1t is particularly annoying to Lieut.
Gov. Jones, whom Gov. Hill will not let
be toy governor even for week, To see
acting Mayor Arnold enjoying the digni-
ties and sharing the responsibilities OF the
chief magistrate of the great city OF New
York. lie marries. he hears complaints,
he writes autographs, he gives audiences,
and on Evacuation day will cap the climax
OF social distinction by reviewing the old
guard with its commandant, Major George
Washington Mclean, in full uniform, at
its head.-New York Recorder.
Why doesn't Jones apply for writ Of
quo warranto?
Baby Mckee won the big doll at the
First Regiment carnival; but, as he is now
too large to play with 1t, he can leave IL
in the White House nursery for little

The threatened war in Madagascar Is
the natural outcome of an endeavor to
take over the the sovereignty of a country
without its consent, and by the simple pro-
cess OF bargain between two European
nations. In this case, the people are
French are certain to be made to pay
all that Madagascar is worth to them
before they get it.-Journal.

This improvement in the railroad busi-
ness of the country must very soon be fol-
lowed by n similar improvement i'm its

pond" and the farmers. This is because
