With the "System" poundiiiK the life out of the stock markets, where was Tom I.nwtoii when the lights went out? Wonder if the shoe men and the street car men were in cahoots 011 the strike. Anyhow, both expect to gain at the expense of the pub lie s discomfort. r Union men are great fellows to howl for liberty but are very mix ious that their employers are not allowed any when it comes to hir ing and discharging their men. r White tiaiH-T has been boosted an other 2.5 cents a hundred by the paper trust. This means finite a Christmas present to the octopus by the papers of the coast. However, the. subscription price of 1 he Review will remain at the old f ij-tire. f Again 1 lie Review calls upon Col. Moiiahau to pull the tlitigcis out of the thinglchoh on the electric wiles that the lights may shed their cllulgcnt rays 011 the supikt table stioiu' enough so that the head of the house may not mistake a plate of fried tn.or clams for one of parsnips. The street car strike inaugurated by outsiders last .Saturday night was a dismal failuie. It was not a strike of the street car employes, but one that was the pioduct of the walking delegates.

It has always asked for large appropriutioiis,aud ahvavs got there. It assesses a most capacious maw, rsutliitiu seems to satisfy it.
