Prof. GiiBtrill, the Haltinioro Annrchist, recently tolil his com nuli's at Philadelphia that the first thing to he done was 'lo kill olf nil the roportera of tho cnpittilistlo pres3." The professor will he sorry for this when he gets sohcr. The silver question is now nu tating the American people, ami there is some talk of introducing a hill for the coinage of more of this liu-tal. If it is introduced it will come from the mining states, who are iiuxious to lind a market for their hnllion at increased value. Work on tho Cascade locks was stopped Decoinhor 1. The follow ing somewhat trito hut not mis placed remark is found in tho Wnitshurg Times: "Tho locks will prohnbly ho completed and ready for husiues in about a hun dred years hence; but yon can't .duals most generally tell wliat '.'u least expect tho most."

Ma iJcluicr, tho sweetheart oT Anarchist Lingg the bomb makei', has just been received at tho Jolt- penitentiary, Illinois, to servo a entenco of two years for tho rriino of larceny. It will be re uiumhercd that she win the only friend and visitor that Liugg had up to the time he suicided by blowing his bond ofT with a dyna mite cap to cscapo the hangman. It is the penurious kind of econ omy to deprive your family of a lurid paper. Tho wife doirt get out to see and learu as docs the father and children, and hence is deprived of a sensu of enjoyment that nerves to relievo many hours of loneliness when she is alone or with the small children, and then tin- home paper is an educator of the children, as they will read of the people and incidents with which tlioy are acquainted. There ix nothing that win bo introduced in a family that will learn the children to read Taster and bettor than the home paper. A newly appointed justice of the peace in Northern Idaho was nuked what he would charge to marry a forlorn looking couple that had appeared to him from the backwoods. Tho J. 1. thought he could perforin the ceremony for fifty cents. The man allowed that he migt raiso that sum. On the performnneo of tho ceremony, the justice called for his feu. After considerable fumbling in the pock et of hifl overalls the bridegroom thought he had either lost it or left it "to hum." The J. P. hav ing no dosiro to lose so largo a prize as lifty cents, calmly inform ed tho rustic youth that hu wu "unmarried." A bystander came to the iciouo of the young man and loarod him lifty cents which wan handed to his honor. The justice then remarked that they wero married and at liberty to do r.art. The Jiouorablu, tho Cumini sioners of thu District of Coluin bia, are distinctly unhappy. Tho local prohibition element uoked these gentlemen to restrict, in thu granting of licenses for the ensu ing year, tho number of saloon, as far as possible; out of this sug gestion souieoi.e evolved the bril limit idea of restricting tho num ber of bar rooms in any square to four. Kxaotly how the sheep should bo choiod from thu wolves in such cases was not deemed of sufficient impoitmico to furiiihh an objection to tho now rule. Tho rule was adopted and now the commissioners aro trying to en force it. Among the first license granted in squares having an ex cessive number or bar rooms, wore licenses fo places notorious for vi olations of law places that pay no attention to tho Sunday and after-inidnight closing law. .Sa loon, keepers on tho same tqiiare, who close promptly and keep or derly places, have been ignored. J n tho emergency tho distillers and wholesale dealers of Philadcl phia, lhtltiuiore, Louisville and other cities, havo come forward and will endeavor to enlist the c.o operation of a sulliuicut number or senators to be ablo to bhow the new commissioners that unless they retract tho now rule they will fail of continuation by tho senate. 1 f j ii A young liinn 1ms reached a turning point in his life when he goes down a side street to avoiil meeting a man whd has loaned him money.
