KANSAS CITY Journal: All the little Grover Clevelands are two years old or more.
THE city council is just waiting for the State laws to be published to wipe out the quart shops.
CUBA is a little larger than Ohio, and has only 1,600,000 inhabitants. Annexed to the United States its population would double in ten years.
GRKSHAM'S vigorous dispatch with regard to the Allianca incident goes to show that there is still a bit of the old Republican leaven in his system.
MH. CLKVKI.ANM could have dispensed with congratulations on his birthday. He received an abundant supply of thein on the day Congress adjourned.
THE chief naval events of the last two years have been instrumental merely in showing that the great men-of-war can develop a marvelous speed in sinking.
THOSE complaining of the backward Spring should remember that this time last year the trees had all budded out —and their foliage nipped by the inevitable March frosts.
MKS. PARET, wife of Bishop Paret of Maryland, is forming a society in Baltimore, the members of which will be pledged to wear none but ostrich feathers in their hats.
TWENTY-SIX States and Territories thus far have appointed commissions on national uniformity of law, and the movement has reached a point where its future usefulness is assured.
CHICAGO Tribune. It is not likely there will be any demand from Africa for satisfaction for the killing of those negroes at New Orleans. The negro appears to be a man without a country.
THERE will be no special session of Congress, or any other political misfortune to interfere with business this year. The situation is free from all sources of danger and growing better "every day.
THE worst thing about the exclusion of American products from foreign markets is that the Administration does not dare to retaliate, because it can not afford to lose any of the revenue from imports.
SECRETARY GRESHAM'S illness is to be deplored, of course, but the fact remains that even when he is the best of health he lacks a good deal of being the right man in the right place.
I WHILE the verdict in the Yeagley case is unsatisfactorily light, it nevertheless is in accordance with the evidence. A jury should not be censured for not acting on "general principles."
ST. LOUIS Globe Democrat: The Governor of Indiana should either send in his veto messages a little earlier in the session or orgauize a team of private secretaries to act as a flying wedge in delivering his communications.
A PLEASING feature of this gold drift to the Treasury is that the gold which gets in sticks. This means that the scare has ended. Business confidence is returning, and those long-wished-for "better times" are close at hand.
THE President reached the age of 58 on the 18th inst., and it needs no mindreader to guess that among his pleasant thoughts during the day was the assurance that he will not have to head the Democratic ticket in 1896.
THE talk of Republican opposition to Reed for Speaker is all bosh, of course. He will be elected by a practically unanimous vote of his party and he will wield the gavel in such a way as to make things constantly uncomfort able for the Democrats.
LAFAYETTE Courier: A dramaticised version of "Trilby" has been presented in Boston to the satisfaction of critics and theater-goers alike, but its popularity will be short-lived, no doubt. "Trilby" is a fad on par with the blue grass theory, and its days are already numbered.
THE bill in New York to provide for the public flogging of men guilty of beating women or children under 16 years of age was defeated by a very narrow margin. It passed unanimously in the Senate, but was defeated in the Assembly by 58 to 53. The special object of the bill was to punish wifebeaters.
CHICAGO Inter-Ocean: The indignant citizens of Forsythe, Ga., lynched a negro one day last week for insulting two ladies. The Atlanta Journal, edited by Hoke Smith, would not misrepresent the people of Forsythe, and it says that while Mrs. Waller and Mrs. Hart were walking along the public road they saw the negro "apparently hiding in a fence corner." Mrs. Waller asked what he was doing there, when he replied: "None of your business.' The ladies gave the alarm and J. W. McElmuny ran to their rescue. The negro was arrested, a chain placed around his neck, and the other end fastened to the rear of a bnggy. The bailiffs then drove off rapidly to Forsythe to lock him up. The negro had to run as fast as the horse or he choked to death, but after he had kept the pace for several miles he was taken from the baliffs and hanged to a tree and his body riddled with bullets. The coroner's jury found that the came to his death from the hands of parties unknown, though it is possible that some of the jurors were members of the mob. A better verdict would have been that the negro "met just retribution at the hands of the best citizens for telling Mrs. Waller that it was none of her business."'
THE Island of Formosa, which China cedes to Japan, contains 14,082 square miles, or about one-third the area of Cuba. This is an addition of some importance to Japan, whose territory, consisting of about 3850 islands, is less than that of California. Formosa is a very fertile island, with many hothouse plants growing wild, and a large number of valuable trees, from one of which rice paper has long been made. The opening of the island to an enterprising race, who will not close it to friendly foreign visitors, will be quite an event to the scientific as well as the commercial world. Forty-three distinct species of birds are found in Formosa, though the dangerous wild animals are few. The leading productions are tea, sugar, coal, turmeric, rice, sweet potatoes, rattan, grasses, tobacco and timber. The inhabitants, chiefly Chinese and natives, number less than 2,000,000, and there are still unconquered tribes of aboriginal savages in the mountains. Japan invaded Formosa in 1874, but withdrew upon China agreeing to check the pirates who made it their headquarters.
TEXAS farmers in the Pecos valley are solving the cotton problem by abandoning its culture and devoting their attention to canaigre. The plant will grow anywhere in the cotton belt and is very profitable at present prices, the crop per acre being worth about $200, and the cost of planting and cultivating being about the same as that of the sweet potato crop. It is cultivated for the roots, which produce from 25 to 35 per cent, of tannic acid, or about three times as much as much as oak or hemlock bark. The tannic acid from the canaigre is exceptionally valuable for tanning fine leathers, and is also used as a dye stuff. At present the demand is far in excess of the supply and will probably continue so for years to come.
INDIANAPOLIS Journal-. Those persons who berate the late Legislature and who berate every legislature because it does not indorse some pet scheme of their own ignore the fact that the tax levy for State purposes was reduced from 32 to 30 1-G cents on each $100, a reduction of $238,330, Special appropriations were also made for the State Soldiers' Home and the Chickamauga monuments, &115,000j which are extra expenditures for this year
THE Monroe Doctrine as a sound principle is considerably strengthened by the present condition of Cuba and Newfoundland, both European colonies. One is starving, and the other is rendered desperate by extreme taxation and the rule of foreign autocrats.
IF Spain isn't careful, she will make it necessary for us to take Cuba away from her in order to deprive her of pretexts for firing on our flag.
IT is safe to say that the Allianca matter pleases Carlisle, because it serves to divert public attention from the Treasury deficits.
A CATHOLIC clergyman in Washington declared from his pulpit on Sunday last that the Irish were the chosen people of God.
CHICAGO Tribune: As to that indemnity perhaps Japan would be willing to take a part of it out in washing.
