Two P's,PATRICK and PARNELL, float
On the green to-day.
''MoTHERING Sunday it is termed
in Ireland when st. Patrick's day comes
on Sunday.
GROVER CLEVELAND with celebrate
his fifty-second birthday tomorrow if
he don't forget it.
LANGTRY and GERHARD are en-
phatic IN discrediting the notes of the
gossipy birds of the air.
THE papers that persist in marrying
the LANGTRY to the GERHARD should
define the status of the n ale LANGTRY.
A BROTHER of Mr.. BLAINE is booked
for register of wills at Washington. The
fees are Juicy. The others will come in
on time.
IN THE main, ST. Patrick's day will
come day late this year on account of
Sunday. Some may spread it out over
two days.
IT Is given out that there are no bald
to discourage LYDIA THOMPSON and
the other bouffe people.
THERE has been some halting in
order to find places for the great ed
itors. There were plenty of holes, but
the pegs were too large.
THE officeseekers are now allowed to
do full share of the worrying. The
great effort at the White house seems
to be to keep out of their sight.
THE crime center is evidently moving
eastward. For years 1t swung back and
forth from L
just at present it hovers within the con-
fines of Pennsylvania.
1T IS computed that business failures
have increased so per cent since the 1st
of January in the chief manufacturing
regions, where prosperity was to take
new wings under assured protection.
THE New Workers feel relieved that
the anniversary of their blizzard has
passed with no repetition. 1t is re-
corded as freak like one or two heard
OF in some of the territories before they
became states.
IL Is given as one of the points of the
WASHBURN who has just been ap-
pointed to foreign mission, that he is
the handsomeSt man in Massachusetts.
A Boston paper comedies this, although
WASHBURN is not an Athenian.
THE season of Lent stretches out
forty-siX days this year, from Ash
Wednesday to Easter. Ladies who
have floral or decorative specialties for
the occasion will note that the 21st of
April is the day for their display.
THAT French Panama canal is not
entirely abandoned. Some of the capi-
talists are apparently willing to take it
as it stands. with little credit for what
has been done. but the old stockholders
don't see how that is to get them out of
the soup.
THE Ohio legislature is wrestling
with a bill to keep oleomargarine out of
the butter tubs in that state. There
was intense opposition to the provision
against colorlng the tallow mixture to
resemble butter. The people there are
evidently eating good deal of oleo on
their bread.
THE national head of the Democratic
CARNATIONS congregate Oh the I'd of
April, and talk of JEFFERSON and the
ancient dOgmas. The idea is commend
able. 1t will refresh to drink at the
fountain head. and there is leisure now
for Democrats to drink freely.
A MAN has been convicted under the
brohibitory law in Kansas of selling
Jamaica ginger. Some of the unin-
formed think that is absurd, but there
is alcohol in the article, and very mod
crate industry with it will tangle the
legs. If there is alcohol in fermented
yeast it should be put out of Kansas.
Radical reforms are needed there.
THE brother of his brother is enioying
modest little boom down in Kansas
City. To be more explicit, there are
certain Democrats in that village who
are urging the nomination of SCOTT
HARRISON, BEN'S brother, for the
mayoralty. In addition to being the
grandson of his grandfather and the
brother of his brother, SCoTT is ster-
ling Democrat, successful business
man and a popular citizen.
PRESIDENT HARRISON yesterday
Notified the Indians hustlers that when
lie wanted their advice regarding ap-
pointments he would send for them.
He further dropped hint as to the ex-
traVagant prices charged by Washing
ton landlords, conveying the not very
occult suggestion that they would find
