'•Pf asked the meaning of a cinch you can illustrate it by referring to the holds Tom Watson and Eugene V. Debs have on certain presidential nominations, Gan you name the seven candidates for president without refering to the newspapers? Os course you can’t name the seven candidates for vice president. This grand and glorious country naw has seven candidates so the presidency, that highest and most honorable office on eaftb, six of whom are still outside of its penitentiaries. Speak up! Speak up, ladies and gentlemen —anyone present, about the matter of purchasing the beautiful Ott grove for a public park. Everyone of you is entitled to be heard, whether, you favor the plan suggested or not. Djm't be backward; speak up! The Journal’s columns are at your service. Will some member of the independence party please do something to calm our anxiety concerning the wisdom of an injunction law that, if one’s home .were threatened by an incendiary mob, would conipel him to hire lawyers and have a jury summoned to decide, in a' deliberate manner, whether an injunction that might have prevented the | fire and .saved ruin to him and'disasfer to his fapiily ought to have been granted er not. 1 It will be recalled that Yoeman’s I lake northeast of town was stocked with German carp by the late Co). K. M. Johnson. They‘prove|d a failure, being little better in quality than the dog fish.—Goshen Denio.crat. Dog fish indeed! As though that humble game fish had not been slandered enough already! Pray, Mr. Democrat, what do you know about it? Not a soul about your office ever tasted of one in all his life. The only people who say dog fish are not good are those who never tried to eat them and don’t know what they are talking about, while

those who have eaten of then are always compelled to admit that they are good. But we don’t eat ’em! VV e never marred our reputation by tasting even the tiniest bit of one of them. We don’t dare to so long 1:8 we live in Syracuse and hope to keep any kind of a standing iu “po lite” society. The country learns with universal regret of the death of senator Wm B. Allison, of lowa, which occured Tuesday. He was 79 years old and had spent more continuous years in the senate than any other living member of that body. Though he belonged to the old school and was not in sympathy with the progressive spirit of the times, forj hi? signal ability and long and honorable carreer he was most highly respected by both his political friends and opponents. It is has been figured out that Pennsylvania has coal enough to last the country five hundred years yet;, which elide another of pur worries. The sun is pouring down upon the world every day a hundred thousand times as much energy as is required to run all its machinery, including its motor bicycles and its Hying machines that have not vet ,been invented, and if the world cannot, in five hundred years, find out bow to utilize of that “waste product” sufficient for its needs it will deserve a frost. ~ Mr. Walter Wellman, . writing from New York, says that the average New Yorker is unable to get even a small gbmmer of the true values in the national game of politics. “Eyery other soyt of game, he understands and plays a pretty good hand at,” says Mr. Willmar, “but in national politics'be \is a child, a foreigner, an outsider,'a tendeifoot,. a chump, a rube, a jay, a soft one, an easy mark, a lobster. Tie gets his general ideas from the New York papers, and th a people he talks with are bis own kind, the men who b-lieve just the way he does.. For them ‘downtown’i is the country.- Al! the information and wisdom in t|ie teorld center there. How can they.all be mistaken? Such an idea never enters their beads. They never stop to think that they are simply traveling id. a circle, and a very small one at that; that in politics they are a. sort of merry-go-round. They see everyone else mounted on his bobby horse, traveling the same way they]are, and they (sing out, • Why, .man, it is all settled. Can’t you see: it is unanimous?’ 'These Wall! street odds-

makers nothing whatever of the rest of the country. The West to them is a sort of terra incognita which they indicate, if they deign to consider 1 it at all, with a vague sweep of pie hard in the direction of Hobokep.” Ten thousand members of the Uniform Rank, Knights ot Pythias, in their uniforms, marched through the streets of the city of Boston, at which city the supreme lodge of that order and the supreme temple of Pythian Sisters are in session this week. There were twenty-five brigades in the parade, from every state in the Union’ and from Canada, -TLis truly American order, still less than a half century, old, is destined to d > much good in the world. I ■ . I - ago there were thirteen and a half million votes polled in this country, of which the republicans received 7,623,486, the democrats 5,077,971, the socialists 402,283, the prohibitionists 258,536, the populists 117,183, and the socialist-la-bors 31,243. This year there will probably be fourteen million votes cast, of which the republicans are to receive eight millions, the democrats eight, millions, the independence party one million, the vrohibitionsts one million the socialists one million and the populists one million.
