To Divide New York.
While sizzling hot over the result of
the recent election in New York Hugh
Mclaughlin, Democratic boss Of Kings
county, proposed to divide New York.
It won't work, Hugh. 1t won't work.
Mclaughlin insists that he is in
thorough earnest in suggesting that
New York be divided into two states.
''Why not?" says he There's money
enough and land enough for four, but
two will do. The farmers Of New York
demand the right to govern the state,
while the people Of New York city
pay the taxes. II we split the state
In two every one would be satisfied.
Let one of them be established above
Albany, and the other below it. Each
commonwealth could then govern it.
self according to its own IDEAS"
It won't do, Hugh. It will not do.
The fathers may have done wrong to
compromise on the theory of repre-
sentation in house and senate; but they
did compromise, and their compromise
will stand, never fear Without it there
would have been no constitution and
no Union.
Missouri Grit.
At Laddonia. Audrain county, NO., the
ladies of church did not have money
enough to buy chairs for their edifice.
One of them was bewailing that fact
to her husband, substantial farmer,
who jokingly said. "Oh. I'll give the
churchwomen load Of corn If they
will gather and haul it." and thought
no more about it till they appeared
on the scene with a wagon, gathered
the corn, thirty-eight bushels took it to
town and sold it at auction. The corn
merchants were so delighted at the ex-
hibition Of female Missouri grit that
they ran the corn up to GO cents

Out in Colorado candidates for the
United States senate are springing up
MS simultaneously as toadstools in a
damp cellar, and they are about as val

are rich. One of the peculiarities OF
Colorado politics is that generally the
Centennial State sends rich men to tho

goes without saying that if the Demo

4 fine and altogether apprecia-

their presence Al the opera house
last Friday night, and were enter
tanned beyond anticipation. Under
direction Of Miss Annie Lowe
Jonas, an elocutionist OF charming
grace and versatile attainment, the
young ladies and young gentlemen
Of our city presented the beautiful
drama, THE Little Minister" a
play that possesses many attractive
features and has won great popu-
larity wherever it has appeared on
the boards in the recent past. The
leading roles were superbly carried
by Miss Jonas and Mr. Houston
Wood. The other actors who de
serve encomium for faultless inn
presentations comprise n list too
lengthy for individual mention and
are given as they appeared on the
programme OF the evening:

Throughout the rendition Of the
play there was remarkable absence
of confusion, INDIGESTION and lack
of ease that almost inevitably and
invariably intrude their presence
when an amateur combination es-
says TO give expression to picture
of romance or realism TO a dream
of social life. Whether this was
due to training by the talented di-
rectress or to conception and ma
tive genius of the players, is per
haps immaterial, but high com
pliment is involved that may be
appropriated by any and all of the
participants, for their perform
ances were of equal excellence. and
passed without hitch or friction,
with natural ease of pose and per
feet huency Of articulation and
gesture.
The excellence of the stage set
tings and scenery reflected the
taste of Mrs. Sidney Jonas as stage
manager, while rs musical director
Miss Anne Mcfarland enlivened
the evening with inspiring airs at
frequent intervals.
The proceeds, a handsome purse,
went as a benefit to the local camp
