Lo, the poor Indian, is sidetracked
for the poor negro.
THERE'S never any holiday for the
trusts while the people are waiting to
be heeced.
THE good colored people are very
very good, but the bad ones seem to
be getting worse.
IF that race war between the whites
and blacks keeps up in Indiana the
State will go Democratic.
-
SENATOR SCOTT is taking no vaca-
ton this summer, but is working
hard on his Senatorial business.
IT is announced that Mark Hanna
is to retire from business. We'd rath-
er he should retire from politics.

THIS is the time Of year when a
great many people wear themselves
out trying to find rest and recreation.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT certainly
has a cinch on the presidential nOmi-
nation, but it is not because the lead
ers love him.
THE bulls and bears are still fight
ing most sayagely in Wall Street.
Woe to the poor lambs that come
between them.
THE railroads are making money at
an enormous rate Just now. High
prices, plenty to do and no competi-
ton is the secret.

IT is generally believed that there
are some rascsls higher up" in the
Postofice Department that haven't
been reached yet.
THE chances of both Mr.. Cleveland
and Mr. Bryan are greatly lessened
by the fact that both have so many
friends in the idiot class.

WHILE President Roosevelt is dig
ging clans at Oyster Bay, ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland is doing all sorts of
fishing at Buzzard's Bay.

You don't catch Booker Washing
ton in any of these colored scrapes.
And you don't catch him doing any
foolish talking about them, either.
THE dreams OF the optimists who
predicted such great benefits to the
United States from our possession OF
the Philippines are yet unfulflled.

THEY seem to be pretty slow in
starting Investigations in the depart
ments at Washington. They found
more than they wanted in the Postof-
fee Department.
JUDGE PARKER, of New York, a
Democratic presidential possibility,
has been making trip through the
South. He seems to have made a
pretty good impression.
EACH week the papers teen WIN
accounts of trightful accidents and
disasters by which hundreds are
hurled into eternity. This old earth
seems to be becoming very I'M
healthy place.
IT is announced that the deficiency
in the postofice appropriation for the
year Just ended is $4,617,203. This
gives some idea of the extravaganza
and thievery that has been going on in
this department,
IT is estimated that during the ifs
cal year just ended about 100000
immigrants came to this country
good, bad and Indifferent. We think
they are coming in little too fast for
proper assimilation.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT makes a
fine prancer in the team that draws
the government wagon, but what this
country needs is good, solid old
wheel-horse that knows how to hold
back as well as TO pull.

PROSPERITY seems to be still spread
all over the country, but it is to be
noticed that the cream is distributed
among a very limited number. Still,
