End of the World.

It is now figured out plainly that our planet will die a natural death in 20,000,000 years. Its death will be the consequence of the gradual extinction of the sun. With the assurance of twenty million years more of time at its disposal, the senatethinks there should be no hasty action on the tariff bill.

We have heard that one Populist over in Newton county has gone back to the Republicans. This is the fourth time he has joined that party in ten years. The other changes were to the Prohibitionists and Union Labor. He is accurately described by King Solomon as, “As the dog returneth to his vomit, or the sow to her wallow, so returneth the fool to his folly.”

At the extra session of Congress last fall, Voorhees and his followers said to the silver mem bers, “Repeal the Sherman lav and thus clear the decks for action at the regular session.’ Well, the Sherman law was re pealed, the decks were “cleared for action,” and they acted; acted “thedamphool, generally.’

Safe Pence weilds a longrange, double-barreled gun, and he always keeps it loaded “clean up to the nozzle.” When hi puts his gun to his shoulder look out for feathers, for he will bring down a cuckoo at every fire.

If anybody still had hopes ol silver legislation by either of the old parties, the fight over the seigniorage bill ought tc convince him of the groundlessness of such a hope.
