ana the papers 0OWn Lnere are as mucn
elated over it as was the Topeka Capt.
tai over the publication of the Coney
letter.
LIFE Imprisonment is perhaps the
best that Mrs. Maybrick can hope for.
Thus will the stage be robbed of a
bright star. But there is Sarah Althea. |
Life has its compensations as we'll as
its losses.
DIR. HAMMOND, the enthusiastic, says |
that the trouble with the elixir is that |
they who attempt to use it, allow it to |
become s'sterilized. 1t must be used |
quickly or not at ali. Sic loqVtur
Hammond.
AN anonymous admirer has pre-
scented the Prince OF Wales with lit
tie purse of $4,000. There is perhaps
no one in Merry England who can
appreciate that sort of a gift more
than the prince.
So, EDISON is count and Queen
Victoria a colonel. Who knows but
some gushing king or queen will con-
fer title of some sort on Son Russell
before he leaves Europe. There is no
telling where this thing is going to
stop.
EVERY paper in the country is as
surfing US that Sarah Althea, and the
balance of her hyphenated cognomen,
will go upon the stage. Not if she can
work any more California millionaires,
and add another link to her name.
THE protest of our Kansas senators
against the appointment of a Massa-
chusetts minister as superintendent of
Haskell institute, has borne no fruit
as yet. Everything portends pros
porous career for our yet infant rebel
lion.
| GENERAL Russell ALGER is said to
be candidate for commander-in-chief
Of the &. A. r. The general is still a
boomer it seems, that is one who
bOoms himself assiduously. Notwith-
standing, ne will be formidable can
didate.
Two weeks ago Eten 5. Allen, vice
president of New York street rail-
way stood high in the business and
social worlds. To-day he is in the
state prison for fourteen years. JUS
tice is getting some of the lead out of
her heels in New York.
"JOHN l.. SULLIvAN's sentence is
all right" says an exchange. OF
course it is, but he has to thank the
newspapers for it, that so numerically
guyed the authorities of Mississippi.
Resentment and not the law, fixed the
sentence.
THE president will visit Indianapo-
lis this week. OF course that old town
is not to be compared as summer re-
sort to Bar Harbor or Deer Park,
hence we may say that the pres
dent does not go thither for the sake
of his health.
The president, in an outburst of
honorable patriotism, declared his in
tention the other day to do all in his
power towards restoring American
shipping. Is not that idea inconsist-
ent with the home market theory Of
non-intercourse with foreigners?

gagged few months ago to New
York belle. Lately they quarreled
and he has just brought SUIT for the
recovery of the presents he made her.
Evidently the presents were not
marked and win do for some other
girl.
THE Topeka Capital has soured OF
Commissioner Tanner. 1t tells hin
plainly that his explanation of the
Henderson Teratiug lis not satisfac
ttory," and that the whole thing ''does
not look we'll from any point Of view.
Is the Capital nurturing little REBEL
ion also?
Mrs. MAVERICK has after all, t.
r thank Judge Stephens for escaping th'
gallows. His terrible arraignment o
i her for the crime charged against her
( and his NOrburY like charge to thu
b jury aroused IA popular revulsion il
o her behalf that swept the verde
, / aside and saved the woman's life. Tn
n preJjudiced charge to the Jury, ant
e not the doubtful character of the evi

e no place in the modern Judiciary for
d | Jeffreys OF Norbury.
THE question of finding a substitute
L for the species of binding Irvine now il
use, SO as to head off the Irvine trust a
the harvest next yeav, is now being ag
itated in the newspapers. The Substi
tute idea is all nonsense. Let congress
1 at the coming session remove the dut
3 on Irvine and the material of which
= is made-which is not grown in thi
countvy-and the plundering trus
9 won't last one hour, and binding twin
9 will be far cheaper than it has eve
Il been. Is not that the most ObViou
IS remedy that can be suggested? If not
q will some one that knows tell us why
Ell THE Atlanta Constitution is tn

her position in the postofIice because c
