The Columbian souvenir coin has proved a failure. Congress made a gift to the exposition managers of 42. *OO.OOO worth of the coins, and the managers expected to sell them for a dollar apiece, realizing $5,000,000. Instead of that only $827,000 worth have been sold up to date, and over $4,000,000 worth of the pretty pieces are left in kegs in the safety vaults. Tbe coin does not seem to have hit the popular fancy to anything like the extent that its designers expected. E. M. Parcells is agent for Miller’s steam dye house, of Lafayette.

A $66 house was present, which lacked about S4O of paying the company’s expenses.

Some of the “organs” are printing the names of Senators Kopelka, Gilman and others who voted to do away with the expensive and useless luxury of printing sample election ballots in the newspapers, in capital letters and holding them up as “enemies of the press,” and therefore subjects for newspaper annihilation. In this instance if these gentlemen are enemies of the press, they are most undoubtedly friends of the people. Tax payers of the state, who are saved $171,000 by the repeal of the law authorizing publication of the ballots should remember Senators Kopelka, Gilman and their colleagues who saved the amount to them.—Goodland Herald.
