Tiib marriage of Representative Al-
tain’H daughter (colored) in Louisiana
last, week is attracting national notice on
m count of the] magnificence of the wed-
sjing. 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.

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

The old phantom ship goes down, loaded witli old charge books and ledgers, and old fogy ideas

The missile fired into her was a large rolling stone, and the last words heard from the captain were,
“Gray, please don’t move up town.” All the.small fi$h can do is to murmur. In getting up this re-
r Jon in business the public will notice we did not get up the big rush to the Trade Pulace bv
making a run on cheap cotton goods, but hit the trade right with fine Wool and Linen Goods, so as
to prove to all classes of trade we deserve the name of the Regulators of Low Prices. The double

steers clear of the rocks, so will he whose price is bent on success avoid maelstroms of high prices,
