Wha? is there in the Chicago atmos- phere that breeds the crank murderer? Is it the miasma of anarchy ? Ir men were not always looking for an opportunity to get something for nothing, there would be fewey professional swin- dlers. SoME of the United States Senators will find it extremely difficult to explain some things to the satisfaction of their constit- uents. . THE enemies of Henry George and his theories are disposed to make the most of the Chicago assassin having been a Single-tax man. A rEcrss of Congress before Thanks- giving day would be appreciated bv those who are trying to discover something to be thankful for. CHICAGO merchants are grateful. One of them has given $1,000,000 toward es- tablishing a permanent museum in the World’s Fair Art Palace. SAvs the Denver Republican: ‘Some men are born great, some achieve great- ness, and some pay for it in the coin of the realm, as did Mr. Van Alen.” IF disappointed office-seekers are to be- come addicted to the use of revolvers, the dispensers of patronage may have to re- sort to steel co: nts of mail for protection. Last fall a great many men considered it a patriotic duty and an honor to bhawl out, “I am a Democrat.” This fall that familiar yell is not so numerous and pro- longed. THE assassin of Mayor Harrison is said to have always been known to his friends as a model youth. It is to be hoped that there are no more youths made after the same model.

THE same men who predicted that the extra session of Congress would not last over two weeks are now telling us just what sort of a winter we are to have. There's nothing like having a cinch on the future. provided always that the fature lives up to your cinch. AN esteemed tariff-for-revenue-only Democratic contemporary yesterday printed seventeen lines about the “Bright side of business.” and on another pace published a three-quarters column ac- count of the efforts to relieve the people who are starving as a result of Democrat- ic usininity and tariff tinkering.—Phila- delphia Press. NEw YORk'S menagerie continues to grow. It has now blind tigers and the political tiger; social lions by the score and the horse-killing African lion; sever- al oratorical monkeys; the Grant monu- ment; white elephant; a host of pen- wielding parrots and a drove of sleepless jackalls, to sav nothing of jackasses, ed- itorial and other kinds. UNDER the proposed new Democratic pension bill, veterans are to be furnished with a copy of the charges preferred against them, after which they must dis- prove them to the satisfaction of the bureau. In other words, a wounded pen- sioner must be considered guilty of hav- ing served in defense of his country be- fore hie can be proven innocent of having drawn a pension by frand.—Philadelphia Press. GOVERNOR PENNOYER seems determined to make a record second only to that of Altgeld, of Illinois, in releasing convicts. He has just pardoned five more.—Phila- delphia Press. Well, what of it? Haven't the two great Democratic Governors got a right to work in the interests of their party? How are the states of Illinois and Orgeon to be carried by the Democrats, at their next elections, if the convicts are not turned out of the penitentiaries in time? It’s a poor Democrat that won’t work for his party. Tre value of examinations in school work has become a debatable question in school circles, and the Press of late vears has been disposed to array itself against the old system of examinations and at- tack it as archaic and useless. Those who are most familiar with the system know that the peculiar construction of the child has much to do with his success on Examination day. A nervous, timid. shrinking child. cannot be expected to make a good display of his learning on such a critical occasion. No allowance is made for his personal factor. The worry and nervous tension for weeks be- fore the examination cannot be whole- some for many children.”—Philadelphia Press. THERE is hardly a man of the present generation who ever before saw flour and the general run of the necessaries of life sell so cheaply as they sell now. Some articles of merchandise are, of course, higher in price than they were a year ago, but not many of them can be num- bered among the actual necessaries of life. But what does all this benefit the laborer? All the works are running always the case during Democratic times, and with Democratic wages, the laboring classes are between the devil and the deep sea. When a man can't get the money to buy cheap flour, of what benefit is cheap fiour to him? Give us Republican prices szd Republi- can wages; we will then take care of our- selves and have an abundance of both the necessaries and the luxuries of life. The prosperous Republican times will re- turn at once, if the present Democratic administration will at once announce that the Republican tariff laws will not be tampered with. slack, as was Tur great Silver struggle in the United States is at last ended. and Tie STAR be- lieves it has ended in the right wav—in the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act. This is as we predicted, and we also predicted that the Republi- cans would do more toward repeal than the Democrats would, and so they did. The repeal was passed by a vote of 43 to 32, and of the 43 in favor ot the measure, 23 were Republicans and 20 were Demo- crats. This shows plainly that the Dem- ocrats at no time believed the lie of their own manufacture that the Sherman law was responsible for the present panic, for of those who voted against repeal, 22 were Democrats, 7 were Republicans and 8 were Populists. Now, as to the Sherman law and the repeal of the purchasing clause of the same, we do not believe that the former a solitary thing to do with do we believe that the had the panic, neither causing latter will relieve the stringency of the times. But the people wanted repeal, and as it is plain that it can do no harm to the country at large, it was right that repeal carried. Whether there is wis- dom in the measure as it passed, time will tell, and if it proves that there is wis- dom in it, the Republicans will be entitled to more credit for than the But mark our words, the panic is not ended. neither have we seen the worst of it. If the tar- iff smashing goes on, as threatened. then indeed will we see a panic that will make the whole country sick at heart. If a threatened dose of Tariff Reform has brought about such a panic as we now have, (and every intelligent man knows deep down in his heart that the threat alone did bring it about) what will the dose itself do? Wait and see. its passage Democrats dare lay claim to. own Republican Good Faith. From the New York Times (Dem.). In the situation at Washington as it has finally developed, it is a source of sincere gratification that the Republican Senators, with the exception of the few rabid Silver men, have acted in such good faith and with so clear a conception of their real duty. They knew that for the Democrats to refuse to follow the Honse and. instead, to adopt any compromise, would be fatal to the Democratic party and of corresponding advantage to the Republicans. But thev have steadily re- fused to lend their aid to any form of compromise and have stood ready to sup- port an amendment to the rules which would bring the Senate to a vote, though they knew that such a change would diminish their own power to resist the legislation of the majority in other di- rections. In this way the settlement of the financial becomes, as it should, the work, pot of a party, bat of the truest representatives ot all parties. question Poetry and Poetry So-called. A prominent writer remarks that it has become fashionable to write poetry that has no sense in connection; ject being to make the lines rhyme. The assertion and all that is needed to convinee one of the truth mark, is to read the home-made obituary poetry that frequently Cd in certain of our exchanges. Now, THE STAR does out of style, hence we publish the follow- ing poetical masterpiece: They say that Mary had a lamb, It's startling if it's true: The boy stood on the burning deck, The red, the white and blue. the great oh- is true, of the re- not wish to be John Gilpin was a citizen Of honor and renown; Three men went out one summer eve, Resolved to paint the town.

How Who Named “The Empire State?" The above question is often asked. but seldom properly answered. General Washington is the man to whom that and many other honors belong.
