DEBORAH, IOWA, JAN. 8, 1896.
Mr.. CLEVELAND has not expressed
any regret over Senator Hills failure
as q lecturer.
A NEW bond issue Is not a very good
way to start into new year, as most
people look at it.
1T begins to look like one of the Ger.
tanties of the Congressional session II
a restoration of the duty on wool.
The hide dealers of Iowa met a,
Des Moines last Friday and organized
as the Iowa State Hide Dealers Ass0
citation.
The message Of Congress to the
President promises to be more interest.
ing than the Presidents message to
Congress.

gresham Bland, of NO., will be Drained
on the spot.
IF the Sultan of Turkey can succeed
in playing Germany against England
he can indefinitely postpone the parti.
ton of his empire.
THE multiplication of republican
candidates for the Senate in Kentucky
is good sign. Itindicates that Black.
burns successor will be a republican.
HuMPH! Senator Hill also com.
plains of having been c0ldly received.
The man who knows when to lecture
and when not to lecture Is wise indeed.
UP to date Congress has managed to
restrain its enthusiasm for the idea oi

WELL, it isn't Mr.. Cleveland's fault
that some people expected q different
sort Of message; he never said he had

knOw-it-all friends.
THERE is no doubt about the Indi-
ana eagle that tore q dog into strips
and almost licked u man, after having
been crippled by charge of shot, be-
ing genuine republican bird.
If his message represents all the
hard thinking he did while fishing in
Buzzard's Bay, Mr.. Cleveland should
lose no time in having his thinking
apparatus examined by an expert.
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
thatit will be disappointing to them.
THERE will not be 50 much demo
cratic kicking when the same old Reed
rules are applied to the House, as the
greater portion Of those rules were
adopted by the democrats of the last
House.
THERE are idiots in the South as
well as in other sections, but Gov.
Evans and Senator Tillman, Of South
Carolina, are entitled to the champion
belt, although the Governor of Georgia
was close competitor.
ANTHONY Hope, the English au-
thor, declines to lecture in this country.
because he hasn't anything to lecture
about and doesn't know how to lee
ture. Others have had the same rea.
sons, but they lectured all the same.

Two democratic senators-Brice and
Pasco-have said that they would vote
with the republicans to amend the
present tariff law to the extent neces-
sary to raise the revenue needed by
the government, and 1t will not be
surprising II others do SO.
The patrons Of the Pullman palace
cars have always been given to under
stand that persons who occupied sleep
ing apartments In them could not re.
cover for valises, clothing and other
goods lost or stolen from the cara at
night while they were asleep, but the
Supreme Court of Ohio has knocked
Duke Pullman right between the eyes,
and decided that he must pay f,r such
lost or stolen goods. Have the courts
