HOPE REPUBLICAN. By Jay C. Smith. HOPE INDIANA Gold brick and "green goods” men continue to rope in the victims who arc too poor to take the papers. The Illinois Legislature has a bill under consideration to compel the trimming of all hedges along highways. The colored teachers of Atlanta, 6a., adopted eulogistic resolutions concerning’ the elevation of Hoke Smith to the Cabinet. As a ship canal the Panama ditch was a failure, hat as a "drain” it was a huge success in carrying oil' the surplus qfAalth of the French people. / Mr. GhAu, stone claims from descon t Henry HI., of England and Robert P /i e of Scotland. This fact should / / count against him in the popular x dimation. He is "a man for a. that,” The Russian military authorities have rejected one-half of the new Lebel rifles purchased for the army, and it will take three years to supply the Char’s battalions with perfect guns. The Emperor of Germany likes to see the Empress wear an apron, and it is supposed that this preference will cause that article, of feminine apparel to be much in vogue in the Fatherland. Tftt; collapse of the Kansas revolution is also attributed to heart failure, In reality the failure of the Populist cause was directly attributable to rank treason on one side and cowardice on the other. A Long Island sculptor will carve a statue of a mythological goddess from butter for th» World’s Fair, She will be a Goddess of Greece in fact, and if made of genuine butter will be very "fresh” for a time at least. The Ohio Governorship seems to be a sort of financial hoodoo. Bishop, Hcadly, and Campbell were very unfortunate in a business way while in that office, and now McKinley’s woes are making the chair of state a very uncomfortable resting place. The reporters who told “why v. ' cv Ga>,id was elected” have been out-hue by the scribes who have furnished "bottom facts” in the Kansas quarrel. Trust the Associated Press for "fairy” tales and don’t worry yourself reading Munchausen or the Arabian Nights. The American end of the Home Rule party arc not altogether pleased with Gladstone’s Home Rule bill, hut will try to he satisfied with its provisions. This being the case, Mr. Gla .lone can now proceed to strugrid” the British lion in his atto loosen his grip on the Irish <e Smith, Secretary of the Inf, has been joked about his (until he doubtless wishes that ithcr had been somebody else, e” is no joke, nor it is a pet but was the name of his ma- ; ancestor before she lost her ity by marrying Smith pore.

j States "endure thrills they havs I rather than to'fly A. those they know ( not of.” A PiTTsminb widower who wanted a wife "real bad” carried on a correspondence through a matrimonial bureau a successful issue, and on the "round up” found himself engaged to his own daughter. Blue ruin reigned in that household. The ‘‘old man” was terribly cut up and went out and climbed some hills, while the daughter cried all night for the wasted affection lavished on her unknown lover. Prof. Wiggins, the Canadian weather prophet, accuses Jupiter and Mars of a conspiracy which has resulted in bringing to the earth the coldest weather that has been known in the Northern hemisphere for many years. He. saw them together on the night of the 25th of January and is fully convinced that they have set up a jobon us. It is always a satisfaction to be able to “lay” our troubles on to somebody, and the Professor willl please accept our thanks for locating the offenders who have so grievously punished us. Ward McAllister, boss of the swell Four Hundred of New York, in contemplation of the proposed visit of the Prince of Wales, has evolved a code for the instruction of those who 1 feel like extending the hospitality of their hoipes to the Prince. It seems that to be in "good form” certain rules of etiquette are necessary in entertaining a royal guest. It is not certainly known that the Prince will “board round.” but those of our readers who desire to do the thing properly should opporutnity offer will do well to write Mac at New York for full instructions. Vandals in the West have destroyed vast tracts of sugar maple trees by hacking them with the ax year after year to draw off the sap rather than to tap them in the proper manner. Such waste is characteristic of new countries. The lavish supplies with which nature has endowed a timbered country are never fully appreciated until they been dissipated by the Improvidence of pioneers. Millions of dollars were thrown away by the early settlers of Indiana when they burned the almost inexhaustible supplies of walnut timber in great heaps to get it out of the way. The financial ruin of Gov. McKinley has brought to him the sympathy of the people without regard to party lines. The devotion of Mrs. McKinley in bravely sacrificing her own private fortune to meet the demands of the (Governor’s creditors has been the subject of much favorable comment. While the sacrifice of the accummulations of a life time of honorable effort, to pay the debts of a defaulting friend, is sad to contemplate;, yet it is more than prob,able that the circumstances will in a very few years have the effect of increasing the Governor’s wealth to a point far beyond what it would have attained in the regular course of business. The term "Mugwump” is derived from an Indian dialect, and originally was used to designate an aborigine who deemed himself superior to his fellows. The word came into prominence during the campaign of 1884, and was applied to those Republicans who refused to support Mr. Blaine. A. writer in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat asserts, however, that in reality Mr. Blaine was a Mugwump himself in 1882, and was responsible for the defeat of Folger for Governor of New York in that • year by Cleveland by the phenomenal majority of 193,000, thus bringing Cleveland into prominence, and in effect bringing about his own defeat which followed two years later» An Astonished Texan, Texas Siftings. "What’s that?” asked a long-haired Texan i’n a Bowery restaurant, point- ! ing to ,a diminutive beefsteak the waiter had just placed before him. "It’s the beefsteak, sir, that you ordered a while ago,” replied the waiter. "So that’s beef, is it? I have seen a heap of beef in my life, but I’ll be doggoned if I ever I saw as little as that at one time in my life before. You don’t tell me they killed a Whole beef just to get that steak!” Warren county, Iowa, has a petrified shark.

THE FAIR pEX. Miss Sydney Randle, of the Georgia Normal and Industrial College, junior class, has been appointed Postmistress of the House of Representatives at Atlanta at $4 per day. She is the first woman appointed as Postmaster to this Legislature. Mrs. General Ulysses S. Grant is an active lady of about70 years. Af present Mrs. Giant is in California visiting her son, but the greater part of the winter was spent in New York at the house No. 3 East Sixtysixth street, which was presented tc General Grant.

A, woman in Ventura. Cal., combines the professions of florist' and public benefactor very delightfully. She has cultivated about her place a heliotrope hedge 200 feet long. It was planted some five years ago, and low posts wore set and wire stretched for the support of the plants. Now they have grown to a height of six feci above the walk. The air about Is fragrant with their scent, the ■promenade overshadowed by drooping blossoms of purple, lavender and white, and humming birds and butterflos of gorgeous hue are attracted by the flowers, making the whole place an embowered beauty spot. The progress of women in England during the pas t year has been marked by (tome notable concessions. St. Andrew's University has been opened to them and the scholarships have been divided equally between the sexes. The Royal Geographical Society has decided to admit women on the same tonus as men, and the British Medical Association has also graciously recognized the existence of women physicians. The Church Cong) ess, even, assigned important places to women, and tne Forester’s Chib decided to admit them on the gamete*ms as men. The London Times has within the last few months enlisted the services of several lady contributors, and one of them. Miss Shaw, is now traveling in ihe various Australian colonies as a special correspondent of the leading organ of the English press. At Antwerp two ladies have been appointed as assistant clerks of the Court for Civic Cases, while in Sweden and in Denmark the men reporters in t he press gallery of the National Legislature have been replaced by women. Moreover, the official stenographer of the lower house of the Danish Parliament is a Miss Grundtvig.
