MONDAY Sugar Trust stock jumped
from 1881 to 1876 on the strength of
news from Washington. Oh, the Su-
car Trust is in the house of its friends.

WHEN a Republican Senator him
self says that the Dingley tariff bill is
the worst piece of legislation ever
passed by Congress, what must it really
be.
THE Democrats have one thing to be
thankful for-they are not responsible
for the worst bill that has ever passed
Congress, namely, the Dingley tariff
bill.

IT is said that since President Nc
Kinley's Inauguration nineteen rail
roads have passed into the hands OF
receivers. This is a pretty fair sample
Of the prosperity We are getting.

THE Republicans are a little shy Of
claiming the big wheat crop as re-
suit of McKinley's election, but its
about the only ray of light so far and
tbav hate not 10 oct the benefit of it.

We are authoritatively informed
that Just as soon as the Hon. George
NJ. Bowers is made L. S. Fish Com
missioner he intends to have the
Opequon stocked with canned salmon.
JUDGE GoFF has stated that he will
not be candidate for the United
States Senate from West Virginia to
succeed Senator Faulkner. Judge
Golf was never one to take what he
couldn't get.
g. SENATOR Quay has announced HIM
self as a candidate for reelection to
the United States Senate from Penn
sylvania. He will probably be elected,
for Pennsylvania seems to prefer poll
ticians to statesmen.

THE tariff bill has passed both houses
of Congress and is now in conference
committee. There is decided differ
ence of opinion on many of its proyis-
ions, but these will soon be settled
without disaster to the trusts.
THE Democrats of Kentucky who
bolted the ticket last fall are holding
conventions this week, and it is likely
that they will fuse with the Republi-
cans. y very precious pair are lead
ing the movement, John G.. Carlisle
and W. C. P. Breckenridge.
THE great strike of coal miners in
Pennsylvania and Ohio is still unset
tied. Strenuous efforts are being made
to have the West Virginia miners go
out on strike, but they are making SO
much money by the extra demand for
coal from this State that they refuse
to quit.
Mr.. CLEVELAND has recently writ
ten letter in which he advises the
Democrats who bolted last fall to con-
tinue to kick. In the name Of all that
is decent, why doesn't this old party
wrecker keep quiet. He surely ought
to be satisfied with the damage he has
caused to the Democracy.
In the Senate the other day Senator
White said that when the tariff bill
was passed all the trustsin the country
ought to give a receipt in full to the
chairman of the National Republican
Committee. Mark Hanna was pres
ent, and by his silence probably gave
consent. But they do say his face got
very red.
THERE is more trouble in Europe.
The powers want Turkey. to settle the
Grecian difficulty as they desire, but
Turkey declines TO yield up all the
fruits of her victory. The Sultan, who
is somewhat pulled up by the easy way
in which he whipped the Greeks, is in
clined to defy the powers, and another
war is not improbable.

THERE'S a breach between Senator
Wellington and the Republican Con-
