a man with a head on htm like Joe Simon

Yes, let us have the Australian ballot

it will prevent many frauds. ' Let us have
it, we say. ,
An appropriation of $100,000 Is about
the right one to make for the World's
Fair. Less than this would not enable us
to make the proper exhibit before the
world. More than this would run off as
leakage.
Too much tongue and not enough head
defeated the "farmer republicans" in their
choice for the presidency of the senate. I
When Joe Simon said thumbs up, the
thurrbs of hor.ny handed republican
grangers at once assumed an emphatic
perpendicularity.
Senator S'mon's political chicanery gave
Oregon a democratic supreme judge, a
democratic governor and will go a long
way toward giving the state to the demo
crats in 1S9J. Otfitnl Journal.
That may have been a very bad thing
for the republicans, but It was a good
thing for the people.

The firm that Issues this circular is com-
poed of republicans, and, doubtless, have
have been saving when talking politics
that the McKinley bill did not raise prices,
but when they come to business they sing
a different song. The truth is that near

The truth Is that its object was to raise

One of the most excellent of recent in
novations is the introduction of metal ceil
ings In place of wood and plaster. These
ceilings do no: shrink or burn like wood.
they will not stain, crack or fall, off like
plaster, but being permanent, durable, fire
proof and ornamental, will evidently su
percede both wood and plaster, besides be
ing in the end far more economical than
either.

The signs of the times now point to the
passage of the free coinage silver measure in
th senate Wednesday. It is now believed
that it will pass the house. The only nbstacie
is the speaker, R-ed. A imjor.ty of the hou se
U ii favor of it. Will Harrison veto it ? We
believe he will. If he is as Bourbonistic about
the silver bill as the election bill he will veto it
He learned nothing about the sentiments of
the people concerning the Force bill from t"e
