The business of receivers is good
in these "Cleveland times"
CHINA's national hymn is so long
that people take half day to lis
ten to it.
The Princess of Wales is said to
have been made completely deaf
by the grip.
The soup house is the only plant
that grows fastest in the shadow
of free trade.
THE Galveston News has noticed
that the faro dealer admits raw
material free.
ACCORDING to Secretary J. Sterl-
ing Morton. 100000 people live
on 100000 farms in the United
States.
The newspapers report that the
hard times have increased the
number of hotel beats all over the
country.
WITH the exception of the i'm
porters, the passage of the Wilson
bill will make every man in the
country poorer.
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND and Sec
retary Gresham have gone for
ducks, and the industries of the
country are going to the dogs.
ORGANIZED labor in many parts
of the country is petitioning con-
gress to defeat the free trade crime
proposed by the starvation wages
tariff bill.
THE New York Press thinks
there is one good thing about the
new tariff bill. 1t will keep the

GEN. HORACE PORTER might be
accused of carrying a joke a little
too far when he said that the early
New Englander crossed his honey
bees with lightning bugs 80 that
they could see to work nights.
IT is necessary, in order to edu-
cate some people, to give them an
object lesson. The object lesson
the past year has made protection
lists out of a good many that never
saw it IN that light before. The
tariff question is now being stud
led and the American people are
understanding the principle of
protection more thoroughly than
they ever did.
CARNEGIE has made a magnifi-
cent offer to the city of Pittsburg.
He will give $4,000 a day for two
months to put deserving men to
work. This means gift of nearly
100000, the only condition being
that Pittsburg raise a like sum.
AS the smoky city raised that
amount at bazar during the war,
the ability to perform the feat has
been demonstrated; and probably
the poor of Pittsburg will be the
better off for over half a million
contributed by her generous citi-
Zens.
BRARsTREET's mercantile agency
has made inquiries from its own
representatives, and reports from
119 cities throughout the country

time numbering more than SO1,-
900, and that there are dependent
for support upon these idle en-
ployes of industrial and other es-
tablishments more than 1856, 900
persons. And mores than three
years of Grover yet to come.
The democrats had a hard time
to keep Gen. Daniel E. Sickles
from deserting the party in 1892,
and now they find the old veteran
is after their scalps once more. |
He parts company with the party |
on the pension question and stands |
bravely by his old comrades in
arms. It will be remembered that |
be made a couple of speeches just |
after the Chicago convention in
1892, in which he scored Cleve
and severely. To keep HIM in
line they nominated him for con-
yress in one of the New York city
districts. Now he is in position
