No more appropriations for state fairs. W e are not hearing so much about Algorism as formerly, since the work of investigation begun, especially from alleged republican journals, The yellow journals are too ein- barrassed to be silent. ------ • ------ T iie great peace jubilee is open in Chicago. It may be a little prema ture, but if any serious hitch should occur in tiie negotiations at Faris, it can quickly be converted into an emergency demonstration of hostili ties. Anything in the nature of a do nation is sure to strike the Spaniard favorably. The offer of the govern ment to give free transportation to families of officers from Cuba to Spain has resulted in an avalanche of weddings over the island. T he legislature did right in a boi ishing the board of railroad coni- missioners. Now let it take up the work of a little honest railroad legis lation, and give us a board elective by the people, with power to serve the people’s interest. T he military necessity of the Nicaragua canal has been so forcibly demonstrated by the recent war, that it will hereafter be difficult for a candid mind to ascribe anything but unpatriotic motives to a member of congress opposing the immediate building of the canal. W as there ever another such eco nomical body as the late special ses sion? Why, the members individ ually took charge of the cuspidors, waste-paper baskets, ink-stands, and stationery not used, and are keeping them for use at the regular session in January. That’s right.

The shortest rail line is via the Northern Pacific, 3237 miles; by the Nicaragua canal the Pacific could be reached in 2159 miles.

Democrats, as well as republicans, appear to think that the next senate will be controlled by the republicans. A gain of two or three seats will put that body in republican hands.
