For q man with wearled mind and
blase feeling seat IN the Arkansas
Legislature, when fists are being used
and pistols flash into view, must be a
much more heroic tonic than gallery
seat when John l.. Sullivan Is wrestling
with ms part. And it Is more profitable
by 81 day.-Philadelphia Times.
We read in a Western paper a very
pathetic tale of how the milllonaires of
New York are made prisoners by their
wealth, being obliged to carry burglar
alarms around in their vest pockets and
have q regiment OF detectives lurking
| on their footsteps to give protection.
These are very grleyous conditions
not more painful though, to other
folks. perhaps, than surprising to the
millionaires hemselves.-Journal of
Finance.
PETER, Kansas new Senator, was
among the first on the roll to draw his
salary. AS he has been editing a coun.

1t IS quite appropriate that a man
| named Silver should be mixed up with
finances. This particular Silver IS like
the man IN Mother Goose's tales who
found crooked sixpence. He's about

Washington National bank of New
York is out $525 900 through his engl-
neering. The directors of this bank do
not believe III free Silver.-Butfalo

A post-office inspector rode all Sun
day afternoon in chicken coop, sur
rounded by egg cases III a baggage car
on q Western railroad, with a view to
catching a robber of Uncle Sans mails,
and he succeeded. But great was his
surprise TO discover that the culprlt was
trusted baggagemaster whose reputa-
ton was supposed above reproach.
Hundreds OF missing sums OF money
and articles of value which have gone
astray during the last fifteen years have
been building up the fortune OF this
errIng baggagenaster. The moral of
the discovery is that Uncle Samuel
must trust the mails only to agents
within his immediate control and SUBJ
ject to his daily inspection.-New York
Journal.
The question at issue is not as to
whether the Senate had a right to de-
eide the Fridiender-Morse case as II
was decided. The real question is, did
"the senate" decide the case at ALI
Seventeen Senator's constitutional
quorum-declare under oath that they
were not present when the vote WAS
taken. Can the Supreme Court ignore
the sworn declarations of these seven
teen Senators, who really constitute the
Senate. from legal and constitutional
point of view?-yEagle.
The Bangor Wing is much worried
for fear the new Australian ballot law

thing is that it gives voters freedom to
