WHO would ever think, In going
around in dog show, that the noble
animals could be natural-born sheep
thieves?
MCKINLEY charges that GRESHAM is
a Democrat. The governor assumes
that his bill is the Bible of the Repub-
iican party.
TIE most popular man in the resi-
dence districts today will be the mail
carrier; but if he is short on valentine
missIveS, he better start on new route
tomorrow.
FREDERICK JACKSON, the English
Arctic explorer who is preparing to start
out on the plan of establishing winter
Headquarters on the south coast of Franz
Josef Lame and to put in the summers
exploring northward, is undoubtedly
preparing Il fine dish of pie for polar
bears.
ALBERT L. WING, the Louisville wife
murderer, is the second i'll the history of
America to declare his determination to
plead guilty and ask to be hanged. Yes
terday morning the court, after consid-
cradle labor, persuaded him to stand
trial. The court performed strange
mission.
TIE Republicans are deeply worried
over their inability to give the credit for
GROVER CLEyELAND'S course to some
body else. TO admit that he is his own
and only counselor is to admit that he
is the greatest man in the nation and
one Of our greatest presidents.
WE ARE threatened with another
long chapter of the DEACON family
trouble. DEACON is not satisfied with
his French divorce, and has gone to
New York TO procure an American di-
vorce. Here is another grand chance
for Sioux Falls. Inform Mrs. DEACON
at once of her opportunity to head off
the old man.
AND so Mrs. CLEVELAND is to have
private secretary to enable her to keep
UP the social side of the White house.
This Is an innovation: but if Mrs.
CLEVELAND induces the ladies of the
land to fashion after her own sensible
ideas of feminine apparel, the $1,000
year the private secretary is to draw
Will be money well invested.
REPRESENTATIVE BLEECKER set the
legislative pace against crinoline, and
it is catching in several states. Repre-
sentative PEAK, of Kentucky, was the
first to follow his lead, and now Repre-
sentative SMITH, of New York, is pre-
pairing to offer a similar bill in the legis-
latuYe of that state. Meanwhile the
women are getting ready to bloom out in
hoop skirts.
PRAYER in the United States senate
has grown TO be a useless ceremony.
Yesterday morning the chaplain began
his prayer before a senator appeared,
and pronounced the concluding amen"
as the first one TO enter the chamber
stepped in. Unless the body desires to
maintain the office of chaplain as po
hticai plum, it had better abolish it and
adopt the plan of the man who pasted a
prayer in his bed chamber and said,
'Oh, Lord. them's my sentiments"
THE Canadian Tory papers are heap
ing abuse upon Prof. GOODWIN SMITH,
declaring that he should be cast out
from society and stunned as a traitor,
because he leans toward annexation
with the United States. 1t begins to
look as though these papers would be
minus subscribers soon. At the Sim
coe public meeting, a few days ago, the
vote stood 272 for annexation, for
Canadian independence, for imperial
federation, and II for the status quo.

TIE average young man who lives by
employment must mend his morals or
be ready to step out to make room for
young women. The business houses of
New York and other large cities are
employing girls as clerks, cashiers, ETC.,
In preference to young men, on the al
legged ground that their habits are bet
ter and they are generally more honest.
Of course the employers are silent on
the question of the difference in salary
paid the two sexes.
THE NATIVES SPEAK.
The native Hawaiians have sent in
their protest against the INSCRIPTIONS
conduct of the few Yankees who are
bent on running the government Of the
islands for mutual account. There is a
pathos in their appeal to be let alone
that should drive the jingoism out of any
American mind. There is in the simple
words an arraignment of the rapacity
aud merciless Indifference to the inter
ests of the native islanders which should
stir Il counter feeling Of indignation
