Editorial Notes

Cleveland' favorito SODg Ís saiil t be "The ghl I left bebiod me." principal public servan t has been given notice to quit, Be-golly. üut of 11,000 governmeut emyloyes at Washington, ,,000 are deuiocrats. Now t'or civil service reform, gaya ;. Williain Curtís. All right, TJilly, yra sball see what vc shall see. Grand liapMs lias a real live society for the prevention of cruel ty to animáis, with inoney in its treasury, too ! A fact ! St. John is being frecly spoken of as a membei of Cleveland's cablnet. What are you laugbing about? It woulil bc perfect ly proper. Wadswortb, a republtcan, has been elected to congress from tlie ninth district of Kentucky by 102 majorlty. "The world do move." Grover should invite President Tuyloi Brtffaan Young's sucerssor, into bis cab net, so as to have all his "independent' constituency represen tod. Gov. Cleveland has ordered his private secretary to destroy all letten aaking for positions undcr liiin as president, without ihowing thein to hiniself. We have got a prohibition president who cautions tlie petiple about "sumptiiary legislation." Au anomnly, isn"t it? The proliibitionist and saloon keeper, band in band, went to the polls and votcd for him; another anomaly. We have some respect for ihc good judginent of the newspaper editor who steals our items and anieles ontrlght, but the contemptible fellow who takes our bard-earned cHorts aml credits them to "Exchange," is a ïight down mean euss- there now. It seems as if'the papers would get tired of stating every morning : "Mr. Cleveland spent another quiet day at Albany yesterday, attemling to business and receivingCKllers." Why in the name of GreatScott or Belva Lockwood don't he kick upa stir in some way? Let peonle know Jie is alive.
