The railroads have expended fifty millions in repairs to accommodate World’s Fair visitors. —Chicago Trtbune; Yes, and ttfhile fiiiteiiditig the accommodation they Will steal ten times that amount by and with the consent of a stupid and cowardly government One argument for Sunday opening es the fair is that the workingmen have no other time to spare except Sunday to see the fair. If that is true, then it is high time our industrial ar-~ rangements were so changed that he could have time. Shame on a people that wants an exhibition to display its wonderful progress, and then makes confession to such a crime.

Out in Illinois there is a fellow that says he will have himself buried next spring, have blrley sown on his grave, and after it is harvested he will be alive and sound as a trout, when dug out. We are sure we can’t say just how that will be.. The only thing clear to our mind is that if fools have to be buried twice, it is an unnecessary h ardship on the rest of mank' m( j There are sixe* “s^ sand city.—Exf erS * Jlls in Washington It is p* , angular that the presioverlooked these people, V uen, in his annual message he

The defeated candidate, Geneial Bragg, gives some damaging hints. There can be little doubt but what this millionaire senator will carefully look after the interests of the poor, that’s the way he has spent his life. Had the election been by the people, he would not have had a ghost of a chance.

The proposition to let public printing to the lowest responsible bidder is bringing forth wails of anguish from the editors of the “organs” throughout the state. They refer to those who are advocating this plan as anarchists, raid their papers as out-of-the-way patent medicine sheets, and everything else not at all complimentary.
