The daily mail at Maple Grove is prov

would be replaced by the Forum, Review

not make trial? GROVER,

GENERAL NEWS.

There is considerable long range fight
ing going on at Brazil.
Gladstone who was ill last week, has
fully recovered his health.
The Georgia legislature has declared
for state banks and free coinage.
Gov. Rich of Michigan seems to think
that Wisconsin and Illinois should con-
tribute toward the destitute of Northern
Michigan.
The people OF Hawaii are inclined to
fight before they will submit to restor-
alton of the monarchy. The people"
IN this case are the provisional government.
The insurgents in Brazil have declared
In favor OF the monarchy as it was prior
to the organization IF the republic. The
monarchy was more republican than the
republic.
The bomb incident in France has alarm
ed the United States senate, and extra
precautions are now taken to prevent
suspicious looking people from entering
the galleries of the chamber OF that body.
The Paris bomb throwing has made
anarchy quite unpopular in London. An
anarchinlst meeting in that city was re-
Gently dispersed by mob and the speak
ers wore compelled to seek refuge from
the police. 1t seems that, with all their
talk, they are not averse to appealing to
the "minions of the law" for protection.
The anarchists IN France are becoming
quite active. On Saturday last bomb
was thrown in the chamber OF deputiec.
Fortunately it exploded before reaching
the floor, thus lessening it's destructive
force. 1t was thrown from the gallery
and exploded soon after it left the hand
OF the mlscreant who threw 1t. His pur-
pose was, to have it explode near the per-
son OF the president Of the chamber OF
deputies. A large number of people were
injured, though none seriously.
The bomb thrower was captured. His
own nose was blown off by the explosion.

tempt he made while regretting it did
not prove wholly successful He Is

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has given vio-
let wrench to his reputation by the NOM
ination OF Van Allen to the Italian MIS-
sion and matters have not been material
ly improved by Van Aliens declination.
The nomination was particularly dis
agreeable in this state as it seemed to be
an approval OF appointments here for
which Cleveland was held blameless on
the supposltion that he was unacqualnt-
ed with the circumstances attending the
request that these appointments be made.
1t does seem as if men may sell their
votes as well as buy those of others and
the transaction will be 0 K'ed at Wash
