The tarid is a tax, “and don’t you forget it." Gov. Hill refused to recognize requisition papers from the usurping republican governor of Connecticut. The republican congress cleaned outth e surplus it found in the treasury and created a big deficiency to take its place. President Harrison has appointed J. H. Beatty district judge for Idaho, notwithstanding his rejection by the Senate. The tin-plate factories heralded every few days by the republican press do not materialize for the rea-on that somebody fails to supply the tin. The Carnegies now furnish copy to the republican papers through the “New York Press.” The rules inserted bottom side up to emphasize the lies manufactured for the occasion give them an obituaricai appearance. Our Billy Owen is slated for the new office of commissioner of immigration. The bill creating the office is the only child begotten by Billy during all his years in Congress. A salary of $4,000 is attached to the office. The shipping subsidy crowd charge the defeat of the bill to Reed. Reed did all in his power for the would-be robbers, and now that he is down it is ungenerous in them to jump upon him. It but reveals the ungenerous and ungrateful nature of the brutes.

He says it “Forecasts freer trade relations,” and adds that It is a protest against blocking the highways of commerce: 5-hat the arriers which stand in the way of a free interchange of commodities must be removed!" McKinley, Bill, will never forgive Butterworth for this admission and declaration. — — At the first session of the Republican congress just adjoured they created 1,354 new offices at an annual cost of $1,450,348, and appropriated for salaries which were not specific 1 the further sum of $1,446,500. The second session added several hundred new offices to the civil list, some of them with salaries of $6,000 eaoh, and increased the salaries of various officials already in offioe.

Ben Harrison has appointed a disreputable negro postmaster at Vioksburg, Mississippi. Why don’t he appoint of that class, calibre and standing to offioe in northern cities? He knows fall well he has no favors to hope for from the south, and that if a revolt could be induced to follow his act it might be turned to account iD He manufacture of politica l buncomba in the north, He knows further that should he practioe such tactics in the north his own party friends would repudiate him. Benny is an exceedingly small potato.
