AFTER CRUMPACKER.

Democratic reorganizers are still plentiful, but they don’t seem able to find any Democrats willing to be reor ganized. ' - Sensitive southerners now add to every description of a negro lynching: “It was quiet and orderly and no cruelties were perpetrated.” Hon Adlai Stevenson was in .'aehingion tue other day, but he didn't go io make arrangements for nvnig in that city after March 4.

Senator Sullivan, of Mississippi, did not display southern chivalry, or any other kind,, when he slapped a young woman’s face, on the street in Washington. The young woman, who claims to have lived with Sulli van as his wife f has a suit for $50,000 for breach of promise pending against him. Secretary Long gave Congress a rap, in a letter to Senator Morgan> whp had complained of the failure of the fjpvernment to reorganize the heroism ih the navy during the war with Spain, when he said: “The delay is not with the executive branch of the government so much as with Congress.” • ~- It is announced that Dave Hill is “too much engrossed” with his law practice to become a candidate for the Democratic Presidential nomination in 1904. This is probably because ’the Democratic party was too much engrossed with its wailing to endorse Dave’s' recently launched boom—a natural case of cause and effect.

President McKinley is r.ght in his contention that to congress be longs the duty of deciding when our authority shall be withdrawn from Cuba. It was Congress that ordered the war with Spam, to end the deplorable conditions in Cuba, and it should be the same authority that passes on the Cuban constitution. President McKinley has proven himself so worthy of* trust that congress could not do a better thing than to adopt a joint resolution giving him full authority to establish and maintain a civil government in the Philippines whenever he deems it wise to do so. Such a resolutfon ought to be put through both branches of congress at once. The John Marshall centennial celebrations were a credit to the country as well as to those who participated in them. When he was named as the first Chief Justice of the U. S. Supreme Court, few men recognized that a tribunal soon to be known as the greatest in the world was being established, but it was known as such before John Mar shall died, and it has kept its reputation.

A prominent lawyer of Rochester, Fulton county, and a citizen of average mental weight, one Julius Rowley, hassecured what he claims is a picture of his father, who died years ago in New York, and that the-picture was made by a spirit. It is said that the father never had a photograph taken. The’ son became a convert to spiritual ism and was informed that through a medium he could secure a picture of bis father. While in Chicago this week, he went so a medium, and Rowey claims a canvas was placed on an easel in plain veiw of himself and a friend and in half an hour an excellent likeness had been produced without ■ human hands touching the canvas. | The postoffice department has de-, cided upon six special stamps for the oenefit .of the Pan-American exposi lion at Buffalo. The 1 cent stamp of green color will have a picture of a ; large steamer to represent the large transportation industry of the inland ■leas in winch Buffalo is so much interested. The 2 cent stamp printed n red will have a railway train; the 4 cent stamp in red brown, an automobile; the 5 cent in blue, a picture of the new, bridge at Niagara Falls; the 8 cent stamp in lilac, a picture of the lock atSault Ste. Marie; and the 10 cent stamp of light brown, an oct an steamer. The Panhandle now has three express trains that are scheduled without making a stop in running 193 miles. The tenders to the engines which haul these trains carry seven thousand gallons of water and a large coal tonnage. Not nearly every poor cuss sympathizes with other poor men. 1

Will Not Have Smooth Sailing Again. The following is taken from an In dianapolis paper: “Republicans from the Tenth Dis trict say that Senator Will Wood will ask the nomination for Congress in 1892 His hope of defeating Congress - man Crumpacker is said to be based partly on Crumpacker’s frequent, opposition to the administration on great questions A republican from the Tenth said last night that many of the party workers are tiring of Crumpacker’s position against his party, and that Wood will stand a good chance of being nominated.”
