TiiK'fexas democracy want Mills
for senator—ami so does The
lkadek.
Two thousand people are said to
be Buffering with la grippe at To-
peka, Kansas.
The gallant Texas statesninn,
RogerQ. Mills, is quite sick at the
national capital.
A son of Joaquin Miller is in
Jail in Ukiah, California, charged
with horso stealing.
Texas is rejoicing over the fact
the aliun laud law has been declar-
ed unconstitutional by the supreme
court.
The chief ot the Cherokee na-
tion, Joel B. Mayes, did Tuesday at
Tahlequah, the capital of that
nation.
A stringent prohibition bill is
expected to pass the South Caroli-
na legislature. Governor Tillman
will sign it
The state grange of Iowa wants
the Uquor bushiest turned over to
I he government and run as the
poskoftices now are.
The initial number of the Record
has been receive:! from Davis, I, T.
It is a neat, six-column folio and a
very readable paper.
Ponderosity wonders if the
Paul Valley boys will this year
sing with their old-time glee their
favorite Christinas anthem—"God
bless our rowdy souls," eh ?
Benatoh Gibbon wants an in-
come tax levied to pay pensions.
Let's have it, by all means. It will
tax a class who are able to p;iy the
pensions, ami it will array a class
and tin influence against the pen-
sion fraud that will go to work to
overthrow It. The men who enjoy
incomes are mostly well-to-do peo-
ple, and the greater part of this
:*hH8 live in the north. Put the
burden of pensions on them, and
pretty soon we will see a pause in
the work of adding to the pension
list, and probably the undoing of
some of the legislation now on the
statute books.—Fort Worth Ga-
zette.
Ma. Harrison Htill ihinks that
federal inteiference with the south-
ern elections would be a good thing,
but ho carefully refrains from mak-
ing any recommendation with re-
spect to those southern voters of
African origin that are run over
into Indiana on the eve of every
important election to vote the re-
publican ticket. Mr. Harrison is
believed to have carried Indiana by
the aid of these colonized voters in
1888, and, it renominated, he will
need their help next year.
The Louisville Times say** "Like
the poet who caught at love and
filled his arms with boys, Mr. Mills'
abortive effort for speakership
is likely to land him in the
senate. Texas is stirred up, and
Iwhen the special session of the
legislature convenes next spring,
I her favorite son will be consoled in
} the matter of his defeat in the
house by his elevation to the sen-
ate. As they say in England, Mills
is to bo kicked up stairs "
The full democratic national
committee will meet in Washing-
ton, 1). C., Januury 21, 1892, to con-
sider applications for the location
of the national convention.
Kansas City is a candidate for
the democratic national convention
and the papers of that city are
pressing her claims for it. The
Leader hopes they will succeed.
As a mark of joy at the election
of Mr. Crisp, the people of Anicr-
Icus, Georgia, his home, have or-
dered made for the speaker an ex-
pensive gavel of the hard Georgia
pine.
A rbpuiilican clerk called the
democratic house to order, but
Tom Reed and all the surviving
rads had to take their aeats on the
floor. Things have changed since
the flfty-flrpt congr-ss <Iied.-L.m- ;t0 8"-V contempo
isville Times.
The other day a Minneapolis
lady school teacher got married
without notifying the chief super-
intendent of schools, whereupon
that official summarily dismissed
her from oflli'e. The papers of the
convention city are up in arms
over the matter. The chief super-
intendent has not been heard from.
Let judgment be suspended until
he speaks. Maybe he wanted
the girl himself.
Mr. Harrison wants this coun-
try to interfere for the suppression
of the African slave trade. But as
Boston furnishes most of the rum
to carry it on, Mr. Tom Reed will
hardly see his way clear to very
greater zeal in the premises now
than when he showed when the
matter was up in the last con-
gress.—St. Louis Republic.

Isn't that right?"
The New York Post, referring
to Mr. Crisp's opinions, says: "Let
nobody assume that he is going to
wreck the fair prospects of his par-
ty, either by a reduced silver policy,
or by a reactionary tariff policy, or j to get her pension from the govern-
by engineering his office for or mcnt.
