 The appointment by President Harrison of democrat to a posi- tion on the supreme court, and that by Cleveland of republican to the most important position in his cabi- net, to use a somewhat slangy ex- precision breaks the politicians all up"
 Senator Blackburn, of Kentucky, is interview proof. A reporter at tempted, recently, to obtain an in terview from him on the Hawaiian question and this is what he re- ceived : q have an unchangeable opinion only on one thing. That is that no power between heaven and hell can extort an interview from me on any subject"
 The low price of silver Is having a paralyzing effect on this industry. The Occur de 'Alene mines in Idaho have closed on account of the low price of the white metal, while it is only q question of a short time until similar action will be followed at Aspen and Leadville, Colorado.
 The wall placed around the east side of the court house was built for the purpose Of using the enclosure for execution of condemned mur- derers. It was used for this purpose once or twice, but the re- cent experience in. the courts of the disposition of this class of crimi- nals has convinced the supervisors that it is no longer needed and they have decided to remove it.
 We are very free to admit that we do not believe that Grover Cleve- land will be guided to any great extent in making his appointments by the advice given him by a repub- lican paper, edited by a federal office holder, and we are equally certain that the advice given him by a democratic paper, edited by a man who wants ',awfully bad" to be a federal office holder, will produce as little effect on the tympanum of the presidential ear.
 The announcement made, appar- ently on authority, that Mir. Cleve- land had decided on the appoint ment of Walter e.

 A few newspapers have considera- ble to say about the San Juan placer fields, and criticise the Gable com pany for their connection with them. If the company had issued a proc lamation, after discovering these fields, inviting everybody to come and stake out a claim, and had waited until everyone else had been accommodated, they would have pleased these papers. But that is not the way business is usually done in this country and the above only followed the regular methods of doing business.
 Our contemporary seems to dis like Governor Murphy's message, judging from little innuendo pebbles which it has been throwing at it. If the message is faulty, why don't our contemporary fire brick bats at it SO that its position may be fairly un ierstood. Governor Murphy has not matters in the least, but has given a free and frank expression of opinion on all subjects and in Ian guage which cannot be misunder- stood. It is public document and as such is subject to criticism. Let the criticism be as frank and free as the message itself.
 Our contemporary does not seem to like republican authority in re- gard to Tom Farishs qualifications for governor. so we will give a little authority. 1t is taken from the Phenix Gazette. and only the very mildest from of q three column article is given. This is what it says: "Queer what fools can make of some people! Tom Parish is a shinning example. Up in the quiet recess of the mouu- tains he would have been forgotten Now he hastens here at the sum- mons of his political @eompadre' to pose as a fit subject for guberna-
