Ai.i, the leading “politicians" now
take the so called agricultural “organs
That makes thorn sftlid with the “o
gans.” .
O’Mali.ky says ho cannot get juslict
in New Orleans. Did the citizens’ com
mtttee use all their ammunition on the
Mattates?
IT in to bo sincerely hoped that the
south will make more rapid and substan
tial progress with the Jeff Davis monu
ment than New York has with the Grant
monument.
Canada is putting In some more time
on the modus vlvcndi. If the fish man
age to survivo these frequent applica-
tions-of modus vivendi they are pretty
lucky suckers.
Cincinnati tins abolished Sunday base
ball, but she still clings to her Sunday
beer. Probably the doing away with
the lesser evil was the first stop in her
march toward a general moral reform.
“It is a girl, and it Is not iikely to
ever kick a job press," is the way the
editor of an Ohio newspaper announces
the arrival of a stranger at bis house.
No, we guess uot; she will coniine her
kicking to the beaux.
An unknown artist emits tho follow
lng: “The newspaper editor who sue*
ceeds In pleasing everybody will not
need any wings In tho next world. lie
will be carried around by the other good
angols and exhibited as a curiosity.”
And as being tho prize fool for ever
having attempted it.
Tuekk Is pertinence as well as poetic
justice in tho Bcvcro remark of Corpl.
Tanner that to permit jobbory to go on
in the pension bureau Is all wrong. The
Hon. James Tanner is now in a position
to suggest to the administration that the
move from the frying-pan into the tire Is
not an Improvement.
Decidkdi.v the breeziest request lately
heard of was that of a Massachusetts
rough, who had killed a man at Lynn,
and then announced Ills desire to act as
one of the pall-bearers. Naturally tho
request was refused. Had he proflercd
his services to officiate in the capacity of
liquidator of the funeral expenses pos
sibly his overtures might have received
more attention.
Tub wires are burdened with the
thrilling announcement that our revenue
eutter, the Rush, has been ordered to
Behring Sea. Well, as the Rush could,
with difficulty, manage to whip one
Canadian sealer, and as there are a
hundred of them there, backed by Groat
Britain's handsome squadron at Van
couver's, it does not oceur to tho reader
that war is yet ready to break loose.
Vanderbilt, the railroad millionaire,
Baa a magnificent farm and winter resi
dence In North Carolina, and he has just
ereoted on his place a ehloksn house
which cost 913,000. This shows that
Mr. Vanderbilt is not entirely ignorant
of the peculiarities of tho North Caro
lina negro, and determined that his
ehicken bouse should be secure. The
building, no doubt, was constructed on
'the jail plan, so that it would be impos
sible for the chicken to get out or the
negro to get In.
In the state of Maine, the land of
Tom Reed, steady habits and paregoric
drunks, train robbing has not yet be
come an art such as it is in the west.
It is true that a short time ago a train
was stopped by a number of men amid
a great firing of pistols but after all the
fuss was over it was discovered that no
one bad been hurt or robbed. Go west,
ye tenderfeet of Maine and take a few
lessons from Bunch aud other exporta.
Toe Chicago Inter-Ocean, comment
ing on the report that Gor. Hill, of New
Tork, is trying a new hair restorer, says:
*'He may be bald himself, but he ap
pears to have the faculty of raising
other people’s hair, judging from the
number of political scalps at his belt."
If the Inter-Ocean will observe the
scalps closely it will discover that they
were stripped from the heads of his re
publican opponents. Hill's political
record shows that every time the repub-
lleana tried the game of putting him in
a hole he took a scalp.
Recently the governor of Indiana
gave rather a deserved rebuke to the
father of a Kentucky girl who wanted
her arrested and bound over to the offi
cer* of Kentucky on a requisition, aim-
ply because she bad married against his
wishes. Very justly he said that the
ease seemed somewhat strange that a
father should seek to make his own
daughter afelou merely because of
natural desire to marry according to the
dictates of her own preference. This
the governor thought manifested any
thing baton admirable spirit on the part
of* parent. And the governor was un
deniably right Probably it waa just
sucii arbitrary conduct on tho part of
her father that forced tho girl to wed
clandestinely.

SIMPLY 8ACBELIGIOUS.
Rev. Dr. J. D. Fulton, of Cincinnati,
preached a sensational sermon last Sun
day, in which politics cropped out as
thick as willows on a sand hank. Ho
was careful to allude to James G. Blaine
in such a way as to provoke applause,
and the response that came almost
shook the chandaliers loose. The doc
tor did not consider it necessary to
speak of Jesus Christ, in which regard
ho showed commendable discretion,
since the sacrilege of mentioning the
Savior in connection with r» publicans
would have been noticed and 1 perhaps
resented, even by a Cincinnati congre
gation.
But toward tho olose of the service it
began to dawn upon the Doctor that he
had forgotten something, viz: the Al
mighty; and in his closing prayer he
made the followingamendc:
peur Lord, if we have sal I anything which
we should have left unsaid please forgive us.
If we have said anything worthy of hooking
on to, please hook on to It.
The old-time abolitionist who demand
ed an “anti-slavery god,” may no longer
bear the palm of republican impiety.
They are not in it with the Rev. Dr.
Fulton. Neither are the Ilev. Sam Jones
and his imitators. We will back tho
paragraph quoted against the most start
ling expressions of the class of persons
who address the Creator as if lie were a
boon companion.
The “God and Morality” party has
need of such clerical partisans. They
are in full accord witli the spirit in
which the party was born and on which
it has fed from the first. Jehovah him
self is liable to censure if he differs
with it.
While The Timkh-Recordkr cannot
go so far as to say that all the impiety in
tho world is to be found in the ranks of
the g. o. p, it must condemn such
talk aa the above. A preacher who can
so talk evidently has little respect for
his maker, and is a sensational preach-

THE CONTEST IN OHIO.
The Cincinnati Enquirer and the gang
of ward toughs that it represents are
making as bitter a war against Gov.
Campbell as they did against Allen G.
Thurman, but the better element of the
democratic party in Ohio is supporting
Campbell and tbe chances are the trick
sters and the traders will be sent to the
or for revenue only.
To address God as If He wore a bar
room bum or a street loafer is certainly
no badge of Christianity.
It is tile reverse.
nits THEM TO THE IIU'SII,
The school girl who solocted for a
composition the subject, “Behind tho
Clouds tile Starlight Lurks,” displayed
a knowledge of astronomy and tho prop
er use of words.
Tho starlight lurks behind the clouds,
like a wild beast In its lair, just ready to
pounce upon a fellow who is in the act
of kissing his best girl.
The stairy constellation, the “Great
Bear,” it appears, has no other object In
life but to keep his eyes open, and just
at the critical moment oxposo tho ac
tlons of lovers.
And when lovers liug each other the
“Great Boar” has been known to go
wild with joy, and make a lunge at
“Venus” for the purpose of giving her
a hug, thus endangering the autonomy
of the stars and exciting the jealousy of
‘Mercury."
This lurking disposition of the stars
has thus been discovered by a sweet glrl-
gradiiato, and the wisdom of [tho as
tronomers has boon put to the blush.
Two of the largest and most influential
counties in the state have already de
clared for Campbell, and his friends are
more hopeful now of his rcnomlnatlon
than they lmvo ever been. It looks now*
as though Gov. Campbell would be op-
IKised in the convention by the Hon.
Lawrence O'Neal, one of the leading
democrats of the state and a gentlemen
worthy in every way to fill the guberna
torial chair, hut lie is not as strong in
the rural districts as Campbell, and it is
doubtful whether he will be able to get
the nomination.
After all, howover, it does not matter
much who is the nominee; harmony is
the all important thing, and this is what
the leaders In the state are aiming at.
With cither Campbell or O'Neal at the
head of the ticket, and tariff reform as
the issue, the democrats, if they are
united this fail, will givo McKinley a
thorough drubbing and carry Ohio,
which state is the outpost of the repub
lican party.
If tbe democrats of Ohio elect their
governor in November next victory in
1892 is almost certain, as the defeat of
McKinley will be sure to demoralize and
rout the ranks of the high taxes.
A Neiihaska farmer lately drowned
himself in his wife's rain-water barrel
because his hired man hitched up the
old blind horse on the near instead of
the off side. We heartily commend that
man's sedso. Some men would have
sworn at the man, jawed the dog and
kicked the wife out of doors.
Hit. GOULD'S CANDOR.
Away back as far as October 6,1890,
soon alter the McKinley bill was enact
ed, Mr. Gould said:
I cannot see that the new tariff of
itself will be a disadvantage to the coun
try. If it increases the cost of some
articles, people will simply use less of
them. Taka wool, for Instance, if tbe
tariff on wool makes elothlng coat more,
a poraon will get along with one cult
where ho would otherwise have two."
Now that waa candor for you. Mr.
Gould, with his one hundred and fifty
millions, of courie, doesn't see or care,
perhaps, whether the poor man has one
•uitornone. If the republican party
was equally as candid, and would hon
estly confess that it docs not care a
continental for tho workingman, the
poor consumer, this class of deceived
republican voters would soon learn
where tlioir interests lie. Perhaps they
will “tumble to tho racket” by Novem
ber Utb,'92.
Ditunu the month of April 85,000
immigrants, exclusive of those from
Canada aud Mexico, arrived in the
United States, the humber for the cor
responding month of last year being
04,212. It is thought that the May to
tals wili exceed 100,000. This country
was recently tried at tbe bar of European
opinion, and found guilty on every ac
count The constitution was adjudged
defective, the people were considered
lawless and but partially civilized, and
It was agreed that the American repub
lic had been a conspicuous failure.
Nevertheless only a wall around Europe
to keep them in, and another around
America to keep them out, would pre
vent us from receiving 800,000 or 1,000,-
000 foreigners this year. A great num
ber, probably half of these people, will
find homes in states almost as thickly
populated as those they left. So there
is something besides the new country
theory to draw them. When strangers
persist in crowding into Uncle Sam's
kitchen in this wholesale manner, it
looks a* If be were not such a failure as
a housekeeper after all.
Amo* Cummings says: “It Gorman
will keep hit mouth shut and stand on
hie own record hit ’chances are mighty
good.” Of course we ail have our pref
erences. And yet, Senator Gorman
would carry the democratic banner with
honor to Ids party and to tho nation.
