Another Chicago professor has broken loose, this time with the asser- ton that church hymns are doggerel. Chicago will rank up with Kansas as a freak producer the first thing she knows.
 The name of Mrs. Dora NJ. Wilson now appears as editor of the Pima Paragon, published in Graham county. John D. Wilson, her hus- band, has been the ostensible editor and proprietor of the paper, but on account of his i'll health Mrs. Wilson has been compelled to do the work.
 After all, big row in the demo- cratic party anent Mir. Bryan, may merely be the way in which Provi- dence manifests its will that the re- publicans shall not be interfered with in their colonial policy until they have carried things to such a point that even democrats cannot wreck them.
 Bent Murdock, in the Eldorado, Kansas, Republican, says: If the state legislature will appropriate ST. 900 a year, for the next five years, and will pass a protective law permitting me to name the wardens, I will fill every running stream in the state with fish. Within three years I will fur nish more tons of first class food for the people than can be furnished with ten times the expenditure in any other way-100 pounds of fish to one pound of beef or pork for the money; and l will so arrange it that the peo- pie will have the pleasure, the sport of catching the big fat fellows-and there will be millions of them to catch. A little money and a little horse sense is all that is required. Other states expend hundreds of thousands of dollars annually for the growing of fishes. Why shouldn't Kansas expend few thousand?"
 A Phenix man writes a communica- tion to the Republican complaining of the cutting down of trees in that city. He is one of those deluded mortals who have not yet discovered that the coolest place in Phenix is in the sun.
 Five men committed suicide in New York on account of the heat. For a New Yorker to commit suicide to escape from heat looks like jumping out of the frying pan into the fire.
 Columbus, Ohio, ice men are on strike.
 If the democrats of the other States have nothing better to offer the voters than the Ohio platform, the number of republican states will be materially increased in the near future.
 No single vessel ever carried more history-makers than did the transport Thomas, which left San Francisco on the 23d inst, with 560 American school teachers bound for the Philip pines.
 It would be difficult to compute the exact money cost of the July hot wave, but as it extended over almost the entire country it was necessarily enormous.
 Gov. Allen will not, it is under stood, return to Porto Rico. As gov ernor of the island he has not only made fine record for himself, but has made it easy for his successor by treating the natives so as to give them good opinion of Americans.
 Glasgow, Scotland, will try an ex- pertinent to lessen the drunkenness, which has brought the town into dis grace, by giving monopoly of the liquor business to a private corpora tion, which promises to hand over to the city all its profits in excess of f per cent and tomake saloon surround ings respectable without making them unduly tempting"
 ''Now how about your assertion about the free silver republicans be- ing bolters," is one of numerous queries propounded by our contempo: rary this morning. That was not an assertion of the Journal Miner, but a quotation from the Courier, duly credited to it.
 If our contemporary insists on con tinuing to hold a wake over that free silver corpse, in the hopes of seeing its resurrection, the Journal Miner has no objections to offer
 "Was republicanism dead when its first candidate for president was beaten? Was republicanism dead when Cleveland was elected the first time?" are two very pathetic conun- drums propounded by our contempo- rary this morning. History affords very emphatic answer to both queries, but if fuller evidence is needed, let our contemporary write to Billy Bryan, care of Commoner, Lincoln, Nebraska, and ask whether he thinks he was struck by corpse in 1896 and again in 1900. If the republican party did die on the above occasions, it has been the liveliest galvanic corpse since those dates ever wit messed.
 The Sampson-Schley case has been stirred up again by Schley announc- ing that he will bring suit against the naval historian for his report of the Santiago sea battle. Sampson was interviewed recently in Boston on the subject and said: II am glad Rear {; Admiral SchlaV has aSLad Coo-o4,,,-
