Postmaster and Deputy

The papers last Saturday contained
the information that Congressman
Eddy has decided to recommend
Justin Berkin for the office of post
master here, Mrs. Frank E. Newell,
the present incumbent has all along
had many friends among the Re
publicans, and the announcement of
Mr.. Berkin's choice somewhat cha
grined them; but we are informed
that the matter will in due time be
settled by Mr.. Berkin, by his appoint
ing Mrs, Newell as his deputy, On
the whole this is good solution of
the difficulty as the quality of Mrs.

Horse In a Hotel Parlor.

1t is not often that horse is enter
tanned in the parlor of hotel and fed
from one of the best tables, but that
was the experience Of a Boston horse.
The animal was doing duty between
the shafts of huckster's wagon, and
had been hitched in front of hotel,
while the driver went around the COR
ner. Some practical joker released the
horse from his seTvile position and led
him up short fight of steps to the
veranda and thence through the hall to
the parlor. A watermelon was taken
from the wagon, cut up and spread ON
the table for the horse to eat. There
was great excitement when the animal
was discovered contentedly swishing
his tail and devouring the succulenk
fruit. 1t took six men to persuade the
horse to go down to the street, but all
efforts failed to find the ingenious
Joker.

COMMENT AND OPINION.

VCol. Bryan owes il to himself to

DMr. Bryan says he doesn't want Of
flee for the money there is in it. This
shows, perhaps, his disinterestedness in
trying to lower the value of it.-Judge.
rTNational issues were fairly tested
in Iowa, where there were no fractional
state issues. The increased republican
ma .ority is the true index Of the senti-
ment of the country,-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.
DCol. Bryan intends to devote some
time to organizing democratic clubs in
New England. Possibly it would be n
good idea not to leave Nebraska too
much away from the influence of his
hypnotic eye.-Washirgton Star.

GJThe Milwaukee Sentinel remarks

that Iowa and Ohio would go democratic

vThe United States now has bill

Of money supply, and does not include
ore or bullion in private hands. The
rapid increase since 1896 in our gold
supply Is in queer contrast TO the pre-
dictions made in 1896. Mr.. Altgeld, in
that year, declared that there was not
