HIT AND MISS SHOTS.

A great business was done yesterday
by the city railway company. partIcu-
Iarly on the Grand avenue electric hne.
The traffic became so heavy during the
afternoon that TO successfully cope
with it extra cars had to be put on. A
ride to the end of the Grand avenue line
is very pleasant, and during summer
the Sunday business is certain to be
very large Yesterday the number of
family parties-workingman, wife, chill
dren and Observation-Disclosures very no
ticeable. The children appear to enjoy
the ride hugely.
Citizens on West Seventh street COM
plain bitterly at the inadequate car serv-
ice afforded them. 1T would assuredly
be to the interest of the city railway
company to accommodate this large and
growing section of the city with better
service than the one that IS now given
them. Horse cars are bad enough IN
themselves: but, when inadequate Serv-
ice is added, the citizens have legiti-
mate complaint against the company.
Yesterday afternoon and evening nearly
every passing car was crowded, numer-
Gus passengers thus being compelled to
stand. This should not be tolerated.
The street railway company should be
compelled to provide sufficient accom-
mediation for passengers.
John W. Willis is rapidly gaining for
himself an established reputation as a
first-class political orator. His speeches
during the present city campaign would
be difficult to excel for wit, humOr and
the general snap displayed in the par
ticular subject handled. Wherever MIR.
Willis has spoken he has delighted the
citizens and done excellent work for the
party and ticket whose cause he SO elo-
quently eSpouseS.
There were many inquiries made i'll
the city yesterday as to the age OF Col.
Kiefer. This desire to know the num-
Der of winters that have passed over
the gallant colonel'S head was Occa-
stoned by paragraph which appeared
in the GLOBE, wherein Col. kiefer was
quoted as referring to Thomas Jeffer-
son, the great Democratic leader, as
my friend" Col Kiefer could hardly
have meant what he said. He certainly
cannot claim friendship with Thomas
Jefferson, who, before Col. Kiefer was
thought of. had passed to that country
from which no traveller returns.
Senator Davis has at last landed an ap-
pointment which was worth fighting for,
out he yesterday could hardly feel sat
iSfed with the work he has accom-
plished for his political supporters. He
has come out sorry figure in his fight
with Senator Washburn, as is here
clearly shown:
Washburn's Piums. Davis Crumb.
Collector of customs. Z. s. Marshal.
Inland revenue col
lector.
Minister to Neither
lands
Consul to Jamaica.
Consul 10 Port Ar
thur.
Why is it that the st. Paul statesman
has been so thoroughly worsted by the
Minneapolis statesman? Can Window
really have his eve on the United States
senate, and sees his way thither through
the Minnesota legislature? If this be
so, Senator Davis may well get left in
apportionment of the Minnesota ap-
pointments, for Secretary Window and
Senator WaShburn will be better able
to work" the fgure-head which has
been placed at the head Of the national
government by the money bags of the
Republican party.
Is the Kansas City company operating
its line in the interests of the public or
solely for the benefit of the pockets Of
its stockholders? 1t would appear to
be the latter, judging from the accom-
mediation afforded passengers over its
line attending the ball games at Ath-
letic park. In these days of advance
ment, civilization, etc., cattle trucks
are not exactly the sort of things the
dear public like to travel in. They
would not be called upon to enter these
trucks when attending Il ball game had
not the Kansas City monopoly of this
special traffic. But, in its own interests,
it would be we'll for the road to provide
accommodation for travel little bet
ter than ordinary cattle trucks.
Treasurer George Symonds, of the
Newmarket, well deserved the humping
benefit given him Saturday evening.
A more genial and obliging fellow new
er breathed. He is all all round hail
fellow well-met. May his shadow never
grow less.
The Twilighters have decided, to their
own satisfaction, that honesty and pov-
erty are not twins. They might next
inform us why, according to divine
writ, it is so difficult for rich man to
enter heaven?
Prof Blake has strongly impressed
the citizens with his undoubted ability
in the. training of choirs and choral
clubs that he has now the distinguished
honor of giving a name to musical So
ciety Oh DaytOn's bluff. The Blake
Choral club" is the latest organization
established in the city.
With President Harrison and Mrs.
Harrison and 10000 schoolma' ANS in
The city next July the hotel men will
have merry time. But what if the
president does not come?
