And the fact is one upon which tlie country is to lie congratulated. The trouble with the brother in black, espe cially those along the southern sea coast, is Unit, as a rule, there is no definite line .at, which courtship ceases and matri mony begtns. CononicssMan Randall lias a way of hitting the nail square on the head when he takes a notion. In the house the other day he made the remark that in his judgment, “there is not a laboring man in the country who wants to work who cannot secure work.” The man wiio really wants to work docs not care to wear kid gloves of a week days. The trouble is there are too many men who are just a little too partirularfor the good of their families. At Kokoma, Indiana, Ibis week, two wen named Harrell and Ouinlo,tint latter ;i Sunday school superintendent, fought about a turkey, and Cundo was killed. In these latter days it is not the festive and fierce game cock that carries the worst crowd along with him. If they had quar reled about a couple of game chickens, the chickens would have been fought to <lccido tho matter, and that would have been tho last of it. The goblor doesn’t get a lick often, but when he does it (counts one. The Baltimore Sun says that a striking instance of the reckless manner in which congress appropriates money for river and harbor improvements is afforded in the statement that the $750,000 added to tlie river and harbor bill “for continuing improvement, harbor of New York,” inis ■“not been asked for by the engineers in charge of the harbor, and it is not known that any plans for improvement requir ing such a sum have been perfected,” 1 n contrast with this are tlie niggardly amounts frequently appropriated for really important and necessary work. Parsons, tlie anarchist, says lie ate snowballs all lasl winter, but ho will just he blanked if ho docs it next wilder. As the probability is very strong that Par sons will be hung when I lie leaves begin to turn, he is about correct. lie can’t find a snowball with a search warrant in tlie country to which lie is hastening. Still it is to be presumed that Mr. Par sons will feel at home in tlie company he’ll find. The place is not unlike Chi cago in some respects, but Mr. (’arsons ■will be more appreciated in his new home. Let the jury that is trying him help him along. Tue chief of tho bureau of statistics states tlie value of brendstutf exports in tho twelve months ended .lime doth at $122,- 8011,370, against $150,451,Sill in I88I-S5. The cotton year will not encl until .Sep tember 1st, but the exports in the ten .months from September 1st to July 1st, JNS.V-Nit amounted to $ 107,854,1 (! I, against $101,S,"7,781 in 1881-85. The value of the exports of raw coltou lias been running largely ahead of the values of all kinds and classes of breadstull's exported since 1 Shi, and tlie excess is increasing, but from 1877 to 1882tlie value of broadstulf exports exceeded that of raw cotton by SliUS,024 in 1878 to $75,228,002 in 1880. Toe St. Louis Republican very rightly ii. .vs licit it win not do fur the depart ment of state to make any mistakes as to the attitude of Texas on tlie Rusures murder. Gov. Ireland’s spirited telegram to Secretary Bayard represents the senti ment of the people and it is a sentiment that cannot be trilled with. The people of Texas feol keenly the wrongs and in sults heaped on American citizenship by tiie border Mexican states. They are humiliated by tlie failure of the govern ment at Washington under former administrations to uphold tho honor of their state and all the states. They expect better tilings from this, adminis tration, and if these Mexican outrages are not suppressed, it will be necessary to suppress Texas. Nothing short of an imperative demand for tlie murderers of kHasures and for indemnity can vindicate plie honor of this government or appease tlie just indignation aroused by bis mur der. It is not an occasion for long diplo matic negot ions,but for a decided demon stration of tlie inclination and ability of the United States to protect its citizens. ; I’llKMItlXTIlL CHOIIAHIIilTIKH. 1 The probabilities and possibilities m presidential euudiduteg for 1888 are now being vigorously discussed. Within tin I pa-t two or ilnvo days, we have pttb- j lislicil interview- with some of the mod I prominent democratic leaders in regard to the denmcriilir candidate. With otu accord I’resident Cleveland seems to In | the most available man. t'onspieuon- i among the gentlemen who have tints ex pressed thein-elves are lion. Alien G Thurman and Mr. Holman, The Cin- einnali Knquirer lias been interviewing lion. ,1. W. Book waiter, of Ohio, who seems to entertain a similar opinion. Jn response to the question as to whom the democrats of Ohio are grooming for n presidential candidate, Mr. Bookwultcr says “Well, President Cleveland, within the post mouth or so 1ms gained in tho esteem of the people to u wonderful degree. I never saw any thing like it. The democrats ad mire his way of examining careAilly every bill that comes up for his signature. It shows he* wants to do his duty and knows what he is about. It indicates, too, that he has a great deal of stamina, and is not easily changed from whnt lie conceives to be rigl t. These qualities have undoubtedly done a great deal to advance ids popularity with the non-political class of voters. Of course, the regular politicians who have failed to get office still continue to howl against the administration. Yes, I think Mr. Cleveland will doubtless be our next candidate and Mr. Blaine that of the republicans. The Blaine feeling is strong ' in the west among tho republicans. Ohio has the purest class, the racst original and unique type of the republican in the United States. 'I hey are always enthusiastic, and never go back on their purty. For a time, duiing off’ years, they have been known to dally with the prohibition pany, but just as soon as a national election came off they rallied to the old republi can standard, true as steel. Scratch an Ohio re publican and you won’t find a mugwump or pro hibitionist in disguise, but the genuine article. Our slate is republican and 1ms always been so since that patty came into power. Well, thl*sc old, stanch republicans intend to put Mr. Blaine up again and show tlie mugwumps that they have confidence in him. Some malign influence seemed to act against Mr. Blaine juHt before the election day in 1884. These republicans argue that the same influence cannot work again, and flint they will succeed.” In lvjjriml to it want of enthusiasm niuontrlhe tlem<x*mt,s,Mr. J look waiter jroes on to sav: “What my party lacks is an issue. We cannot enthuse or cohere without some rallying cry. We are split up on the tariff’question. I say we had better come out boldly for tariff 1 reform, and stick to it as an issue. The eountiy is jusl beginning to enter into a dull period. Great business d* pression will follow in a few years. We are suf fering fVom iiu overproduction. The tariff should be relegated to reDeve the pressure. It, and noth ing else, will cause prosperity to follow. Trie democrats should do this, but they are divided at present.” The trouble, so far as n split on the tariff question is concerned, is no greater in the democratic party than among tlie republicans. There arc as many repub licans who believed that there should be a reform in tlie iniquitous war tariff as there are democrats who would sustain it for tlie prestige it gives them in manu facturing districts, whore monopolies are esteemed a great blessing as the road to wealth. The only thing that can possi bly cause tlie democratic party to suffer is the want of an issue that will hold democrats down to democratic principles. There should lie no slabbing off with the republicans. m.VKPAMl’S CANIUIUCY. A Washington special to the New York World Bays that “tlie president is a can didate for another term. Of that there can he no doubt. There are times, how ever, when he becomes very much dis satisfied and displays much temper. One of Iiis cullers the other morning found him in a had humor over some action of congress which was contrary to his ideas. Tlie president swore in a good old-fash ioned style and blessed congress with great heartiness and energy. He said then, in his temper, that lie was sick of tin 1 whole thing and wished lie was hack in Albany. It is-only occasionally that lie expresses himself as dissatisfied with his present situation, and, of course, his expressions of dissatisfaction are to he taken in a Pickwickian sense. The president is not only n candidate for a second term, hut lie is beginning to take steps to strengthen himself for 1888. He has givtn more attention to the south than to any other section of tlie country, believing that if he goes into the nation al convention with the south solid hack of him he, with that and tlie power of his administration, will be able to force his renoniinatioii. At least that is his idea. There is less dissatisfaction in the south with the president than there is in any other part of the country, lie is do ing mure and more every day to please the southern people. The senators and members in the southern states have a great deal more influence in controlling the patronage of their states than have the democratic senators and members from tlie states of the north. It is very rarely that you hear of any complaint among the southern members. Within the lasl two or three months has been heard a great deal of praise, that kind of praise and admiration which only come from statesmen who have been well treated.” A CoxiiRKOATioNAL clergyman living in a town of 5000 inhabitants in the state of Maine writes to tlie Boston Record that “there are on one street within one minute’s walk of each other, and as near the station, three grogshops, and I sus pect four others, two hotels and four drug stores where liquor is sold by the glass ;” that “it is no unusual thing to see men staggering drunk on the streets, and on public occasions the sale of liquor is increased.” This is a had showing for Maine and is a severe reflection upon “tlie town of 5000 inhabitants.” It is no reflection upon prohibition nor the law.-. Whenever public sentiment sustains pn > hibition, or the laws of a state, such laws will lie carried out to the letter. Murder is a crime punishable by death, yet the laws* which hang a murderer do not stay the murderous hand, it is only when a majority of tlie people are disposed to ride rough-shod over tin law that il is inadequate. Prohibition is not responsible for lawlessness in Maine. A PATENT THAI’ FOB TAPEWOHMM. A gentleman at heading, who lately retu ned from a visit to Washington, speaks of many curi ous things he saw in the patent olHee. Two tf them, he- says, are particularly worthy of note. The first Ib a aniall, hollow cone of gold.soupc,. like a capsule, at the bottom of which is a Hlh'e from which projects s( melliing in the nature of a flsli-hook, nt the top is an eye, to v h'cli is fasten ed a silken cord. It Is imended ns a trap for tapeworms. The hcok is baited with something to tempt the appetite of the worm on 1 the enp- . sale swallowed. As soon as Ills wormship bites, the slide closes and fastens him, the apparatus Is drawn up by the Usher at the other end, and (here you arc. Chicago Herald. The inventor of this new article ofsport ing goods is a regular three-ply patriot, and he deserves to he hung with gold medals till you can’t see him. His patri otic pride became aroused and lie deter mined to iind a fishing ground where Americans could enjoy tin* sport without Interference by tlie Canadian authorities and their revenue cutters. lie lias found it. And we would like to see Canada claiming jurisdiction and forbidding the sport. There’ll he a sure enough war if such a thing is attempted. Our age is rapidly becoming one of luxury and con veniences, AVe can now fish from early morn to dewy eve without getting wet feet, or catching a cold, or being snake bit, AVe cun now hid defiance to the adverse influence of the, moon, and the tide and tlie wind. Talk about this being an age of wonder, with its railroads, telephones, cocaine and electricity. But whoever expected to see the day AvJien a man could climb a church steeple, fifty miles from water, taking lii- line and hook, bait and pond up with him, and enjoy a day’s angling? Now tho men iu the stores can iisli be tween customers’ calls; tlie prisoner in jail can fish ; the minister can Iisli in liis study on Sunday afternoons; and the bed-ridden invalid can just lay there and Iisli lor 11is health. The loafers that sit around hotels in arm chairs on .Sun days, will soon he seen each one with a silk string running from a vest button down his throat, and as one starts or jumps, tho other swill say, “Jim are you gittin’ a bite?” Yes, this new ar ticle of sporting goods is a great inven tion. But the c lily un-American feature about it it that it amounts to a practical boycott of tape worms. Still the tape worm is a voracious monopolist, and de serves his fnte. Down with monopolists and tape worms! Up with tape worms; w'e meant to say. Pkeimrations are now being made in Ohio for the fall elections, and ex-Speaker Kcifer is on deck. He is a candidate for nomination against Lieutenant Governor Kennedy. .The latter gentleman is a great worker, and may defeat the scape goat of the congress of 1882. The repub lican majority in that district is from three t housand to four thousand, and the nomination is equivalent to an election. Moi.uk I’enxi.xtitox, the Alabama girl prophetess, prefers talking with sinners to talking with Christians. Mollie isn’t so different from other girls after all, and it will he just as well for the older Pen ningtons to keep a weather eye on Mol lie while the season of picnic elopements is yet in full blast. Not lliinl ut All. No it is not hard to write funny paragraphs; nil you lnive to do is to procure a lien, some paper and ink, and then sit down and write them as they occur to you. It is not the writing, but the occurring that is hard,—[New Haven News. No, there is nothing diltlcult about writing jokes. Every newspaper of metropolitan preten sions has a funny limn, who roosts in tlie back oitice and writes jokes. He generally stays there for several reasons. First, because he has no where else to go, and couldn’t find the way if he had. But the main reason he stays back there is because he is afraid the subscribers will kill him if he comes out. He knows he desbrves it, and that any jury would acquit them if they mur dered him. If tiie joke editor is an “unloosin’ cuss,” it is on account of his looks, not his lan guage. He lias drea.i y eyes that haunt you still, a hatchet face, a hungry look, and his feet are so long that tlie children think he has a section of each leg turned un der, walking on it. His general per sonnel indicates a cross between u dime museum 'Veivk and a soap peddler, and as he sits with his coat t-ils in the spittoon trying to make his thinker run without Aiel, he is a scene for sculp ing. in this 808ue he is on duty. Gif duty, lie is generally found at a free lunch coun ter trying to pawn his liver pad for a pint of the rosy. In evolving a j( ke from his so-called brain, he scratches his bead at inteiva’s. These gestures are not always made in jest Every time he gets off an original joke, he regards it as his own child as it were; anil he generally dies child less. His tiade is to make jokes, and if be were to meet one in the road he Wouldn't know wbat it was. H’ssoul is about the light sice to dance n jig in a hollow mustard seed, and leave plenty of room for tiie fiddler. There is no law to punish him for carrying on his nefarious calling. While he lives he gets four dollars a week; when he dies, unless the universalist doc- t.ine is true, he gets what he deserves. When a joke editor tetires from business, they generally use him to start a hospital with, or else make him sexton of some cemetery Hint is doing a thriving business. His jokes impart an air of solemnity to tlie place that makes a black hearse plume turn green with en\y. Roscos conkling is repoued to have said iu 1880, after the Chicago conventi m, that u party should always nominate its strongest man, and that ihiling to nominate Grant the republicans should have nominated Blaine. From his course in 1884, however, it seems probable that he was not very earnest in the opinion imputed to him. New Jersey republicans are mad because they say the democrats are encouraging the prohibi tionists. Why should this aggravate the repub lican* 1 ARE you GOING TIT MISS IT? Two Weeks Only!
