upon salt being on the free list.
THAT Democrat returning from con-
sulship to give place to a Republican
had evidently not kept posted. He
wanted to pass his house effects at the
custom house without duty, just as
BLAINE, WANAMAKER and other Re-
publicans do. Of course he couldn't
do it. There is no Democratic chalk
there.
IT Is asserted in the East that the con-
iest fol the "drunkenest city on the
American continent" lies between Port
land and Bangor, Me. If the reports Of
inebriety and debauchery related are
not grossly exaggerated, it is evidently
the moral duty of the temperate and
humane communities, like the Twin
Cities, to send missionaries down there.
In sPE AKING of the improvements
she wants in the White house. Mrs.
HARRISON says they are there for four
years, but she does not count beyond
that, as so many things are likely to hap
pen. She is something of dipIOmatiSt,
but evidently wants it understood that
the programme provides for second
term. All the manipulations will be
for the promotion of that end.
POSSIBLY HARRISON was trying to
please himself when he appointed
ROBERT SMALL collector in South Caro-
lima. SMALL was one of the dregs of
the carpet bag era, and was convicted of
bribery and sentenced to imprisonment
for two years. Still he is not much out
of place among those who are operating
and dispensing things in the name of
the party that claims cinch on all the
virtues.
MILWAUKEE was fortunate enough to
get its appropriation of S1,200,000 for a
government building passed by the last
Congress, and it is so sorry now that it
did not go in for 100000, that the
government architect has been asked to
make the plans for the larger sum.
Senator SPooNER is to work the figures
up and is confident of his ability.
SPooNER is a special favorite with HAIR
RISoN, and that is supposed to count.
IT IS becoming very rare to find an in
telligent Republican paper now insist
ing that TANNER is all right, and in
Fcrsed by everybody the party cares
for. There is no doubt that he has pro-
voked disgust and alarm in high quar-
tiers, and there is possible truth in the
report that comes from Washington
that TANNER must go after the G. A. r.
encampment at Milwaukee next month.
This, no doubt. assumes that the en-
campment will not formally indorse
their presumed representative
