The saloon license perative.

A city treasury empty, and yet there is hesitancy in raising any revenue by means of a saloon license, as every other city in the state is doing.

The Chicago dressed beef companies have decided to resume business in this state since Judge Johnston, of Laporte county, has decided that a state's right did not extend so far as to interfere with inter-state commerce. The judge is eminently correct. State lines are not a bar to the nation's gen' eral commercial welfare. It is only agAinst the foreigner who pays no part of the expense of government of this Nation, with a big N, that we ask protection.

THE CITY'S FINANCES.

The city council will meet to-night and be confronted with a statement from the city treasurer that the city has no money to meet current expenses. In short, we have reached the end of our rope.

What will the temporizers do now when the day of temporizing has passed? Who will be magnanimous and lift the city out of its dilemma? If there be any conscience injthose old members who sat idly by while the city was drifting on the rock of financial distress, some of them, indeed, enjoying themselves in a junket about the country on a fool's errand at cost of $1,000, they must now appreciate the misery of foolish expedients in financial predicaments.

No councilman can enter the piea mat he was not aware -of the approaching crisis. THE EXPRESS has been giving the warning almost daily since the first $20,000 of excess debt was voted for the High school building (a structure that will be useless in five years, when the High school pet will have passed out of favor) and all the people knew what the inevitable result would be unless there was a change of policy.

EXCHANGE ECHOES.

St Paul Pioneer Press:

The

United States gov

Globe Democrat: The appointment of Major James A. Connolly to the position of United States attorney, for the southern district of Illinois, is a favor bestowed upon one of the most capable and worthy Republicans In that state.

Norwalk Reflector: Any man who has the boldness to declare that he would not return a verdict of guilty In certain cases, though the law and evidence should require It, ought to be deprived of his citizenship, and sent back to "if country whence lie c&nie. Such ft mnn is not fitted to live in a country of liberty and laws.

Buffalo Courier (Dem.): In his time Mr. Phelps lias been the subject of much good-humored criticism owing to Certain characteristics and mannerisms but beyond all question he Is one of the ablest Republicans In public life, and there Is every reason to believe that he will serve the government creditably as minister to Berlin.

Inter-Ocean: We believe the time has come when all hyphenated nomenclatures of citizenship should be abolished. The phrases Irish-Ameri-can, Herman-American, Swedish-American and the like of them, should be heard no more. A man Is either citizen or an alien. If a citizen he "Swes supreme and absolute allegiance to the law and constitution of this country If an alien he must comply with them while resident here, or be punished For breach of them.

Rochester Democrat: It Is our proud boast that America Is "the home of the brave and the land of the free," but how long will It continue to enjoy this distinction If the criminals and vicious elements of the Old World are permitted to Invade our country faster than It can be assimilated by American Ideas, American Institutions and American force of character. It Is simply a problem In mathematics, but is to be hoped that the solution will not be long deferred.

Newark American: It Is not a question of per

sonal

likes or dislikes we are to settle but one of public weal or woe for our state and for the Republican party throughout the nation. On the re

sults

this fall In Ohio depend the election of a United States senator, the redisricting of the suite after the census of next year and through this the saving of the Republican majority In the

congress, and It becomes every true Republican patriot to be on guard and at work from now until a victory Is assured In November.

New York World: In reading the accounts of the Cronln tragedy In Chicago we hear a great deal about "Inner circles" of the Clan-na-(*ael, ••the triangle," etc. It seems that the Chicago cabal has been dominating the oi*anlzatlon. Is It any wonder that there Is talk of a reorganization of the great society? And shall we ever know more of the Inner circle which tried men for treason and sent dynamiters to England only to betray theni to British detectives when the landed it is so

GOSSIP ABOUT NOTABLES.

Senator Sawyer's globular preeenoe has been seen in the department* al most daily of late. Old politicians from the Badger state, who have kept notched sticks, say the old man has got more places for Wisconsin men than all the other senators and members of the state ever have secured. A story he told the other night to a party of friends shows what he thinks of his occupation. "When I was a boy 17 years old, I bought my time. For a hundred dollars my father let me off from working for him four years longer and I set out for a place in York state, where I knew I could get work. You may know there were no railroads in those days, and I was glad to get a ride part of the way on a steamboat on Lake Champlain. One night I got into Ticonderoga and had to wait until 2 o'clock in the morning for the down boat for Whitehall. I decided to go to bed, and asked the landlord his terms for supper, lodging, and calling me for- the boat. To call the boat he had to get up and diess and hang a lantern out on the pier, otherwise she would go on without stopping. 'Wall, young man,' he replied to my question, '1 wouldn't git up and hustle on my clothes an' go out out on thet pier at 2 o'clock in the night for ten dollars!' "I began to quake in my boots and think of walking twenty miles on my own account.

No, sir,' he went on. 'I wouldn't do it for $20 for nobody! But I alius hev bin doin' it for three shillin's, and I guess I'll hev to do it for you.' "That is the way1 feel about life in congress. I wouldn't do one-tenth part of what I go through for love or money. A big round hundred thousand a year would be no object at all for me at my age to go trudging around getting Tom Dick and Harry their jobs. But, after all, I keep on doing it for $5*000 a year, which a little more than pays my house rent,

Sir Julian Pauncefote is fond of old book-Btores, and spends a good deal of his high-salaried time mousing over dusty shelves in the second-hand book marts of the capital. He buyB sparing ly, however, and has clean-cut ideas of value. He likes particularly books on American peculiarities, and devours our humor eagerly. The minister's tall form, dressed in soft British gray, bending over piles of book-store rubbish, is a bit of humor in itself that he might approprite if he had the gift Burns sang about.

It is doubtful whether any chronicle or romance of the days of chivalry contains BO touching an instance of matrimonial devotion as that lately told of General Grant, remarks the New York Graphic. When the honors came upon the Grants, like sorrows to these of Denmark, not "single rows, but in battalions," the mistress of the White house began to renew the dream of her girlhood to have her cross-eyes straightened. Wishing to surprise the president, Mrs. Grant, telling nobody, sent for the most eminent oculist in America. He willingly promised to undertake the operation, which he assured would be easy to accomplish, and without danger. The good lady could not contain herself for joy, and, woman-like (am I right, mesdames?), gave way when she saw her husband and confided to him her secret, the pleasure she had in store for him. He looked wistfully into those dear eyes which had held him with tender gaze through all the trials of a checkered career, and said, in simple way: "Julia, I wish you would not change them. I

jmpajtetfiuany years since Mr. Cannon was making his periodical race for a congressional seat, when he was invited to attend a Democratic rally near Urbana, an important city in his district. The

Bloomington Eye says there were several brilliant speakers there, and they fairly made the welkin ring. After this galaxv of oratorical statesmen had concluded, and the throng was about ready to disperse, the chairman of the convention stepped forth on the raised platform and said: "I see some of the big guns of the Republican party are present with us to-day. We would be pleased to hear from them if they have anything to say."

Silence reigned supreme. It was the tacit understanding that Mr. Cannon should be drawn out, when those on the platform would rise en masse and leave, and be joined in the move by the vast audience. Mr. Cannon would then have only humiliation and empty benches to address*

Again the chairman raised his voice: "I see one of the big guns of the Republican party, the Hon. Joe Cannon, with us to-day. If he can defend his party and refute any of the arguments made by our speakers here to-day he will please do so, or forever hold his peace.

ThiB was more than the little wizard could stand. The banter had been too strong, and he rose to his feet. He raised his hand iira tragic attitude, and in a sharp, clear voice retorted:

"I have no small shot!'

It is not known to all who know Ben Tracy, the secretary of the navy, that he was a newspaper writer in this city a quarter of a century ago, though he was a Brooklynite even then and kept a law office, says the New York Sun. An oldtimer who worked with him in the editorial line on a morning paper at that period, sayB that he took up only very weighty themes in politics when he sat down with his pen in hand, and that he was very exact in his phraseology, and that he took the utmost care in preparing his manuscript for the printer. Ben was a close friend of Mr. Raymond, who was then the editor of the Times, and he was at one time spoken of as Mr. Raymond's successor in the editorial chair.

Mr. Depew has had some interesting experiences in his years of oratory. Once he left the manuscript of his speech, to be delivered at a charitable entertainment, in a train,and had to prepare another in his mind while riding in a carriage to the hall. For years he has been the orator at the St. Patrick's day dinner given annually at Delmonico's. On one occasion he was in Washington St. Patrick's day, and started for New York in the afternoon. He mapped out his speech on the train and was satisfied with the plan when he reached New York. It was then 10 o'clock and there was no time to be lost. He put on his dress suit in his carriage while rumbling over the cobblestones at a breakneck pace, and was pretty well shaken uo when he finally stepped into the sup-per-room. The dinner was over and the speeches bad begun. General U. S.

I Grant had just ariaenwhan Dqpmr I tared, and waa, aa usual, rather embarissed. Grant's opening sentence "If Chaunoey Depew stood in aqr I shoes, with hi* faculty for making speech, and I Mood in hi* I would be a happier man than I am now."

LOUIS K,'S BETfiOTHAL.

The English People Very Much Pleased With the Arrangement.

George W. Smalley writes as follows in his cable letter to the New York Tribune:

LONDON, June 29.—All other events of the week lose much of their interest to the English people in comparison with the engagement of the prince of Walee' eldest daughter to the earl of Fife. Con tinental politics are forgotten in the delight of knowing that no continental prince will carry off this young English princess, or whiph would be still less approved, come here to live as her husband. There is no doubt about the popularity of the manage. Lord Fife is himself popular, but the English people would certainly prefer any English nobleman of good character to any German prince. No man knows better than the prince of Wales the state of public opinion on this subject, and this engagement is probably his doing. People talk of the girl's preference, a marriage of pure affection, and so on. It may all be accepted, and is as true as such statements ever are in such cases, but the marriage of the eldest daughter of the heir apparent to the English throne is, and must be, an affair of state, and the prince has shown his keen appreciation of public opinion. His tact in such mat ters is unfailing. He is known to be an affectionate father, and those about him say that his mind has long been set on an English husband for this young lady. Lord Fife's seventeen years of seniority are hardly an obstacle, according to English ideas. He is an old friend, and some would say "pal" of the prince, and no man is better known in London. There is no better landlord in Scotland, where, however, with a shrewd eye to the future, he has sold large portions of his estates.

The queen is supposed to assent with reluctance to any non-royal marriage for any of her grandchildren. Her ideas on this subject are German, and her innumerable German kinsfolk, beginning with the German emperor, are sure to consider this marriage as derogating from royal dignity. Let them read, if they can, the English papers on the subject and learn how the matter is regarded here. "We have a little too much of the German alliance," says one of the

tenants.'

It is not true, but it shows the spirit. Another hails this union as a step toward that leveling up which is characteristic of these democratic days. Observe, however, that this champion of democracy is opposed to opening an international marriage market. Colonials? Yes. But an American? No. "In the interest of the empire's veto," says he, "must be placed upon American brides for English princes." This is, perhaps, in answer to Sir Edward Sullivan. Tbe other papers write in that ferver of loyal panegyric which incidents affecting royalty are apt to call forth.

It should be added that, mixed with the delight at the exclusion of German influence, there is no little English jealousy of Scotland. Was it not enough, ask these Southrons, that one of the queens daughters should have married a Scotch nobleman? Was there no English peer worthy of the Princess Louise of Wales' hand? But this is all in a minor key, hardly audible amid the general chorus of courtly congratulation.

A Soar «f the 8u, tlM MM'S OHgUutar, SUrt, That the Sun's rays, whioh kiss with golden face the prairie's green and flatter even the Rooky Mountain tops, are reflected with meet appreciation in the West, we offer evidence from our esteemed contemporary, the Chicago Herald, says the New York Sun. Listen to its song of the San and the flannel shirt:

"When slimmer day* are mighty, moist and torno. And salty rills run down the tickled forehead When^lroned collars scratch the smarting gulUntll it's rough and red as any mallet. Or ridge about tbe neck till one Is dull, sure. Who sees in man no semblance to a vulture When pious folks, in fact, Observe no gin in Wishing to hades everything that's linenImmortal Sun! I think of thee. Thou fancy Comm with her wierd, ecstatic necromancy, And pictures thee In skies of glory sailing. Thy flannel shirt about thee coolly trailing! Hence these poor lines. Oh, damn them not with laughter, I seek to seize the tall and follow after."

If, in his poetic rhapsody, Henry W. Grady takee any higher flight* than this bard of Chicago as he clings to the soaring flannel shirt tail, we believe that it is because the Chicago muse feels herself under greater obligations to preserve the practical side of her theme above the sports of rhetoric. The flannel shirt as an article of Bummer wear has had no worthier or more intelligent eulogy than this, though the Sun says it and we congratulate Chicago upon containing so admirable an expounder of the doctrine of comfort as the poet in the Herald office.

Hereabouts, so far, the summer hasn't been very imperative of flannel shirts. Perhaps its day is now upon us. But shirt or no shirt, we welcome all foreign recognition of its great qualities with an appreciation swelling not only with natural wisdom but with the conviction of experience.

WHAT MlY OCCUR.

In Western Pennsylvania and Kastern Ohio According to a New Jersey Scientist.

J. E. Thickston, a well known scientist and astronomer, living at Metuchen, N. J., while alluding to the Johnstown horror, said recently to aNew York Herald reporter that the dreadful catastrophe was nothing compared to what might have occurred. "The news from central Pennsylvania is awful," he said, "but this may be only a very little thing com pared with what may yet occur. Near and west of the Alleghenies, a great opening within the earth's crust must be made by the escape of natural gas. Will the earth settle and fill the empty places or will air pass in and thereby make it possible for the immense reservoirs of gas, stored away no one knows how far, to explode and make an upheaval? Many people believe there is gas enough under western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio to blow the country from Lake Erie to the Monongahela into promiscuous fragments. "When oil was struck at Oil Creek in 1859, timid people feared a collapse and a sinking of the oil field, but that danger was obviated by water running into the wells as the oil ran out. The dreaded vacuum never came as water took the place of the removed oil. It is not so in this case. Water is not filling up the gas wells except to a limited extent.

I am beginning to believe that a trashy dime novel is bi&tfcer society than the average man, and equally improving." We told you so. We said when men bfegan to employ girls in business offices that it wouldn't be long before they found us out.

Benny Folsom.

The persident is undoubtedly a humorist. While the Democrats have been removed from office by thousands, Cousin Benny Folsom is permitted to cling to his comfortable consulship at Sheffield. His appointment having apparently been brought about by Mrs. Cleveland, the Republican executive gallantly declares that it is good. The work of all the rest of the Democratic party, however, he views with distrust and incontinently consigns to the scrap-heap. Benny, however, having been vouched for by the ex-first lady of the land, is necessarily all right. Thus the chivalric president does not condemn the Democratic party utterly. He has an abiding faith in the statesmanship of Mrs. Cleveland.—[Chicago News.

Palatal state of Aflkln.

Mr. Sand Fly is in town, says the Chicago Herald. So is Mrs. Sand Fly and the children, especially the children. There are about nine thousand million of the latter. In a few daya there will be no more. The sand fly is supposed to originate in the sand which lines the banks of Lake Michigan. Last year there was a sand fly produced for each grain of sand.

Those who remember last year's visitations will not relish this bit of news. The sand fly captured the town and,held posseesion for three days. In life he was a nuisance in death a stench. The electric light had to be turned out. Tbe State street cable cars put- on snow plows to clear the tracks of dead and rotting sand flies. At night the air was full of them. It looked like a heavy snowstorm.

The sand fly does not live long, but he is a hustler while he is here. He puts in all his time skating through the air and butting his head against the first thing that comes in his way. He lays down the burden of life cheerfully and emite a fearful smell. The Band fly is here and we will have to get along as best we can. He dropped into Lincoln park Saturday night, took a crack at the electric lights and fluttered down Clark street. A female sand fly one day old has been known to have children and grandchildren inside of twenty-four hours. The sand fly is said to be of the same species as the ctsco fly, which appears at Geneva lake at about this time of the year.

Perhaps Fatally Injured by a Bunaway.

Mr. William Connelly and daughter who were thrown from, their wagon and seriously injured by their horses'beooming frightened at an engine on the E. & T. H. tracks at Poplar street, last week, were removed to their home near Youngstown yesterday. Miss Connelly was in a critical condition when taken home and there is now but little doubt that she received seriouB if not fatal internal injuries. The E. & T.

Miss Connelly, is her father's housekeeper, her mother having died when she was quite young.

Opium and Crime,

Here in thq East it is said to be liquor which creates a criminal class. The people of San Francisco, however, dread the opium habit—"hitting the pipe," as it is called—as much as they do whisky.

The Daily Examiner states that out of a little more than three hundred prisoners in the house of correction nearly one hundred are "opium fiends." These criminals are not Chinamen, mind you, but Americans. It is really a startling assertion that in any part of the Union one-third of the convicts are confirmed opium eaters and smokers. But opium and cocaine yield so handsome a profit that it ia difficult to enact a law either to prohibit or restrict their use. It is the same old dollar bill that rules E ist and West alike.—[New York Herald. »atlCsTl fiitate Transferror^-—
