Jamkh Gordon Bknnktt, a distinguished foreigner, has arrived in New York. It is rumored that the revised diction ary will spell medical diploma die- ;i>loma. Guano army excursions since the war iiave enabled many heroes of the rebell ion to see their first battle field. The party of Henry George has been • called the "confiscation party,” but it failed to confiscate the mayor’s office in New York, and that lets it out. Liberty may be enlightening the world, but the Btatue is not lighting New York harbor. The flames refuse to flicker without financial bearing. Tiiehe is a long article in one of our Baltimore exchanges entitled “How to Make a 1‘oultice.” How to wear one and Snok stylish is what bothers the average anan. Tm- greatest surprise about a threo- . foliar cane presentation is the twenty- lollar bar bill the man who receives the cane lias to pay after treating the suh- : setihers to the presentation fund. Literary Like is very dead. The western magazine of the character it ex pected to he, should have been started in St. Louis and not in the uncultivated vil lage of Chicago. ' A whiter in the Americun Rural Home •writes ‘‘Regarding Beehives.” It is best for an amateur to regard the beehive at •A safe distance. If he quostions too close ly he may expect stinging replies. Henry Gkoiuie proposes to abolish poverty. It can be done by hard work and honest dealing. But that is not the •George plan, lie has an idea that elect ing him to the highest office will relieve the pressure. ■Some of the newly rich arc so particu lar that, they will not use the Book of Common 1‘rayer.—Host mi Pot. The woman who sails up the middle aisle of a small church, wearing diamonds, vel vets and laces and a stunning high hat •of<.helatest style, has no appetite for the j line: “Teach as humility, 0 Lord!” Wokubb if ‘‘Jim Cummings” is a myth, and If the voluminous letters which are ^alleged to have come from his pen since the tProtheringhaiu escapade on the ■'“Frisco” road were all indited in the •■newspaper office where they are pub lished. Tlie Globe ‘Democrat always did know how to work any good l'reo ad. racket. ________ Tbs State Temperance Alliance will assemble mayor’s court room in the city building at A1 o’clock this morning.—Montgomery Dispatch. It is to be regretted that the entire delegation should have been “pulled" 'for ta'king too much the first night they i landed .in Montgomery. It is just too 'aw“nli tor anything. His honor in trying the culprits should remember, however, . that they are non-residents, and natural- Uy didn’t know how to gaugo the effects -of Montgomery whisky. Still the spec tacle of a state temperance convention <l>eing piloted into a mayor's court is a sad one. Rev. Myron Reed has bten elected to congress by the democrats from Colorado. He is described as a brilliant but erratic man, of warm temperament and restless Spirit. He lived for a number of years at 1 ndianajioHs, where ho made his ser mons exceedingly lively and interesting hy giving them a local and personal ap plication. Even then he took a very great interest in polities, though ho con fined his attention mostly to local gtlairs. It is said that the Rev. Reed is likely to make himself heard from, and to cut quite a prominent and no unenviable . figure in the house. The Pensacola shipping convention has adjourned after passing a number of resolutions setting forth the importance of using all proper means to revive the American mercantile marine, rests its chief hope of success in being able to educate the people of the United States into a sense of national pride, so that they will demand of their representatives in congress the extension of national as sistance to this great industry. Tho pros pects of such aid are not promising just now. Apparently American steamship lines will have to depend on their own resources. Those which are operated in ■connection with railways have been able 4o sustain themselves best, IT'S THE TIUiTH TIUT HURTS. The things that crawl sod hiss, the beasts that feed upon both the tiring and the dead, the moral hyenas that prowl by night, and the Insects that sting by day, have all been summoned to feed upon the character of the highest official In the nation, whose only offense consists In resisting the importunities of political beggars, in refusing to surrender his high trust to bosses, real and would-be, and in sternly discharging what he conceives to be his duty to his country and hiB party—New York Star. When a journal that assumes to he the mouthpiece of the administration deems it necessary, in justification of Mr. Cleve land's angry criticism of the press, to use language so palpably .extravagant, it is tho natural and fair conclusion of most men that a dispassionate defense of the president—a calm appeal to the facts al leged to constitute hisgric vanceand excuse his tirade—could not he made. This overcharged blunderbuss burst ut the breech. The plain truth is that Mr. Cleveland lias been well treated hy the press—more considerately, in some re spects, than he deserves to be treated. If he is unhappy there’s no one but him self to blame. A public officer, whether the "highest in the nation” or the low est, who chafes under the misinformation concerning him that will inevitably find its way into print now and then, or who growls at humorous personalities, has either a disordered liver or a bad case of big head. Mr. Cleveland’s physi cal condition, from all accounts, could not be improved. A WARK1IO TO EKOLAlfD. Michael Davitt’s visit brings to mind the old story of King Canute. Flattered by his false counsellors who told him so supreme was his power that even nature would obey his bidding, he had his throne placed on the beach at low tide. He sat himself down clad in his regal finery and commanded the waves of the advancing tide to roll back. But King Canute’s imjierial orders were but empty words ; the tide kept creeping on and on until it lapped, and finally encircled the very throne itself. To-day the English tory government is like King Canute sit ting on his throne rind ordering the wa ters of the sea to retreat. The tide that now is rising is tho universal demand that justice be done to Ireland, and that the wrongs of four centuries he righted. This tide of popular feeling can no more be stopped nor allayed than could the rising waves of the ocean by the king’s behest. Let England’s government hear and heed before the waves of this great movement close around the throne and swallow it up forever. Il imiHt heed or look forward to the alternative of the united republic of England, Scotland and Ireland. racy and bright young local reporter of Columbus for a position on the St. Louis paper that lias employed the young man alluded to above. Our candidate’s specialty is predicting the marriages of editors. ________ It is likely that the labor men who will occupy seats in the next congress will cut a wide swath, as our rural friend in harvest season would say. There is never a time in the history of the com moners, no matter how important the subject discussed, no matter how spirited the discussion, but all will give way when some one rises with, “Mr. .Speaker, I have a labor resolution to introduce.” Before a velvety-handed champion of labor the most arrogant lender in tho house becomes dumb, sinks down into his scat and retires into his shirt eollar as tho humble tortoise retires into his conchoiogica! tenement. The labor con gressmen will need no sword and buckler in the fiftieth congress. They can exer cise a tyranny as despotic as is that of the first baby in a household. The-EARTHQUAKE Which occurred at Johnson’s (RED STAR) on Monday, and the seismic disturbances which followed, caused some uneasiness, not to say dismay, among the Leaders and Regulaters of the Universe. Business is Business You know, and If in the hurley-hurley we happen to jostle against you, remember you yourselves were once young and impatient. I have orders from New York to close out a lot of EMBROIDERED SUITS at any price we can get rather than return them. Here is t he result: $15.00 SUITS REDUCED TO $9.00. $12.00 SUITS REDUCED TO $7-50. For two days only, after which they will be returned to New York. ANOTHER LOT OF BIG BARGAINS IN DRESS GOODS. ALL WOOL TRICOTS 37c ALL WOOL DIAGONALS 35c; A 1*01, TH AI. I'llIliOSOI'HKit. The Non. John J. Kleiner, democrat, of the first Indiana district, is a philoso pher ns well as a practical politician. He commenced his congressional career with the forty-eight congress, was re-elected to the forty-ninth, anil refused a nomina tion to the fiftieth. lie explains that after the democratic victory in 1884 he was . so badgered by applications for office that lie was completely prevented from even keeping track of the course of business in the house. Ho seems to have give up trying, for out of 134 post offices he secured changes in 183, and the other was a presidential office. Now, this “clean sweep” was made with the purpose of -satisfying the democratic party in the district, and was not com plicated with any personal schemes. What was the result? The district which Mr. Kleiner had carried twice in succes sion with the federal “patronage" against him, the last time by- a majority of some 1500, was this fall carried by the republican candidate, Mr. Hovey, by a majority of nearly 1700. In the words of a shrewd and witty observer of much experience, “It is not the appointment that tells; it’s the disappointment.” WEATHKK PROPHETS. Another Wiggins is on deck in the per son of one Prof. Foster. Prof. Foster blithely promises to turn loose a few snow storms, tornadoes and blizzards to ravage the country from the 4th to the 19th of December. The learned professor cheer fully assures us that there will be much property destroyed, many lives lost, that telegraph and telephone wires will be platted up in inextricable confusion, that railway travel will be impossible and that all the other incidents of a first- class tough time will be on hand accord ing to advertisement. Somehow it seems impossible to get rid of these foretellers of disaster. One prophet doth tread upon another’s heels, so fast they follow. If one-half tho storms, earthquakes, and other like calamities which have been foretold with such minuteness of state ment were to occur, this terrestrial ball would long ago have been pulverized, and the dust of it scattered among the stars. But the only one thing that we can know with absolute certainty about the weather is that it will never fulfill the predictions of its prophets. THE llODEUN JOURNALIST. An incident has occurred in St. Louis which illustrates the characteristics re quired of the modern journalist in some places. In that western city a reporter wrote and published a falsehood about the editor of another paper. He was at once dismissed from his situation as a sort of apology to the maligned editor, but next day he was engaged on ilie very paper whose editor lie had lied about. The excuse for taking him on was that he was a good liar and his services were valuable.
