 "Now that the campa:gn is over says the Boston Herald. "it may not be deemed imprudent to reveal the fact that Dr William Everett offered to con tribute S5.0O0 to the democratic cam. paign fund if the democratic committee would agree to give up the use of the word rally" and substitute the word meeting" instead. It is needless to say that Dr Everett made this offer solely in behalf of good English and not to ad- vance his political fortunes.

 JUST as we supposed, the New Jersey button manufacturer who advanced the wages of his workmen did so on account of the existing conditions of demand and supply of labor of that kind, and not at all by reason of the increase of the tariff duty. His workmen threatened to strike unless their wages were increased from the low rate that prevailed, and as there are not buttonmakers enough in the country now for the necessities of the manufacturers, this man was forced to accede to the demands made upon him.

 An English newspaper charged a shiro councillor with having "tiddly winked the shire funds" The law was invoked and, after consulting all the available dictionaries without finding any definition of the term, the court de- cided that the phrase was not neces- Bary libelous. The game of tiddlewinks. which is now in vogue in this country, is one of skill, and an expert tiddle- winker must be gifted with sleight of hand. Financial tiddlewinking is a suggestive phrase, and is now intro duced for the first time.
