It is not always the man w ho looks the wisest
who knows the most, but most people don't
know this, so that it will pay you to look just
as wise as you possibly can.
Thus far President Harrison has not fallen
over his office furniture in his mad haste to
appoint representative labor men tooflice.. The
only time apparently that the laboting element
is fully recognized and estimated at its full
worth is when votes arc needed.

Somebody in the White House has a head
ache and immediately the cry goes up that a
new executive mansion must be built. There
is more sickness in the families of men who

among the occupants of that structure.

One hundred years ago to-morrow the
first president of the United States was in
augurated. The 30th day of April has
been declared a holiday for the nation, and
will be observed in all parts of the country
as such. If it shall have the effect of in
fusing the American people with that un
selfish patriotism and unalloyed love of
constitutional liberty that characterized
Washington and the patriots of his day,the
observance will not have been in vain.
The disastrous defeats which are being
meted out to the prohibitionists in the
elections that are being had from time lo
time seem to them inexplicable. But to a
ccol, candid, rational man' there is nothing
in these defeats that might not have been
expected in view of the very "cranky"
policy which the leaders of that party have
adopted. First they dtclare emphatically
that they favor the entire repeal of internal
revenue taxes upon liquors as against re
duction of taxes upon the necessaries of
life. This is so repugnant to sound sense,
good judgment, the best interests of the
people, that in the eyes of many voter
prohibitionists are to be regarded as a
laughing stock rather than a political par
ty. Then again their bitter opposition t
all license even where prohibition can not
be enforced caps the climax of foolishness
and puts the party before the public in a
very unpopular attitude. This brings de
feat.
From time to time since Hayes occupied
the office of president the country has been
gravely Informed of some scheme by which
the republican party was going to divide
the south and build up a respectable arm
of their party in that section. Hayes had
his theory which was to use the official
patronage in that section to induce respec
table white men to unite with republicans.
This being in the nature of a bribe.of course
it was rejected by a'l decent people Mid
none but corrupt scalawags could be induc
ed to accept it. Now we are told that
through the means of high taiiff protec
tion the south is to be brought over, but
the people of the south are not protection
ists and the foolish scheme wi.l meet with
the same failure that has attended the
other schemes.
GEORGE WASHINGTON'S RELATIVES.
It is well known that the illustrious
Father ot hi Country left no descendants
to perpetuate his name, but there are a few
individuals scattered about who point with
just pride to the fact that by dint of sheer
good fortune they are descended from the
ame distinguished stock. The committee
having In charge the arrangements for the
coming centennial inauguration celebra
tion had this latter fact in mind.and decid
ed to invite the relatives of the first presl
dent to the famous ball. But nothing in
connection with that aristocratic affair goes
smoothly, and, according to the Washing
ton ( riiic, the same bad mess has been
made of the invitations as of everything
else relating to the great society event based
on pedigree. The three nearest living
relatlyes of George Washington a-e George
Washington Ball of Virginia, Catheron
Thompson Ball and Colonel Ebenczer
llurgcss Ball, Washington. They are di
rect descendants of the family from which
Mary Ball, the mother of Washington,
came, but their claim Is still further
strengthened by the fact that Captain Ball
of Millinbeclt married Frances Washing
', ton, George Washington's niece, and it is
from this pair that the present Balls are
descended. But none of t!ie Balls were
Invited by the committee. Mrs. General
llancoik was the first to notice the omis
sion, and wrote the committee about Colo
lie; Ball, who earned his title fighting for
the country that his Illustrious relative was
the father of. Congressman Owen has
also interested himself in the matter.but as
yet Colonel fall has received no invitation.

Will 6ome protectionist tell us w ho is ben
rfited in this case ? With a government
on the one hand demanding a tax and the
twine trust on the other hand with a 'corn,
er,' and demanding 21 cents a pound for
twine, the far.ncr is between the upperand
nether millstones. Will the farmer who
60 ardently voted for protection last fall
stop now to think that by his own act he
made it possible for this condition of things
to exist, and that, upon the principle that
everv man 11 presumed to intend the neces
sary consequence of his own act, he now
has no riht to complain at the hard con
di'ion imposed by the twine trust ?
