John Monevmakeh is what, they
now call the pious fraud in Harri-
son's cabinet.
It there is any merit in. Dr.
Browu-Sequard's elixir some of the
political hacks in Texa.s should try
it.
Emma Abbott has contracted for
an $85,000 monument to be erected
over her husband's grave at.Glou-
cester, Mass.
Pension JFraud Tanxeb is iaying
the wires to secure his election as
commander of the Grand Army of
the Republic
The Chicago Herald says that Mr.
Wanamaker's scheme—-an office with
a suit of clothes—appears to beat
the Waterbury watch plan.
Tht Epoch thinks that the radical
weakness of the present administra-
tion is that its members arc too
easily satisfied with themselves
An eminent divine admits that
there is no bible authority against
, gambling. Still we do not approve
of church lotteries and grab-bag
games.

The notorious Warmoth has been
appointed collector of customs at
New Orleans. This is all that was
.needed to strengthen the democracy
ofthe Pelican state.
The appointment of Cuney proves
•a firebrand in the camp of the white
republican club at Houston, and
resolutions condemning the action
of Harrison are being prepared.
It is announced that the coming
encampment of the Grand Army of
iho Republic will probably be a fail
ore owing to the refusal of the rail-
roads to deadhead fciio visitors.
Martin Borke, the Cronin suspect
has been safely brought back from
Manitoba and lodged in jail at
Chicago The suspected parties
will be tried together and the date
is set for August 26.
Boot,anger's influence over the
French seems to be at last on the
wane .It was hardly to.be expectec
that such impulsive enthusiasts as
they are noted for being could di
vide tlieir affections between him
and Col. BuffaloJBill.
On Tuesdty the Austin-Statesman
came out in a new suit from top to
bottom, and now possesses the mos
attractive head-dress of any paper
in the slr.te. The Statesman de
serves prosperity and there are evi
dences that it is prospering.
The Northern papers generally
condemn the ungrateful and foolish
attack of Mrs. Canfield, the Kansas
schoolina'rm, on Southern society
and civilization, and resent it as a
reflection on the manners and good-
breeding of Northern ladies.
The republican party will have
many sins to answer for in the next
national campaign. It has been on
the defensive from the beginning of
the present administration, and it
ought to be no very difficult matter
for the democratic party to put it
on the run.
THE PRIZEFIGHTEES' TEI-
AL.
Jake Kiliain, the remaining prin-
cipal in the Sullivan-Kilrain mill,
who managed to elude the offioers a
little longer than did his victor, was
arrested on the Virginia coast by .the
Mississippi detective near Norfolk
on Monday, and he and Sullivan will
appear for trial before the courts of
Mississippi on the 12th for engag-
ing in the crime of prize-fighting in
violation of -the laws of that state
and in contempt of the governor's
proclamation warning them against
it. The laws of Mississippi provide
a penalty of a fine not exceeding
five hundred dollars or imprison-
ment not txoeeding twelve month3,
or both such.fine and imprisonment
for engaging in prize-fighting.
When Gov. .Lowry and Gov. Nich-
olls of Louisiana issued their proc
lainatious and called out the military
a great deal of sport was made of
them for failing to prevent the prize
fight. But when Gov. Lowry ex-
pressed his determination to arrest
the gang and bring them finally to
justice and employed detectives to
hunt them up the laugh was on the
other side and the papers and bet-
ter classes of citizens all over the
country expressed admiration at the
course pursued by him. The gov-
ernor is no longer made the butt of
jest among the papers, and the
sports and toughs themselves are
sadly crestfallen But there is imi-. uo,, w ^ H.„-
nent danger of the proceedings yet hlem of improvement in his herd
being turned into a farce if the gov- cows and writes his conclusions
, , , , . ,, b to the Elmira Club. He says:

Truly this is the jear of unparal-

Only a few weeks ago the terrible
destruction of property at Seattle,
"Washington Territory, was reported
and now Spokane Falls, also in that
territory, is visited by fire, which en-
tails millions of losses.
No visible effects of Harrison s
Southern policy in appointing negro
postmasters who are enable to read
and write, are yet apparent, unless
to increase the democratic vote. A

tucky on Monday and the demo-
cratic cand'datereceived an increased
majority.
