good fellow to fill the vacancy on the Su-
preme bench, as he has already shown his
ability to declare an act of Congress IN
constitutional.
AS lively discussion is going on in
New York over the question els man
more beautiful than woman?" it would
seem that dry Sundays must have bad
effect on the brain.
1t is claimed that the suburban acquisi-
tons of Chicago are about as burdensome
to that city as the colonies are to Great

every year trying to govern municipalities
fifteen miles away from the city hall.
General Coxey having made a vicious
attack on Buck KiIgore in Texas the Fort
Worth Gazette thinks it worth while to tell
the world that the place where the speech
was made was fully 200 miles from the
Kilgorean boot.

objection to the La Rue schedule on the

State for medicinal, scientific or mechan-
