THURSDAY JANUARY 9 1890.
The democracy are conceding the
election of republican senators in Mon-
tana but they are doing it very un-
graciously.
— —♦ ♦ . ... .
The all absorbing democratic ques-
tion: “Hill or Cleveland?” To the re-
publican it matters not which. The
star of empire and of destiny stands
over the cradle of either.
The New York Mugwumps who
look for the defeat of Senator Allison
at the hands of the lowa legislature
are loooking for more than they will
see for some years to come.
Annexation schemes whether
they refer to Cuba California or Can-
ada can be given the go by with per-
fect impunity. If there are any two
countries on earth the United States
had better be without than others
they are Cuba and Southern Califor-
nia. The men who advocate annex-
ation are working it tine for some per-
sonal end.
When la grippe gets its grip on a
man ou whom any other disease has
already a grip la grippe will hang to
him like grim death to a defunct
African. La grippe is harmless to a
constitution thoroughly sound but it
finds the weaK points in a man’s anat-
omy with a certainty that is truly ap-
palling.
It is getting too late to pray for cold
weather in Texas now. The sap is
running in the trees and cold weath-
er sufficient to check the flow will se-
riously damage fruit prospects. The
weather clerk Is respectfully notified
that Southwest Texas wants nothing
lower than 40 Fahrenheit.
The English trusts and combines
are in many instances American
schemes to get an option on properties
and sell out to foreign capitalists at an
advance. They won’t hold water and
cannot be accepted as showing the
tendency of English capital to invest
in United States properties.
The Louisiana Historical association
resents the manuer in which General
Beauregard tenders his resignation as
a member of the governing board of
that body. He was notified to attend
the meeting aud wrote his resigna-
tion on the reverse side of his invita-
tion stating that he could not at-
tend. The resignation was referred
for action.
The death of the dowager Empress
Augusta has revealed how deep a
hold the old regime and those who
were so Intimately connected it have
in the hearts of the German people.
—Masury'B liquid paints will cover
more surface last longer and fade

The Investor’s Guardian of Lon-
don England in a leader upon the
Brazilian position takes strong re-
publican ground for an imperial jour-
nal aud thinks that the feeling against
imperialism in Brazil must have been
very strong to admit of such a revo-
lution. The Guardian says in conclu-
sion:
“Whilst everyone here will sympa-
thize with the late imperial family of
Brazil distinguished as it is by many
noble characteristics it must yet be
the almost universal wish that the
incipient prosperity of that vast coun-
try shall not be nipped in the bud by
interueciue strife which would be
destructive of all enterprise as well as
of the accumulated stores of wealth.
Of course much is said about the mili-
tary character of the revolt but the
soldiery is so few and we were going
to say so inefficient that it would
seem to be incredible for such united
action towards th? establishment of a
republic Could have taken p!*«e
amongst large provinces widely sepa-
rated from each other unless a com-
mon feeling against imperialism and
towards equality had not been al-
ready strongly developed.”
This language is very suggestive
coming from the source it does and
may be taken as showing conclusive-
ly how the leaven of republicanism is
spreading all over the imperial east.
The political pot in Texas shows no
signs of simmering as yet The can-
didates are very quietly* collecting
fuel to raise the steam when the time
comes. San Antonio will be a good
place to test the relative merits of the
steam guages and generators.
The Cronin case Is not yet ended.
An application for new trial comes
up next week. If the first trial as so
frequently said laid the jury system
out cold what may not be expected if
a second trial is granted. The pros-
pects for that second trial however
are not brilliant.
The Holiday Edition of the Helena
Montana Journal reaches the Light
It is a sixteen page six column unil-
lustrated edition full of valuable in-
formation concerning Helena and the
new state of Montana.
A Philadelphia undertaker who has
much uss for his telephone has had
it rigged up as a dumb waiter arrange-
ment so he can answer a call from any
part of the house.
The thickest octavo volume in the
world known is the last edition of
Whitaker’s “Reference Catalogue of
English Literature.” This book
which weighs twelve poundsis eleven
inches in thickness.
The chief inspector of police in New
York receives a salary of f-5000 and
the three other inspectors receive
53500 each. Tne first deputy assis-
tant to the corporation counsel how-
ever gets $6000 aud his two associ-
ates $5500 each.
Miss Ella Green is the prettiest
drummer on the road. She is travel-
ing for a St. Louis paint house that
employs eighteen travelers and re-
ceives the highest salary of any of
them. She has saved money enough
to buy a hotel at Topeka Kas.
A pocket typewriter is shortly to be
offered to the British public. The re-
tail price will be under ten shillings.
It measures three and a half inches
by three inches and weighs about four
ounces. Though so small it is not a
mere toy.
Capt. H. Smith of Hagerstown
Md. who died recently leaving a
handsome property directed iu hie
will that his funeral expenses should
not exceed $3O and that his remains
be conveyed to the buirial place in a
spring wagon. It directed that his
body be wrapped in cloth packed in
unslacked lime and that $5 be set
aside for some one to pour water into
his coffin until the lime cremates the
body.
