ONE of our Pittsburgh exchanges re-
fers to the Law and Order League as the
Blue Law Society.
Tae latest from Washington is tliat
Baby Mills is liable to take his dishes and
leave the playhouse.
DEATH has knocked another plum.
This time it is Senator Plumb, of Kansas.
He died last Sunday, of apoplexy.
BAuTIMORE will soon have a $100.000
tin plate factory in operation; thanks to
McKinley's little bill. It will have a ca-
pacity of 1.800 boxes of tin plate per
week. !
StepEEN B. ELKINS has been appointed
Secretary of War by President Harrison.
The appointment is a great surprise to
most people. Tt is generally considered
as a political move of Mr. Harrison's, to
help his chances for a second term.
Tae next National Prohibition conven:
tion will be beld in St. Lolifs, June 20th
and 80th. As there are lots of big brew-
eries in 8t. Louis, our cold water breth:
ren should be very careful, lest some of
them return from that city with highly
flavored breath.
AND now Liverpool bobs up and says
that as a trade center which the ruinous
McKinley bill ly red

will not take part in. the World's fair.
How sad it must be to American work-
men to know that ‘the McKinley bill
doesn’t suit England, |
Tuer lottery question has caused a split
in the demoeratic party in Louisiana. A
split has long been needed in that party,
especially in the South. It is not likely,
however, that Louisiana is going to be a
Republiean state on account of the split,
us. some newspapers think will be the
case.
No woxpkRr that the United States is
the best nation on earth. It reads and
supports as many newspapers as Eng-
land, France, Germany and Russia com-
bined. To be an American is greater
than a king. My Country ‘tis of Thee,
Hail Columbia, high, low, jack and the

LA GripPE continues to be on the in-
crease in this state, and the malady is
now causing a booming business for
Pittsburgh and Allegheny druggists. Tt

pose it will tose its grip just whenever it

About three-fourths of the sons of great

“Uncle Smn” ought to take that saucy

broad and mighty palm of his powerful

IT is now reported that Barnum and
Noah are quarreling up in Heaven. It
ig said that each ¢laims to have had the
biggest menagerie on earth. As our tele-
phone is jut of order, and not knowing
where the report originated, we do not
give this as official news. But we'll side
with Barnum, anyway, as he was a good
| advertiser, and advertisers are always in
the lead.
GREAT men have uttered many things
that will doubtless pass through all ages
as being both wise and true; yet many
of them are not only untrue, but actual
ly absurd and ridiculous. For example,
we will quote one of Longfellow’ Ss 8ay-
ings:
‘Every man is in some sort a failure
No one ever reaches the
heights to which he aspires.”
How nntrue! How ahsurd! Many men
have reached the heights to which they
aspired, and many more have gone far
beyond them. Many men who have
scarcely aspired to anything higher than
to live and move and have their being,
huve become great and risen far beyond
their most sanguine expectations or aspi-
rations. “Some men are born great,
some achieve greatness and some have
greatness thrust upon them.”
A max who claims to be an intimate
friend of Grover Cleveland, and also
claims to know what he is talking about,
says Mr. Cleveland is not in the Presiden-
tial race at all. He says his wife objects
to Grover ever being president agrin and
that her wishes will be respected by the
great heavy- weight ex- president. Well,
this paper is of the opinion; that onr fat
friend should by all means heed the ad-
monitions of ‘his dear little wife, for if
he ghould become the Democratic nomi-
nee again he would find after the election
that the majority of the American voters
also objected to his being president again,
and that's where the-unpleasant part of
it wonld come in for Mr. Cleveland. By
respect’ the
wishes of your wife. At any rate don’t
‘contribute a $10,000 check toward a re-
election, . as yon did in 1888,. for if ybu
run again your name will be Dennis Mud,
just ag it was then, and we'll bet that
Dave Hill, of New York, has the same
opinion we have, and Dave is noted for
having a head as long as a churn.
Lire is short and time is fleeting, and
men live aud move and have their being
today. while tomorrow they may be too
dead ‘to skin. Man knoweth not what
hour he may have to turn.up his toes,
nor whether he will have to die with his
bootson or off. In other words, the ways
in which men ‘‘pass in their checks” are
numerous and as varied as they are nu-
merous. Here is an example of some of
the queer ways in which men are some-
times raked in by the ‘grim reaper:”
Here the noble seven sleep, in their
mameless graves, where the summer zeph-
yrs weep, and the willow waves; let them
slumber sweetly on, in Death's somber
chains, lying still and cold and wan, free’
from tears and pains.

some very outrageous inconsistencies
