The calamity walls all como from
republicans these days; but time will
prove them to be without either
sense or reason.
| There are indications that Mr..
Cleyeland's second administration
will be quite as disappointing to his
fool-friends as was his first.
i It's odd how the organs are Dor
rowing trouble Of the future. Frsm
all indications one would think they
already had more than an excess oft
on hand.
Editor Rosewatsr, Of the Omaha
Bee, speaks from the shoulder about I
the republican thrashing He says
it was the "imhecility OF the nsm-
bsrs OF the republican committee"
Fred Douglass agrees with Sssrs-
tary Rusk in calling Mr.. Blaine .
traitor to the republican party. Az
ter all Mr.. Blaine can probably stand
this charge better than the g. o. p.
can.
The speaker Of the next house will
be sorry, If nobody else is, that
"Granny" Blair was elected to Con-
gress. Blair is good natured, well
intentioned murderer, not of men but
Of projects. He talks them to death.
Strange, isn't it,, that the news of ,
offices promised in advance by Mr..
Cleveland should be found exclu-
sively in republican papers? 1t will ;
be stranger still If single one Of
these republican guesses come true. ,
That great bargain sale of souvenir
half-dollars now being advertised by
the Worlds Fair management must
strike our foreign visitors as unique
business proceeding. Like most
things backed by Chicago brains
and enterprise, it goes, however.

Those who have the most advice
to offer concerning the legislation
of the Fifty-third Congress are not ;
half so much in favor Of seeing the
general welfare promoted az they are
in seeing something done that will h
make it fare i'll with the democratic
party. /;
Jerry Simpson is said to be the
only member elect of the next House
who made his canvass squarely on
free trade. He believes the money
for the support of the Government
should be raised on the Henry George
single tax plan, and that custom
housed should be abolished.
Our republican friends are entire
ly too anxious for the wicked demo
Gratis to send the couHtry to the
demnition bowwows, by holding an
extra session of Congress, TO abolish
protection. Tariff reform 10 coming,
brethren, but there will be nothing
SO precpitate about it A. to upset
business
The activity Of tho Civil Service
Commission in behalf of republican
federal office holders is just little
out Of place at this time. Still, if it
results in sufficiently opening the
eyes of the democrats Of the Fifty
third Congress 10 cause them to qui-
city fail to make one appropriation,
all will be forgiven.
Whitelaw Reid is certainly not
complimentary to these who voted
against him whom he says the chief
cause Of the overthrow of the repub-
licans VAS the modern tendency to-
ward socionalism," but from his
point OF visw it is socialism for any
man to refuse to fawn upon and ca
ter to the money power.
Senator German must have un-
dergone great change, If he really
told Canadian,as Montreal paper
alleges, that one of the frat acts of
the next Congress would be to take
away all ths privileges now enjoyed
by the Canadian Pacific Railway.
German isn't that sort Of man;
he never tells anybody what will be
done 3 year ahead; he has too much
sense
The time Of year 10 fast approach
ing when our farmer friends wish
they had taken more interest in the
subject of good roads than they did
during all the beautiful weather Of
months past, when the subject re-
ceiyed hardly an stom Of considsra-
ton. 1t is in the winter that the
farmers wish for better roads !; in the
summer they are good enough.
An expert mathematician has been
figuring on foot ball, which is appar
emily becoming the principal study
at most OF our colleges. He says the
energy displayed. in the average
