THB long range pugilistic battle between Sullivan and Corbett is making many friends for Mitchell. The gatiing gnn-like rapidity with which the first two shoot through their bats is only excelled bythe disgust they are creating against themselves.

IF Kansas could be pulled up by the roots and set down somewhere in South America its people could probably get all the revolution they so much "hanker arter." The hole in the ground left by the state could be utilized as an inland gea by the arid region which surrounds it.

THE success of Carter Harrison

LA re

ceiving the nomination of the Democracy for the Chicago mayoralty for a third term need not be taken so much as an evidence that it's hard to keep a good man down, but rather what may be accomplished by a man of wealth, with political ambition and a combination of energy and unlimited gall.

IT is denied that President Harrison has been tendered the chair of constitutional law in Chicago University with a salary of $26,000 a year, and requiring only two lectures per week. The Chicago University is doubtless a big thing, but when- it comes to paying $25,000 a vear for two lectures a week it will draw the line-

There Is reason to believe that if the Kansas reformers could only get back to the point "they were at" four years ago they would be content to remain, and would willingly fo.swear reform as

log they live. Reform 1» someLmes

a good and necessary thing, but when it reaches the revolutionary stage in a country like this it is time to sit down on it.

OWKCTXON has been made to the state oUlcers or Kansas because they appoint as their secretaries and assistant secretaries the female members of their own families. Those who make these objections should bear in mind that if they appoiuted the female members

other

families it might cause a family row, so that nepotism in this form is a virtue which should really be encouraged.

Tun new adjutant general of Kansas is described as "a fellow who never wore a uniform and who doesn't know enough to hoist an umbrella when it rains." But then it should be borne in mind that if he possessed anything but ignorauce he would be disqualified as a Populist, leader, in Kansas. Then again, what is a oitixeo in a state where it never rains expected to know about an umbrella anyhow.

AN Atlanta, Georgia, woman murdered her two sisters last Sunday, giving as an exouse tlmt she was jealous of the attention her mother and brother were showing them. As she is a member of a highly respectable family the best legal talent in the state has haen em ployed to defend her. Had she been some poor ignorant negress she would have been uknn out by some infuria ted mob, hun* to the nearest tree and her body riddled witb bullets. This is the way they encourage education and respeotibtlity dmvn there.

PENSION REVISION

That the next congress is going to revise the pension laws is just »s certain as that it will revise the tariff, and the changes in the one will probably be as radical as in the other. The Democratic papers are daily becoming louder in their demands for a revision of the pension list, and lately they have been joined by the Grand Army Gazette, the organ of the G. A. R.

In a recent issue the Gazette makes some startling charges and assertions, going so far as to make a mathematical demonstration that nearly one-half of the present million of pensioners were not soldiers in any honest sense. It pre faces its plea for a change by saying: "We believe in an houest, square pension roll, granting what is properly due to those who won it by service. Nothing, in our estimation, is too good for the gallant boys who met the shocks of battle and campaign, and if the roll were simply to comprise these then what that intrepid officer, General Garfield,

THE NEW GERRYMANDER. When the Supreme court declared the Indiana apportionment law unconstitutional Attorney General Smith very promptly came to the front and announced vociferously that when it met the legislature would pass a uew apportionment bill which would be acceptable to all parties. The legislature has met, and the legislature has passed an apportionment bill, but the apportionment bill passed by it is fuliy as unsat is factory as the one sat down upon by the Supreme court. In fact the uew appoitioument bill is almost a duplicate of the old one, under which the Republicans would have to carry the state by something like 30,000 majority to give them control of the legislature.

The new law contains all the features which were declared unconstitutional by the Supreme court. Why, then, did the legislature pass it? Only one answer can be given The court when it passed upon the case was Republican, but Is now Democratic. After the new justices had taken their seats the Attorney Gen erai tn*de an inettactual attempt to get the case before them on a rehearing, doubtless believing that a Supreme bench composed of Democrats would sustain the law. And there can be no

In other words, congress pro vided the silver kings with a single purchaser for all their product except 4,000,000 ounces. Yet in spite of this gratuitous kindness on the part of the government the chasm between the mar ket and coinage value of silver only grows wider, and the export of gold doesn't require sny further explanation With silver purchased above its com mercial value, coined into money and forced into circulation gold is bound to leave the country, and unless the folly is stopped tbo yellow metal will so go to a premium.

If the assertion is true it is no surprise that a demand for a revision should come from the organ of the soldiers. But it will be received with many grains of allowance, for the American people are slow to belieye any ill of the men who fought in defense of honor and country, and are.willing in the future, as in the past, to do well by them. However, such charges, emanating from such a source, cannot be passed in silence. They call for an investigation, and an

investigation thorough and complete ,ufttter of an Indian agency should be made. If unworthy men are drawing pensions and disgracing men who fought honestly and bravely their names cannot be stricken from the rolls too soon. Give honor where honor is due, and associate not with brave men

REVIVAL OF CHOLERA.

countries. In St. Petersburg^ more than a dozen persons have died of cholera since the cessation of the frost, aud in Maroelles the authorities strive in vain to keep the death list from the public But the worst tidiugs to this country is

the existence of the disease on a number of ships in the harbor has been admitted.

It may be said that the European winter is about over, and as the weather moderates and the sun shines witb warmth the cholera germs come back to life. From this time on a steady spread of the disease may be looked for, and it behooves the health authorities of our land to take steps to prevent an invasion of the country by it. In Marseilles several deaths from .cholera have been reported within a short time, and the Swedish consul has refused to issue clean hills of lading to vesselb bound from there to Swedish ports, while the Greek government has established a five days' quarantine against all vessels from that port.

In the meantime extensive prepara lions are being made for an international sanitary conference at Berlin, at which cholera specialists of world-wide celeb rity fiom all portions of Europe will be present, and from whose deliberations it is to be hoped great good will result. The appearance of the disease thjs early in the season should be a warning to this country to take steps in time to keep it from our shores. With a world's fair in progress in the center of the United States every facility for the introduction and spread of cholera will be ample unless something is done at oiice to prevent it. The good work done by the New York authorities last fall shows the efficacy of good rules wheu quickly and rigidly enforced. It was to the prompt aotion of the New York health authorities that an epidemic was averted last fall, and that which New York did last year should be done by the legally constituted authorities throughout the land, and in order to assist them immigration should be restricted, even to the extent of prohibition from infected ports while the disease contiues.
