WOULD-BE Governor Koib, of Alabama, is like the parrot in the story, ^he talks too blauked much."

PROM the lint o! football casualties, that lively same seems to be the only rival of the unloaded gun in causing death and disability.

A PRACTICAL interpretation of a noted expression, by some of the new Repub lioan state officials, seems to be, "Public office is a family snap."

Tax undertakers of St. Louis are at WM with each other about rates and prices. That is a war that will result in somebody being buried.

Li HUNO CHANO need have no worry over the loss of his yellow vest, peaoock feathers and other artioles of official dignity. He is said to be worth over five hundred million dollars.

A CHICAGO man who had held a political job for eight years, at $3,500 a year, grew despondent and killed himself because he bad to give his place up to another. It is a safe wager, at long odds, that that man moved to Chicago from Indianapolis.

MR. GRESHAM continues to show the public how

littlA

be knows about affairs

of state. When the history of this quarter of a century is made up Mr. Gresham's name will appear on it in diamond, the smallest type known, instead of in big, black letters, as be once thought it would be.

EVEN flowers, which are supposed to represent all that is fairest, freshest and oholcest in nature, can be put to bad uses. Congressman Breckenridge, he of unsavory character and reputation, had his desk loaded down with them on the opening day of Congress—and to what baser use could flowers be put to than to pay homage or flattery to such as he!

JOHN BURNS, the English labor leader, who is now in this country, has supplied a new method of explaining away an unpopular statement. It is the custom for a public man in this country to say "the reporter misunderstood me," or perhaps go so far as to say that be did not talk with the reporter at all. Mr. Burns says the remark credited to him that American workmen are "no better than slaves" is a "superstructure of misconstruction, based on a misunderstanding of what said."

WHEN New Mexioo and Utah adopt Constitutions, as they will soon have a right to, and are admitted to statehood, our list of territories will be cut down to four, Ari&ona, Oklahoma, Alaska r.nd District of Columbia. Arziona and Oklahoma are even now clamoring for the privileges of statehood, which they are reasonably sure of getting in the oourse of time, but Alaska and the District of Columbia will probably never attain that dignity. Senator Berry, of Arkansas, introduced a bill this week to create a territory out of the Indian territory to be named Tndianola, but his scheme is not likely to meet with success.

THE "solid south" must surely be broken when the chairman of the Democratic state committee of Tennessee, in a public interview, declares that he will have nothing to do with the efforts being made to go behind the returns and invalidate the election of a Republican governor. He even goes so far as to indulge in the following very heroio and commendable sentiment: "The Democracy of Tennessee can afford to be defeated, but it cannot afford to be dishonest it can afford, to lose a dozen elections, but It oannot afford to steal even one." That is the most significant utterance made by a southern politician for many years.

A GREAT man has come out of the south, from the state that led in secee sion, that produced John C. Calhoun, and whose election methods are condemned by members of the ruling party, and are the subject of contention even now in tbe Supreme court. This newlydiscovered great man is John Gary Evane, the successor of Tillman as governor of South Carolina^ who, ID his inaugural, this week, used this expression "South Carolina led in every great moral and political reform and it remains for os to set tbe pace for the nation, which will ultimately bring relief to the entire people." Tbe nation's gait will be a rapid one, indeed, when South Carolina sets the pace in any great moral or political reform.

THE first Russian church ever erected In this oountry was dedicated at Streator, III., on Sunday, and was dedicated by a bishop of the Greek church, who came all the way from Alaska to perform the oeremonies. The church is built en

tirely of th® remains of the Russian vestibule in the manufacturers' building at the World's Fair, and every inch of the wood used in the construction of the church earns from Russia originally. The immigration of Russians to this oountry, in I860 averaging 8iSl and In MW.S0ft.aQO, had led to the formation of many congregations of the Greek Oatholio church, but it la a notable f«9t that this Streator church Is the first church structure to be erected under the ausv ploea of that faith. There is a Greek Cathedral at Sitka, Alaska, but It was there wheu Russia sold that oountry to the United States.

THICRS should be win© law to reaoh and punish railroad managers for their blacklisting of employes for belonging to labor organisations, and then preventing them from securing employ* ment. The need of suoh a law, rigidly enforced, is emphasised by a report from Denver that 215 families of Ameri oan Railway Union men are on the verge of starvation and 400 unmarried men are destitute In oonsequenoe of the blacklist enforced by the railways against the men who struck last sum* mer. Railroad managers may, with some possible show of justification, refuse to re employ their own men who have been Implicated In suoh troubles, but to hound them down, and prevent them from securing otheremploymeut, with other roads, or in other lines, should be made a orlme punishable in the severest manner.

FOOTBALL was carried to the extent of being a malicious and brutal physical oontest this year, and it is probable the authorities of some of the representative eduoational institutions of the oountry will hereafter assert their authority and put a oheok on the disgraceful exhibitions. The deterioration of this health* fu! sport In the United States affords a perfect illustration of the contrast between tbe Amerioan and English spirit and temperament. The English colleges have had football for a oentury or more. The oontests are exciting and the colleges have their rivalries, but the sport is kept within the bounds of skill and science. With the Amerioan youth, as with the Americans generally, success must be attained at any hazard of life or money. Tbe football rivalry led to tbe adoption of more and more desperate means of winning games until this year malice and anger caused the contestants to struggle as for one another's lives.

WHEN John L. Sullivan recovered consciousness after. Corbett's knock-out blow be eagerly asked, "Am I licked?" President Cleveland's first utterance since the eleotion, bis message, leaves no doubt that he knows he has been "licked." There is in the utterance the humility of the big boy of the schoolyard who has been soundly thrashed. There is a shock, a surprise, in the experience of which he never had any conception. In closing, the president tells Congress that all responsibility rests on it that be is willing to help in any way he can, etc. The change in his atti tude toward the people, whom be usually scolded, and Congress, which once be was to "have on his hands," is so marked as to be extravagantly ridiculous, and will be very suggestive to the caricaturists of tbe illustrated press. All reports from Washington up to Monday were to the effect that defeated and disgruntled Democrats were sharpening their knives for use on tbe president, but If any one after reading the message should attack Mr. Cleveland he would be justly subjected to the criticism of hitting a man when he is down and begging for mercy."

Ho berg, Root & Co. 's Holiday Opening The holiday opening at Houerg, Root A Oo.'s began auspiciously this morning. The motto of this firm, "What's worth doing Is worth doing well," was thoroughly illustrated to-day. Their Immense store was completely transformed Into one great holiday bssar.

RACKET STORE

Do You Buy floods from Stores That Sell on Credit

Do you pay your cash there for goods when your neighbors stand alongside of you at the same counter and tell the clerks to "charge it?" Do you profess to have ordinary business sagacity? Do you blindly think that the store that sells any and all kinds of people "on time" can afford to give you full round value for your cash? If you think at all, you know It oan't be done. The store that retails goods on credit must lose heavily In any community. It doesn't make any sort of difference how large and ariatooratio that store may be —as the more style the more expenseit has got to figure to lose heavily. To keep it's head above water It must "pile on the profits" ao as to get from the oasli customers enoqgh profits to fill tbe terrible gaps made by the dead beat credit army. We've been there, and know what we're talking about, If we were buying goods at retail and had the cash to pay for them, we'd shun a credit store to the last. If we were a "dead beat" and wanted to buy goods on long time, to be paid for in eternity, we'd sleep mighty close to the oredlt store,

In buying at the cash store you are not paying for the terrible risks and losses of the merchant, as he has no suoh risks and losses as are always rob bing tbe oredit merohant. Take your oash where you get paid for ltj In big, round values at all times.
