JUDGE Hu.ToN has been made to dis
gorge 100000 of the plunder he ac-
Quired in managing the A. L. STEWART
estate, but as he has about 12,O0O.OOO
left there need be no great amount OF
sympathy expended on him.
The drawbacks in some localities will
not probably keep the wheat yield of
the year much below SOC, 100000 bushels,
which is but little less than the big crop
of 1884. The little f]urrieS in the mar
ket have no special 'gnifcance.
SEATTLE had remarkable growth.
In 1880 its opulation was 1888, and in
1883 the count made 19, 1t had
very pleasant location between two
lakes and beautiful bay. on high,
soping land. 1t will no doubt become
one of the largest of the lively Pacific
slope towns.
THE New York Herald advises the
Vassar graduates that sit is better to
know how to win and keep the love of
a good man than to trace the human
family back to a protoplasm." The
girls will probably show that the advice
is not needed if the Herald will show
them the good man.
THERE is benevolent if not patriotic
feature to the practice of some saloons
now, in setting out hard-boiled eggs. A
nickel invested in beer. with the egg
and bread, is said to enable many pa
triots to preserve life in Washington
while the president is trying to please
himself in the distribution of offices.
SEATTLE is vindicating the estimate
of its energy and enterprise by the
vigor with which the work of rebuild
ing is undertaken. The journals are
emerging from the debris full of con-
fldence, schools and churches are being
put in running order, business houses
hang out their signs from tents and
sheds, and the place will soon be livelier
than ever.
THERE are a good many thousand
miners in Clay county, Indiana, and
they are reported Oh the verge of great
suffering. They are out of employ
ment, with small prospect of having
any. In the campaign last year great
deal of parade was made in taking them
to indianapolis to be told by Mr.. HAIR
RIsoN what protection would do for
them. They are learning.
In ILLINOIS the Mormons who are
doing missionary work for their faith
have had some rude experiences. In
one town their big tent was torn down
and destroyed, and the apostles escaped
rough treatment by rapid departure.
The Mormon system may be ''relic of
barbarism,'' but there is no excuse in
civilized country for acting like bar
barianS toward its votarieS. The laws
should be comprehensive enough to
haul them up when they make trouble.
A PINAFoRE case at st. Louis has
found its way into the courts. Two
mothers at ball left babe in the ante
room, and they became mixed by care
less attendants. Both were boys, of the
same age, and looked and dressed alike.
so that their mothers are unable to dis
tiuguish between them. If they cannot
tell their own offspring, how a judge
can is one of they mysteries.
ONE colored man has been rewarded
by the administration. JOHN HoUGH-
TON, the colored porter who aided the
wife of Private Secretary HALFoRD to
escape from the train wrecked at Johns
town, has been appointed a messenger
in the treasury department.. No doubt
he deserved high credit for his act, as
did several other people on that disas-
trous occasion, but he is the only one
remembered by the government. 1t is
convenient to have government Offices
with which to compensate individuals
for private service.
THE surprising statement is made
that base ball club that went out of
business last year has lately divided
SSH among it's stockholders as the
dividend on an investment of $4,000.
This showing was the result, mainly, of
the system In vogue among professional
clubs that enables the directors to sell
players very much as men of dark skin
were sold in the South before the war.
They can rule out those who will not
submit to it and prevent their earning
living at their vocation. Still, it must
be regarded as advantageous in the
main, or it would not be tolerated.
In OMAHA the cable cars are so noisy
as to disturb the senSibilitieS of the
newspapers, and perhaps other people,,
One of the papers apprehends that the
