Ben Butler is living, "in his own egotism." Anything to keep from paying rent. The World. Gtn.Strelglit of Indiana, who tunnel ed his way out of Llbby prison with a butcher knif during tha war time, says nobody can stop McDonald's boom among the bourbons in Indiana. We grieve to find the Chicago Times calling the ablest Democrat in active life ii Illinois "Bill" Morrison. But the shaggy eye-browed statesman of the prairie can stand it. Boston Post. Gen. Butler has decided not to take a copy of the Bible presented to him by a friend from the executive department. This is the only gain the state has made from Gen. Butler's administration. Boston Journal, . ' The New York Tribune tries to find a resemblance in the two tails of the comet to the two wing9 of the Democracy. But there is no resemblance. The Dem ocracy does not come from the heavens. Buffalo Express. Slowly bnt surely is the policy of the Democratic party making itself appar ent. By the time the national conven tion meets the well defined issues of the party will be free trade and dead nig gers. Chicago Netcs. I do not belive In the hnmbng of civil service reform, so called. I want to turn out the Republicans and place the goyernmeat, in all its details, in the hands of eood Democrats. Congressman Eaton of Connecticut, Bern. It is safe to presume that while Mr. Pendleton hatched the civil service bill U keep Democrats away from the fire Dlace he did aot know be was so soon to be turned out into the coll bleak night himself. Cincinnati Enquirer, Dem. The Cincinnati Enquirer the day be fore Payne's nomination for the senate dropped from poetry into prose as follows: As dome email cliff, that lifts its awful form Above the clouds, and midway leaves the storm So Payne towers hlarh above all warring com . petitors below. Speaker Carlisle is "surprised and an noyed at the character of the public in terviews of Bland and Buckner on finan cial questions." There .has never beea any doubt as to their views, so sirprise seems hardly the right word. Post t Tribune. Der New York Rcpublikaner, a German Republican weekly published in New York, proposes to give espical prominence this year to the issue of protection and free trade, which it recognizes as of irn fiortance to German-American median cs and artisans. Kansas Democrats are threatening to carry that state for the presidential nominee of their party this year. The bourbon of the far western, wind-swept praries is a simple and impulsive crea ture who sees No. 1 corn on every mul len. Philadelphia Record. ' ' A pair of knitted socks 2,000 years old has been discovered in an Egyptian tomb. Mr. Tilden says the report that they are a pair of his old ones, which he lost while looking for the remains of the Democratic party, is a wicked inveution of the enemy. Norristown Herald. . The Vicksbnrg (Miss.)IIerald contra dicts with some warmth a story circula ted that state to the effect that tae Hop. James L. Alcorn was defeated at the electioa in November for member of the board of supperyisor in Coahoma county, that the sturdy old goyenor re ceived every vote In the district. A strong element in the Democracy contend that the "only way to wipe oat the blot on the escutcheon.of the united States is to elect Samuel J. Tilden aud Thomas A. Hendricks." This is on that principle that led a fellow to oil his coat all over to - wipe out a grease spot. Kansas City Journal. The claim is often made that a major ity of Republicans in the northwest are in favor of free trade. The . Chicago Inter Ocean denies this, aud 6ays that "not a single state or congressional dis trict Republican convention in the aorthwest has ever adopted a free trade, or revenue reform resolution." Post t Tribune. Gov. Foster is, according to the Co lumbus correspondent of the Springfield (Mass.) Republican, still of the ' opinion that Ben. Butler is a dangerous candi date for the Presidency. The funny part of the tiling is that Foster bolieves Butler would'be dangerous to the Re publicans. Cincinnati , Commercial Gazette. - Among the curiosities of tho present session of congress is a bill introduced by Mr. Weller, a Greenback member' from Iowa, providing for the issue of $500,000,000 in treasury note,, with which to pay to soldiers and sailors the difference in value between the. money paid to them and gold, together with 8 per cent interest thereon. , 1 Prohibition, if adopted, would not be generally enforced, and the sale of liquer piratically stopped, until people looked upon the liquor traffic as they look upon arson and larceny. So we still maintaiu that in any community where prohibi tion could be enforced where witnesses would freely tell and juryman act im partially it is possible under existing law. Allegan Gazette. The Pestmastor general rules that the character of paper as an article of mer chandise, within the meaning of tho Eostal laws, is not changed by reason of aving printing on it "which is not cal culated to instruct amuse or cultivate the mind or taste, or impart general in- . formation." This may be retarded as a tiAflnite settlement of the ordinary Dem ocratic organ. St. Louis Globe Demo- Congressman Finerty was with Cust er's command on the Rosebud, and in the preliminary skirmishes rode in front of the troops, although his duties as a newspaper correspondent did not de mand it. The fact that he came back alive while so many were slaughtered, testifies to the Indians' undying hatred for the whiteman. Boston Post. A judicious tariff is not one for pro tection only, aor for revenue only, nor again for revenue with the shadowed outlines of an incidental tail appended to It, but it is a tariff of both revenue and protection, one and inseperably ad justed and perfected as to do justice to the great interests ef the country aud injustice to none. Henry B. Payne in 1883. Ex-Senator John Pool of North Caro lina, who labored hard to break up the Ku Klux Klan tn the southern states while in the senate in 1809 and 1870. is making a moderate living practising law in Washington. The senator did more, perhaps, than any other Republi can to build up and lead the Republican party to success in the old nerth state after the war. Col. L. S. Howell, formerly business editor of the Louisville Commercial, subsequently associated press agent at Washington D. C, and correspondent of seyeral leading papers, and now editor of the Portland Oregouian, will proba bly become a candidate for govenor of Washington territory.

An Indianopolis gentleman took bis wife to a dentist's to haveatooth drawn, and the man of forceps broke her jaw tft the very first wrench. Did the husband of the woman fall upon the dentist and smite him hip and thigh, and sit down on him and pulverize him and knock the office furniture into a state of confusion with his professional frame, and sue him for 126,000,000 damages? Drop the dentist a line and ask him where he got those diamond studs. Bismarck Tribune. Beldazzle's wife had a cold the other day, and couldn't speak loud. "Oh my love," said he in a sympathetic tone, "I hope you will never bo like Joe. Jeffer son." "Why?" she whispered. "Be cause he has recovered his voice," re marked the brute, as he dodged through the door, just as it was struck by a vol ume of Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress." Boston Budget.

TI10 IliiriiionloiiM Diiiiorrncy, From the Albany Journal. The Indication of a split in the Demo cratic majority of congress, multiply as it becomes evident that the election of Speaker Carlisle really meant tariff rs form. The Democratic party has grown so accustomed to marching up boldly to an issue under a leader in no sympathy with that issue, and when successful in securing position, promptly disavowing ana fleeing from the spirit it has evoked that it can hardly understand Mr. Car lisle's sincerity. It has begun to dawn upon the intelligence of Ohio Democrats that tariff reform means a reduction of the duties on wool, Louisiana Democrats are learning that sugar taxes are to be cut down, South Carolina Democrats that their protected rice must go, and Alaba ma Democrats fear for iron. There is a general howling of indignation already from all those quarters that this was not what they meant when they elected Car lisle. They did not understand when they yoted for him that he was insincere in his professions. Tho tariff reform they desired only affected some other congressman's "pretected iuterests." A very pretty row is already on foot in the Democratic-party which promises to re sult in an open suit if Mr. Carlisle keeps to his program. Under similar cir cumstances other Democrats have gener ally backed down. Mr. Carlisle is said to bo obstinate, courageous aim sincere. Here is what a Democratic paper, the Cincinnati Times-Star says of the action of Democracy in Ohio: "It is doubtful if the disgraceful operations of the syndiate of corruption at Columbus have a paral lel in the annals of Ohio poltics. A de liberate attempt is made to elect a Sena tor by the use of money and the distribu tion of the spoils. Very well. Now what are tho fellows who believe all this geing to do about it?" "Yes.sir," said Jinkins, "Smithers is u man who always keeps his word, but then i he has to." I "How is that?" asked Jones. J "Because no one will take it."
