EDITORIAL NOTES.

but says he is a candidate for the
Senate.
| The democracy of Washington
county are unit in favor +. @.
/ Mills for the Senate.
| The post norton examination of
the would-be assassin of Russell
Sage revealed that he had a big
brain. Perhaps subnormally devel-
oped, but what matters it if his
brain was large if educated the
wrong way.
| Two eminent millionaires of New
York, Sidney Dillon and George
Gould, have put it on record that
fifty cents in the maximum amount
of wealth, they carry about with
them, and when they invite friend
to lunch he knows now what he NAV
expect.
| The introduction of American cars
in England has suggested the idea
to the Briton, according to Lon
don paper, that they are gradually
moving towards an extensive adop-
ton of the cars so larg ely used IN
this country. On nearly all the lead
ing lines the best trains have Pull
man sleeping or drawing-room cars,
and in some cases dining cars.
The agricultural department of
the Government will make an ex-
hibit of facsimile casts of all OF the
200 varieties of edible mushrooms
which grow in this country. 1t is
believed that the exhibit will be pro-
ductive of great benefit in educating
the people respecting this valuable
article of food, which is abundant
but now little utilized.
The Detroit Free Press says, the
most diabolical and insidious inven-
ton for deceivlng guileless wives is
the newly invented odorless whisky.
The variety of ways in which this
may be palmed off on trusting wo-
men as case of sunstroke, vertigo,
chills and fever, ring spawn, grip,
heaves, fits, roup, or anything de-
signing and guileful husband may
choose to call it, opens the door
wide to every blbulious benedict.
The Cherokees say that they will
cede their lands to the United States
government if the latter will pay
them two dollars per acre and then
certain concessions which in effect |
not only allows them to keep all of |
the land themselves, but also per-
mits them to sue the government on
several old claims which the Chero-
kee contend the government owes
them. This looks like a case where
the Indian is after all of the turkey. |
RECENTLY, at Texarkana, Miss
Tillio Goldberg, one of the most |
popular young ladies and leading |
belle of that city, and also noted ex-
tensively as one of the finest must
cans west of the Mississippi river,
was married to Mr.. Fred Plano, a
prominent railroad man. The bride
is Hebrew and the groom a Gen
tile and the ceremony took place be-
fore a magistrate. It is understood,
however, that the lady will embrace
the Christian faith.
A PATHETIC story comes from a
hamlet near Pine Bluff, Ark. An
aged couple quarrelled, and the wife
left home and went to the house of
her son. She appeared to be great
ly troubled over the estrangement
from her husband, and the next day
while walking in the yard brooding
over her trouble, she fell over dead.
A post norton revealed the fact
that the main artery of the heart
had been ruptured. She had liter
ally died of broken heart.
ACCORDING to the Greenville Ban
ner one of mans predominant traits
is to blame somebody else for his
own failures in life. The real estate
boomer puts the blame on the alien
land law; the improyident farmer
charges it all to the plutocrats: the
merchant who lives too high and
fails, says the credit system did
it, and so the story goes. When
men learn that success or failure de-
ponds on their own merits and exer-
tions we will all get along the bet
ter.
ACCORDING to the census, of sixty
thousand prisoners in this country,
thirteen Thousand were of foreign
birth, thous the foreign-born pop
ulation was only one-eighth of the
whole population. Yet there are
those who have the efrontery to
complain when it is proposed that
the government exercise greater Wig /
lance in seeking to ascertain the t
character of immigrants. 1t never
seems to have entered the heads of ,
certain writers that precaution is es-
sential to the welfare of the nation c
