SUNRISE SIGNALS.

The skirt dancers skirt comes high but she
must have em.-Editor Carter H. Harrison in
the Chicago Times
Senior-What do you think is the matter
with our new bookkeepers
Junior-He lives too fast. 81
Senior-That cannot be the trouble; he Is
never around on time
While deciding that the Mckinley law is
constitutional, the federal supreme court is
omniously silent ON the question whether or
no it is tax.
Jaggles-What do you think of congress.
anyhow? 8
Joggles-Just now It's decidedly woolly. 2
The combined military forces of the United
States and Mexico hare succeeded in cap
turing Garza's fatherin-law. But up to the

corps.
Il is understood that Pat Egan will be re-
called-whenever he is needed to stiffen UP
B. Harrison's second term boom.
Jason Jackson, Coon Creek: Yes, base ball
salaries promise to be high. AS species of
consolation, however ocean stea mship rates
to Europe bid fair to be correspondingly low.
The logic of events demands the nomina-
tion Of Senator PETER as presidential can
didate of the third party. He is a more rides
cent fantastic than either Donnelly or Simp
son.

failure when applied TO his sons marital
relations.
If free binding twine would be good for
those who use a great deal of twine, free
lumber would be beneficial to those who use
large quantities OF lumber. If free salt would
materially reduce taxation for those who use
salt, SO free wool would be great saving to
any one who buys clothing. 1t is idle, yes
childish, to divide and quibbie on such arti-
cles. To do so is to say, logically, that Gen.
Hancock was right and that the ques-
ton OF tariff is purely "a local
issue" The American congress is not
called to leglslate for individuals or special
Localities. but for the country at large. The
country at large is taxed to pay the salaries
of members and the running expenses of
congress- Therefore only the greatest good
for the greatest number should be sought by
congressional legislation. Whenever con-
gress turns aside to perpetrate class legisla-
ton at the expense of taxpayers il is false to
the trust reposed in it by the voters who
made it possible for them to wear swallow
| tail coats at presidential receptions.

per sound Oh Democratic issues and not
afraid to say so. incidentally the Republic
holds that personal politics should always
take back seat in presence of party princi-
| piles. This is great white truth, and the
Democratic party would do well to make a
note of it. 1t won 140 majority in the pres
entcongress on the single issue OF tariff re-
form, and now is not the lime to be led away
from that issue by the tinsel glitter of per-
| sonal ambition.

We have it on the word of Ignatius Dom
nelly that the Peoples party will carry every
Southern state except Texas. The force of
w
ever, by the fact that it is uttered by the same
man who wrote 1.-The Great Cryptogram" and
the st. Louis platform.
The Knute Nelson boom appears to be in
need of spring tonic.
If you see it in the Duluth Tribune you may
know it is original with some other paper
running neck-and-neck race with Stanford
Newels mayoraltv boom. Quicker action,
however, is likely to be secured on Mr..
Newels candidacy.
Chauncey NJ. Depew recently delivered a
post-prandial oration at the annual dinner
of the New York Press club. From this it is
judged that MIR. Depew has staggered out
from under the heavy blow of Ward Nc
Allister in excluding him from New York s
expurgated $50.
Mr.. Hotehkiss, Connecticut inventor. has
for riding on fence. If Mr. Hotchkiss eau
also, construct a culinary utensil to aid in
eating crow his twin inventions will possess
political significance.
Perhaps Jim Blaine could prevail upon .
Harrison to issue an ultimatum to Mrs. Marie
