THE DEFENDERS of Dion Boucicault do not favor Mormonism ; all they insist on is that the gentleman had a right to several more wives than are permitted other men. WE CALL the attention of school-trustees and A.

ROGER Q. MILLS, speaking of the new tariff law, says the country is on the verge of ruin. We bad feared that it had already swung off, and it is extremely kind in Roger to give it time to say its prayers. E ARE a progressive people. There are more than the usual number of murders in this state, so that the experiment of electrocusion is likely to be repeated to the complete satisfaction of an inquiring public. DDRESS to the fire-department—" Gentlemen, I am greatly impressed with your display and your evident ability.

HE MORE we think of it the more we want to congratulate the Re- publican majority of the house on their firmness in refusing to print those speeches. As for the Democrats, they would have printed anything, the coarse, immoral creatures ! DECEPTIVE COIN. HE LATE CONGRESS stopped the coinage of three-cent_nickel- pieces and one-dollar and three-dollar gold-pieces. Probably these coins have caused more expletives of a sanguinary nature than all the shin-plasters of the late war put together. They were more provocative of regret and anger from their similarity to other money than any other coins ever uttered. Confederate money was no deception because the holder of it knew what it was worth as waste-paper; but the three-cent piece always wanted to pass itself for a dime, the dollar generally went as a three-center, and the three-dollar piece got away from the careless man at the low rate of a dime or a nickel. When we contemplate the thousands of dollars in pocket-money that we have lost in that way it makes us shudder. BLACK CAPS FOR WHITE-CAPS. HE MEN called white-caps would be more appropriately known if they were called women- whippers. Their law is ignorance and their practice is assassination of life and character. Meaner and more cowardly and cruel organ- izations were never known, and it is astounding that there are men among them so deplorably lost to intelligence as to believe they are acting righteously. The law ought to show no mercy to such besot- ted ignorance. The communities that tolerate it are as bad as any- thing in Utah or darkest Africa. THE WICKED PEOPLE, R. CURTIS regrets rather more than ever, in his last ad- dress, that the president hasn't kept his Democratic friends in office; in fact he seems to think that Mr. Harrison ought to begin a thorough reform by calling Mr. Cleveland back to the chair. Mr. Curtis's sentences are always polished and pret- ty; but he ought to condemn the people as the original offenders for vot- ing in the extraordinary manner they did in 1888. Why, indeed, should there have been a ballot-box when Mr. Cleveland and his subordinates were doing so excellently ? JUSTICE TO CHICAGO, ‘THEY TELL of a Chicago heiress who is to be married to a foreign title the possessor of which has a large income. That is as it should be. In point of fact, since the selection of the site of the world’s fair any foreigner who gets a Chicago girl ought to pay a million for his happiness. She's worth it, and she'll have the ducats to show for it as soon as her pa sells his corner lot. Yea, and moreover, and besides, she’s worth it anyhow, GIVE GROVER FAIR PLAY. THERE OUGHT to have been in the new tariff bill a clause protecting ex-presidents from Democratic liars. The persistency of these fellows in following and misreporting the words and'the physical and mental con- dition of Mr. Cleveland has created a large amount of sympathy for that gentleman, who, after all, has done nothing worse than attend to his own business since he’ left Washington. The malice of every line written of him by these Democrats—for Republicans, happily, have treated him with all the respect that belongs to a decent, well-behaved ex-president —has been so miserably apparent that it has won him friends among those who Would otherwise have been his opponents or looked upon him with indifference. comicbooks.com i
