A MAN looking for work in Ohio
said to farmer: Can you give me
work ?" The farmer said he had some
sheep to shear if he could find a man
who knew how to shear. The man
said he learned that business and con.
sidered himself an expert. He was
told to go to the barn where lie would
find shears and commence shearing.
The farmer went out to see how the
man was getting along, but to his
surprise found the shearer shearng
the sheep from the wrong end The
farmer said: "That will never do,
you told me that you understood
shearing sheep" Yes, sir, l told
you so, but since Grover Clevelands s
election and the fall in wool | have
been ashamed to look a sheep 10 the
face"

THIS is from the Washington Post,
which is not an organ of any partic.
ular kind, but likes to whack away
at anything and everything it sees
ahead of it:
There is some ground for hoping
that we have seen the last national
capalgn on the calamity issue. 1t is
reasonable to assume that both par.
ties have had enough of that, at least
for very many years to come, and
that the country will not hereafter
have to listen to the idiotic assevera.
tiOn by the Republican or the Demo.
cratic party, as the case may be, that
one-half of the people are resolutely
bent on chaos"
And pray, who were the calamity
howlers a year ago? Certainly not
the Republicans. They said let well
enough alone. The country was
prosperous, business was good, the
factories were all running, merchants
were happy, the laboriug men were
getting good wages, aud everything
serene under Republican rule. The
Democracy shouted and warned the
voters that if this condition-thi:
prosperous condition of affairs-con.
tinued the whole country would be
ruined, and blindly the voters needed
the cry and turned the Republicans
out. You have only to glance around
to see the effect of that turning down
of the Republican party. The De,
mocracy were the calamity howlers
and now they are sitting in sorrow
and brooding over the result of theil
falsifying, and calling on the Repub.
cans TO help them out of the hole
The Republican party never started
nor upheld a calamity issue.

CONGRESS will repeal the purchas.

looks probable. The country will
then be relieved of whatever danger
Turks iu the Sherman act. Whatever
depression is left will be due to the
apprehension of an assault on the

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
THE HIGHWAYS BILL.


The Commissioners, after having considered
Senate bill 1907, ITO provide permanent sys-
tenn of highways in that part Of the District Of
Columbia lying outside OF cities" which was
referred to them by the President for their ex-
animation and report whether they know Of any
reason why 1t should not receive executive APP
proval, today reported as follows:
The general purpose OF the bill is in the
public interests, and its enactment in accord
ance with the sentiment of this community.
The bill. as originally introduced, was prepared
by an eminent lawyer of the District especially
qualified by his experience in matters involving
the taking Of private land for public purposes,
and received the sanction Of the Commissioners.
The provision in section Is that one half of
the costs Of damages awarded under the bill
shall be charged to the revenues Of the District
Of Columbia seems to the Commissioners q
matter Of injustice against which they feel con-
strained to record their dissent. The relations
OF the United States to its seat Of government
furnish obvious reasons why the general gov
eminent should bear Its fair proportion of said
expense.
The Commissioners believe that the general
government should bear at least one half Of all
expenses incident to the local affairs of the Dis
trict OF Columbia, but. in view Of the import
ance Of the general project, are not prepared to
subject the Improvement it 10 designed to &C
complish to any hazard by their adverse recon-
mendation, and therefore advise that the bill
receive executive approval.

the Commissioners relative to sewerage faclli-
ties for the Home for the Incurables says that
the cesspool recommended by Capt. Lusk
would be only temporary expedi-
ent and under no circumstances should be
resorted to as means of drainage other than
into the ravine itself. as both would be y con-
slant menace to the health Of the inmates of
the institution as well as residents near by.
THE CoAcHMAN CAUGHT IT.

the Commissioners that the japanese minister
has severely reprimanded his coachman for his
