- IN the second congressional district of this.state fully a dozen aspirants for congressional honors .are already in the field. John H. 'O’Neill, the present incumbent, has expressed himself satisfied with two terms and as being ready to step aside for some other incipient statesman.”

THE citizens of Detroit spént con-i‘ siderable money by way of entertaining the national editoral association, but the money thus expended is likely to prove a very profitable investment. The editors throughout the country - gpeak in such glowing terms of Detroit that it may now be considered the best gdvertised city in the Union. = Towa DEMocrATs feel quite hopeful of their ability to elect their candidate : for governor on a high license platform. There is a very strong, sentiment among Republicans in favor of repealing the prohibition clause of the constitution, but whether enough of them will vote for a democratic candidate for governor to elect him remains to be ~ seen. Tae old double log cabin long ago occupied by Andrew Jackson, near Nashville, Tenn., has been repaired and preserved for another century at least by the enterprise of a local association of ladies. Every movement that tends to keep in grateful remembrance that sturdy old patriot, Andrew Jackson, merits commendation. All honor, therefore, to the good ladies of Tennessee. \ -

REPUBLICAN NEWSPAPERS have a good deal to say about race prejudice in the south, and especially abuse southern people for objecting to negro office holders. The first negro ever elected to office in the United States was chosen as a mcmber of the législature of Massachusetts from Townsend, in 1840. On. account of *‘race prejudice’’ he was not permitted to take his seat. SR ¥inh

TrE DEMOCRATS of New York are trying to find some popular, capable German to head their state ticket.

TaHE Boston Journal calls attention . to the faet that in 1887 the United ' States *‘sold to Brazil, in round numbers, only - $8,000,000 of our products. But in that same year we imported almost $58,000,000 worth of Brazilian products. Moreover, the bulk of these imports from Brazil was in coffee, which we admit duty free, instead of - mssessing ‘a heavy tax.’ Great Britain, on the other hand, does subject Brazilian and -all other coffee to a heavy tax. Yet Great Britian gets the lion’s share of Brazilian trade.” Hard facts - like these often play sad havoe with some people’s pet theories. g b T oo ¢ L A VERY LARGE BUSINESS is now doing in the way of exporting.

- THE Catholic Review says the entire country will heartily sympathize :'&thh the 10,000 brakemen who have petitioned for the introduction of automatic, couplers and brakes on freight cars. Thére ought not to be any necessity of such a petition. If the labor societies “were less troubled with politics and more sincere in advancing their own intcrests, a majority of states would by this time have required the railway companies to use the brakes and couplers. Four hundred and fifty brakemen. are Kkilled eyely year, and four thousand seriously injured by the use of the link and pin in coupling. . e

THERE. is food for thought in these observations by Prof J. H. Mahaffy, of Dublin. Uniyersity: **Nothing has surprised *me more during my brief visit to the United States than the slavery to which the American public is subjected by a fyrannous daily press. The instant any individual, however obscure, ventures to speak out upon a question he understands, in opposition to the line taken by theleading papers, there is quite an indignant fuss that Ameri¢an readers should dare to hear a new argument. Of course, the rebellious person who has spoken out is misrepresented, ridiculed, instructed upon his special question. But the very fact that he has got a hearing is laid against him as a crime of the gravest kind—the crime of @treason against the . sacred monopoly of instructing the public.” 'T'he daily press of this country has some commendable qualities, but its bad ones, we regret to say, appear to preponderate. ’

THE ATTENTION of congress will probably be directed next winter to the fact that over 22,000,000 acres of land in the United States are owned by residents of European countries. In this amount the holdings of foreigners who have gained a residenceé in this country are not included. These lands have been bought atlow prices by Europeans, who in many cases propose fo rent them after the Earopean fashion. 1t is possible to check this disposition on the part of Europeans to purchase American land by attaching legal penalties to its transfer and inheritance. Certainly our laws should not encourage this inyestment of foreign eapital in land to be held in large bodies. A great drawback to the prosperity of California has been the immeons: Spanish grants, the validity of which was recognized in the treaty which zave us the country. In states where such obligations were not inherited tae land should be kept for the settlers. -

THE DISTANCE of Japan from the United States and the dissimilarity of her people lessens the inter:st we ought to feel, 23 members of the human race, in the terrible disasters that hgve‘occurred in that country tue past summer. Particulars are late in arriving, and are still meagre, ccnsidering the importance of the subj:ct, yet it appears that the Johnstown food, in out own land, is.hardly to ke compared with the deluge that ha: swept away scores of villages in Japar , while at the same time mountains have crambled and fallen on other communities, burying them from sight forever. 'l'he devastation is so immense, and the difficulty of reaching the survivors is so great, that practically little relief will be afforded. It is one of thgispensations of Providen:e that can dnly be accounted for by some such "?‘hilosophy as that of Malthus, ;*and on the ground that the over).eopleing of the globe can only be kep:down in such a way—a line of reasoniag too heartless for many people to adopt, even for the unfortunates in Japan.

BETTER ROADS.

Every one knows that the roads in this country are about the worst that exist in any civilized country in the world, says an exchange. (f course, the reason for it is that railroads are built so soon after the settlement of any new portion of it that the need of good wagon - roads is net felt in anything like the degrees in which it othezzfvisé would be; and 'in the older portions of the country roads that -were once good are sometimes allowed to'get out of repair for the same reason. The recent description 'of the French roads and how they are kept up, written by Mr. Joseph Pennell for Harper's Weekly, is no doubt a revelation to many Americans of what may be dome in the way of road making. Nothing like those roads has ever existed in this country. = A conviction of the need of better wagon roads seems to. be gradually permeating the public mind, and some improvement,_has taken place daring the last few years. . There is reason to hope thaf a much greater improvement will take place in the nextfew years; and this largely because of the efforts of the League of American wheelmeén: This prganization s, of course, interested 1 the maintenance of good roads everywhere. lts members explore all the highways and byways of the coun: try. They know the fow good roads and the many bad ones, and they know better how bad the bad ones are than SN #7O Joung meD, A

text of a proposed hill providing for the construction, maintenance and fpservation gt highways, which she league will have introduced, and try to push through the legislatures of several states at their next session. The introduction to this manual states some very important facts thus tersely: - The possession of railways no more does away with the need for good highways than with the need for horses and wagons, as is effectively shown by the accepted estimate that it costs more to get the average bushel of wheat from the farm to the railway station than from the railway station to the seaboard, and that, under the present conditions, a locomotive can haul a ton of wheat a mile more cheaply than a farmer can haul a bushel. The difference between a good road and a bad one was accurately demonstrated by Gen. Q. A. Gilmore’s experiments with a dynamomenter, which proved that any one of the better class of permanent roadways would enable a team to draw on the level about four times the amount drawi on a common dirt road, and by the statement of Clemens Herschel, civil engineer, that on the roads of England a horse can perform twice as much work as the same animal could accomplish in America. That such considerations are not more generally recognized is to be explained only by the fact that the greater part of the people of the United States never saw a good, road, and know nothing of the economy with which one can be maintained, or the comfort which the use of one confers.

It is an altogether commendable work which the league has proposed for itself, and it will find the newspapers on its side. Success to its efforts!

RAMPANTLY FANATICAL. That -the prohibition party is one chiefly of unreasoning fanaticism is clearly shown by the platforms recently adopted in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and other states. Innone of these party declarations is there anything like compromise. Complete prohibition of the entire liquor traffic, whether it include the worst spirituous liquors or the milder ale and beer, or whether the use be merely af the table on occasions or as a regular half hourly potation of the habitual toper at the bar rooms. They consent to no middle course. High license to them is no better than low license. It is worse than no license at all, because the very lowest license indicates an official authority for the sale. In their New York platform, however, they go beyond even former precedents and place their condemnation on loca! option, because it is too local and too optional. Yet, in fact, as the Albany Times puts it, local option is really the whole principle of prohibition in miniature. Not the most fanatical of the prohibitionists expects prohibition to be established unlgss by the vote cof the people. ‘Some of them would wis!i, no doubt, to enforce it by an imperial ukase if possible, but they all know that in this land it can be established only by 'a people who want it or ‘believe they want it, or one willing to ‘experiment with it under a doubt us to whether they want it or not. Local option a dozen years ago was the highest ideal to which the earnest temperance men of New York and New Jersey aspired. In their dreams possibly/ they may have looked forward to total. prohivition, but for the time, local option, the mere submission. to the people of a town of the question of licensing or refusing to licerse liquor selling, was a long enough, step for them and they considered it a predigious step when they had accomnplished that. ) :

It is now very different. T'he prohibitionists consider no intermediate steps, no lower rungs. of the ladder. All other reforms are won by progressive moves. The pioneer builds his hut only after he has hewn away a clearing in the forest, and he produces cities only after the land has been tilled, and usually it is by his descendants, by whom he has long been forgotten, that the cities are built. Prohibition of the present day demands a sudden jump into - complete success or nothing, ‘Were' its counselors wiser, it would mod erate its tone. _ :

For several months his queer actions, and peculiar methods in conducting his business have cansed much discussion and considerable anxiety among his large ircle of friends at Elkhart. The Goshen News, in speaking of the case, says: i : *Formerly he was quite a dissipated man, but successful in business and a leading and enterprising citizen, liked by everyone. Some months ago he joined the church, but had reformed a

long time previous to shat. In reforming he not only stopped drinking, but smoking, and he was an inveterate one, as well as tea and coffee—going to the farthest extreme, and the result is his nervous system is undone, which has affected him mentally, ana he is doing all kinds of strange things in business and financial matters, seemingly prompted by the belief that his best friends’ and most trusted emploves, known for their mtegrity, are trying to defraud mim. So bad at times, has he become, that talk of baving an inquest has come. . Everyone ‘who has known the heretofore bright, genial and gen-erous-hearted ‘man, hears these things with regret and hopes for his speedy recovery to health, which séems ought to return if he would receive some kind of stimulant to sutain his weakened nervous system, long used to stimulants, but this they say he will not do. ;

- A Pointed Suggestion. o Upon the new school book law, the Wabash Pluindealer remarks, that the. republican and democratic newspapers throughout the state are wasting a great deal of valuable space in discussing the text book question. The matter is of too much importance to be made 8 political bone of contention. The law has come to stay, at least for five years, and instead of seeking to propagate sentiment against it, the citizens of Indiana should work together to secure improvement in the school books and pave the way providing the pupils in the public schools of the state with first-class books at a trifling advance on the original cost. The wrangle now in progress is in no sense a party one, although certain individuals and newspapers are seeking to make it such, but it is disgraceful to the people of the state and to the persons engaged therein nevertheless. i ~ The Battle of Gettysburg.

© SAPRISTI!] MORBLEUI / Common Continental Onths of a Very Mild _ ' Typeindeed. Sad .It is curious, that we are quite unable to rea ize the enormity of some of the commonest continental oaths. We can, of course, to a certain extent, appraise such terms as sacre, sapristi and morbleu (euphemistic for mort dieu), but on the other hand we wholly fail to appreciate the swearing value of mille tonnerres and tausend donnerwetter. Even though these latter be regarded as an invocation of Thor, the god of thunder and summer heat, we can not see any thing very areadful or juratory in them. Anglicized they become perfectly harmless, and indeed would be welcomed in the room' of gdomé of our own more opprobious idioms. ‘‘Thunder,” or even ‘‘Thunder and lightning!” we consider a very temperate exc amasion; so, too, thought the author of the tragic story of the bagman's dbg.' which may be consulted with advantage on this head. Applying the Johnsonian maxim of “claret’ for boys,. port for men and brandy for heroes,” we should certainly be inclined to class either or both of them with the claret, nay, even with the yet milder variety of Gladstonian claret, a vintage happily unknown to the learned doctor. To our insular minds they convey absolutely no idea.of impropriety. We might go about Donnerwettering fora month together and not feel one atem the better for it, or the worse; while our character for propriety and decent speech would not be one whit damaged, whatever might be thought of our sanity. The German soul, however, is conscious of a distinct sense of relief after a judicious indulgence in the sumne pastime. Hence we are confronted by the strange paradox that what is a round oath in one country is not even a smart ejaculation in the next. —Macmillan’s Magazine.

How a Snake Dines on Frog. 3 —_— A naturalist in Dakota was interested recently in a snake’s feast on a frog. He tells about it in the Natural Science Monthly. Frogs may be succulent to snakes, but their deglutition is very much like hard work. It is difficult to tell where the fun comes in. The greatest trouble is to swallow the frog after catching him. He is swallowed heels first. It is problematic whether this is doné by preference or to wedge ,the victim down. When caught the frog cries out pitifully. This seems to delight his snakeship.. The frog soon finds it is useless to struggle to release the one leg swallowed and tries to keep the other out of the trap. But the snake gives a gurgle and a leap and catches the other leg. Then poor ;?ggy’s eyes dilate and assume a glassy/stare; the body is stupefied. Thesnake does not swallow; it simply crawls over its prey by contracting the muscles in its throat. When the frog gets fairly in the snake's belly the latter seems to have a terrible case of indigestion. If rolls over and over and looks as if it would give a hundred dollars to get out of the scrape. Then it becomes stupefied and doubtless resolves never to make a fool of itself again, but when hungry it goes for frogs just as eagerly as before. : o

Your Picture ‘on a Stamp.. The latest fad in photography is the portrait stamp. This unique devide.is a miniature photograph on a piece of paper the size of a postage stamp. . It is gummed on" the back side and is used in a variety of ways. In writing to absent friends the portrait is pasted at the head of the letter or in place of the signature. The stamps are also used on birthday anl wedding cards, programmes of entertainments, and in autograph albums. Business-men who are anxious for notoriety use the stamp on the outside of letters. The idea is English, and the photograph stamps have been in use on the other side for several years. They are now being introduced in thiscountry. = The cost of the photograph is so low that 8 large sale is expected.—N. Y. Mail
