That st. Louis clergyman who
went all the way to Virginia to
proclaim that the war was not
over, has been shut in a hot box by
the Confederate veterans ever
since. He deserved his sweating
Kentucky complains that there
were more red noses than roses OBJ
servable on the first of June, but
neglects to say whether the red
proboscis was owing to over
draughts of Boreas or Bourbon.
1t is not Culberson's age that
will stand in the way of his nom-
ination to the office that he seeks,
but the simple and unadulterated
fact that he cannot corral the two
thirds necessary to nominate.
Mcbride is causing the Knights
of Labor no end of grief because
they persuaded themselves into a
divorce from Powderly in order to
marry their fortunes to him. Nc
Bride makes poor husband.
The one effectual remedy for
alcoholism is to wear the arm in
straight splint. 1t can also be
as etfectually accomplished by
wearing the mouth in a splint, but
the remedy is severe one.
The two-third rule is declared to
be the touchstone of state Democ-
racy. 1t may be Democratic, but
it is not patriotic, the American
idea being that the majority should
rule in all conventions.
Weaver would rather run for Con-
gress from an Iowa district and be
defeated than to accept a nominal
ton from a Kansas district with a
guarantee of election. Weaver al
ways was queer fish.
If that two-thirds rule is adhered
to in the State convention it may
defeat the will of the Democratic
masses for the gubernatlonal nomi-
nation and give it to third party
whom no one wants.
The Democratic politicians seem
to think that the Boston tea party
of last century was held for the
benefit of the English tea importer,
but the Revolutionary father had a
different idea.
Mexican city press, particularly
the English press, is agitating for
sufficient egress from the theatres
in case of fire to prevent holo-
caust. 1t is good advice and should
be needed.
The was-n't-loaded gun does not
go any longer in Kentucky. 1t is
a crime to point gun at any one,
empty or loaded. This law ought
to work well enough to become
universal.
So long as the spoils Of Office are
the rewards of the successful polit-
ical trickster so long is it to be &C
copied that there will be no homes
ty in political maneuvering.
The man who deals fair in poll
tics is as scarce as the man who
deals fair in faro. Two of a kind.
The CoXeys and Kelleys are hard
er upon the industrious poor than
seven year famine would be.
The gambler who deals as crook
eddy as the ward politician would

The Houston Post asks if the
instruction of John Ireland's home
county for him is to be accepted as
indicating that he will enter the
race for United States senator. In
this city it is generally understood
that Mr.. Ireland is out of politics
to stay, but he would make the
best senator that the state has had
for many a day, and better one
than it is likely to secure this in
nings.

Those wool men who find their
staple down to dead loss prices in
Tom Paschal's district are not
whooping it up for his return to
Congress as they did two years ago.
1t does make some difference whose
OK is gored. They did not find this
out two years ago, but they know
it by heart now.

The attempt to colonize Calves
ton voters in Houston is one of the
results of holding primaries in
stead of holding representative del
egate conventions. The only rem
edy will lie in making the primary
universal and then holding all
county primaries on the same day,
then there will be no colonization
as the voters in each primary dis
trict will have their own knitting
to attend to.

of an investigation on the part Of
Congress and the War depart

crookedness Of that establishment.
1t has 70 claims upon either the
good will or the leniency of the
government. 1t is bleeding the
treasury at every pore, and should
be made to do its work according
to contract at the least. 1t was
paid in the first instance a bonus
large enough to cover the machin-
cry that is necessary to do the gov
eminent work, and that bonus is
paid over again in all the subse-
went contracts, the prices for ar
NOR plate being on the same scale
as with those first plates in which
the cost of machinery was reck-
oned. That company should be re-
quired to come strictly to time.

greater fool, the man who never

Corruption in government is by
no means the popularity of popu-
lar government. 1t prevades all
of the civilized governments Of the
world and is more heard of in this
simply because the voice of the
people is always loud in denuncia-
ton of their rulers. 1t is the su-
preme privilege of every free born
American citizen to kick, particu-
Iarly at what the other party does,
and it goes without saying that
nine times out of ten the kick is
entirely uncalled for. There are
always a few who like to feather
Saeir nest on the sly, and then cry,
Thief! in order to divert attention
from themselves. AS to real dis
honesty in the public service there
is wonderfully little Of it, consider
