IN RE POLITICS.
Local campaigns are odious in that
they afford certain people, without any
other recourse for reprials. an opening
for the indulgence of personal spleen,
demonstrations invariably the more vic
ious because of the ease with which they
are launched in the public pies under
the guise of political matter or semi
campaign material. It may be said that
editors are core-ponsible for the publi
cation of such stuff and they are, know
ing its character and the animus behind
it, an insight not always practicable
when it reaches the editorial desk under
plea of urgency and expediency direct
from friendly hands, and tlie only safe
rule known in obviation of the evil, U
the enforced signing of the contribu
tions by the author. This goes far to
mitigate the bold severity of such
communications, fixes the actual ac
countability and lessens the frequency of
the offerings.
A political season is the harvest-time
of the coward with a grouch and he
cannot be too well watched, in th-
press and outside of it.

SKETCHES.
W. IseacreSay, did you read that
storv about the man who is troubled
over the fact that a growth of hair is
appearing on his tongue, thus depriv
ing him of the power of speech. lo you
know I have a theory in regard to the
starting of that growth of hair. I be
lieve that the man had a cold ami
that he started to take some cough
medicine and took hair elixir instead.
II. Enpeck Oh, you are noted for
your theories. But if you can show me
that vou are riaht in this instance ana
can tell me what kind of elixir he took
I will give you $1000 in cash.

SIR HENRY IRVING.
John Henry Brodribb, knighted in
1S95 as Sir Henry Irving, made his stage
debut as the villian of a melo drama in
the English provinces. Tradition has it
that in one at he appeared with a
piece of raw beef concealed under his
coat collar, that the faithful dog of the
heroine might nightly leap at his
throat in the interest of virtue endang
ered and the dramatic uniti-.
That was stage management, an art
in which Irving for years led his con
temporaries in the two great English
speaking land. Opinions might differ
at to Mr. Irving's power a an actor 01
great parts; that he was as a manager
in.li irreaf nn one could doubt, rl-
delitr in detail, historic study as a pre
requisite to constumtng and scene paint-

duce tine plays in a fine manner. It
might be well if we had with us still an
