MANY people did not realize the heat
of the late period as they would have
done had they not had their minds filled
with SULLIVAN and KILRAIN.
POSSIBLY there was neglect to fur
nish the governors Of Louisiana and
Mississippi tickets to the show. But
they did the advertising, all the same.
If THE tariff is taken off all the ar
ticles that are controlled by trusts, will
some one one enumerate the counts that
will separate from free trade in impor-
tant articles of consumption?
IT IS true, as BEN BUTLER suggests,
that, if Canada desires union with the
United States, Great Britain would be
unable to prevent it. There would
probably be no attempt to do so. There
is no occasion to hasten the inevitable.
WHILE there is disparagement of the
foreign commerce of the United States,
it is discovered that it is ahead OF one
country in steam tonnage. 1t has
nearly double that of the Kingdom of
Kalakaua, who couldn't borrow $4,000
to do Europe with. Still no one Is seen
to point with pride" to the fact, as the
platforms sometimes say.
Hon. JOHN e. RUSSELL, of Massa-
chusetts, made some of the brighte st
tariff speeches in the last congress. In
a recent letter drawn out by the club
that is investigating the tariff question,
he describes the American farmer as
|'the victim of those who cut straps out
of the hides of the poor to make Stirrup
feathers for the rich"
QUEEN VICTORIA has saved up little
things for fifty years or more, and now
can count up S3O,O00,O0O and more as
her personal possession; and still she
calls upon parliament TO set her grand
children up in housekeeping as she
finds husbands and wives for them.
She could do the liberal thing by them
herself without much pinching.
In THE late campaign in Pennsyl-
vania the Prohibitionists flooded the
state with documents and printed mat
ter, as well as orators. AS high as ten
million miSsiyeS of various kinds were
furnished the voters. The other side
seems to have relied mainly upon the
newspapers. They are the only effect
i've agencies to reach the masses. This
is found to be as true in business rela-
tions as political matters.
IT Is the current report in England
that the Duke of Portland had the nerve
to decline an opportunity afforded him
to become the husband of Princess
LOUISE, since betrothed to the Earl of
Fife. The queen is reported to be full
of wrath at him. There are so many of
the royal progeny that it imposes diff
BILE partners for them. They must all
be married in order to multiply the
royal stock.
THE claim agents are so patriotic that
they invest the Objectionable green pos
tage stamps by the thousands in send
ing out circulars to pensioners. urging
them TO apply for an increase, and if
not getting one, or had claims rejected,
"'to fill up the documents again, as
wide open" policy has the swing now.
1t is harvest for the agents. the sec
rotary has lately pulled sharp twitch
on the rope he has OH TANNER, but he
usually forgets that he has any chance
to check him.
SOME political people who talk about
getting together speak of DANA, of the
New York Sun, as a Democrat. Some
times he tries to wear the label. but he
was an old-time Wing and ingrained
protectionist, He held Office under the
Republicans, ard fell out with GRANT
and other Republicans about some posi-
tons, aud has acted with the Democrats
at times, always pouting and unhappy;
but he has never had any baptism in
the faith. 1t is improbable business,
urging him to get together as Demo-
crat.
MILWAUKEE seems likely to be badly
treated in the matter of the national en-
campment. 1t has been at work for
months arranging to disburSe hospital
ity to 10000 or more of the veterans,
and. among other things, great naval
engagement in the harbor was on the
programme. AS the railroads refuse the
one-cent-amile rate, the G. A. f. author
tiles propose to retaliate by sending a
meager representation, Instead of the
attendance almost as a body. This will
be trifling matter to the roads, but
shabby treatment of the city.
SENATOR INGALLS, is quoted as pro-
posing that every Union soldier with
an honorable discharge should have a
pension of at least IS a month. As a
rule, the old soldiers are among the
most prosperous citizens. and have no
need Of the money. A badge of honor
to be handed down to their posterity in
recognition of patriotic services would
perhaps be more valued by most of
them, as it would be free from the sor-
did suspicion that attaches to the pen
sion business. Those in need of ma
terial aid will always find the country
disposed to give them grateful assist
ance.
THE statement that JOHN HANKS is
dead does not suggest any special Incl
dent to the general reader. The name
is not familiar. JOHN was an old-time
Democrat in Illinois. but an enthusiast
tic admirer of ABRAHAM LINCOLN. At
one time in his early manhood LINCOLN
had worried for II A MIC cnIittil.r rails
