CONGRESSMAN SHELLEY, of Pennsylvania who
has Just formally come over to the Republicans,
was one of the ablest and most ardent of the
Bryanite chieftains in 1885, He made many
speeches for Bryan in that canvass and has
spoken often since then ON the Bryanite side
in Congress. Events, however, have shown
Sibley that he was wrong, and he has got out
of his old companionship. One difference be-
tween men like Sibley and Bourbons like
BRYAN is that the Siblevs learn something from
ont of their party before election day.
| MANUFACTURERS and their employees must
have been extremely busy during the year 1889.
They increased their importations of raw ma
| terial for use in manufacturing SO per cent.
| over the busy year of 1898 and 65 per cent.
| over the last year, under the Wilson law, while
| exports of manufactures increased % per cent.
over last year and so per cent. over the last
year of the Wilson law. In view of this, it can
be seen the tariff question is no longer burn
| ing one and will be scarcely heard of this year
save as it must be modified or applied to our
new possessions.
| A BILL has been introduced in the Massa-
chusetts Senate which provides that divorce
cases shall be tried before two judges, one of
| whom shall be woman, and twelve jurors,
| six of whom shall be women. The published
| summaries of the bill do not state whether or
not it makes provision for cases Of disagree
| ment. This defect should be remedied at once,
and the bill may prove good one. Through
| it might be inaugurated the plan to make a
three fourths vote of jury render verdict in
| civil suits.
THE Houston and Texas Central Railway
has created the office of chief gardener. This
official will have charge of making and caring
for the station grounds and flower gardens at
all points along the line from Groesbeck to
Dallas, Texas. The one who first started the
idea of identifying station grounds was the
late Frank Thomson, of the Pennsylvania
Railroad He did well and the aesthetic side
of the people at large have been cultivated in
consequence. After all, corporations have

American commissioners to the Paris EXPOSE
ton, and it is said that Mrs. Potter Palmer
will also be appointed. The amendment to
the bill providing for the commissioners
forbade any compensation to such women as

RECENT EVENTS have recalled that General
Sir Redvers Butler, until this war, was on
terms of warm personal friendship with the
Kruger family, and that they were wont to
exchange cards of good wishes every Christ
mas. The friendship dated from twenty years
ago, when Butler had a regiment of Beers
under his command in the war against the
Zulus.
LAST YEAR the United States Government
spent g, 936, OSO on the education of Indian
children, and it was money well invested. AT
the same time the Indian Territory is in such
confused condition that thousands of its
children, not Indians, are growing up without
public schools.
