THE fact that Missouri is found to |
have the largest soldier element i'll |
this pension district, may mean the |
removal of the pension Office from |
this state.
The president has abolished the
Sunday drill in the army. The evan
gelical features of the present admin
istration, or of portion of it, are quite |

SIMEON BOLIVAR BRADFORD has
evidently thrown up the sponge in
Pennsylvania, as he telegraphed Gov
ernor Humphrey Monday that he would
start for home at 4:3O.
CONGRESSMAN KELLY was in To-
peka yesterday receiving the congrat-
ulations of his friends and admirers.

old time in Pans hobnobbing with
maTquises and princesses that we may
expect him if ever he condescends TO
return to this country, to come bearing
the title Vicomte Guillaume De Bis
on.
THE man who has plenty of it will
tell you with a compl aisant air that it
is not money, but the love of it that is
the root of all evil. OF course you are
expected to infer that he does not love
it one bit, but you are not expected to
beg the loan of a ''fiver."
SECRETARY BLAINE's brother Robert
is to be made register of wills in the Dis
triet of Columbia at salary of 81 200.
The secretary is still solid with the adj
ministration, if we may judge from
the number of his family and rela-
tiVes taken care of.
KANSAS CITY gained some little
base ball glory when she played the
Louisville club a short time ago. She
has had to live on that eyer since. Her
Cowboy aggregation are being used as
mop on the Atlantic seaboard for sew
eral days back. Better call them back,
and send them to Louisville.
GOVERNOR MARTIN wants men elect
ed to the next legislature who Will
have the courage to say hang" when
occasion rises calling for the rope. The
day of the "maudlin sentimentalist'
should be ended and new and more
summary regime inaugurated. Almost
every newspaper in the state wants the
same, but will they get it?
| THE Shah of Persia, royal hog of

Europe at present, going from court to
court and merely because of his royalty
is being wined and dined and greatly
honored by other royalties equally as
useless as himself, and not a mighty
SIGHT better SO far as morals or re-
finement go.
THEY found a corpse in the river
near Humboldt the other day and a
smart growers quest found it a case of
suicide. What pity the same jury
had not found the body of Cronin.
All this pother about conspirac1es,
! assassination, Clan-na-Gael, etc.,
would have been saved by finding that
he had broken his own head, and tum-
bled himself naked into catch basin
A NUMBER of prominent Philadel.
phia lawyers have prepared and signed
l memorial directed to the voters Of
