nOgg'S Revolution.

Governor Hogg OF Texas has been
performing a public service again.
In Offering his prediction that rev.
olution impends, in accordance with
the prevailing fashion to which none
yields more readily than Mr.. Hogg.
the governor goes to the extent of
infinitely describing the more
palpable and noticeable effects of
the same and specifies as q distinc-
tive mark of his revolution that Chi
cago's "lofty buildings will be
spattered with the hearts, lungs and
liyers OF citizens"
This, says the Detroit Tribune. is
useful symptomatology. Nobody
Ia going astray as to Governor
Hogg's revolution, and take it to be
a Sunday school picnic or a common
veal army. Now, when the people
of Chicago wake of q morning and
find the hearts, lungs and livers OF
citizens spattered all over their
lofty buildings, they may turn to
each other in all confidence and say:
This is revolution" and proceed
about their avocations with the as
surance that it is only born OF full
understanding of surrounding con-
ditions. Travellers, too. in proceed
ing through the second city of the
land, and noticing extraneous sub
stance upon the lofty buildings
! which proves on examination to be
the hearts, lungs and livers OF
citizens, will recognize the revolu-
ton at once and insist upon the
usual excursion rates.
With Governor Hogg's distinct
specification of symptoms, there can
be no misunderstanding. The sight
OF citizens without hearts, lungs and
livers will mislead nobody. Unless
those parts are spattered on the
lofty buildings of Chicago the oc-
currence will promptly be pro-
nounced fake and treated as such.
1t is no time to inquire why the
governor insists upon hearts, lungs
and livers to the exclusion of other
useful organs, notably the stomach,
pancreas, and vermiform appendix;
why he selects the lofty buildings Of
Chicago rather than of another city,
or why the viscera Of citizens and
not OF aliens orlndians are not taxed.
The governor seems to know whereof
he speaks The only thing for the
people to do is to extend HIM their
gratitude and keep sharp lookout
for the appearances he indicates.
On New Tack to the Pie Counter.
No good can be expected from the
Populist party, for the reason that
it is made up of insists and freaks OF
all kinds who have no proper knowl-
edge Of public questions and no
ability to order public affairs.
Many OF them were chronic Office
seekers in other parties, and failing
there, entered the Populist party in
the hope OF accomplishing their am
bition. These men now seek to ride
into power with new party, but
they have been tried long enough to
show that their rejection by the old
parties was wise, and that to again
intrust them with official au thority
would be folly. Denver Repu blican.

He watched her as she looked out
across the roofs to the west. There
was look he could not fathom in the
earnest gaze of those gray eyes. He
did not like to break the spell which
seemed to be about them. The tasteful
little room in the aerially perched
apartment faded away. The interven-
ing roofs the chimneys, the clouds of
smoke between them and the snowy
line of hills beyond which the cold,
yellow light was dying disappeared.
He saw only the long line Of the hills,
the chilly winter twilight coming on
and the girls dreamy, half-pathetic
face.

apologize smile.

moved toward the glittering little tea

china until finally the chocolate and
wafies were ready and they sat to

gossipped.
