Bright Paragraphs Captured BY Our
Scissors.
Nobody has yet accused Editor Pat
terson of q design to dramatize the Mil
lington case.-Sunday Opinion.
The Senatorial contest in Florida is be-
ing prolonged much after the manner of
the recent one in Illinois; and it is likely
to end in the same foolish and diseredi-
table way.-Er.
Mr.. Cleveland's courage on the tariff
question defeated him for the Presidency
in 1888, and his cowardice on the silver
question is likely to beat him for th6
in 1892.-Er.
Secretary Proctor will probably resign,
and the question of q successor for the
War Department is troubling the Ad-
We would suggest MISS
Phoebe Couzins of Worlds Fair fame
Colorado Sun.
A juryman at Dallas, Texas, was re-
Gently fined 5000 for stepping into q sa-
loon and taking drink Of water. And
the pertinent suggestion is offered that
he doubtless committed the serious mis-
take of not asking the Judge and Sheriff
to go with him.-ET.
San Domingo, too, is to enter into re-
ciprocal trade relations with the United
States. 1t begins now to look as if the
great Republican aspiration for continen-
tai free trade will be much more than
half realized by the time the balloting for

In theory Australia, under its new
Constitution, is still dependency OF
ally independent. John Bull would not
have granted any such liberties to his
colonies eleven or twelve dec
ades ago; but John has been taught to
view matters of this sort differently
since then.-E1.
The McHale anti-tights bill was de-
feated in the Minnesota Legislature, and
probably there is rejoicing in the front
row. 1t was bad enough to deprive Min
nesota bald heads of their hair, but to
take from them the theatrical privileges
usually accorded to the unhaired frater-
nifty was pushing persecution too far
Toledo Commercial.
The Bellamy colony in California has
not panned out well, and the colonists
are aLooking Backward" on what ap-
pears to have been swindle OF consider
able dimensions. Level-headed people
investigate such Utopian schemes before
embarking on them, but the Bellamy
colonists seem to have neglected this
precaution.-R Rochester Herald.
A Las Vegas paper, alluding to the
prospect of better mail facilities between
that city and Denver, says: "As it is
now, we get the Denver, Kansas City
though Denver is 80 much the nearest
of the cities mentioned" The delay of
the Denver mails is certainly bad
enough. But think Of the infections
which accompany them when they are
received.-Er.
The healthy financial condition of this
country at the time the Barring Brothers
went down was amply demonstrated by
subsequent events. The people have re-
allied this and reaction has set in.
Money is again coming out Of the stock
ings. Capitalists have grown tired of
boarding it. Their confidence being now
restored, they are ready to resume oper-
ations, and it is very probable that this
summer will witness an extraordinary
stimulation of business in all lines The
money is in the country. The banks are
full OF it.-Memphis Appedl-Avdianche.

Slight indications of disposition to
hedge little on the silver question may
be detected in recent alleged utterances
of Mr.. Cleveland. He admits that he
was mistaken in forecasting the effect Of
the two-million- per month bill, and equal
ly SO in the case of the "a 100000 act The
country is big one and is getting big
ger, he says; what looks like a suicidal
policy now may be desirable statesman
ship two or three years hence-even free
coinage of silver. Perhaps Mr.. Cleve-
land has become convinced that he can
not prevent the world from moving and
has finally concluded to move with it.
Pueblo Opinion.
The general outlook throughout the
country is very promising for season OF
much activity and prosperity. All the
indications are favorable, and signs are
not wanting that we are about to enter
upon a period of very decided enhance
ment in values. With iron production
reduced below consumption, with ad-
vancing prices for grain, and the best
prospect known for some years for large
wheat crop and enormous fruit crops, es-
pecially of peaches; with nearly all lines
of manufactures running to full capacity
and yielding fair profits, the outlook ia
more than usually favorable.-Bditimore
Manufdcturer's Record.

So long as foreign nations continue to
send to this country not simply many Of
their worthy and acceptable people, but
the scum and scourings of their jails,
aims houses and lunatic asylums, we
shall be likely to have more or less
trouble like that in New Orleans and
Morewood. The American government
and people are not altogether blameless
| in this matter. A few years ago Congress
passed radical exclusion act against
the Chinese, and while there has been
some grumbling over that measure
among philanthropists and theorists, it
is PROFESSIONALLY generally acceptable
to the masses OF our people. The Chi
nese are neither needed or wanted in
this country. But they are much more
acceptable, much less turbulent and OBJ
noxious than large classes of immigrants
that have been pouring into America
from some portions of Europe during the
