Five of our foreign ministers
Were at various times in their lives
■editors of country newspapers.
“Boss” Kelly has been overthrown.
Let others who would be “bosses”
profit by his example and escape his
fate.
C liesapeake City,Md., with a popu¬
lation of 2,500, is without a paper.
Here is a golden opportunity for a
young enterprising newspaper man
on the lookout for an opening.
John Kelly has been deposed from
his position as Comptroller of tin*
city of New York, and Mr. Allan
Campbell,] Commissioner of Public
Works, has been appointed in his
stead. Phis intelligence will grati¬
fy the Democracy of the entire Un¬
ion.
There ought to be no'legislation
on the subject of fixing tin* price of
interest. Money is worth just what
it will bring in the market; audit
ought toj^be allowed to bring just
what it is worth. It is a piece of
outrageous folly to force nionev
lenders to put out their money at
less than the market value if tlu*v
lend it out at all.— Fshumelite.

The democratic party is not dying
out very rapidly. Tihlen’s vote was
4,284,204, and Hancock’s 4,180,014.
The democratic party is, therefore,
larger than it was in 1870 by 151,750
votes. And this, too, in tin* lace of
the fact that a full democratic vote
was not polled in Georgia and most
of the other southern states.

The most!costly building in the
country when completed will he the
great Mormon temple at Salt Lake
City,the cost of which is estimated at
$27,000,000. The next in cost is the
.capitol at Washington. Tin* third,
.the capitol of Now York, still incom¬
plete; and after that, the New York
city court-house.

The Silver Dollar.
According to one of the St. Louis
papers the class in arithmetic in the
public schools of that city has not yet
taken up the dollar problem, but
when it does the examination will run
in about this wise;
Teacher—Now, hoys, what is this I
havedn my hand?
All the boys—It’s a dollar.
Teacher—Yes; it’s a legal tender
dollar. It is ealled the dollar of the
fathers. I low much silver does it
contain?
Small boy—112.1 grains.
Teacher—That’s right. Now,
what do you call this? It is also a
silver dollar, but what is it ealled?
Small boy (after examination)—
It’s a trade dollar.
Teacher—That’s right. Now, how
much silver does it contain?
Small boy—420 grains.
'Teacher—How much is it worth?
No answer from the hoys.
Teacher—Well, is it worth ninety
cents?
All the boys—It is worth ninety
cents.
Teacher—Now boys,tell me why it
is that the dollar containing 4121
grains of silver is worth 100 cents,
whjfk’the dollar containing 420 grains
is v'brth only ninety cents?
Head of the class—Damfino.
It’s a question which must go to
.Congress for settlement. The big
boy there ou glit to he able to answers
this question, or'ought to retire from
Congress.— Chieaffo Times.

The Railroad Commission.
Among all the reforms instituted
by the railroad commission there has
been none which is so important to
the masses of the people as that
proposed in the circular published
elsewhere. It places the railroads of
Georgia on the popular basis of the
great northern and western lines;
it affords facilities for much free
intercourse among the people; it goes
a great way toward the object of the
commission, which is to make uni¬
form, just and reasonable the tariffs
pf the railroads. A reduction to
three cents a utile in passenger fares
may sound harsh to the railroads at
first, but then* are evidently many
reasons why it cannot damage them
ultimately. Even they admist that
travel will be greatly increased.
They have special rates below this
figure which can be raised, and then
it must be remembered that cheap
travel is one of the great incentives
to immigration and that no interest
is more benefited by immigration
than the railroads. Even if the tem¬
porary effect of this circular is a
slight reduction in railroad revenues
and a small decline in their stocks
the ultimate result of t he experiment
will not be found, injurious to them.
Two members of the commission, in
interviews which appear elsewhere,
give the philosophy of the reduction
so strongly that it must commend
itself to the fair-minded public.—

What tlie Democracy Need.
'I lie Chicago Tinns adheres to its
opinion that the D< mocratic party is
dead. The returns of the recent
election do not justify the opin¬
ion.
The total vote cast for President
by tin* Republicans and Democrats
was 8,8715,42ft, of which Garfield got
4,490,115 and Hancock 4,490,014,
leaving Garfield the meagre major¬
ity of .1,401.
party beaten by barely
thirty four hundred votes in a con
test where nearly nine million are
thrown, can hardly be regarded as
dead or dying.
Hancock’s defeat mav be likened
to the failure of a party at a slate
election to carry its candidate for
Governor by 94 votes in a contest
when 88,754 are cast.
The opposite party, which had
saved itself by such a hair’s breadth,
would be apt to look upon ils an
tagonist as anything but a corpse!.
Tlie Democratic party never east
so many votes as at the election thi>
tall. It gave Hancock even a larger
number than it gave Tilden in IS'.'G,
when tlu* latter was elected, but was
•heated out of his ot?i<\* by i 1 1 “ pres¬
ent fraudulent President.
The Democratic party has votes
enough. What it needs is leaders
who are not knaves and not fools.-—

Tlie Secret Out.
James Redpath, who arrived
I rum Ireland Monday, spoke in
Newark that evening at the Irish
Land League meeting, lie said:
All this year there have been only
five eases of accidental death that
any one can attribute to the tenants.
One of the men kill was Lord Lei¬
trim. It he had not been shot it
would have been an eternal dis¬
grace. He had ruined thirty, pure
girls, and the brother of otic of them
went to Ireland from Chicago and
shot him down like the dog that he
was. [Applause] 1 profoundly hon¬
or him for it; and if I meet him in
Chicago 1 will congratulate him on
being a good shot. I hope he will
disclose his name, that wo may give
him a testimonial. Mr. Fronde has
condemned that shooting, and I
charge him with defending debauch¬
ery. It is time to speak out about
this thing. The Land League lias
given the people new courage. Last
year they wert* crushed, but now they
act like free men. By socially os¬
tracizing every one who takes a farm
from which a tenant lias been evict¬
ed, the people keep such farms va¬
cant.
--------
Desperation.
An Iowa editor recently to keep with
the styles ran away with another
man’s wife. He did not get off so
easily as lie imagined lie would.
The man followed him and over
took the truant pair. The editor
got behind the* woman, and prepared
to sell his life as dearly as possible.
He was uncertain whether the out¬
raged husband would shoot him or
murder him with a curving knife.
IIu stood there like the boy on tlie
burning deck, and awaited the re¬
sult. The outraged husband came
up within about two feet of the edi¬
tor, and said:
“Cuss your impudence. I want
you to stop my paper.”—That was
all. The editor recovered himself
and said he would have the matter
attended to at once. During all the
trying scenes the woman stuck to the
editor like a sand burr to a girl’s
sook. Some people get mad and
stop their paper for almost nothing
—it beats all.
