The last accounts finds Congressman Cromer still running for governor. This Chadwick business is getting rather tame. Let’s start something. It is now Grandpa Fairbanks, this new title Coming to the vicepresident by the birth of a grandchild. This should be emphasized in bold face type, but we are pushed for time. Governor elect Hanley sounds a note of warning to those who are clammering for a few crusty spoils, that no removals in our state institutions are contemplated, where efficiency is the roeord of officials, Hon. Union B Hunt, the Win Chester republican who measures up well both in avoirdupois and in mental proclivities, is slated for private secretary to Governor-elect Hanley. Such a selection smacks of merit, and should it lie true, means added dignity to the working force at the office of chief executive. The Hinshaw pardon s to be considered today, and between man and man and the devil take the hindermost, we believe Mr. Hinshaw deserves to win out. While he is paying the penalty for a terrible cirme, yet his conviction was secured entirely through circumstantial evidence. Knowing the man as we do, and still having a few sparks of faith inhumanity, we d > not believe him capable of such a henious crime.

Postmaster Brittson can draw a fresh breath of relief by an announcement from Postmaster General Wynne, that no good postmaster may fear to lose his place, ’ because he has been postmaster either four or eight years. He even goes further by saying that every good officer will be re-ap-pointed. The best thing the democratic leaders can possibly do is to keep J still. A bottle of wine will never have a bead on it if we continually open it to examine the effervescence. Absolute silence for the next year or two on the part of Messrs. Parker, Teller, Bryan Hill Taggart, Belmont, Harrison, Tillman and all the rest would be a blessed boon to the party that has just been defeated. Let the people be quietly heard from, after being noisily heard from. Cicero says that the wisdom of the unlearned is preferable to the folly of the loquacious. The first injury suffered by those who talked too much is that they never hear other people’s voices. Too much talk of the lips tendeth not only to penury but to ignorance.—Warsaw Union.
