No. Too many republicans for you.

I # The movement to discontinue Sun-
day trains of the country seems to be
growing general. The New York Cen
tral , the Deleware and Hudson , the
Canada Pacific , and now the Chicago
& Northwestern are about to , or have
issued orders for such discontinuance.
I It is a movement in the right direction
and will give railroad men much need
ed rest.
, The Attorney General has received
an explanation from U. S. Marsha ]
H Jones , who went to Oklahoma with five
RV - * - - „ or six hundred deputies , a large num-
ber of which took advantage of their
being in the country to stake clai ms
H The report is not at all satisfactory and
H the chances are that Jones will be dis- j
1 , , missed. The deputies who staked :
B * claims will also find it pretty difficult to ,
I hold them :

g | TnE per cent , of increase in the pop- ]
ulation of the United States has not :
been less than 30 per cent , in any ten
years except in the war decade between
IS60 to 1870 , when it was 2S. 65 per
cent. The per cent , between 1870 and
I 18S0 was 30.08. If the increase dur
ing this decade has been 30 per cent ,
and there is every reason to believe that j
, it has been fully that great , the next <
- * * census will show a population of over (
| 64,000,000 people. <

IA the fall "made breeches for themselves" c
I and is the true translation in the opinion |
I of the women's rights people. It shows c
JLr that Eve wore'em also , and that there \
W' r is no human law against them for we- jj

A NEW" DEPARTURE.
Said Uncle Sam : "I will be wise , The grease and dirt no more remain ;
And thus the Indian civilize : 'Twill change their nature day by day ,
Instead of guns that kill a mile , And wash their darkest blots away.
Tobacco , lead and liquor vile , They'll turn their bows to fishing-rods ,
Instead of serving out a meal , And bury hatchets under sods ,
Or sending Agents out to steal , In wisdom and in worth increase ,
I'll give , domestic arts to teach , And ever smoke the pipe of peace ;
A cake of ' Ivory Soap ' to each. For ignorance can never cope
Before it flies the guilty stain , With such a foe as ' Ivory Soap. ' "
A WORD OF WARNING.
There are many white soaps , each represented to be " just as good as the' Ivory' ; "
they ARE NOT , but like all counterfeits , lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities
of the genuine , Ask for "Ivory" Soap and insist upon getting it.
