THE business situation continues to
be series of paradoXes.
THE safest calculation that will be
made on the wheat crop will be the one
that is made after the wheat is har-
vested.
WHAT is the matter with the New
York HeraId's geography? 1t locates
Deer Park in New Jersey. The light
ming that strikes it is not of the Jersey
kind.
THE Montana constitution-makerS are
dead set against woman suffrage.
Women are in demand in Montana, but
it is wives and mothers who are needed,
and not voters.
'WILL man rob God?" asks Mis-
souri, paper. That depends. A st.
Louis man would, but Kansas City
man can get rich faster by handling pork
and real estate.
BIG money will be asked of the next
congress for the improvements of wa
terways. That's right. But what is
needed just now is an appropriation to
buy water to put into the rivers.
DELAWARE has acquired some note
for its fine peaches. but at present it is
attracting attention from having a Re-
publican who wants to resign his office
provided another Republican of the
state can have it. He has held consul
lar position on the Pacific twenty-seyen
years. and is named SMITHERS.
SAM JONES and SAM SMALL are 60
ing to take the stump for prohibition in
South Dakota at so much per speech.
If they can bring the temperance cause
into disrepute with the same dispatch
and prOmptness that marked their ca
ceed in securing solid vote against the
amendment.
A SMALL war cloud is with some care
observed in the religious skies of Can
ada. Language and religion are inter-
mixed. 1t is intimated as possible
outcome that the province of Quebec
may want to come to the United States.
1t would, in case of its admission, de-
moralize the British possessions and
lead the various provinces to follow it.
1T WAS decided in New York that
murderer may be killed by electricity,
even if he did his deed before the law
was passed, and when he could have
anticipated 10 more unpleasant punish
ment than being hung. But while they
are quibbling about the law, no muir
derer is being terminated in either way.
Nor long since eighty robbers were
executed at Pekin in one day. They did
not fool with electricity, either. If they
did not kill people there in this sort of
way, the country would be too crowded.
There are probably objections to apply
ing Chinese law to Cinnamon in this
country.
The G. A. r. post that decided to
drop from the rolls Gen. BRAGG. of
Wisconsin, on account of his opposition
to the way the pension business is be-
ing run, did not reflect glory upon the
post, so far as visible to the unaided
vision. Possibly they will discover
after while that there are better ways
to make the pension list roll of honor
than by greedy scramble for lucre.
CONGRESSMAN who want to get post
masters changed in cases not operated
exclusively by GARRISON have discoy-
eredthat it is only necessary to show
that the incumbent understands the
other great national game, that of
poker, even if he only INDUCES in
penny ante with 10-cent limit. There
is probably trouble in finding Repub-
lican politicians in Dakota who are
eligible under this rule.
THERE must be something wrong
with Cincinnati beer. 1t has had repu-
tatlOn for Huency, and has been the life
of many grand occasion about the
Ohio city. 1t had of late become a
spiritual promoter at church dedica-
tons, but for some reason has fallen
under the clerical ban. The highest
church authority has, metaphorically,
put his foot through the head of the
beer keg. He will have no more beer
at church occasions. 1t may be hard
on Cincinnati piety, but it must learn
to initiate the abstemiouS example of
Chicago and st. Paul, or perhaps change
the quality of the beer.
IF NEW YORK does not take hold of
the proposed worlds fair for 1892 to
celebrate the first visit of COLUMBUS to
this side of the water, with the requisite
energy, there Will be some disposition
