The anti-machine voters of Chicago find it difficult in aecttring* candidate for mayor. Kraukliu MoWagli, Farwel and Judge Grcsham have each declined the use of their n»mp.

Sbmatob^ivkjkbr, of Wisconsin, whose term hm expired, s*ys hp will accept no office in the gift of the president. Mr. Spooner appears tired oi politics and in his words is indicated a retirement therefrom.

The' chanccs of election are in Estee's favor, but theie having been no caucus nomination tho contest may ba much gtslgal of that *, luctnnea is on the eve of a great religious awakening and a tidal wave has come to every quarter of Knox •county. '"'Revival meetings are in pro gress at almost every house of worship in the county.

Thh turn the Bohring sea fisheries dispute with Great Britain has taken, discounts the English naval officer's predictions of an ensanguined contest between the nations. The differences now seem to be in a fair way of settlement by submitting them to arbitration.

According to report the feature that will most distinguish Senator Pfeffer is his whiskers. Wo doubt this very much. He will be most distinguished forth© regularity with which he will draw his monthly salary. But perhaps the senator will not be an exception in this respect

As H0T8D in the columns of Th* Nswa yesterday, Gen. John M. Palmer was elected to the senate on the 154th ballott by the nscessary vote of 10$, to one for Streeter and 100 for C.J. Lindley, the republican vote being oat solid for the latter. Two ol the F. M. B. A. votes went to Palmer, while the remaining vote went to Streeter. Si ends the great contest. It is well that the Strugs gle is over.

Tm legislatures gone, but the Van dalia railroad still manages to "hump" its trains through on schedule time. The Indianapolis Sentinel pawed up the ground all around itself and tried to raise a great cloud of dust und«r which to hide the legislature, but it failed. Tho majority of the legislature did not seem to appreciate the Sentinel and adjourned with oat tearing up the track of the Vandalia, ditching any of its trains or pntUng Hon. W.

Thk proposition of Secretary of War Proctor to enlist two thousand or more Indians in the army may-afford a *olu lion to some extent of the Indian problem, but it will not prevent the reds from going on tho war path if they are to be armed. Disarming is certainly the surest preventive. It they were disarmed and w«jp« not subjected to robbery by Indian agents and post traders there would be few Indian wars. Their enlistment as soldiers will have Uttla merit beyond taking so many from tho war path.

A GREAT BLUNDER.

By the terms of the Jaw relating to corporations, every stockholder has one vote i«nri no more, in the conduct of the business of a corporation, no difference how much stock or how little each may hold. The bill was passed into a law and members had no knowledge that such a provision was contained therein. It was finally discovered and the obnoxious provision sought to be changed, but it was too late, the governor having already signed the bill making it a law. It is apparent to any one that this is a bungling piece of business and ba» very serious aspects. It is an overturning of a settled method of conducting stock corporations and if the law shall stand may bring about serious complications in business circles, and also disaster.

A bwluajtt array of counsel on either side will appear before the supreme court in the argument of the pros and cons of the tariff law. Notwithstanding the interpretation given Judge Blodget« remarks in sending the case to the higher court, it signifies little. It is believed, and with good reason, that the supreme court will sustain the law, not only for the reason that the omission does^not invalidate it, but for the weighty reason that to invalidate the tariff law would create chaos in cutting off the revenues of the government derived from tariff duties. The supreme court will not put tbe country in any such financial peril on account of any mere technicality. It is safe to say that so far as the court is con-

cerned

the tariff bill will be alive mea

sure and in effect after the decision is reached. Tiut Nsws presents some facts in this issue bearing upon the matter of street paving which are just now of interest to the people. Embraced in the article are important facts concerning the cost of brick paving, the weight or pressure that brick properly made and prepared will sustain, together with the cost pirsquare yard of paving. Tkb News does not believe that the authorities will make any mistake in brick paving providing tho brick are vitrified, laid upon a four to six inch concrete foundation and pitched after laying'that vuiirse between proi-*'^./ fine gravel and the sand -/^c»'*ce that is left filled with hot Viitch. There can be no donbt of tho great durabitity of such pavingr and at the same time will be comparatively noiseless under the wheels of com raeroe.

HERE AND THERE.

Terr# Hauto seems to be in it with any of the metropolitan cities when it cotaes to being a place of retreat for fugitives from other places. Scarcely a week passes that word is not received at police headquarters asking that somo fugitive boy or girl, man or woman be arrested if found here and they quite frequently state that the runaways aro either thought to have started this way or are known positively to be here. When auch a notice comes accompanied by a good description !of the parties wanted they are usually custody within twen ty-four hours if they are in the city. The latest runaway affair was the departure of Emily Clifford and Ira Jackson from Oakland City, Ind., coming to this city they said, to escape their father, and to seek employment. In the latter purpose they were highly successful more so than is usually the case as they found a good place in GaUaway's resturant at Ninth and Chestnut when they bad gone but one square from the depot. Here they were when found by the police, and on being taken to police headquarters and questioned some facts that were quite serious were developed and others that were humorous were also brought to light. When asked their motive for leaving home tho girls mid that their father had made improper advances towards them, and they leit Such coinlaints as the above are becoming of too »ot occurrence, and almost every case comes from tho rural districts.

Many throw up their hands in horror at the sight of a girl being hauled through the streets in tbe patrol wagon in chargd of the police but if they would reflect a moment they would surely decide that it is not only proper hot humane to cut short the progress of a country girl before she has gone to rain. The two girls mentioned above would have fallen easy victims, for they were as verdant a pair as has been scooped in for many a day. They had nev«r ridden on the cam before their flight and a pair of girls mors ignorant of the ways of the world could not posei blybe found.

JOHN UK CD FUN.

John certainly did have a love of fun in his "make up" which made him a jolly companion for four boys who In tarn did like to "plague the poor old chap," tho family horse.

John was black-coated, strong and intelligent. His tricks were not vioioua ones- Ho never kicked, balked nor ran away, being sober and well conducted when driven or ridden by the senior members of the family.

Be had a fondness for his master who petted hits a great deal. The women

could drive him. He brought them home in just the same condition they started out. ft was only with the boys of the family that John ventured to "joke."

There were four of them—??rpss$» Walter, Henry and Albert bright young fellows who delighted to tickle John's nose with a fragrant smelling apple, snatching it away when he prepared to enjoy it.

John was a pig in his love for mellow ripe apples. The boys thought it fun to tease him a little and make him anxious to get It, before giving it up to him-

They really did teach him to play "hide and seek" with them. One of his tricks was to sigh and swell up his body when being saddled, if one of the little boys was about to ride him.

Of course the saddle was Invariably turned after they had ridden a littfe distance. I Another trick was snatching a cap from their heads and galloping away with it to the furthest corner, whinnying defianco to the capless youngster.

John looked at me, and plainly saw fun in his eyes. Be made a nip at an apple geranium and then went along as sober as judges are said to be.

Qis expression plainly said to me: "These four boys seated upon my back aro hunting for..funs.ru help find it."

Ernest and Albert whistled gayly, Henry and Walter urged "lazy bones" along. "Such a good horse as he is. It isn't every one that would carry such a load of restless boys,'4 was my thought, as John slowly crept along, head down, apparently meditating deeply

In an hour, four boys, wet ana muddy, walked in at the gate, angry and ready .to "have it out with that sly old horse.'• "What has he done?" inquired.

Done 1'° chorused an indignant qfcfar* tetto of boyish voices. "He poked along as if he was almost asleep until we got into the water. All at once be laid down, spilled us off his back and just galloped back home." "He did It on purpose, of course he did. He thinks he can play tricks on us little boys. He don't dare try 'em with the men." "I'd tike to pound his back," said one.

We went to the back gate and saw him standing there, looking meek and subdued, only—I detected a twinkle in his eyes. 1*

He received a sliding which ho did not heed. A few minutes afterward I saw him in the stable-yard with four boys perched upon his back. Ella Guernsey, in Prairie Farmer. y:«^

But at the atuno time, as you go north, there seems a greater intent to kill than at the south, where the intention seems to be to lacerate and make the tnoat horrid wounds those which will produce the greatest amount of misery. One singular propensity of an excited Gilbert islander Is to bite off nones. This accounts for the great nnmber of noseless persons one meets.
