Oregon elects state officers June 4. Vale
Pennoyer.
Now let the Kentucky statesman pay hi!
carriage bill and retire from public gaze.
If that threatened duel comes to a heat
here's hoping it will not be fought accord
ing to the Lexington code of morals.
The New Jersey legislature passed a Law
prohibiting hazing. If the example is fol
lowed in other states the army Of college
cripples will soon be reduced.
A Missouri grand jury the
whipping post as a punishment for minoi
offenders. The report that Missouri will joir
the republican column this year is evidently
premature.
Several well known society women in New
York have organized a counter movement to
the one in favor of having the right of suf-
frage extended to women and will present TO
the constitutional convention a counter petit
ton asking that such an amendment be not
adopted. They are enjoying in advance a
taste of politics.
An O'Shaughnessy went to Maryland in
the middle of the last century, says the
London Spectator, and had twelve sons,
who altered their name to Chauncey, which
name was thus spread. This explains the
naturalness of the genial Chauncey M.
when he drops into the mello uazes of
Milesian brogue on 18th of Ireland occa-
sions.
The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette fur
nishes gratifying evidence of the effect of
new blood and brains. With the advent of
Mr.. Perry Heath came many improvements,
both in matter and form, and it now pre-
sents a most attractive appearance typo
graphically. The change provokes the fol-
owing bit of gossip from Moses p. Handy
in the Chicago Inter Ocean: Heath is a
very warm friend of President Harrison, and
was closer to the white house than almost
any other newspaper man during the life of
the Harrison administration One of his
hackers in the present enterprise is Stephen
b. Elkins, who was secretary of war under
Harrison, and is closely allied to the expires
ident in every way. Putting this and that
together, l should not be vrey much sur
prised to find that this is a Harrison in
vasion of Mckinley territory, not without
reference to the coming contest over the re-
publican nomination for the presidency. Wait
and see.'
Huge gobs of tears trickle between the
editoritl lines of the Louisville Courier
Journal nowadays. Although the guardian OF
the star-eyed goddess is making footprints
on the sands of the Pacific, listening to the
melancholy roar of the breakers at the
golden gate, and saying nothing, the staff
at home remembers a thing or two, They
recall how Henri stood a Cassablanca on
the deck of the wigwam in Chicago and
hurled defiance at the flaming hosts of
Cleveland. Animated with the spirit Of '76
QS76), his soul afame with Indignation,
his hands eagerly twitching for a grip on
Charley Jones' tariff plank! Beating back
the traitors and trimmers, he again
the deck and sought to SINCE with
burning periods the lambrequins of Don
Dickinson. He was for Hill. The imperial
B. was his ideal candidate. He un-
loaded the virtues of democracy without
it's faults, and, with him as leader, the
party banner would kiss the sunbeams of
victory. All, it was a glorious scene, a
memorable speech. With the passing Of
scant years, the ideal of Watterson
has vanished in thin air, From a politi-
cal paragon he has become a football,
kicked and cuffed by the Courier-JouTnal
Alas, the perllous banana peel is no respector
lf political ideals.
