should dominate in the common speech, and in time give their name to it.

(Jexi'IXE reform of the financial issue is not to be looked for from the present congress.

If the representatives in the present congress are the representative men f this country, the Lord deliver us.

The proposed investigation of t!ie Armenian massacre, has begun to assume an interesting feature.

Tin: Dels tonttnipt ease will le brought before the supreme court. A stay of execution has been granted until .lanuarv Mh.

Tin: income tax is to be tested in the courts, .lohn (I. Moore, of New York, making strong efforts to have the law pronounced unconstitutional. The Lexow committee in New York, still continues to do business, Police Williams has been placed on the rack but denies all charges made against him.

Now comes A. AV. Alton, who desires to put an end to the existence of the president of the United States. The fellow must have softening of the brain. He hails from Jerusalem, (Texas.)

Til eke is a possibility of a clause for the free coinage of silver being tacked on to the present bill before the house, as an amendment. There are plenty of silver men m congress who have not yet shown their hands. It is reported that it is a rule now in Washington, if a congressman is found who hasn't a plan of his own for the solution of the present financial problem, to cremate him. So far no one has been cremated.

Taeiff or no tariff, the hens of this country are getting just about as good prices for their manufactures just now as any other of the laboring classes of this country, and no increase on raw material either.

TriiKEY will not allow the representative of the United States to participate in the investigation at Armenia. How strange it is that of late Uncle Sam has received so many snubs from foreign nations with such indifference.

And now States Attorney Kern, of Chicago, must appear before the grand jury. Surely the representatives of that city which is taking pattern after Sodom and (lonnorah, of IJibieal fame, will soon be clothed in sack cloth and ashes.

A Niw.r.EK of our professed friends have reported on the streets that the Ixdepexdext has sold out. Those who have such poweras to know the extent of the sale, and who, no doubt, are encompassed about with great mind reading proclivities, would confer a great favov on us if they would state the price.

A pkeaciiei: in a town not a thousand miles from here, recently said no newspaper that told the truth could make a pecuniary success. We may be pardoned in remarking in return as a compliment, that the minister who will at all times and under all circumstances tell the whole truth about his members, alive or dead, will not occupy the pulpit more than a Sunday, and then, perhaps, he will find it expedient to leave in a hurry. The press and the pulpit go hand in hand with whitewash brushes and pleasant words, magnifying little virtues into big ones. The pulpit, the pen and the gravestone are the great saint-making triumvirate.

Tin: English papers constantly complain that the language we speak and write in this country is r"-t T-'nglish, but a new tongue. Why not accept their judgment, and cease calling our speech by that name? Why not the "American language;"' or the "United States language jr" There are nearly twice as many people on this continent to-day who speak this tongue as there are in the whole world besides. Figures show this conclusively. There are TOyxxyxxj people in the United States, and 7,01)0,000 in Jiritish America, or 77fOOOJO in all. In the British Isles there are 000,000, and in the Uritish possessions in Oceanica 4,000,000 more, or H, 000,000 altogether. The American people are thinking, writing, discovering and creating in every way, much more than twice as much as their congerners elsewhere, and it is but natural that they

Independent citizens who object to the predominent style of purely partyism dictation in the making up of a ticket for municipal or township election can only hope lor a different state of affairs, when they take the proper means to manifest their strength. It is undoubtedly the duty of partisans of either party to do all in their power to secure the nomination and election of partisan candidates for the legislature or for congress, but any man's honest views on the quest ion of free trade or protection or the differences between neighbors on the subject of free coinage or state banks should have no more weight with any sensible man in deciding his vote for or against a competent business man for the otlice of mayor or city clerk, than should his views on hypnotism or baptism, or the ringing of his hogs in the light or dark of the moon.

Tmeui: is a town on the map known us Wellington. Kas., in the county of Sumner. We had the pleasure of residing in that beautiful city, and know from experience that the people arc considered farther advanced intellectually, than a great many of the remote corners of the earth. Now after a period of several Years of obscuritv, thev once

more come to the front with a legal act !

of profundity. A man by the name of McDonald shot to death, a respected citizen named Patton. Xow, when his case was brought into court and before a jury composed of Sumner county citizens, then did this defendant swear that a man known as (iray, used his power of hypnotism upon him causing him to commit this horrible murder. This jury, like all Kansas people, equal to any emergency that may confront them, immediately discharged the prisoner, and convicted this man (Jray, of murder in the first degree.

A Suggestion. Editok Independent: 1 You hear the question frequently, what will we do with the tramps and hoboes that have become a nuisance to the public at large? I will give you my manner of treating every individual coming into our lines and asking alms or in plain words, begging. If our city powers would do their duty, they would erect a good, substantial workhouse, surrounded by a high board fence say about twelve feet high ample supply of barb wire on top to keep the hobo from falling out when we once get him on the inside. Xow wehave the house all secure, let the powers contract for a lot of lime stone which can be secured at a very nominal price, cost of freight added, and place it in the house and when one of these intruders comes in our lines take him on sight and put him at work breaking stone and feed him according to his working qualities and it is often the case that someof our natives (citizens) get on the rampage, and it is necessary to bring the aforesaid to justice and he must put up for the breach of our rules or go to the bastile. It is very frequently the case that the accused has not the amount demanded, so to the bastile lie goes, there to eat theee square meals a day and then the hard working citizen must pay this loafer's board. Xow, if we have this house and pile of stone mentioned, we can make liim work Iiis line out, say at fifty cents per day and b ard. Then we can take these crushed stone and macadamise our streets and in a short time our little city will be in a nice, dry condition. Don't you see, we will be gainers instead of looses? A Citizen.

Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly for For January. Frank Leslie's popular monthly for January, is really a holiday number, with regard both to the character of its leading matter and richness of its illustrations. The leading article, "St Andrewsand Andrew Lang,"' by Airs. Leicester Addis, is a charming account of the university career and literary life of this versatile author, also of the quaint little old scotch city of his Alma Mater, where the faddish game of golf has been played on its native links since the middle ages. Francis Smith gives a glimpse of 'Miss(!ouldat Lyndhurst," illustrating the occupation and amusements of an American chatelaine; and Francis Courtenay Daylor contributes three suggestive articles 'On Entertaining." In the way of exploration and picturesque travel, there are "America's I'gypt" ( Yucatan), by Mine. Le I'longeon; "Finland and the Finns," by Herman Montague Donner; and "A dash into 1'ineapple Land," which is southeastern Florida. Lydia Iloyt Farmer contributes an interesting paper on "Jerusalem in the First Century," and Charlotte .McIIvain Moore writes sympathetically of "Old Kentucky Homes." "Chiming Ue lis," by S. II. Ferris, is a seasonable topic, thorough ly treated, and a full-page engraving of Uoutigny's picture of the death of Marshall Lannes at the battle of Fss'ing furnishes the motive forsome interesting historical pages about Napoleon and Alexander I. of Russia.

Leaks from our Think Tank. If the children are taught to feed themselves with the Made of a knife,

it is out of place for the fat her to scold when he cuts himself while doing the same thing. IJlessed is the man that pays his subscription for a paper in advance for he fatteneth the editor's pocket book. '"Manners maketh the man" but news maketh the taper. You may lie to a grand jury but you'll tell St. I'eter the truth some day. Many people treat religion as a hitching post, to be used when they are on their last logs. Don't do as I do, but do as I tell you, is the doctrine of more than one leader advanced thought. The business man who does not advertise is a good deal like a tallow dip, lie is out of date. Nothing makes a man feel so much like kicking himself as to hear some old family friend tell his children what a thorough scamp their father was when a boy. Truth and poetry seldom go hand in hand, but when they do it is often hard to make the lines rhyme. Ilion. Charles Elliott is home on a vacation. Mrs. 1 O. Walker, of Denham, Ind., is visiting her mother of this place. Samuel Crull and wife spent Christmas in Chicago with their children. Every neighborhood has its hoodlums but we are more than blest.

The school entertainment, plajed at the opera house was a howling success. Every one who attended it was very

much pleased. "The Brownies and Uogieman" played by room 1 brought down the house. "Labor Operatte" and "Peak's Sisters" also were very well played.

It is too bad that respectable people have to be insulted on the streets of a city or town by the class of people who have no respect for themselves or others either and yet nothing must be said by any one to stop such conduct. Among the attractions for Christmas eve was a snow house and tree at the M. E. church. A grand entertainment was rendered by the classes of the Sunday school. Santa Clans of course was there for the little people who enjoyed his speech and grotesque appearance. Presents filled the tree from top to bottom, and made a nice display.
