Professor Lutoslawski, a distin
guished Russian-Pole says America
needs a licking. We don t deny it,
but we would like to see the color
of the fellow's hair that will come
over and do the job. We'll bet lo'
bits it isn't 11 'slawski or tiny other
subject of the little fnthcr.
t
Arkansas spectacular senator,
Jelterson Davis, is getting some
cheat) notoriety by roasting the
newspapers. There is this conso
lation, it will not cost so much in
human lives nud gold dollars to I
show how many kinds of a dm nud
fool he is ns it did his infamous
namesake .to years ago.
,
Some of our American publica
tions are boasting of their age but
they cnuuot compare with the
Pekin, (China) Gazette, which
was established In the ye.tr on A.
I), and has been published weekly
since 1351 or 100 years before Col-
timbus discovered America. It is
to be discontinued soon nud suc
ceeded by the Government Gazette
which will be operated oil the mod
ern style of journalism.
(
The Hood Hiver News Letter,
the enterprising rag we used to
hustle for gives T. T. Geer the
merry 1 la! Ha! over his defeat in
the race before the piimarics. We
think it is very "unpretty" of it.
A mail who can take defeat as
cheerfully and pay his election
bills as promptly as did Hon. T.
T. Geer has our sympathy and
friendship. Here is hoping he may
yet be United States senator or
member of the cabinet.
Uiir readers will he interested in
tne iiuniial statement of the city
treasurer on the last page of this
issue. This shows the financial
condition of the city to be At. We
still leel like congratulating the
council of 10078 011 the result of
their manipulation of the affairs of
the city. There are one or two ob
jections WHICH ohlrude themselves
upon us. The first is that the old
council dealt too lightly with the
criminal class. The second, that
it was not vigorous enough in the
mntter of street improvement. This
was not entirely their fault, but if
they had been more insistent they
would have accomplished more and
would have been less generally
-cussed. Looking duck over
their term of ollice, however, there
nre many things St. Johns may feel
very much grniiiicu over and can
freely commend the good judgement
displayed.

that there is an otdiauce against
