Many people feel for the Armenians,
but only the Turks are reaching for them.
No senatorial speeches were made yester-
day TO be read to-day. This is blue
Monday.
Already the great mass of the people are
getting into line for high tariff and free
coinage.
Instead of passing the emergency bills
the Senators seem resolved to let the
emergency pass.
Let us hold together until the funding
bill is defeated and then we can discuss
what to do next.
Since Kruger sent jameson to England
to be tried he ought to give Hammond a
trial IN California.
All parts of the interior are humming
with preparations OF coming festivals and
everybody is busy.
The Democratic Presidential campaign
has begun to open up and looks more ike
chestnut burr than ever.
hn
Will result in far-reaehing reform if it re-
peals the monopoly charter.
If Eastern people are able to see any
thing at all through the binding snow
storms they ought TO see that California
Is the place to live.
The proposal of Senator CuIlom to Dor
row 100000 to provide coast defenses
would be more ike a popular loan than
Cleveland's attempt at it.
With deficit in the revenues Cleve-
lands attempt to keep up the gold reserve
is like trying to keep a barrel filled with
water while the bung is open.
The silver men and the Populists will
make very good side shows at st. Louis,
but everybody will go into the big tent
where the Repu blican band plays.
1t is said that Morrison OF Illinois is the
only man in the Democratic Presidential
nomination, and he is suspected of wish
ing it mainly for the advertising there is
in 1t.
Some of the supporters of the railroad
monopoly are silent because they are
afraid of public opinion, but most of them
are so because they are ashamed of them
selves.
The third term proposition is not a
movement by any means. 1t is only an
obstruction in the Democratic road that

movement.
1t has been noted in Chicago that on the
day it was decided to hold the Democratic
Convention there the temperature began

found that her recent increase of prestige
has been accompanied by 20 per cent
increase of taxation.
Business men should be liberal in their
subscriptions to the State development
committee fund, as it is doing practical
and effective work in bringing a thrifty

According to Willett & Gray's statistical
review the consumption of sugar in the
United States was about 81, 900 tons less in
1885 than in the previous year. It was
cheaper than it had been, but Democratic
times had made the people too poor to buy
1t even at the reduced price.
The m emorial to Congress on the fund

importation of Oriental goods that COM
