The situation is not one, of course. in
which the average Independent voter has
any great personal interest nor one over
which he can feel that keen regret which
the imperilling of ones own personal op-
portunities involves.-Journal.

quiet and cynically Indifferent except
when forced to jump by an unwary boot
which crushes his "own personal corn.

In a sense, indeed, there is no such thing
as the Cleveland faction. The ex-Presi-
dent and those Democrats who are in
political sympathy with him have for sew
eral years, until very recent day, consti-
tuted the party and while it cannot be
denied that other aud hostile elements
were in existence they have been measur-
ably dormant and comparatively harm
less. Now, however. they have become
suddenly and even fiercely aggressive.
Hill and his political sympathizers are
putting forth every effeft to end the
reign of Cleveland men and Cleveland
ideas in the party councils.-Journal.
Hark to the Mugwump's plaiptive
wall: "Once was happy but now / am
forlorn. Iused to think the Democrats
loved me but now they throw stones and
won't let me play. The Democrats are
bad, wicked boys" So they are, poor
dear, but don't cry.

things which have been advocated for killing
these germs will not do so. Ii has been thought

turkey gobbler, as he had been under the corn
house several days. and must be sick At the

had been under the house to bring the turkey
out to see what was the matter. He came out
laughing with the intelligence that the sobbler
had made nest and was setting on three eggs
The eggs were taken away and the nest broken
up. He made another nest, and when discov-

taken from the nest and several Of the egss

make ready she followed Linn and found the

as 1900, 900. The directors recommend the de-
positors to withdraw only 20 per cent of their
