registered pouches containing several
thousand dollars in money without any

The chooses and the MuswuInps.
There has been discovered a new
political quantity in the faction which
is supporting Mr.. Cleveland for the
Presidency. 1t is the Jibocsc. The
Jiboose (the New York Press has a pat
ent on the term) is a separatist from
the Democratic party who assume to
be q shade superior to other folks in
political virtue, and he corresponds
with the Mugwump of the Republican
party, who is noted for a like assump-
tion-or, perhaps, presumption" would
be a more suitable word. The Mug
wump and the Jiboose are OF the same
species, being so closely related that it
might be well to give them one name,
but for the convenience OF distinguish
ing the Democratic Pharisec from the
Republican Pharisee.
Mr.. Cleveland being a Jiboose him
sell, he can count upon the continued
support OF all the chooses and Mug
wumps in the raccIor the nomination,
but it remains 10 he seen whether or
not they are suflicien: i'll number to as
sure him success. There is no question
that Mr.. Clcvcland's following has di-
vided until it has very little strength to
boast OF outside OF the chooses and
AIugwumps and the coming months will
test tho strength OF that faction.
1t has been suggested, and not with
out some show OF reason, that the ex-
President, having lostthc leadership OF
the Democratic party, run as n third
candidate On a Mugwump-Jiboose
ticket. This would at once eliminate
from tho campaign OF each OF tho two
old parties an uncertain factor, and
satisfy the Mugwumps and chooses,
who would not be compelled to asso-
ciatc politically with the ommon herd,
which is not worthy to tie the shoes
OF the mugwumps and the chooses.

1t is Now Jul &C Gon:


The news OF the appointment OF Gen.
Nathan Golf to one Of the now United
States circuit iudgcships will be hailed
with pleasure by the Republicans of
West Virginia MS another evidence Of n
disposition on tho part OF the President
to recognize their just claims for consid-
Grafton at the hands Of the administra-
ton. In choosing for the'honor a man
OF such distinguished legal ability, and
Q. SO much personal popularity, not
only in his own state, but throughout
the country, tho President has acted
with the wisdom which has character
lied most Of his appointments, and has
added strength to the personnel OF the
judiciary.
While the Republicans OF West Vir-
ginia will feel honored by the elevation
OF their favorite leader to such a posi-
ton, their pleasure will DO mixed with
regret that the acceptance of the judge
ship necessarily involves the retirement
OF General Golf from active politics, in
which he has been SO long q popular,
brilliant and successful leader, and has
done SO much toward redeeming the
state from the Democracy and in the
. direction OF breaking the bond of Sec
tionalism which has held together the
so-called solid SOUTH"
They would have preferred to have
him remain in the pilot house where he
has displayed so much ability, but,
feeling that he has richly earned the
honor conferred upon him, they, in
common with all citizens OF his native
state, regardless OF party, will unite in
rendering General Golf hearty congrat-
ulations.
General Golf will make an able Judge
and reflect credit and honor upon him
self. upon his native state and on the
judicial branch OF the government, and
for this reason the appointment is an
excellent one. The ISTELLIGEScER ex-
tends to him on its own behalf, and on
behalf OF its great constituency, congrat-
ulations and best wishes for the future.

IT is strange TINT in all the great Re.

President could not find a Republican
to appoint to tho circuit judgeship.
Perhaps he did not try hard enough.
The selection OF a Democrat. for the
place was n OF the few mistakes the
President has made, and it is not i'm
probable that the Pennsylvania sena-
tors will call his attention to the fact
that a state that can give from fifty to
eighty thousand Republican majority is
deserving Of better treatment. There
is n tradition that senatorial courtesy
cuts n figure in tho matterof confirming

Besides the cacti Mrs. Gallahcr has u night
