'lOVVNI! has formally declined the populist nomination fur vice-president "for the good of the C.lllse." AND now the report comes trnm China that wily old l.i Hung Chang is plotting to the end that he may himself become emperor. Pl.OI'l.l: who know what they are talk ing about, tell I III: MlNhU that Sumpter is at present in a perfectly healthy con dition commercially, with as bright a prospect for the future as could be de sired. ON Till: inarch to I'ekln, to overcome the lirst ohstade offered by the Chinese ' to (he allied armies, the latter lost i.oo, killed and wounded. At this rate, there i Is going to be a whole lot of lighting ' helore the graves ot the dead inonatchs ' are desecrated. I IN life and treasure the Doer w.ir has' i nst England an enormous price "the game is not with the candle." hi money i $400,000,000, and in human life 50,000 good soldiers is the generally nicepted estimate nl the cost ot this attempt to .sele and hold a weak lepuhlL.

I he ac credited sour.es ot his Inhumation, gener ally a private letter Irom some railroad magnate to a peanut vender or an old sihonlmate at Haker, is what gives the1 reader tin- jolt. MONDAY Chicago pickers were asked , by the government to furnish .-,000,000 pounds of me.it within jo days, for the Ameiican soldiers in the Orient. This Is salJ to be the largest requisition ever issued by the government of the United States, And the packers vvere doubtless given to understand, too, that this meat mustn't be of the Alger kind, ekher. WHITING of the great changes which ' twenty years have wrought along the , line of the O. K. N.. an old timer who h is watched the progress, says in the Hast Oregonlin, now one hears "the monotonous whistle of the locomotive and the lay roar ot wheels" which is quoted here to call attention to the novelty of the expression. Who had thought before of monotony lurking in a steam whistle, or that the roar of wheels could be accu rately described as lay? 'I his writer Is a rival jf the late lamented Stephen using the wrong word in the lace. THnS"P P.iHrcnn nnrtrflilcfc linv l.irop ideas, ideas doubtless acquired by observ ing the operations of the trust magnates, who scorn to operate on a basis less broad in its conquering, enslaving effects than is the universe. A press dispatch from Washington states that Haron Fava, the Italian ambassador, lias communicated to the state department information showing that he believes a band of anarchists In Patterson, New Jersey, has conspired to assassinate all the crowned heads of Europe. According to the governor of New Jersey, every effort is being made by the state and police authorities toassist the detectives employed by the Italian officials to ascertain if such a baud exists, and its membership. , MCKINLKY is a good hater, and lilsi I hatred has a backbone, too. He "has it , i hi for" General Miles, on account ol that 1 'old Sherman trouble, when he tricked j the old gentleman to resign his seat In the senate in make a place for Mark HannaJ the general being some sort of a relation 1 of the Shermans, and an admirer of the statesman. This being the case, the' president has not allowed (jcner.il Miles, , the ranking othcer in the army, to win any i additional laurels, either In Cuba or th: I Philippines, and now he refuses a direct request to permit him to take a hand in the Chinese fighting. The only part he has taken in any of the recent wars was the little outing at Porto Rice, w hlch island ' was surrendered to an ensign over a tele-' phone wire. B.
