HERR MOST

Herr Johann Most, the eminent an
archist who is willing to have every
body's blood shed but his own, has
shaken the mud of New York City from
his brogans and removed to Buffalo. in
the same state. He has also taken his
bloodthirsty newspaper with him. The
star Of Most began to wane several
years ago, when formal call from the
police authorities reduced him to the
dusty and humiliating extremity OF
hiding under the bed. Since that time.
no matter how much the Herr Most may
have howled for gore, the police have
unkindLy refused to take him in earnest.
They would not even tell him to modify
his language and speak in lower tone.
AS a natural result, Herr Most's in
huence among the Gotham anarchists
began to weaken, his subscribers began
to desert him, and finally the crisis came,
when something had to be done. Asa
result, Buffalo is now responsible fol
Herr Most
Just why that city was selected does
not appear. The Buffalo Times inter-
viewed the labor leaders, and they were
unanimous in asserting that they had no
use for him, and that they had no hand
in bringing him there. Other investi-
cations into the deep mystery threw
equally little light on the matter,
and in sheer desperation the Times
labels the sublime anarchist as one Of
the city's sic,eshows, and tells him what
he may and may not do. 1t says:
Most will be treated as joke so long
| as he remains harmless. He will be
| an addition to the gaiety of the town.
| He will be a boon to the funny men
| and the cartoonists of the newspapers.
For this reason we welcome Herr Most
| to our town. But let him beware of
becoming anything more than joke.

Good Roads

The state certainly wants good roads
and with the influence Of the mighty
army of cyclists added to the usual In
terests Of travel, 1t ought to be easy
enough to bring about the desired re-
suit. There will certainly be no objec-
tions from the taxpayers il good plan
Of general improvement is proposed so
the gentlemen of the Good Roads league
are entering on their labors with a clear
field before them, encouragement from
every quarter and opposition from none.

The state fair is not what 1t used to be.

ception of the horse racing, sort of

representative of the whole state. Still,
probably no state in the Union could ex-
eel its displays in point of diversity and
excellence, and the present fair promises
to be, as it deserves, financial success

that any intelligent person should be
guilty Of them. Our relations with Mex

prove of great benefit to both countries.
