Philadelphia, Pa, we have on exhibition
at this office a sheet of Roofing Tin

postmaster at knum. in this county,
was found dead in the road in the
vicinity of his home Monday morning
He was seen alive about 10 o'clock Sun

such as could not be inflicted by falling

THE location OF the Worlds Fair on
one cite in jackson Park was supposed
to have been settled last winter, but it
seems that was a mistake. Chicago
allowed the question to rest so that work
might get started, but now that ground
is about to be broken for the Art Hall
there is little hocus-poeus under way
that may force this superb building on
the Lake Front, thus dividing the exhib-
it, OF course if this building goes, others
OF possible permanent character will
follow. It seemed strange at the time
the porcine Chicago should have allowed
any possible advantages at someone
else's expense to escape.

IT IS curious to rote comments of
state press on the Zoldoske trial. A few
are honest enough to believe the law
indicated, while the majority illustrate
the adage that little learning is a
dangerous thing. by claiming that
desperate secret poiSOner should be
turned loose on society because they
cannot distinguish between direct and
cireumstantial evidence Only the other
day women who shot down her para
monr in the presence of witnesses was
acquitted in New York, to the surprise
and disgust of all who heard the partic-
ulars, yet there we're plenty to side Rsltn
the jurors because the criminal. was
woman. Sentimental bosh should have
no place in case involving human life.

TIE address Of the democratic
editors of Kansas proclaims sound
doctrine. 1t is admirable. The cOu-
trast between a socialism or state des-
potlsm pushed to an extreme, and the
limited government OF genuine de m
ocracy is stated not only with unfear-
ing distiuctness but with elOquence.
The Iaudations of the party are due
the gentlemen who prepared the
address. Nothing could be more
accurate than the passage in the
address which reminds the alliance
people that most of their valuable
teachings are taken bodily from dem
ocracy. 1t is encouraging to see a
body of democrats, like assembled at
Topeka on the 9th, who are attach ed
to these straight doctrines of the
party, men who hold to their belief
and are not afraid of defeat, men who
long ago chose to be democrats at the
sacrifice of political advancement and
still prefer to be CONSTANT rather
than to coquet with a party of false
doctrines.

THE New York Herald has been
doing bit of excellent service for the
poor of this country by showing up a
number of the corporations organized
solely to catch the savings of the hon
est and industrious man and woman
by glittering promises Of great profits
to follow small investments in their
stock. Only a paper as wealthy and
as widely circulated as the Herald
could afford to expose these concerns,
which are often bolstered up by the
names and influence of men of prom
inence.

ONE by one the big republicans are
declining to accept the nomination of
their party for governor of New York
The meaning is plain, these gentlemen
are not ambitious of leading political
forlorn hope, nor of opening their bar
rels for nothing. New York is natur-
ally democratic state, and this year
the party is so thoroughly united that
victory is assured in advance.
