TOPICS find COMMENT.
It will soon be an easy matter to or-
ganize a full regiment of Statesmen-out-
of wich.
iEirise square pegs into round holes
is an-edasy job compared to Presidential
cabinet making.
CALIFORNIA will for the first time be
represented in the U. 8. Senate by a na-
tive, when Senator White takes his seat.
THE people of this country will know
more about Hawaii in the next few weeks
than ever before, and knowledge is al-
ways desirable.
Tar number of men of whom their
friends say ‘‘he can go into the cabinet
if he wants to” is already larger than the
membership of the cabinet.
GARzA’s men must have all been lead-
ers. Another one of the “leaders” has
just been captured. Why not corral a
follower or two, just for a change?
Tue House committee was appointed
to get at the facts in the Panama canal
scandal, not to suppress them by holding
secret sessions. Do you hear, gentlemen?
SENATOR VEST would better go slow
in abusing the newspapers. ‘Tis a dan-
gerous sport for a public man to engage
in, as-he may learn to his cost, as others
have done. :
IF the Minnesota legislature pases that
bill making it against the law to wear
hoop-shirts in that state, every woman
in the state will have one as soon as it
can it be bought.
DeMocCrATS charge Judge Jackson with
being a Republican, and the Republicans
say he is a Democrat. The Populists
have not up to this time expressed any
opinion of his politics:
WrrH a gigantic type trust already in
existence and a paper trust now forming,
it would seew that the capitalists will
soon be in a position to put the screws on
the newspaper publishers.
Tee killing of that amateur pugilist in
New Orleans might be duplicated many
times among both professionals and ama-
tears, without serious detriment to the
welfare of the rising generation.
TreERE is danger that the University
market may soon be glutted, if the craze
for establishing new ones continues. By
the way, are any of the existing universi-
ties so crowded with students that they
have to turn away applicants?
THE Lincoln Call jocosely observes:
“What base wretch has the nerve to say
the west is not progressive? Look at
Kansas. A double-ring legislative circus,
with two clowns, two ring masters, any
number of trick mules, monkeys and the
like, and both going at once.”
To wHat straits may the poor Indians
be reduced next? An Indian princess is
maid of all work in a Denver tamily,
and she is said to” be a good one, too.
8he doubtless believes it better to hustle
for ‘‘steen” dollars a month than to at-
tempt to live on royalty and wind.
-BoasT as we may of the wonderful
stride this country has made in manufac-
tures, in railways, in commercial progress,
it is half a century behind in road-mak-
ing. It is about time that the country
should wake up and 1ake some interest
in substantial road-building.—Toledo
Commercial.
_ THE old, old question of whether col-
leges ean turn out ready-made journalists
is being revived. At least one American
college tried it and acknowledged Failure.
A college education is a good thing for a
newspaper man—or for any other man,
or woman either—but a practical news-
paper education can never be acquired
outside of a newspaper office.
PRESIDENT PALMER, of the World's
Fair Commission, has eome out in the
Detroit Journal in favor of Sunday open-
ing of the exposition,. on constitutional
as well as on moral grounds. The for-
mer will commend themselves to Con-
gress; the latter are commended to the
well-meaning zealots who insist upon
confounding the moral code with the
obsolete Blue laws.—Somerset Vedette.
Hon. Geo. V. LAWRENCE, of Washing-
ton county, has prepared a bill repealing
the “‘bounty on fox scalps,” which cost
the counties in ‘the aggregate $40,000 a
year. Mr. Lawrence claims that foxes
are more beneficial than destructive, from
the fact that they kill- large numbers of
mice, which little animals; he says, do a
good deal of harm to the bay ‘and other
'| product of the farmer. "Ou the outside
of a fox hole discovered recently he de-
clared 161 dead mice were found, all of
which were carried. there as food for the
young foxes that had inhabited the dwell-
ing: place under-the ground. i
TIES ’
Tar Law aud Order Society of Pitts-
burg having secured the conviction of
the publisher of a Sunday paper, under
a century-old blue law, announces its in-
tention of preventing the sale and distri-
bution of newspapers on Sunday. What
these people need is a taste of their own
medicine. Stop the street cars. Close
the drug stores. Barricade the fruit and
cigar stands. Lock the barber shops.
Enjoin the livery stables. Make life on
Sunday a misery for everybody who does
not want to go to church badly enough
to walk. A drastic and equal enforce-
ment of the blue law will soon bring the
bigots to terms.—N. Y. World.
* THOUGH Ting in n'a Pittebirg jail and
smarting under a sense of being wronged,
Hugh O'Donnell had the manliness and
courage to send out a letter to working-
men, and this is his honest statement:
“A number of alleged champions of our
cause, who have been the source of con-
stant injury to us, have been playing the
part of the demagogue hefore the people
of the country, pretending that the Home-
stead strike was caused by the tariff. 1
was always a protectionist. I am a Re-
publican and a Protectionist today, strong-
er than ever, and although Iam in prison
tonight, for the sake of myself and my
fellow-workingmen who are interested
in the cause of American labor, I beg of
them not to think for a moment that pro-
tection is not the greatest blessing that
can be bestowed upon us.”
Frew people are aware of the fact that
women are eligible in this state to the
office of school director, but such is the
fact, nevertheless. Nearly every com-
munity has some women that would
make the best kind of school directors,
and in many cases it would be good policy
to elect them to the office; especially in
places like Salisbury, where the ‘lords
of creation” are always quarreling over
school matters. Give the women a
chance, for they can not do any worse
than the men. The time is coming when
tirey will all have the right to vote, any-
way, and may God speed the day. The
idea that women are not intelligent
enough to vote and to hold office is a de-
lusion. Some of the most. competent
school directors in the world are women,
and they can be found all over the West-
ern states. In school matters the West
is far ahead of the East, yet many of their
most competent directors and county
superintendents out there are women.
And,” by tbe way, what class of men
usually cry down woman suffrage? Al-
most invariably the illiterate and unedu-
cated class. There are exceptions, of
course, but they are few.
SENDING teachers and preachers to the
World's Fair seems to be the latest adver
NUMBER o.
tising acheme among both city and coun-
try newspapers. The Uniontown Stand-
ard has determined to send the most
popular preacher of Fayette connty, and
the Genius of Liberty of that place has
this to say concerning the purpose of its
local contemporary :
The Standard proposes to send the most
popular preacher in the county to the
World's Fair, free of expense to the
preacher, his popularity to be determined
by votes. Itis too much like “‘flyin’ in
the face of Providence” to send a Fayette
county preacher alone to Chicago.” The
editor of the Standard should either go
along and take care of him, or else send
the preacher's wife with him. Chicago
is a dangerous place for a popular preach-
er to' be alone. The Genius would like
to do something for the preachers, but
isn’t especially concerned about the most
popular ones, for they are'able to go if
they want to. and we will take with us.
and show him the sights, the poorest,
meanest, most unpopular preacher in the
county. He does=’t need to gel votes.
We'll take his word that he fills the bill.
If the other papers in the county will
look a little after those between these ex-
tremes, the preachers will be out of the
way and we can give our attention to
other unfortunates.
Tar Democracy assured the people all
through the late presidential campaign.
that although they did not believe in the
present tariff, nothing would be done too
suddenly, or, even at all, to disturb the bus-
iness interests of the country during Mr.
Cleveland’s administration. We are glad
to bie assured by a gentleman who is very
close to the tariff throne, that this prom-
ise has lately, in some way, come to the
leading Republicans of the county, in such
shape that they are convinced there will
be no violent interruption of business or
manufactares; and. while Congress will
carefully reduce the heavy burden that
has been laid on the shonlders of the peo-
ple, by so-called protection laws, every
move made will have regard to the pre-
vention of any thing like panic or dis:
tress.—Somerset Vedette.
What dizzy rot the Vedette ean get off
when it tries! What the Democracy as-
sured the people all through the campaign
and inits platform was this: “We de-
nounce Republican protection: asa frand.”
Many of the big men of the Demberatic
party declared from the stump that the
whole Republican tariff systerp would be
wiped out at one fell swoop, ifthe peo-
ple would return their party to power.
But now, since Cleveland is elected, Dem-
heratic politicians and newspapers are
very busy telling the dear people that
they .are not going to make any radical
changes and tliereby cripple: the business
interests of the conntry. H the Republi:
can protective system was such a great
evil before the election, why is it not so
now? If it was in order to talk of tear-
ing it ont, root and branch, before the
election,’ why is it not in order to talk
that way now? Simply because the Dem -
ocrats have always disbelieved their own
doctrine.
Watterson on Lincoln.
From Caesar to Bismarck and Glad:
stone the world has had soldiers and
statesmen who rose to eminence and pow-
er, step by step, through series of geomet -
rical progression, as it were, each pro-
motion following in regular order, the
whole, obiedient to well understood law
of cause and effect. These were
what. we call ‘‘men of destiny.” They
were men of time. They were men
whose cause had a beginning, a middie
and an end, rounding off life with a his:
tory; full, it may be, of interesting and
exciting eveats, hut comprehensible and
comprehensive, simple, clear and com
plete. The inspired men are fewer.
They rose from shadow and went in mist.
They arrived, God's work upon their lips:
they did their office. God's mantle about
them: and they passed away, God's holy
light between the world and them, leav-
ing behind a memory half mortal and
half myth.
‘Tried by this standard, and observed
in an historic spirit, where shall we find
an illustration more impressive than in
Abraham Lincoln, whose life, career and
death might be chanted by a Greek chorus
as at once, the prelude and epilogue of
the most imperial theme of modern times?
Born as lowly as the son of God, in a
hovel, reared in peaury, squalor, with no
gleam of light nor fair surrounding, it
was reserved for this strange being late
in life, without name or fame or prepar-
ation, to be snatched from obscurity,
raised to a supreme command at a su
preme command at a supreme moment
and intrusted with the destiny of a na
tion. Where did Shakespeare get his
genius? Where did Mozart get his ma-
sic? Whose hand smote the lyre of the
Scottish plowman and staid the life of the
German priest? God alone, and as surely
as these were raised up by God, inspire
by God, was Abraham Lincolir; and a
thousand years hence no story, no irage-
dy. no epic poem, will be filled with great-
er wonder than that which tells of his
life and death. If Lincoln was not in-
spired by God, then their is no suelsthing
on earth as a special providence or the
interposition of divine power in the af
fairs of men.—Louisville Courier-
not

nal.
