There is n good deal of anti-Quay-ted talk in Pennsylvania nowadays Most of the people who wanted to reorganize the Democratic party at once have decided to postpone setting to work for some three years or so. — 7 A man who. betrays his party forfeits all claim to the people’s confidence and esteem. Soeiecy of the better element lias no use for "men" of this class. Coin Paul is on his way to Europe and the way the nations are watching his course reminds one of the terror shown by sailors of old when they sighted the other Flying Dutchman. The report that the Chinese discovered America a thousand years before Coleinbus, is obviously untrfie, as there was not a single laundry in the country when the Europeans landed. The burning alive of that negro in Colorado was most horrible, but it'shows that the same crime is likely to bring about .the same penalty in any part of the United States, and not in the south alone.

Times do change! A month { ago, the Philippine War was said j to amount to nothing; to-day it is I cheerfully admitted to be absorb- j ing about one.third of the national j income and iis existence is'offered ns an excuse for not reducing taxa-1 tion. Governor Beckham of Kentucky. ! will again i me a requisition for, Ex-Goveruor Taylor for complicity | in the Goebel murder. Now that the Republicans, have control of the highest court in Kentucky,' there can be no possible excuse' for not surrendering him.

Mark Hanna is now, said to decline that no man earn have a full dinner pail unless fie gets out and hustles for it. A month ago all a man had to do was to vote for McKinley and then lie on his-bi» k and let roast quail drop into his mouth according to Mark Grivgs is going to leave the Cabinet. lor these and nil other mercies, make ns truly thankful. Perhaps, there will be some move towards curbing the trusts under n ie .• Attorney General. At least, the e cm hardly be one more complaisant towards them than Griggs lms been. One drawback to the college that is supported by a wealthy patron has just become evident in California, where Mrs. Lelniul Stanford has discharged a professor who advocated municipal ownership of street car lines, telegraphs and tbo like. Vet this is said to be a country*where free speech is allowed. Most people are a little bewildered by th • french gun scandal. Asa matter of fact, it is considered highly commendable for one nation t > steal the plans of auother so long ns it doesn’t get caught. It will be noticed that all the reprobation so far is directed towards the man who gave the the story to the newspapers and nut toward* the one who stole the plans. Governor-elect Odell of New York baa tiled an official statement alh ging that his expenses during the campaign were *7,000, This ia iinv-t encouraging to poor non and gives them great hopes that by the.r own exertions they may attain to high political honors Times have changed since the early days of the Republic, when brains counted for more than money.
