The Philadelphia Record says the Colorado legislature resembles the Cripple Creek strike. If there is any difference it is up to the legislature to point it out. The literati of to-day is perplexed as to whether they should put Andrew Carnegie down in the books as the builder of libraries, or as the hero of the Chadwick affair. In a divorce case in Montgomery, Ala., the wife gave evidence to show that she married ber husband to spite another fellow. Her husband was probably pleased to learn that it was not to spite him. The reason for peouliar defination of words is slowly being brought to light. It has been found out that a woman is called a man’s help-meet because when they wish to marry she will meet him half way. We would warn our young schoolboys abont the use of their commas and periods. A man in San Francisco should have received $135,000 but a comma was misplaced and he got only $1,350. In other words, misplacing a comma deprived him of a period of prosperity.

The Countess of Suffolk, formerly the wealthy Mies Daisy Leiter of Chicago and Washington, was roundly cheered by her humble subjects when she arrived in London. The English will probably keep up this hearty welcoming as there is plenty of capital behind it.

The Rochester Sentinel says: “The Chicago Tribune publisher writes the Sentinel asking it to help fight the “infamous paper trust.” Well, hardly! The Sentinel did its fighting against trusts during the campaign but such papers as the Tribune screamed with frenzy for everybody to “stand pat” and most of them did, and now they ought to take their medicine. This paper expects to meekly “let well enough alone’’ because the people have voted that way, and if the republican Chicago Tribune don’t like; to be squeezed and skinned by the paper trust, it may howl if it wants to. The Sentinel is game, qqjH when it is whipped, and nomMKi the trusts have been givenjjflpfred assurance of friendship republican party by votes, let them have '
