AND Hmporer William Is also doing
considerable talking about the Chinese
.situation.
'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

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.

bags. A shortage In the grain bag mat-1
ket was thieateiuled until this shipment
nriived. I line is an Immense u licit ,
itop in the "Inland Empiie" this season.

spec! illy ot building rallroids, his been
working over time o late. 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.

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.
