not undertake to say whether it was
case of good or bad Bills.
No public protests have been made
by the male preachers because a woman
Mrs. Rebecca Mitchell-has been
elected chaplain of the Idaho legisla-
ture.
1t all depends upon the view, whether
Mr.. Cleveland's ''pocket vetoes" added
to his popularity or to his unpopular
ity.
1t is noted as a coincidence that Prof.
Wilson, who was Cleveland's Post
master General, will again become a
college man, while Prof. Wilson, who
is McKinley's Secretary of Agricul-
ture, has left a college position to enter
the cabinet.
Gen. M. B. Prentiss, of Missouri,
advances the theory that the unnatural
focking of those born and reared in
the country to the cities, is responsible
for much of the prevailing distress.
Probably the most remarkable thing
in the record of the Fifty-fourth Con
gress, now gone to join the great army
of has-beens, is that it did not author
ize the construction of q single new
public building.
There is no more contemplate crea-
ture on earth than the legislator who
cOnfesses to having sold his vote.
Congress has passed bill prohibit
ing the importation of impure tea, but
it isn't likely to be any more effective
than the bill Congress passed against
, trusts "Once upon time"
There are some things in this coun-
try of which no American is proud, and
the annual record of ten thousand HON
icides may be reckOned among them.
A line of street vehicles in Chicago
has announced its intention to discard

Allan g. oliver, the well-known
poultry fancier of Newark, has pur-
chased a new property near the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad station, that town,
where he has erected extensive build
ings to facilitate his growing business.
The main building is 4Ox6O feet, two
stories high, with a one story extension
24x15O feet. He now has sixty differ
ent varieties of water fowls. and a
large collection of pheasants. At the
recent show in Washington Mr.. Oliver
took large number of premiums.

The House passed the immigration
bill over the Presidents veto by ma
iority cOutemptuous in its size. It
shows that the popular branch recog-
nizes the strength of the demand for a
restriction on immigration. The mea-
sure did not have two-thirds majority
IN the Senate when it passed that body
and is hardly likely to get it now.
The Lodge immigration bill is certain,
however, to be enacted in the near
future.

A ten day stop over at Washington,

tickets between the East aud West, via
Baltimore & Ohio r. r. Stop-over will
also be granted on the return journey
made on round trip tickets, within the
final limit of such tickets, but not ex-
ceeding ten days. Passengers will de-
posit their tickets with the Ticket
Agent at B. & o. r. r. Station at
Washington, who will retain them
until the journey is to be resumed,
when they will bemade good for contin-
