Me. Blaib,
whose disappearance from
the Senate witb. bis famous educational bill caused no great regret, came to the front soon after as a member of the House, and the people of the country held their breath, figuratively, for fear he would spring it there. He denies this, however, but hopes that
Borne
other
member will introduce it, when he will lend it his support. If Mr. Blair himself will kindly refrain from speaking in behalf of the bill, the people will be satisiied. We have enough trials now, without adding this to the list.
A MAN who endows a public institution or college with a liberal sum is generally looked upon as a benefactor entitled to great respect and consideration. Not many of them, though, are able to pro/it by an endowment so successfully as the New York man who died recently at the age of 103 years. When seventy years old he deeded all his property, valued at$30,000, to Syracuse university, stipulating that that institution should pay him seven per cent, annually on that amount as long as he should live. It wasn't contemplated, however, that he would enjoy this income for thirtythree years, and at the time of his death the principal had been paid back almost twice over, thouah the rate of interest had been reduced.

THE government of the United States pays its retired army aud navy officers over $2,000,000 a year in salaries, a figure that is somewhat startling when we consider the claim is made that we have neither an army or a navy. The practice of retiring officials and employes who have passed their best years in a service that unfits tbem for other lines of work is one that has many things to commend it, but it certainly is wrong that a man who draws a salary of $5,6G0 a year as a retired officer of the United States army should be drawing a salary of $5,000 from another branch of the government. Such is„the case of Gen. Dan Sickles, of New York. There should be a provision cutting off one of the salaries iuacase like this, and it is a wonder some of the reformers haven't suggested it.4
E World's Fair closed as a national exhibition last Monday, and although there will be many interesting sights there for Rome time to come, the spec tacle will be shorn of much of its glamour. The closing ceremonies, instead of being made a notable
Affair,
were brief, owing to the tragical death of Mayor Harrison, who had been identities with the success of the fair. Now that the fair is over, it can justly be said of it that it was the grandest thing ever projected and carried into execution, and whtie there will be world's fairs and world's fairs its like will doubtless never again be seen. It was conceived on a broad-gauge plan, and as such was carried into exeoution, and Chioago can justly pride herself on having by the indomitable energy of her people produced the grandest show of this or any other Bgo. All honor to her.
S Thk
Southern silver Senators gave up
thoir light against tb© repeal bill for fear public sentiment would briug about the passage of a oloture rule, and thus deprive them of the priceless privilege of talking to their hearts*content, whether they have anything to say or not. If they can only be permitted to talk they are willing that legislation should take care of itself. But when the Republicans resort to filibustering, as no doubt they will when the federal election bill and the new tariff measure come tip in Senate, they will experience a change of heart, and cloture will not be the horrible thing it has been painted. It will be sw£ the proper thing then that the majority should rule. And vheir judgment, al-
though somewhat behind hand, will be correct—the majority should rule, after y^j proper discussion. And it will rule, for j?. ouly then can a majority be held respon-
f8ible
for its legislation and itemiatakes.
Tats Is going to be a hard winter on the civil service reformers. Only a few months ago we were being told, in their highly intellectual way, of how bold, *14*1bad Ben Harrison was violating all de2
in
disregard of the civil serr-
rV ice regulations, and great promises were fC'ygi held out. of what glorious Grover Cleveland would do to further the interests of this divinely mugwumpiao doctrine.
But now their tale of woe is dreadful to hear, and they are saying meaner things about the president than any of his political opponents have ever attempted or desired to say. In fact, all during Mr. Cleveland's occupancy of the Whit®
House, during this and his former administration, it has been reserved to the members of his own party to say the meanest and most unscrupulous things of him, and It is not surprising that those who were londest in advocating his election last fall, the civil service reformers, are now the londest in hi* denunciation. The stock in trade of the average civil service reformer, however, is wholesale criticism of the party in power, no matter what its political complexion may be. It is not beyoud the pale of possibilities that after Mr. Cleveland has retired from the presidential office, those who are now condemning him so violently will be holding him up as the only true exemplar of civil service reform. It would be eminently characteristic of those of that faith.
A SOUTHERN woman, a daughter of Cassius M. Clay, has a plan by which she hopes to maintain white supremacy in the Southern states. It is by extending the right of suffrage to women educationally qualified. It isn't for her love of suffrage for her colored sisters that she offers this, but because there are nine white women in the South who can write to one colored, and the addition of these thousands of votes she thinks will furnish the best solution of the negro problem. -When Southern women get the voting right in elections her intense dislike of the negro as ap integral part of our political system will lead to more exciting times than any we have yet known. During the war the Southern women were the most intensely bitter partisans of the time, and they said and did things that many of their mfcle adherents would not attempt, and their advent into political factors* while not at all probable—would not be likely to furnish any reasonable solU' tion of the so-called "negro problem.''
THE repeal bill as passed by the Senate was concurred in by the House, on Wednesday, and became a law by the approval of the President within an hour and a half after the latter action. It is to be hoped that the final deoisive action, after the waste of three months' time, will restore confidence and give an impetus to business. If it does not, then we must look elsewhere for the cause of the depression that has prevailed for months past. If the passage of this bill starts the factories and the workshops, and gives employment to the thousaqds who are now unemployed, all wtjll and good. If it does not, then it must be admitied by all fair-minded people that it is the fear of tariff disturbance that has dogged the wheels of induatry. Ail the more reason, then, that Congress should proceed at once to the work of making suoh changes as the majority may decideon as being in harmony with the platform and theories of the dominant party. Any change will be better than a feeling of distrust as to what is to be done.
CARTER H. HARRISON, five times elect ed mayor of Chioago, and one of the most notable characters in American politics, was assassinated nt bis home in that city, last Saturday, by a crank named Prendergasfc, who had a griev aace against the mayor for uot appointing him corporation counsel. The rnur der occurred in the hallway of the Harrison residence, where the assassin had gone for that express purpose. The murder was most shocking from the fact that the mayor was to have been married very shortly to Miss Annie Howard, a Southern lady of prominence. Carter Harrison had, by his own personal popularity, been able to do something that perhaps no other man in Chicago—or any other city, for that matter— oould have done. In the face of the universal opposition of the pulpit and press, except that of his own paper, the Times, he was elected mayor of Chicago over Samuel W. Allerton, a well-known citizen, whose career as a self-made man, and friendliness to labor organizations and workingmen rendered it almost morally certain that he would be successful. Yet, withal, Harrison won by a handsome majority, and his ambition to be the World's Fair mayor was gratified. His intense love for Chicago and her institutions was bis most marked characteristic, and in his official capacity he had done much to further the success of the big fair. His death was deplorable, from the manner of his taking off, as well as from other circumstances connected with it. His murderer has been indicted for the crime, and while it is claimed that ha is insane, it is certain that he is sane enough to be punished. We have had too man cases in our criminal anuals of escape from punishment on this plea, and it is time that some example be made of such so-, called insane persons. And this is just as good a time to begin as any other*
Ben Butterworth, one of the Ohio big four, the other three being McKinley, Foster and Foraker, is back In Washington practicing law, seemingly without further ambition in the direction of politics. Half a dozen years ago he was one of the leaders ou the floor of the House. Now he is the father of the crack foot-ball player in the Yale team.

The domVof the new national library^ building at Washington, D. C., having 10,000 square feet of exposed surface, is being covered with gold leaf. It will be
the
largest gilded dome in the world. Miss Ray Frank, of Oakland, Cal., is to be ordained soon as a rabbi of the Jewish church, and will be the first of her sex, it is said, to occupy such a position. She has been studying at the California State university and at the Hebrew Union college at Cincinnati.
A young lady examining and pricing some hosiery in a Kendallvllle dry good store recently, finding a pair that she liked, asked the clerk "how high those came." Green clerk—"Why, I dou' know exactly, but think about two inches above the knee. You may^tep into the back room and try them on, if you like." The clerk was discharged.
Young Charles L. Fair, whose income is now but $1,000 a month, takes with him to Europe a certified copy of his mother's will, which he can use in case he tries to discount his $1,000,000 legacy from his mother. Before entering the train on their bridal tour to Europe, where they mean to make a long stay, Fair's wife said: "I am just going to show the world for once what a reformed woman can be, and I'll make another man of Charlie, too, before I get through you see if I don't." .s
Senator Dan Voorhees feels old, says a Washington correspondent. He told the Senate so the day after the day and night session. It doesn't bring a feel ing of youthfulness to the Tall Sycamore when he goes over to the house end of the Capitol and finds there representative who was a baby when he was earning his early political laurels and who was .named in his honor by an enthusiastic admirer. Dan Voorhees was the idol of the Wabash Valley when Elijah Voorhees Brookshire came into the world. The widwlfe said: "Mr. Brookshire, it's a boy." And Farmer Brookshire said: "We'll call him Voorhees and send him to Congress."
Col. "Buck" Kilgore, the Texas doorkicker in congress, has a name, that-in cold type, leads many to imagine they know how to pronounce it. The correct way isn't as easy fis it looks. That "bawn and raised southerner," Senator George, of Mississippi, went over to the house end of the capitol the other day At the entrance he encountered one of the smart young doorkeepers detailed by Tammany to come down from New York to help run oougress. "Boy," said Senator George, "you go on the floh and tell Kun'l Keel-gob. to come to the doh." The Tammany man looked at the senator a little curiously, as if he half suspected something in the way of a guy. Then he went in without a word. In a few minutes he came out, and, addressing the senator, he said impressively: "Kun'l Keel-goh can't come to the doh, because he's gone to the stoh, and won't be baok till foh." He then looked hard at Senator George. The senator returned the stare, turned and went back to the senate. \%.f.
1HE WELL-BRED OIRL. A lady writing on this subject says of the well-bred girl that she thanks the man who gives her a seat in a street car,' and does it in a quiet and not in an! effusive way.
She does not accept a valuable present from any man unlesB she expects to marry him.
She doesn't talk loud in public places. She doesn't shove or push to get the best seat, and she doesn't wonder why in the world people carry children in the cars, and why they permit them to cry.
She does not speak of her mother In a sarcastic way, and she shows her the loving defeirence that is due har.
She doesn't want to be a man, and she doesn't try to imitate him by wearing stiff hats, smoking cigarettes and using slang.
She doesn't say she hates women, and she has some good true friends among them.
She doesn't wear boots without their' buttons or a frock that needs mending. She doesn't scorn the use of the needle.
