Tar ieavings of the Midway of the
worlds fair at Chicago are still doing
their little act in sundry bucolic parts
OF our unsophisticated land. The sa-
vannah News, noticing ex-Midway at
fractions advertised at county fairs in
Georgia and other states, declares that
such exhibitions should be excluded.
The News is quite right, says the Inter
Ocean. The Midway was betterplace
to study ethnology than ethics.

in New York as that which was
assembled in and about Cooper
Union Saturday evening TO hear
the speech of ex-Speaker Thomas

of the regular Republican organi-
cation of the city and county of
New York, and the results sur

LUCKILY for railway conductors the
average traveller keeps the seat in
which he is first found. The conductor
is by no means the infallible person that
some folks think him, and only this
habit Of the travelling public enables
him TO keep track of newcomers, Every
stranger who moves from one seat to
another thus becomes an object of sus-
picion to the conductor, and is watched
lest he be trying TO ride free. As to
the commuter, his relation to the con-
ductor Is no nearly one OF honor that Il
he chose he could swindle the company
at least once week.

April.

The first month of spring was
named April by the Romans because,
as one of them expressed it "omnia
aperit"-it opens all things. It is in
this month that nature Tin thetemper-
ate zone awakes from her icy slumber,
throws off the icy letters that have
bound her, and testities her JOY at
seeing the returning sun, by sending
forth leaves and buds, promise of flow
ers and fruit to come. And along with
the rousing of nature, man, too, shakes
off the torpor of winter, comes forth
from his hibernatian by the coal stove
the steam radiator, and starts on his
travels either for business or pleasure.
The first day of this month is known
far and wide as All FOOLS Day, but,
generally as it is thus known, the rea-
son for the appellation- is much in
doubt. Some say this was the day On
which Noah sent out the dove from
the ark for the first time, and she re,
turned, having found no rest for hel
foot-"April fooled" Others say The
name was given the day in 1864, when
the French calander was changed sc
that New Years Day came January LIST
instead of April LIST, thus leaving the
opening day of April destitute of its
former festivities 'Tooling" those
who expected holiday. But there
will be no "Aprii fooi"about a journey
on the Burlington Route, and wheth-
er you go on business or pleasure to
any principal CITY,. before you start

=. In his veto of the Bland silver bill,
President Cleveland gives very
comprehensive review of the law, and
presents very strong argument to
support his position. Among the
principal reasons for the veto is the
careless and imperfect wording
of the bill, and on this point the
message speaks out in sharp, singing
tones of rebuke when it says: "The
entire bill is most unfortunately con-
structed. Nearly every sentence
presents uncertainty and invites con-
troversy as to its meaning and intent;
the first section is especially faulty in
this respect, aud it is extremely doubt
full whether its language will permit
the consummation of its supposed
purpose" That the highest legis-
lative body of the nation should not
only receive but deserve censure fol-
slip shod composition and hazard
legislation, is humiliating to the
nation. -. .... .....

No matter how good and wise the

receive first consideration, that moment
