I imagine that the advertising department of a newspaper is the dull part of it should have for an I audience some time, if such a thing were among human possibilities, the entire list of subscribers and I readers of a healthy and lively lo- ' cai paper. The observer would find at least half of them turning away from the news matter to see j what Mr. Bargain was otfering them or what Mr. Cash was making a drive on for tomorrow. Then the comment would begin, and the merchant’s enterprise would receive due consideration and digestion along with the latest burglar ies, locals, divorces, accidents and tbe regular news features of the paper. In an interview with the leading managing editors of the country recently nearly all of them referred to the rapidly growing advertisement departments ot their

Ctii« auu and St. Louis arc trying it today. The municipal elections there are being strongly waged, and the fights are bitter.

There were a lor of small elections in several states yesterday and following the general trend of the latest political fad, they all went republican.

Charlie Wilson of the Lafayette Courier, should stay right wliere iie is. There are inaiiy newspaper men in the state who like to run a pair of scissors, with due credit, through Mr. Wilson’s product, w ho would hate to see him cast aside the high and exulting profession of newspaperdom lor the fleeting phantom of politics. Readers of advertisements arc multiplying rapidly, and now the advertising department of a newspaper receives about the same amount of recognition as docs the news part, Well written, neatly displayed ads. quoting values or extolling the especial fitness of certain brands of goods tell storii s that are exceedingly interesting to careful readers.

If all the poor actors in the coun-

try follow the example set by those two in New York recently, the un dertakers will be kept busy for sev eral months. A good actor is not out of work long, but there are thousands of poor actors who should never have a job at that kind of work. They should get into something nearer their kite! Too many barn stormers think they can act, and because the people do not fall into the same error, they grow desperate and go to shooting themselves. There is no great harm to any one except themselves in that method, but they could better serve their country by taking

up some other employment.

The latest scheme to boom Mr. Cleveland is to have him make a speech at Chicago in the near future; it has not been fully

developed yet.

Much uneasiness has been caused in ollieial circles by a report that the supreme court will by a vote of five to three decide the income tax to be unconstitutional, More than the usual attention i- given this report because of the recent advance leakings of impor-

So general is this expectation that the republicans have been discussing the make-up of this committee, and have, informally, of course, arrived at some conclusions. Senator Morrill, of Vermont, “the father” of the senate, would he under the usual rule the next cliair-

The printers on the Journal of the Knights of Labor are on a strike. That paper is the official organ of the Knights ot Labor, and it seems extremely funny that its printers should strike. The action shows that the boss of the K. of L. has a rather grinding disposition himself or else he doesn't know bow to manage his own knights.

may be considered as settled that Mr. Sherman will be chairman, if any change is made. It is probable that the membership of the committee will lie increased from eleven to thirteen, anil that Senators Cameron, of Pennsylvania, and Platt, of Connecticut, will be members, the former being the choice of the silver men for the place left vacant by the retirement of McPherson, of New Jersey. Verily, times have changed. Fp to tiie Cleveland regime it was tbe habit of nearly every president to walk about the streets of Washington, just as any other citizen in search of a little healthful exercise would do, but the memory <>f the public is short, and the other day when Mr. Cleveland actually walked from the white house to the residence of Secretary Herbert, about four squares away, the local papers made a sensation out of it: whielt shows the deteriorating effect of having a president who shuts himself up, surrounded by sentry boxes and detectives, and is afraid to venture out among the people. Speaking r.f changes, one that was very amusing 'vn- hrou'dif to the ottention of the pubiie by an overtrutbfiil speaker at one of the sessions of the Southern Metiioikisl. conference for the Baltimore district, now sitting in Washington. Mr. Cleveland sent an invitation to the members of the conference and their families to attend a special reception at the white house, and when if was laid before the conference one of its members—Rev. .1.

slice of the invitation and calling attention to the fact that the last time this conference met in Washington— 1875—it had refused a similar invitation from President Grant, on the ground that the conference wished to keep as far its possible troni politics. Notwithstanding Mr. Tongue’s remarks about the inconsistence of such action he was promptly hooted down, and Mr. Cleveland’s invitation accepted. Sensible people, regardless of their polities or their religion, can only laugh at such silly doings on the part of those who assume to he leaders and teachers of their respective congregations. It seems a little queer that the administration should actually he apologizing ftfr the presence of Admiral Meade’s licet in Central American waters at this time. It may be true that the presence of the ships is accidental— that is probably the only way this administration can do the right thing— but it is timely, in view of the bulldozing attitude of Kngland town ids Nicantugua; and instead of feeling disposed to explain or apologue therefor, it might have been supposed that the administration would have been only to glad to have claimed credit for having them there. But nobody can tell what this administration will do about anything.
