REMEMBER THE PUCE : WEST SIDE OF MAIN AVENUE , NORTH OF P. 0.
Now , with the mugwump party on
the Atlantic coast and the American
party on the Pacific coast , do politics
boom.
THE American party is now attract
ing some attention in California. Ameri
ca for Americans and law-abiding aliens
is the great burden of their platform.
PAPER shoes are now manufactured
in Paris , and are quite fashionable.
Just imagine a dainty slipper made up
of spring poetry and old love letters.
OF the new silver certificate , a rogu
ish writer saysThey will enable
liberal people to drop a dollar into a
church contribution box without at
tracting attention by the ring of its
fall. "
Iv Commissioner Sparks can not de
fine better than any living man the
meaning of the word "overrule , " it'
will not be because he has failed to
have the lesson.driven into him by his
instructors.
Ax ancient papyrus Book of the
Dead , 3,000 years old and some forty-
two leet in length , has just been sent
to this country. Henry Watterson
will look it over for fresh chestnuts on
free trade.
THE trouble with these "faith cures"
is that in a few weeks after the "com
plete recovery" is reported , the pa
tient's funeral takes place. This is
calculated to make the faith cure un
popular in some quarters.
THE Trenton llegister , last week ,
bloomed into a full-fledged bourbon
sheet under the suggestive caption of
Democrat. The Democrat has all the
evidences of spring time verdancy and
freshness in make-up. All hail !
PUESIDENT CLEVELAND has made
another contribution to the sufferers
from the Charleston earthquake. This
time he has extracted $10 from his
Jacksonian jeans. 31 r. Cleveland evi
dently believes in Jeff'ersonian economy
-in donation to charity.
A CIOT/EX of Holyoke , Mass. , was
drinking at a bar the other day with
three companions , when his wife came
in , joine.d tho drinkers , and ordered
drinks for all hands. It is said that
no more effectual way of breaking up a
drinking party was ever known in that
section.
W.E notice that some of our country
conteuipoiaries throughout the state
are advertising to receive subscriptions
t3 the Police Gazette. Fie , for shame !
Xo reputable paper should be a party
to the circulation of such villainous
literature , to the dissemination of
trash so vicious.
CONGRESSMAN REAGAN thinks that
congress will certainly pass an inter
state commerce bill at the nest session ,
and he is sanguine that his measure
will prevail. The recent decision of
the supreme court , which greatly cir
cumscribes the right of the states to
legulate the charges of the railroads
for transportation' , renders more imper
ative the demand upon congress for
legislation on this subject.

WHEN President Cleveland reviewed
the great procession in honor of Liber
ty , last Thursday , in New York , "the
irreverent crowd commented upon his
growing baldness since his marriage. "
Evidently the crowd was democratic
enough to take liberties with the Presi
dent's personal appearance.
ONE of the strongest of feminine in
stincts is to spank. The little girl of
G spanks her doll , even while the sym
pathetic tears roll down her cheeks.
She keeps up the practice when grown
to young ladyhood upon her little sis
ters and brothers , if she be fortunate
enough to have any , and from then on
her children and grand-children or
somebody else's children and grand
children receive the benefits , in a ma
tured formof , an art learned in infan
cy , until she. goes hence to a better
land , and even then , perhaps , a wide
field for the exercise of her powers is
before her among the little angels in
heaven. Toledo Blade.
WHY am L a woman suffragist ? Be
cause I am. Because a woman has
more good , hard common sense than a
man. Because she makes less bluster
about her rights , and quietly maintains
them better than a man. Because she
she won't give $1.50 for an article that
she knows very well she can get it for
75 cents. Because she does not stalk
loftily away from the counter without
her change if the robber behind it is a
little reluctant about counting it out.
Because she is too independent to pay
the landlord $2 for her dinner and then
pay the head waiter $1 to send her a
waiter who will bring it to her for 50
cents. Because she will hold her
money tightly in her own good little
right hand for two hours until she first
gets a receipt for it from the fellow
who made her husband pay the same
bill five times , last year. Xot any
"just give you credit for it' ' for her.
Because one.day a Pullman porter com
plained to me , "No money this trip :
too many women aboard. Don't never
get nothin'out of a woman 'ceptin'
just her regular fare. ' ' I had just paid
him 25 cents for blacking one of my
boots and losing the other. And when
he said that , when I saw for myself
the heroic firmness of those women ,
traveling alone , paying their fare and
refusing to pay the salaries of the em
ployes of a wealthy corporation , T
saidThese women have a right to
vote. To vote ? By all that is brave
and self-reliant and sensible , they have
a right to run the government. " Bob
Burdett.
Worse Than a Fire Alarm ,
One of the most dreadful alarms that
can be sounded .in a mother's ear is
produced by croup ; dreadful , because
it is known to be dangerous : the more
dreadful because the life of a loved one
is in jeopardy. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is a never failing safeguard
against this dangerous disease. Its
reputation as a preventive and cure
of croup is fully and firmly established.
In fact , it is the only remedy which
can always be relied upon. Sold * by
