Last Sunday a week Grover Cleveland went fishing with a congenial party. What a howl would have gone up had a Republican President desecrated the Sabbath in this way ! "Its all right he's a Dimekrat." m A number of notaries-public throughout the Slate have sent their resignations to the Governor on account of the recent ruling by the Attorney General that a notarypublio can not hold another office of trust and profit. There are many notaries acting illegally, according to the ruling referred to. In California a man was sent to prison six months for "battery," the victim being his wife. Gov. Stoneman has just pardoned him on the ground that his wife was insane. It also appears that the wretch had pounded his wife over

the head until he had driven her insane, he being drunk as a rule.

The boy who had murdered fath

er and mother asked the clemency

of the court because be was a "poor

orphan" would have been happy

if he bad met Governor Stoneman.

There is a complaint in West

era Nebraska that there is too much

rain this year. Thi9 is a novel complaint. Ten years ago it was

not thouerht the laree prairies west

of the center of the State would ev

er amount to anything save a graz

ing country, owing to the dearth of,

. Eaeh year settlements have

crowded westward and the rain belt

has followed them. So rapid has been this move that to-day we hear

the complaint of too much rain in

the western part of the State. Ten

years more and Nebraska will be a

land of wealth. The thoughtless and reckless

manner in which people sign their

names, says the Chicago Tribune, to petitions for the release of a criminal from jail or for the ap

pointment of rascals to offices, calls loudly for some Legislation

demanding that a petitioner who

signs his name to such documents

shall first take a solemn oath that

his endorsement is genuine and that there is a sincerity in his recom

mendations prompted by higher motives than either personal ag

grandizement or political preferment. For fear of offending a par

tisan or through dread of snubbing

a capitalist men very foolishly affix

their signatures to petitions for

which they have not the slightest

sympathy. All they ask is an in

vitation to sign, and whether it be "for" a public benefit or "against" it : to remove a social obstacle or

create one, they seldom hesitate.

This may be called "unselfish,

"public spirited" or something else

It is, nevertheless, a damnable de

ceit against which sooiety should

recoil with the same horror as it

does from a snake in the grass.

John Martin, in the Recorder's

office, makes a specialty of abstract

ing, and writing deeds and mortv. i 1

eraeres. As an abstracter ne nag

no superior, being careful and cor

rect. In fact his familiarity with the records gives assurance of cor

rectness. His work is always done

promptly and well, and he solicits

business in his line.

-A California Judge has decid

ed that a man cannot recover dam

ages from parents who ejected him

from tueir house tor frightening their baby into spasms while attempting to kiss-it. Good for him!

The baby has been put upon too

long. Why should he be kissed by

old and young, and by invalids of

every name and variety, whether

he will or no, and nobody rise and protest? Let it be known that the

man or woman who kisses a baby

hereafter, without first obtaining

the consent of the baby and the ba

by's guardians, must do it at his own risk, and not altogether at the

risk of the baby, as hitherto.

On the summit of Mount

is only awaiting a great telescope to be ready for use. This observa

tory was brought into existence by the will of an eccentric California millionaire named Lick. The

it not for the unfortunate failure of the glass makers to produce a

piece of crown glass of the size and perfection for the object of the tele

An exchange gives the lollowing reasons why one turns to the right in passing a team on the road:

Our ancestors drove oxen as a usual thing. In driving an ox team the driver walks on the left of the team, so that he can handle the goad or whip with his right hand. In meeting a wagon each driver would turn to the right, so that he could be between his own oxen aud those of the other wagon.
