State Jourual: The administra
ton organs are already setting up
the CIV that there will be a surplus
in the state treasury and that there
will be no state tax levy. Well, 1t
would be rather strange if this did
not turn out to be the case in view
of the fact that the state treasury
was enriched to the amount Of a
half million dollars from the federal
treasury in May month.
The United States Supreme Court,
at the Spring term, just ended, dis
posed of6l7 cases, an unusual lily large
number. Among which may be mem
toned decisions making Pullman
cars and telegraph lines taxable by
Statef; affirming the validity of Tex
as penal code, original package law,
and final decree in the celebrated
Mira Clark Gains litigation.
THE Milwaukee telegraph does
no, think well of the Blue Book
containing a list Of the men who
have served in the senate or assem-
bly, Of the state from the day Of its
organization In the last book
issued nearly fifty pages are devoted
to that purpose. a very large
number of the men are dead, and
some Of the living are of so little
importance, that the telegraph
thinks the space could be better
utilized.

I.ia,rd tAc Wrong Girl.

There was a very distressed young
man at the Union depot last night, says
the Toronto Mail Among the passcn-
gers who passed through the barriers
for the eastern express was Il young
lady attended by dappcr young gentle
man with Il very lovcr-lillc air and the
ladys satchcl. The pair boarded the
train, and were soon cngrosscd in con-
rcrsation, So much so that when the
signal for departure was given the
young man jumped up and made for
the door without saying good-bv.
When he reached the vcstibulc he re-
;acinbcrcd his oversight and started
back to remedy it, The car was well
filled and the young man was doubtless
nervous and probably ncarsightcd, for
when he reached the section, rs he
thought, containing his beloved, he
stopped suddenly and imprinted fer
sid kiss on the lips of-somc other girl.
There was Il scream, deep ilushcs suf-
fused the checks of the right girl,
quickly followed by an indignant
frown, hurried apology from the poor
fellow and then wild rush for the
door and a tumble off the now rapidly
moving train by a very shamc-faccd
and disgruntlcd young man.
