ing 1t from the grip Of Tammany.
Chicago has discovered that the small

the worlds fair q success. A few less
big hog stickers should pass around the
hat.
Sitting Bull Ia at his old tricks again
and Ia trying TO Incite an uprising smong
the Sioux Indians. II Ia about time the
United States bottled this old knave up
10 the prison OF some fort.
Germany IL going TO Introduce Ameri-
can cars for the passenger service on the

the assassiDs OF their Chief of Police
II the victim had been a colored man,
the murder would have attracted very
little attention.
william II. English OF Indiana is at
Washington engaged In digging out data
for history Of that state which he Is
writing. He doubtless finds this occu-
patton far more delightful than running

cratic ticket.
New York city with a population of
l,50O,0O has debt Of e97 ,0OO, 900,
although since 1850 when its population
numbered 50o, 900 aud It's debt was Ga
100000, there has been paid si0O, 600 900
for reducing this debt. This Is simply
a mathematical illustration Of Demo
cratic political and financial economy.
Senator Brice OF Ohio predicts that
Congressman Mckinley will be defeated
This Ia most encouraging to the friends
OF the gallant Major. u Brice had pre-
dicted his election there would have been

in the rainbow and boomerang class.
II will be very hard lines for Col. Fell
lows Of New York, to secure an election
to Congress now that the county DemOc-
racy has nominated a strong candidate
against him. 1t would be disgrace to
the great empire State to have a man
like Fellows whose political record has
won him the sobriquct OF Boodler's
Friend, representing it In the eounsels
Of the nation.

ing glass by rolling which Is said to be
superior In every respect to that made

expected from the discovery.
Edward Eggleston in hts interesting

speaking, the training in the art Of meet
ing emergencies. the intimate know ledge
OF human life In Its rudimentary condi

ing As the art OF scanning Virgil, the
list Of ships In Homer, or Caesars method
of building a military bridgeg' And

original novelist aud deep student Is not
about right. and that the world has been
made the better for his early devotion to
these lessons and the discipline they
gave.
Mr.. Gladstone tells the Scotch people
that In his opinion whenever they ask
for home rule they will get It. The time
will undoubtedly come 10 the near
future where there will be three por-
tons to Great Britain resembling the
states Of the American Union In that
each will have Home rule. These will
be England. Ireland and Scotland. It
is hardly probable that Wales will come
In Immediately a. fourth state,
although Il may eventually. when this
comes about 1t will be an opening wedge
and the good work will extend to all
parts Of the British empire. England
has learned many valuable lessons from
the United States, but among tAem all
there viii be no more Important one
than that Of local -goveruneae when
once she has thoroughly mastered ii.
