THE CALL SPEAKS FOR ALL.
Carnival days are With US.
New Orleans is having the time that we
should have.
II do not know" says Mr.. Huntington.
Il really cannot remember"
Rejoice in your pleasure while you have
it, for when it Is Lent you can't.
Now that Congress has got down to bust
ness let us hope it viii live up to it.
The only fault with the art carnival was
that it was not big enough to take in the
whole CITY.
1t begins to look as if the Coils Pelican
in seeking for suckers had caught an Ala
bama alligator.
Dr;o
sists in turning on the cathode ray where
it viii do the most good.
Il don't mind being caught" says Mr.
Huntington, "but what grinds me is that
set this trap for California"
s
The trouble with the Custom house is
that too many of its customs are scandal
Gus and pay no attention to duties.
Ii FL Paso would post herself on carni-
val ideas she would find there is more fun
in frolic than there is in prize-fght.
The Huntington lobby no longer talks
of rushing things. 1t is now fighting for
delay and calling for might or Butcher"
At Dallas, at Hot Springs and at Ell
Paso pugiIism has had its three strikes
without hitting anything and it is now ont.
In all reform movements in this town it
is cheaper TO fight than TO back out, for no
one can take water without paying high
price.
The members of the Junta call Rainey
"a white elephant but that raises two
questions: Is he an elephant? and, Is he
white?
AS a result OF being kept in the dark
about the races the fake poolrooms find
that their play is light, but still they are
not cousoled.
AS tn ere is to be no change in the water
rates for the people there will, of course,
continue to be great deal of change in
them for the company.
1t seems that not only does Huntington
know nothing about the management OF
the Central Pacific, but he has not even
q wicked partner who does.
In the French crisis the Cabinet con-
Iinues 10 hold a safe place in the middle OF
the teeter board, butthere seems to be some
danger of upsetting the President.
We have a better City, a better climate
and & population better fitted than that of
New Orleans for carnival splendors, and
we ought to get in some day and eclipse
her.
There was once Democratic party that
dissolved into Mugwump party, which
in turn became a Cuckoo party, but now
there doesn't seem to be any party there
at all.
Kentucky has a chance to do herself
proud in the performance of the double
duty of repeating the Southern Pacific
franchise and electing an anti-funding bill
Senator.
The trouble with Democratic harmony
in this City is that there is too many fell
low in the orchestra who wishes all the
rest to be silent while he shows his Pade-
rewski touch.
Now that both the Senate and the House
have arranged for an investigation of the
bond deals there is likely to be music in
the air all the way from the White House
to Wall street.
congressman 1alDerC was wrong IN say
ing the appointment of Morton as Secre-
tary of Agriculture was the worst act of
Cleveland's life, for it was not half as bad
as keeping him there.
The prospects of defeating the funding
bill are now SO good that the festivals this
year may be accounted as celebrations OF
the establishment of the commercial inde-
pendence of the State.
Senator Morgan may not have known
much about the true inwardness of the
Southern Pacific Company when he began
to cross-examine Huntington, but little by
little he is getting at it.
AT the request of Balfour Parliament
decided not to debate the Venezuelan
question and the request was right enough,
for Uncle Sam can do all the talking that
is needed on that subject
As challenge in the House that some
friend of Secretary Morton should rise to
