County Solicitor Ulrlch is after the United States Attorneyship for Eastern Pennsylvania. The late Adjutant General Greenland was very popular with the National Guard of Pennsylvania. Libel suits are getttng very plentiful, the latest one on record Is against the Steel brothers ot Shamokln. Another cuckoo Congressman out of job has been rewarded by Presldeut Cleveland with a $7,000 a year position. Harrisburg was compared with Sodom and Gomorrah by one of its clergymen on Sunday lust, The appellation Is almost too true. The light is on for the Democratic chairmanship for this state, and it Is expected Mr. Harrity will laud his man Wright, of Lebtgh county. The State Legislature should go slow, or the Governor will have to call a halt. With only $10,000,000 at their disposal the state lawmakers have already mapped out expenditures that will cover $27,000,-000. The editor of the Philadelphia Press has no love for Senator Cameron, for two reasons. The founder ot the Press, John W. Foriney, was defeated for United States Senator by the senior Cameron, and the present proprietor wants to suc ceed the junior Cameron.
