Now comes the announcement that saloon reform has struck Fort Wayne. > _____________ lhe deficit will amount to about $150,000,000 by the end of the fiscal year, but perhaps soe plan may be evolved whereby the members of the Ananias Club may be assessed $3 apiece and the deficit thereby made good.—Commoner. The fact that Andrew Carnegie has contributed $150,000 toward the purification of Pittsburg affords the suggestion that right there is an opportunity for Mr. Carnegie to die poof. It will take an awful bunch of money to purify that towm. The inauguration Monday, the caucus for United States senator Wednesday, and then we will have to subside and be content with a plain old legislative grind, broken occasionally with a few hot wires from Washington. How dull and monotonous it will be. That was a great electrical shock that Governor Hanly gave the members of the legislature when he read that deep and dark message. It again told of the accomplishments of the once Hon. and now just plain J. Frank. He retires Monday and already you can sort ’er feel the relief that is bound to come. « Whatever else may be said, the skirmish going on within the Democratic ranks, and especially its legislative ranks, for the senatorial toga, is but a geneltemanly disagreement; an honorable race among honorable men. Dignity marks th effort of every candidate, and the Democratic party should feel honored with its leaders and the several parts as being played by them.
