TOPICS find COMMENT,
ONE key is always dangerous to use in
political deadlocks—whiskey. See?
“‘SENATOR-ELECT” is in the eyes of a
number of gentlemen a decided improve
ment upon ‘‘Senator-expectant.”
Thar Colorado gold find seems to be
closely related to the average ante-elec-
tion political find—it fails to pan out
when the returns arrive.
IT begins to look as though it would
be necessary to have two World's Fair's,
one open on Sunday and one closed on
Sunday, in order to prevent a boycott.
ProrpLE who give presents to newly-
elected officials may do so trom pure,
good will, but there are always people
who believe they do it either for adver-
tising or for office.
I respectfully solicit your patronage.
THE young carpenter who while at
work in the house of a Wall street broker
persuaded the broker's daughter to run
away with and marry him, is evidently a
joiner as well as a carpenter.
Ir a Congressional committee is to be
appointed to investigate the whisky trust,
pray let it be impressed upon the minds
of its members that it is the trust and not
the whisky that is to be investigated.
PENNSYLVANIA, it is said, leads every
other state in World's Fair work and will
have a better exhibit than any other state.
Even its agricaitural exhibit, it is claimed,
will be the best at the great fair. This is
the best all-around state in the Union.
Miss Susan B. ANTHONY believes that
America is *‘on the verge of an era of un-
married women, because young men do
not earn enough money to support their
wives, and there is such a craze for dissi-
pation among them that the women
would rather go into a store for almost
nothing than to marry.”
A MAN at West Salem, O., has been in-
dicted for wearing a G. A. R. button
without being a member of that organi-
zation. It will be news to many that it
is illegal in some states to display the
insignia of certain orders unless author-
ized to do so by actual membership, but
such is the case. Pennsylvania has such
alaw.—Ex.
A CurcAceo detective, who says he has
worked for two years on the Snell mur-
der case, declares that W. B. Tascott is
not the murderer of Millionaire Snell.
The detective claims that the real mur-
derer is now in Chicago and has been
there ever since the murder; that he is
wealthy and has paid Tascott a fortune
to play the scape-goat. A miner who
has just returned from Alaska says he
saw and talked with Tascott at different
points in Alaska. —Ex.
Every Christmas for the last twelve
years, M. P. Heckerman has visited the
Bedford county poor house, with a kind
word and a gift of some sort for each one
who is so unfortunate as to be compelled
to make that place his home. A man
like Mr. Heckerman is far greater and
far happier than a whole regiment of
Goulds, Vanderbilt, ef al. Being kind
to the unfortunate is a great religion
within itself. The man who lacks this
quality, will never get to heaven, no
matter how pious he is in other respects.
IT lias been truly said that silent suffer-
ing is a thing often unknown to the
world; for there is much pain that is
quite noiseless, and vibrations that make
human agonies are often mere whispers
in the roar of hurrying existence. There
are glances of hatred that stab and 1aise
nb cry of murder; robberies that leave
men and women forever beggared of
peace and joy, but that are kept secret by
the sufferer—commaitted to no sounds ex-
cep! low moans in the night—seen in no
writing except that done on the face by
the slow months of suppressed anguish
and early morning tears. Many an in-
herited sorrow that has marred aliife has
heen breathed into] nt. human ear.—He-
bron (Neb.) Journal.
AN exchange says some Chionzo news-
paper reporters recently dropped five
pocket-books in five public places, then
watched to see what the finders would
do with them. Of the five Incky finders
one was a dude, another a barber, the
third a fashionably-dressed woman, the
fourth a printer. and the fifth a woman
who rides in her own coupe, with silver
ornaments on the harness of the big bay
horse hitched to it. The barber was the
only one of the five to inquire for the
owner of the wallet.
Does this indicate that four out of
every five people are dishonest, or that
barbers are the only honest class? As
for the printer, there is no doubt that he
was honest enough to return it, but his
poverty wouldn’t allow it.

THE Alexandria (Neb.) Herald makes
the following declaration, which is a fair
and manly statement of ‘the wrongs in-
flicted on Newspaper publishers:
We have, after mature deliberation,
concluded to charge for all church and
society entertainment notices at our reg-
ular rates. Extensive marriage and obit-
uary notices, cards of thanks, and reso-
lations of condolence and respect are all
right in their places, and will be taken at
our advertising rates. Our space is our
money, and we can contribute our money
as gracefully as anybody, if we can only
get the cash. But too many think we
have te print something, and can print
their wishes as cheaply as anything else,
and forget that it perhaps more partica-
larly interests them than anvone else.
After giving from ten cents to five dol-
lars worth of space to the subject, editors
are expected to pay the same as those
who have done nothing.
THE editor of the Oregon Resources,
recently established at Portland, Oregon,
makes the following salutatory: It evi-
dently ‘‘comes from the heart,” and a
part, of it, at least, is the honest convie-
tion of many newspaper men. He says:
“I am running this paver all by my lonely.
I am thoroughly satisfied withit. Typo-
graphically, I eall it neat. Editorially,
it is a question of taste. This vaiuable
paper is started to fill a long-felt want—
by the editor—for more cash. Tt will be
devoted to the welfare of the editor first,
to Portland next, and the manufactures
and industries of Oregon. I don’t care n
continental whether yon advertise or not.
[ am going to set my own type, pay for
my press work and paper, and enjoy the
privilege of saying just what I please.
and those not admiring the style of the
long felt want needn't ante. This paper
has come to stay as long as it pays.
When the little dollars cease to tinkle it
will quietly turn up its tiny toes and be
buried in the Oregonian graveyard.”
HERE is a bit of information that con-
tains a great deal of food for reflection.
Read it carefully and ponder over it. If
it is of no importance to yon, we will
guarantee that it will do you no harm.
We do not remember the story word for
word, but it runs something like this:
A certain man recently died in a work
house, in St. Joseph, Mo., and was buried
in the paupers’ corner of the gravevard.
This man had a name, but he requested
the newspapers to speak of him only as
‘‘a certain man.” It is said by some of
them who knew hitn that five vears ago
there wasn’t a young fellow in all Misson-
ri with a brighter future hefore him than:
this certain man. He was happily mar-
ried, had a good pesition with a large
salary, and his talents in certain direc-
tions were so pronounced that it was =
freely predicted that he would be fam-
ous some day. The story of his down-
fall would be a long one, but his own dy-
ing request explains it all. He said:
*‘Erect a cheap headstone for me, if you
please, and inscribe thereon these words:
‘Here lies a man who could drink or let
it alone.'”
This certain man drank until the lid of
his untrimmed, unpainted pine coffin
was nailed down, then he let it alone.
He closed his bleared eyes in a work
house and was filed away in a misfit
grave; and there wasn’t a soul left to
mourn him when a hired man carelessly
shoveled the cold clods upon Lis coffin.
Whisky is a dangerous thing for most
men to fool with. On first acquaintance
it is a genial, mirth-provoking compan-
ion, but when it takes its p'ace as master.
it is the chief of all tyrants. It heeds not
the poor slave's plea to be relinquished
from its grasp nor his resolutions to let
it alone, but it attacks him through his
craving appetite and too often maintains
its mastery over him. It is true that
there are really men who can drink or
let it alone, but vou seldom hear them
speak of it. Those who usually make
that assertion seldom let it alone until
they die, as was the case with this cer-
tain man.
