FRIDAY, JUNE 1a, 1890.
WE think quorum of Republicans
will be left at home at the next Con-
gressional election.
.>~~~-~~~~~-~--~-~~~~~--~ ,
THE people of this country are cali-
;ng for Grover Cleveland in 1892 with
no uncertain sound.
NATURE has found some men for
ambition and dominion and others,
for obedience and submission.
ITmay be that all the pensioners
will vote for the G.. o. Z. next fall
but not many other voters VIII.
Ir is TO be wondered il anybody
ever tries to follow the suggestions OF
the articles, How to live on Sooo
year"
Isa pair Of platform scales two
pair or one pair, the sealer OF weights
and measures charges for two pair
Is it right ?

COMING down to the facts, really
the rebel yell" is not half as discor
dant as the bray of Editor Shepard
and his ilk.

No friendship is so cordial or so de
licious as that of a girl for girl; no
hatred so intense as that of woman
for women.
IT's mighty hard matter for either
one of the Wheeling papers TO write
ANYTHING that the other one doesh
find fault with.
THERE is rule that will not WORK
both WAYS. If merchants meas
ures are larger than the test applied
il is all right, but if it is little smaller
il is all wrong.
GENERAL GARRISON. Assistant
Postmaster General, evidently intends
TO run for some Office very soon. Inc
first symptoms have developer
namely. the hardest sort OF lying
ABOUT politics in the South.
,S,,,rIrANEOUSLY with the an
nouncement that the pension money
j. running short comes the announce
ment that Commissioner Raum thinks
Of resigning. He'd better go now
than to wait and go as Tanner went
.--..----.-o~-~--~--~>--~, -.
TUX members of the County Court
had better lookout for their heads at
the next election. They complain OF
the heavy tax, but they do not THINK
of the heavy tax they have placed
upon merchants by reviving the law
about weights and measures.
SPEAKING about the Mckinley tar
iff bill last week, Senator Plumb OF
Kansas said that if it is passed 1t VIII
prevent the United States from hav-
ing any foreign commerce and Will
raise the price of nearly everything
used by the masses. This Is PLAIN
truth from very blunt Republican.
4 VAST amount of British capital
has already been invested i'll various
kinds of manufacture on this side OF
the Atlantic, and if the tin-plate III
dustrv should also be brought here, a
great step will have been accomplish
ed to word the complete industrial in
dependence of the United States.
GENERAL RAUM, the Commissioners
of Pensions, isn't quite as loud as his
predecessor, Tanner, but he gets there
inst the same. He has already allowed
this year 1000 more pensions than
were granted last year, and the pen
sion appropriation is exhausted.
There's no sign of exhaustion among
the pensioners, though.

Federal Government, for his services,
which take on the average fourteen
hours aday, salary OF $4,000 year
The counsel for the New York Board
of Excise, who is now in Europe, but,
when here, devOtes three hours
week to his work on an average, gets
$4,000 year.
THERE are very few big office
buildings being started in New York,
this year. Wall street hasn't one, nor
has lower Broadway. There was a
great rush i'm this line of building last
year. Real estate men say that it
was over-done, and that there will be
considerable hustling tenants during
the next two or three years to fill the
buildings already in existence and
about being completed.
THE republican State Senate of
New Joursey a few days ago, by
strict party vote, unseated the dem
ocratic Senator from Hudson county,
who had been returned elected by
$500 majority, and awarded the seat
to his republican competitor. In re-
