IT costs good deal OF money to sit
in the United States senate at times.
II Calvin S. Brice ever secures seat
in that body, 1t will have to cost him
large fortune. No one knows just
how much he paid the democratic
senator's OF the Ohio legislature for
his but everybody knows that he had
to prepare big barrel for that pur-
p: &c. Now the tax-gatherers are af-
ter him and he must prepare to bleed
again. Before Mr.. Brice concluded
to invest in senatorship he had Civ
en- up his residence in Ohio, and there
fore refused to pay taxes there. Now,
in order to make good his citizenship
there, he is obliged TO pay up his back
taxes, and the latest estimate is that
he is $75, 900 in arrears. Before he
gets through with this case Colonel
Brice is apt to wish that he had never
set out to corrupt the legislators OF

THE BIG CASE DECIDED

On Friday last Judge Hoge de-
cided the case Of Cam VS.. Cam, ct
al, removed here from Morgan Co.,
and which has been pending since
1888. The claim was made on due
bill for $4,000 said to have been
found in a memoranda book of
Jacob Cam, deceased, the plaintiff
being his administrator. The de-
fence was on several grounds, the
principal of which was that the al
legged due bill was not of any virtue
or force by reason of non delivery.
Judge Hoge after full consideration
ofthe case took this view and decided
for the defendants, rendering how
ever leave to plaintiff to amend his
bill or have the relief prayed for re-
fused. Plaintiffs counsel asked
leave to amend the bill and so the
case stands.

know, as everybody else does, that
you would be unable to get out a
paper if the Statesman did not pre-
coed you.-StdteSmdn.
The sublimity of your cheek en-
titles you to precedence. On that
we score you one. But our inability
to get out paper, coming from such
able minds, with all the ponderosity
Of thought with which it must have
evolved, furnishes the public with
fair attractions OF the colossal pre-
pondance of the Statesman'S gush or
mush. Pardon us for saying, We
mighty greatnesses, that we got out
a paper when ye were in Swaddlins
clothes, and now, while you are teeth
ing, be careful not to bite off more
than you can fairly chew.

POLITICAL CONVENTIONS.

The Republican National Commit
tee, in session in Washington for
several days, adjourned on Tuesday
last. They issued a final call for a
National Convention to meet at
Minneapolis, Minnesota on the I tn
day of June, 1892. The Democrats
of Minneapolis have already gone to
work, to secure if possible the Dem
oeratic National Convention in
their city. This will be determined
by the National Democratic Commit.
tee in Washington on January 8 1892.
The great Northwest seems to be
IN the field for both honors and prof
its and therefore has captured one
with fair chances to get both nation
al conventions. They have the grit
to make the demand, the energy to
make every body welcome. They
are in to win and they succeed.

The Baptist Entertainment.

A large and elite audience greeted
the presentation of the program of
the Baptist entertainment at the
Martin Street Opera House, last
Thursday night, and enjoyed it, too.
The "Cooper's Chorus" from Boo
caccio, with solo by Prof. Broken
shire, and splendid chorus of male
voices, was very well received. The
Tamborine Drill, by sixteen pretty
ladies, was superior to anything Of
the kind ever presented in this city.
Likewise the chorus from the .'Pearl
of Pekin,n 1.-THE Chin Chin Girls. -
A charming feature OF the evening
was the solo of Miss Kelley of Hag-
erstown, whose rich, soft voice pleas
ed everyone. Tennyson's "Dream
of Fair Women" read by Mrs. L. M.
Hoke, with presentations by Misses
Kelly, Wisner, Colston, and Flick,
was nicely rendered. The tableau
in this scene was very pretty indeed.
The principal portion OF the program
was the rich and humorous farce les
on parle Francias-( French spoken
here). Mr.. Hunter, as the landlord,
vas decided success. and exhibited
unlocked for dramatic ability. Mrs.
Flick as his wife, seemed as natural
and dignified as you please. Mr.. L.
Dew. Gerhardt took the part of q
young Frenchman, courteous, love-
sick and brave, and his makeup hid
bis indentity even from his most in
innate friends. He is very talented
on the stage. Mr.. Purdy in the
character of a retired military man
and jealous husband, smashed up
thing in general and certainly rend.
cred his part satisfactorily. Miss
Lorena Flick as his wife sustained
her reputation for composure, cor
rectness and tact. Indeed she is al.
ways excellent in such things. Miss
Sue Colston, graceful and quite at
ease, acted the part Of a pretty sweet
heart to perfection, while Mrs. N.
W. Linch, as the servant girl, car
ried the audience by storm. She
was very much admired. The en-
tire program was entertaining and
numerous encores were responded to.
Miss Bessie Houseworth presided at
the piano and Mr.. U. S. G. Pitzer
announced the program.
