Mr. w. H. Parrish Of Richmond, Va,
h redhot in favor Of anncxing Santo
Domingo for the all sufficient reason
Ito him) that company to which he
belongs recently purchased 100000
acres of red cedar lands in that God
forsaken island. Mr.. Parrish alleges
that red cedar, which is used in max
ing lead pencils, is getting very scarce,
that the numerous revolutions over
there prevent his getting out the cedar;
therefore Santo Domingo should be an
nexed. Mr.. Parrish is no doubt an
estimable gentlelnan-all virginians
are. He is not only the blue ribbon
t,jingoist of them ell, but, what is rare
in jingoists, he is perfectly honest and
candid. Annexation would put up tie
price of red cedar; consequently let US
annex!
It is rapidly coming to state CT
affairs where the man who Is not men,
toned for nomination as president or
vice president OH either Tie Demo-
cratic or Republican ticket will be con-
guished citizen. The latest gentleman
to spring into prominence by making
IN unexpected suggestion in that re-
gard is Judge Peter j. Hughes of Phila-
delphia. who places the name of Sem
ator Boies penrose before the public
0s his choice for president. The judge
probably wants postottlcc or 'sope-
thing equally good" ~Penrose should
not be ungrateful.

immature age of twenty four, defeated
the veteran Joshua Jouett for seat
in the national house and had to wait
almost year before he could be sworn
in. He was then considered a phe-
nomenon, but he never lived up to the
ance as candidate was when he ac.
copied 'sidc show nomination for
governor in order to dccoy off enough
Democratic votes to defeat William
Goebel, but de mortuis nil nisi bonum.
:, And still they come! This time it is
q boom for Marshall Field of Chicago
for the Democratic vice presidential
nomination SO that Illinois now has q
presidential candidate, James Robert
Williams, and vice presidential can
didate OF course there is no law OF
constitutional provision against taking
both president and vice president from
the same state though great many
well informed people believe there is
The provision is that no elector shall
vote for presidential and vice presi
Dental candidate both from his OWL
state.
Ex-Congressman, Ex-Governor anf
cx-Secretary Charles Foster Of Ohio
has gone to join John Sherman, who
J alleged that Foster betrayed him fol
the presidential nomination at Chicago
in order to make James A. Garfield
president, whom Sherman also accused
Of betraying him. John also accused
General Russell A. Algcr of buying hi
southern delegates away from him
Foster was one of those fortunate mel
