John p. Mudd is the euphonious name
of the man at the head of the re-organ-
lied Democratic party in Missouri. That
will also be the common appellation ap-
piled to the party as whole next No
vember.
1t is thoroughly characteristic of Car
Cleveland that he should take the largest
possible limit of time to consider the
Bland bill and guard against giving the
least hint of his intentions, so as to keep
the country in suspense as long as he
can.
The United States doesn't seem to
have monopoly of the McKanes. Two
members of the Newfoundland parlia-
ment have been expelled and petitions
a charge of procuring their election by
corrupt methods.

In what devious ways the proverbial
perversity of things manifests itself.
For instance, if the really intelligent and
enthusiastic searchers for the north pole
could be induced to put their talents to
some better use, and if Coxey's army
would only become imbued with an un-
controllable desire to discover that mys-
tic bourne, how much more fitting and
satisfactory such an arrangement would
seem.
A Kansas farmer has sent the follow
ing postal card communication to New
England paper: "You will please stop
my paper when my time expires, as
can't afford to sell my farm produce at
free-trade prices and take paper. !

sketch OF our junior senator, as he ap-
pears to critical observer: GAS rigid
as New England virtue is Senator Red
field Proctor of Vermont. He has re-
pressed his emotions until his face seems
wooden, but when you look straight into
his eyes and see the force in their cold
depths, you know that he is man who can
be very angry if he cannot be gay. Tall
and thin, with carefully brushed coat
and ministerial black necktie, with beard
well trimmed and far-a-way look in his
eye, he does not impress one as man
likely to be slapped on the back and in
vited to take drink"
An exchange concludes dissertation
on grumblers with this soulful plant:
IF the grumblers and GROWERS in any
community could only be quartered some
where all by themselves, isolated from
all other society, and compelled to dwell
together in unrest, what a precious COM
fort it would be? How much brighter
would be the sunshine, how much fairer
the skies, how much purer the air in
any village, town or city in all the land,
if only the mental and moral sickness Of
grumbling could be treated like the small
pox, and it's patients quarantined for the
common health and well-being Of So
ciety." Amen and amen. But why
not put in the gossips and talebearers
and make the picture Of happiness COM
plete.
The annual convention of the National
Republican league will be held at Den
yer June 26 and continue several days.
The date had originally been set for
May, but Denver people desired that it
be postponed until the latter part of
June in order that it might conclude its
session about the Fourth of July, to al
low the delegates to j9in in monster
celebration of the nations birthday.
Among other things the official call de-
clares The hallucinations of 1892 are
over, facts have upset theories, and the
people are weary of this tariff-tinkering,
bond-issuing, debt-increasing, treasury
depicting, business-paralyzing, wage-re-
ducing. queen-restoring and un-Ameri-
can administration, and now turn in

nation in her previous hour of peril and
demonstrated ability in giving the
