 Detroit Journal, Rep.
 Senator sherman is an able. wise man and a statesman of long and ripe expe- rienee. but he seems to have forgotten Jobs desire that mine adversary had written a book k'-Indianapolis Journal. From the advance sheets we are led to infer that John Shermans book contains more side swipes at both deceased and living statesmen than any former con tribution to American literature.IWash- ington Post.
 Good Government complains that MT. Cleveland has not gone far enough in the direction of civil service reform. Perhaps | not, but he has certainly gone too Tar | yielding to farcical mugwumpery.-St. | Louis Republic Dem.
 cannot vouch for the truth of the statement. but I hear that Harold Van derbi1t Miss Conseulo's younger brother, | will be dressed for the wedding like the young Dauphin was on state occaslons.- | New York Morning Journal.
 MT Foraker is landing some stinging blows on the Confederate brigadiers. while MT Jimmy Campbell is wasting his time on state issues, which seems to be rather pertinent. Ohio will drop live is- sues at any time to discuss the war, pen sions and wool.-Washington Post. Every president of the United States since Hayes received his nomination in | the city of Chicago. MT Cleveland re- ceiyed his two successful nominations in this ctiy. and fell down on his St. Louis made affair Further comment concern | ing the location of future conventions would seem to be unnecessary | Times-Herald..

 Senator Sherman has been out of pub l lie office only one day in forty years, but | that is enough to put Senator Morrill, | ahead of him. Both entered the house in | 1855. and there has been no break in the continuity of the Vermont statesman's service since. Morrill, holds the oountry's record for continuous service in congress.

 The Royal Bank of Scotland's directors are being severely criticised on account | of revelations brought about by re- | cent theft It was shown in court that | the thieving clerk, said by the manager | to be accurate and careful" and who | had been in the banks employ for six years was getting salary of Ills Sd l Iabout S2 75) a week.-Cincinnati Enqui- | Ter, Dem.
 | MT. Edward Atkinson writes in a trade mOnthlX that not teSS lHdL hNS UT SlA | thousand miles of railroad a year will have to be built to accommodate the c0untry's prospective growth in popula- ton.

 Professor Bell, the telephone inventor, | has an idea that the bicycle principle may one day be applied to the horse. Not that the horse will straddle a wheel | and thus augment his speed but the | horse will be elevated above the ground | in some manner, and that gearings and | ball gearings will multiply his speed un- | til the vehicle to which he gives motion will whirl through the air at express train speed.-Savannah News, Dem. | No Mckinley organ dares or cares to publish the fact that more than one-half | of all the wool imported during the past year is of varieties not produced in this country at all. No one of them. will pub l fish the fact just certified to by one of our consuls in France that wool growers | in that country have reduced their focks l during the past five years to fully as | large an extent as the American wool | growers Is it not time to begin to tell | the truth about wool and wooden rnanu- l factures ?-Hartford Times, Dem. The residents of the town CNew York;. | very many of whom are themselves but | sojourners, are influenced in turn by the | tastes of the strangers among them, and | there is little chance for poetry, for deli | cacy of sentiment, for refinement of ex- pression in such surroundings. It is nec- essary to make a noise, to lay on the red paint thick, to attract attention. | singer Is rated by the salary she com mands. an actress by the brilliancy of her l diamonds or the f1agrancy of her morals. l an actor by his impotence. The mere artist had better go some where else.- | Philadelphia Record. Dem.
