OMAHA is about to dispense with
horsetiesh as street car motor and
substitute electricity. There is drift
toward fastness in that ambitious young
city.
THE late president is giving attention
to perfecting the ensemble as domes-
tic man. He has just added a step
father-in-law, but there is one notable
lack.
The German emperor gives 1t out at
a banquet that he wants to lead in the
way of peace. He wants little bigger
army to follow him than the other peace
seekers have.
Some one says HARRISON will have
trouble in getting the nomination in
1892 for lack of friends. 1t must be
presumed that some of his relatives in
Office will desert him.
The word asylum" doesn'tseem to be
the exact word for the houses where in
sane people are treated in the precincts
of Chicago. There are depictions in
DANTE that are more appropriate.
ROOSEVELT and his civil service
boald will find the heads of power and
influence nearly all in their pathway.
Secretary TRACY is credited with the
exulting assurance to the young re-
former, "Your old commission has no
power over me-"
In SOME parts of Ohio the seventeen
year locusts have appeared, and swarm
over everything like officeseekers at
Washington. Then 1t is given out,also,
that FORAKER has decided to be gov
ernor for the third time. 1t is a good
time to come West.
IT WAS only coincidence, but none
the less singular, that CRGNIN's body
was found at the very hour that the
Chicago jury handed in their verdict in
the CARTER divorce case. 1t is rare
occurrence that two such sensational
bubbles burst at the same time.
Gov. BEAVER, of Pennsylvania, also,
like QUAY, wants it understood that he
will vote for the prohibitory amend
ment as moral question and not as a
Republican dogma. They are all anx-
ious to keep the party crockery out of
the crash that is to come in June.
THE Jews in the world number $780,,
600. according to what is stated as an
official census at the beginning of this
year, and only 25O,OOO are credited to the
United States. The most singular state
ment is that the Jewish population of
the wo rid has not varied 100000 in sew
eral centuries.
AMONG one lot of arrivals at Castle
Garden last week were found seven ex-
convicts, sent out by the London Pris-
oners' Aid society. No doubt such are
landed constantly without detection, as
there is not usually any way of Identify
ing them. There are criminals enough
in this country. without having them
shipped in gangs.
IT IS stated that new smoke con-
sumer has been invented at Chicago
that is real success, and leaves no
smoke at all. 1t is claimed to be great
saving in fuel also. The Wisconsin
Central has found it very satisfactory on
its locomotives, according to the state
ment. Probably the owner of it might
find customers in st. Paul.
THERE is said to be republic in the
Pyrenees that carries on its government
without any taxes, and many of the
people live to be over hundred years
old. Ofliceseekers will hardly want to
go there, as there are no salaries to the
Offices, and probably no stealings. It is
a pocket affair, with only hundred
citizens.
If THE Australian system Of voting
had its first test at the recent election in
Montana, the apprehensions expressed
by Republican papers, at Boston and
elsewhere, that it is obstructive of the
kind Of voting needed of late for the
success of the party, are evidently not
without basis. Republican legislatures
will be slow to adopt it now.
THE Chicago Tribune has learned
that Minnesota is threatened with a
visitation of grasshoppers, and suggests
that they can be kept out by requiring
inspection on the hoof. All the grass
hoppers that will be in Minnesota this
year will be those that are passing
through OH their way to Chicago, to be
counted in the census of 1890.
THERE seem to be exceptions to the
rule that the families of the native
stock in New Eng land have but one or
two children. A good mother in Con-
necticut counted fourteen, all living and
no twins, and she had an interesting
time when all the fourteen indulged in
scarlet fever in concert. She should
come West and take up claims.

THERE will be delay and attempts to
feel of the popular temper, but the in
dications are very positive that the
presidential mind is coiled unmistaka-
bly, about the purpose to transplant
MILLER from the cabinet to the supreme
bench. to sit in the vacancy caused by
the death If Justice MATTHEWS The
