" 1 President Cleveland would modify it by saying , "I know nothing west of Buf falo. " The Omaha Herald kindly advises ' • Brother Sparks , of Washington , to take his tiny boom to a butcher-shop and swap it for brains. " This is good Democratic advice. Judge Fontaine Fox is the prohibi tion candidate for governor of Ken tucky. He characterizes the ticket he heads as the best one , morally and in tellectually , ever offered Kentuckians. As it will go a little hard with the press out West to pay railroad fare , how would it do for the newspapers to chip in and buy the B. & 0. , and two or three other connecting lines West. and South ? It won't be long now until the poor , oppressed husband will have blisters on his hands from holding to a fishing- pole , while his tyrannical wife will be staying at home having fun with the spade in the garden. The New York World asseverates that "the collection of $10,000,000 a month of excessive revenue is an outra geous abuse of power. The principle of "no taxation without representation" is not more fundamental than that of no taxation without a public necessity. " Alfred Sully is spoken of as the new giant in the railroad world. The grasp of a Napoleon and the executive adroitness of a William of Orange are some of the qualities ascribed to him. The Richmond Terminal and B. & O. consolidation is said to be his handy work. The theory of the New York Sun is that neither Cleveland nor Blaine will be nominated. This theory will prove to be correct. Sherman will be the republican nominee and David Bennett Hill the democratic nominee. And Sher man will win. The republican ticket will be Sherman and Allison. The dem ocrat ticket will be Hill and Voorhees. We are not regularly in the prediction line , but this goes as an amateur start er. Republican. No one will blame Mr. Cleveland if he remove Brother Sparks with a reas onable degree of celerity. As a private citizen Sparks was ponderously viva cious. As Sparks , L. C , he was a bore and a nuisance , always promptly threatening the title of some quarter section squatter , and droningly investi gating the fradulent claim of some mil lion-acre usurper. As a politician he has proven himself as disloyal to his chief as he is incompetent as a land commissioner. That Mr. Hill is far too shrewd a man to be led into nego tiations with Sparks for the formation of a presidential ticket of Hill and Sparks goes without saying. That Sparks should have been base enough to propose it is a little surprising. It was admitted that he was a sham as a re former ; it was not suspected that he was a sneak as a politician. Mr. Cleve land should lose no time in informing Mr. Sparks that while he may never be V. P. , he can at once consider that he has the G. II. Knowing ones in railroad circles say that the forthcoming election of a new board of directors of the Union Pacific railway , which occurs the 28th inst. , will again place the road into the hands of New York parties. Like ever1 other change in this management , in years past , it is to be expected that the line officials will suffer a general shaking up. When Sydney Dillon , representing New York capital , retired , and was succeed ed by Charles Francis Adams , there was a complete reorganization. Thos. L. Kimball , traffic manager , who has for years been the recognized represen tative of New York bond-holders has been noticeably under a cloud ever since he was removed from the position of as sistant general manager , in the days of S. H. H. Clark. In the event of the accession of the New York people it is predicted that a greater over-turning of officials all along the line will take place. The general anxiety manifested in these parts is not wholly without foundation. Bee , MILLINERY ! I j Gil SPRING DPMII O BY O | I MRS. J. B. McCABE , I ! I O ON O I I ? I Saturday , March 26th !
