SOME EDITORIAL COMMENTS.

! Chicago Record: The new bill produced
. by the senate committee is born of poll
! tics and expectancy. If it be better than
the Dinsley bill il is because a few SEN
ators of some discernment have perceived
the necessity of working n little more for
revenues and little less for exorbitant
protection.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat: The Nash
vile air-ship proves to be a hydrogen bal
loon. with a few fancy trimmings. No
real Improvement has yet been made on
the original gasbags of Montgolfier and

Gus.
Boston Herald: The latest resolution of
Spec Ser Reeds house, as to the days on
which It viii assemble. recalls the card
that a Boston lawyer. who was some
what out of practice. used TO hang on his
office door; 1t read: In Every Other
Thursday"
New York Tribune: The Westminster
Gazette gets down nearer than usual to
bedrock common sense when it intimates
that European statesmen have for several
months been furnishing the best grounds
for disbelief in the efficacy of arbitra
ton.
Detroit Tribune: No man on earth bet
ter appreciates the virtues of good bluff
than does Governor Pingree, and his
threat to keep the legislature in session
ton bills are passed comes under the
general head of an attempt to frighten
timid legislators by pretending to have
the cards.
Washington Post: Those persons who
are testing the creation of new cabi-
net places all make the mistake of for
getting the vast newspaper interests of
the country Let us have a department
of journalism presided over by some COM
petent farmer.

The farmer who raises a few pigs
for his pork barrel may count the cost
and affirm that pigs do not pay, but
where few pigs are raised they will
consume a large amount of material
that would be of no value except for
their use. When the pork barrel is
full the farmer is at least fortified for
the winter with meat, and in many
cases where no pigs are kept there is
a waste of material that could be
utilized with the aid OF at least one or
two porkers.
