Daily Democrat Dead men tell no tales, but, in St. Louis, they vote the Republican ticket. Governor Hill, of New York, denies the report that he intends to be married. He saj s that bachelorhood suits him well enough. Indiana men who now go to Washington feel so much at home there that they insist on calling the Goddess of Liberty by her first name. The important announcement comes by tele graph from Washington that Baby McKee kept the whole nite 1 louse awake night before last The Emperor of Germany is an early riser. When he takes his usual drive through the Thiergarten at 8:30 he has not only breakfasted but done more than an hour's hard work. The Impress is nearly always her consort's compan ion of these early drives. President Harrison's decision to make con. gressmen and senators brokers who shall deal in the offices of their several states is a long step backward. Harrison evidently does not believe in the civil service declaration ol his party plat' foni. The Prince of Wales has, perhaps, the finest railway coach in Europe. The South eastern built it and it contains seven rooms, there being a study, with a little library, a couple of bed rooms, a dressing roam and a bath room. The bed room is most lux uriously furnished in old gold silk, being lighted by electricity, and the paneling is beautifully painted. The Prince uses his carriage for all his journeys 6outh. Two more iron mills connected with the Reading works have gone down, throwing 1 So men and boys out of employment. These failures and collapses in the iron trade have averaged about one a day since March 4, which fact goes a great way to show that neither wages nor business nor wealth can depend upon customs duties far existence ; much less upon an elective en dorsement of such customs duties. The report comes from Washington that Cel, Dudley, of Indiana, Is to be assistant secretary of state. Chairman Huston, of the Indiana state committee, Is to be treas urer, instead of assistant secretary, as orig inally arranged. Richard C Parsons,form erly marshal of the supreme court,wh was mixedup In the DeGolyer pavement and Memphis and ElPaso legislation, expects to be comptroller of currency. It Is under stood that the minutes of the court at the time he retired from the marshal's office will be filed with his other recommenda tions. The District of Columbia politicians say that Myron M Parker, a real estate agent,and formerly assistant postmaster at Washington.will be nominated for district commissioner, to succeed Mr Webb. They are telling a very funny story about Major Stofer, late of the St Louis Republic. It seems Stofer was at the races, or some thing equally absorbing, and entered his office late at night, sans news, sans energy, sans nerve, sans hustle. He found a splen did local story In a Baltimore paper con cerning a Missouri man, and hastily clipped It out, marked it "Special to the Republic!' and fired it into the telegraph office. The next morning he received a telegram from the home office, asking why In thunder he had telegraphed the Baltimore market as "news" to a St Louis paper. It had turned out that Stofer had pasted his matter wrong side up. Instead of sending his good story, he had patted that down and left the mark et report to be sent, and the St Louis paper received word that in Baltimore lard was worth thirteen cents, butter twenty-five cents.potatoes $1.13 per bushel, etc. Stofer Is one of the best fellows in the world, which Is demonstrated by the fact that he enjoys a good joke, even when It is on him self a rare good faculty ,as most of us want the joke on the other fellow.

A druggist recently received a visit from a lantern jawed, hollow eyed man, who asked in cadave rous tones if he could give him any remedy that would drive away a nightmare like care that was preying upon his health. The man of drugs nodded and compounded a mixture of quinine, worm wood, rhubarb and epsom salts, with a dash of castor oil, and offered it to the despair ing patient, who apathetically gulped it down.
