This news, though it may embarrass the projectors some, will not prevent its establishment. —Hastings Democrat. Not one house committee chair manship has been given to the numerous members who came from the states west of the Missouri river. Rather shabby treatment for western democrats, we should say. England is satisfied with the Bering sea sealing decision ;Canada claims a complete victory; and the United States has clearly gained the main object of its contention. International arbitration is certain ly a grand success. The farmers of Connecticut are trying to break the drouth by bom barding the skies after the fashion of General Dyrenforth. Rain Maker Jewell of Kansas is at leisure just at present and the Nut meg state men should send for him. The western railroads are now climbing over one another in their haste to offer reduced rates to Chicago. They have finally come to the conclusion to make hay while the sun shines, and evidently re gret having wasted so much time in making up their minds. The meeting of the republican state central committee Wednesday evening was largely attended, almost every member of the com mittee being present. It was an enthusiastic meeting and every member reported the signs all pointing to the election of a repub lican judge this fall. Senator Sherman declares that Congress is not indifferent to the needs of the country, but is hon estly divided on the best policy to be pursued. The people have known that all along, but would like to be informed definitely when the honest division will be trans formed into honest action. The New York Sunday Tribune publishes a little cartoon that illus trates the situation in so simple a way that he who runs may read and the reading carries conviction with it. It is a picture of a sheep fold with Uncle Sam as the shep herd. The old man has become wearied with well doing and has gone to sleep in the shade. The gate has been left open. The big flock of sheep are panic stricken and are beginning to rush for the further horizon. Crouching in a corner is the striped tiger that has become the emblem of the national democracy. And the tiger is say ing: “What are they runing for, I haven’t done anything—yet?” The power of Secretary Hoke Smith to hang up several hundred pensions per day for “investiga tion” and keep the recipients out of their dues for an indefinite period until he gets ready to see whether they are legally awarded or not, is to be tested in the courts. The premises taken by the plaint iffs in the case will be that the time to suspend a pension is after an investigation and not before, and that there is no more authority vested in Mr. Smith to stop the payment of pensions to those on the pension roll of the government than there is to suspend the pay of a congressman or officeholder duly certified or commissioned, until some member of the cabinet has “investigated” the legality of the election or the appointment.
