MT. Cleveland has not expressed any regret over Senator Hills fail ure as lecturer.
 MT. Cleveland seems to need an extraordinary amount of fishing and hunting to keep his health good.
 Congress is warming up to work in great shape. During the first week of the session 1,1S7 bills were introduced.
 If Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, carried his pitch fork to Washington, he has not yet made any use of it.
 The multiplication of republican candidates for the United States Senate in Kentucky is a good sign. 1t indicates that Blackburn's sue cessor will be a republican.
 If our democratic friends will only be patient they will in due time learn what the republican congress proposes to do, and we venture the prediction that it will be disappoint- ing to them.
 We'll, it isn't Mir. Cleveland's fault that some people expected differ ent sort of message; he never said he had changed his opinions. 1t was his know-it-all friends.
 Oakland, California, has a smart man who predicts that there is to be another deluge, like that which Noah survived, and that it will be gin Dec. 9, 1901. Wonder when he'll begin work on his arkf
 Two democratic Senators -Brice and Pasco-have said that they would vote with the republicans to amend the present tariff law to the extent necessary to raise the revenue needed by the government, and it will not be surprising if others do so.
 Anthony Hope, the English author, declines to lecture in this country, because he hasn't anything to lecture about and doesn't know how to lecture. Others have had the same reasons. but they lectured all the same.
 Even if the country was ready and willing to retire the greenbacks, it would not accept NIT. Cleveland's idea of paying about Sls,OO0,0OO a year in interest upon bonds to be issued for their redemption. Mir. Cleveland seems to have bonds on the brain.
 The republicans of South Caro- lima are objecting to the disfran- chisement proposed in the new Till man constitution in much louder tones than they have of late years used to protest against the old Butler-red-shirt shotgun method of disfranchisement. They will ask re- lief from Congress.
 The railroad statistics of the State of Pennsylvania show that only one passenger out of every 4,325,7lS carried was killed during last year, and only one out of 204,- 947 injured. but the employees were not so fortunate, as one out of every 4S2 was killed and one out of every g was injured. We have all along suspected that it was safer to be a passenger than an employee, even if one travels on a pass.
 A resolution has been introduced in Congress impesching Ambassador Bayard, on account of a recent speech in London. The resolution was adopted by a vote of 2O7 to go. In his efforts to toady to the Eng fish, MT. Bayard overstepped the bonds of decency in politics and disgusted his English hearers, not on account of the sentiment ex- pressed, but on account of the i'm Propriety of an ambassador express them at such place. In attempt ing to please his English hearers, Mr. Bsyard seems to have stopped" over.
 The political millennium is cer- tainly at hand. In recent issue of the Gazette, Thos. E. Parish, one of the most democratic democrats in the territory, a democrat from ''swsy back, l" bitter, unrelenting and uncompromising in his democracy, says: "In the next ensuing general election, the better class of citizens should assert their right to control. Politics should be ignored, and all interested in good local government, should combine on a non-psrtisan ticket. send to the legislature com potent men and to the county offices honest men, who will neither abuse nor betrsy their trust"
 4 bill has been introduced in con- gress providing for au appellate court for Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma. If congress persists in denying statehood to these terri tories, the very least it can do for the benefit of them is to pass this bill giving them an appellate court. Our supreme court, as at present constituted is supreme farce. And by this no reflection is intended on the individual members composing 1t, as none more than they realize this fact. Four men, and they are all pretty good conscientious indi- viduais foo snp,a foirl,- ,,-,ll ,.,.--g
