No emi- nent Republican should be forced into declining a nomination in advance. The party should be absolutely free in 1892 to select as a candidate the one who at that time seems to offer the most effective .combination of merit and strength. t"V ' V I®"<John L. Sullivan announces that la 1892 he will be a Democratic candi­ date for Congress from the Sixth Massa­ chusetts district. Meanwhile he is reso­ lutely resisting the temptation to kno?k the daylights out of Frank P.

You cannot turn in this country without seeing a dozen 'soncrete and incontrovertible argu­ ments" for protection to -home indus- In the leginlative fight last fall be- ^preen Murch and Donnelly, the Chicago •> Post was a strong supporter of Donnelly. The paper has undoubtedly had its eyes opened as is shown by the following from tiiat paper: "'Little' Johnny Donnelly, who misrepresents the Eighth district in the general assembly, is bitterly opposed to all bills regulating street railways--or aay other kind of railways. "Little" Johnny doesn't know much, generally speaking; but he does 'know enough to know' on which side hie bread is buttered. This he learned from the late Elijah ^ liephistopheles Haines." t. In their report on the extermina­ tion of the Mafia assassins, the New Or­ leans grand jury says that "there exist In the office of the Italian consul in thi« city the recorded names of about eleven hundred Italians, landed here within a few years, with official records of their criminality in Italy and Sicily." As nearly or quite all these Italian bandits We now American citizens, it would be useless to ask that they be shipped to Hie domain of King Humbert, whose prime minister is so much concerned for their happiness and welfare. They will continue among us as examples of the vicious stupidity of our naturalization laws. */ . I®* A Kansas man has invented a pro- Otss for manufacturing eggs at a cost of three cents per dozen. This makes a for­ midable competitor to the barnyard fowl. The egg is in a rubber sack instead of shell, as it can be shipped in this man­ ner with less danger of breaking. It can be manufactured with a shell just as | easily as with the rubber. It is said that * Hie yolk and white cannot . be distin- f guished from the true egg, and when ®ooked haB the same flavor. The inven- '»./ now declares that since electricity is ®e' k® can put a spark of electricity in > egg and it will hatch. The inventor ' Of this age haB overcome Dame Nature . In a good many ways, but this takes the tiake. era i-it I^TIn Louisiana they have public functionaries called jury commissioners, Whose office is to see that the courts are •applied with proper persons for jury •Hervice and to guard the administration Of justice against the crime called "jury fixing." How well this contrivance ful­ fills its end may be gathered from the following statement in the report of the Kew Orleans grand jury on the informal Extermination of the Mafia assassins: The official relations of the jury com­ missioners to the court in the trial of Criminal cases are so intimate and far- aeachingin their consequences that the Itial-ad ministration of their duties has become the fountain of the successful fix log of jurors in important trials. Evi 4ence shows that the lists of names were tampered with when drawn from the jury wheel and before they reached the jury­ -box. O'Malley was put in possession of the lists almost immediately after the Sautes were drawn. Influential friends : alone could .accomplish these ends, but It was secured in the person of one Of the commissioners. at The mental and financial failure oH' "Old Hutch," Chicago's notorious stock exchange gambler, removes from the world of speculation one of its most pic turesqiio features, but it can hardly be- denied that society at large is a gainer by his retirement and it is doubtful if his loss will be greatly mourned by those with whom he has come in contact dur­ ing his long and active career. By a series of sharp transactions in which the widest latitude was given to the question­ able sentiment that "the end justified the means," he accumulated a large fortune, but it was never used to make himself or anyone else better or happier and finally it went as it came, over the board of the stock exchange. Innumerable stories are told of "Old Hutch's" shrewdness but we do not reniember that they ever served to illustrate his generosity, kind­ ness of heart or any of the Christain vir­ tues to which his posterity is likely to refer with pride. He believed implicitly in that Good old plan, that those should get who have the power, and those should keep who can. He has, never, so far as known, deviated from that principal, and in his rise and fall he has exemplified its various appli­ cations. It is quite possible that the report of Mr. Hutchinson's condition is exagger ated. It is undoubtedly jsnflij' lost heavily during the lafetj^ years, but it is far from certai^frffathe is penni­ less and were it not foi*he fact that it is generally concludedjftat his mind is failing, no surprisaf WOuld be felt if he should make a buffi ant turn iiv the mar­ ket, more conddfrve to his Own interests than to the Jnuanimity of his friends. e President's View*. ourse of his letter to the West- Commercial Congress at Kan- , which assembled April 14, Harrison said : Your deliberations will probably also embrace the consideration of the ques­ tion of the volume and character of our currency. It will not be possible for me in this letter, to enter upon any elaborate discussion of these questions. One or two things I will say, and first, I believe that every person who thoughtfully con­ siders the question will agree with me upon a proposition which is at the bane of all my considerations of the currency question; namely, that any dollar, paper or coin, that is issued by the United States must be made and kept in its com­ mercial uses as good as any other dollar. So long as any paper money issued or authorized by the United States Govern­ ment is accepted in commercial use as the equivalent of the best coined dollar that we issue, and so long as every coined dollar, whether of silver or gold, is assured of an equal value, in commercial use, there need be no fear as to an excess of money. The more such money the better. But, on the other hand, when any issue of paper or coin dollars, is in buying and selling rated at a less value than other paper or coined dollars, we have passed the limit of safe experiment in finance. If we have dollars of different values, only the poorest will circulate. The farmer and the laborer who are not, in hourly touch with the ticker or the telegraph, will require above all other classes of our community a dollar full of value. Fluctuations and depreciations are always at the first cost of these classes of our community. The banker and the speculator anticipate, discount, and often profit by such fluctuations. It is very easy under the impulse of excitement or the stress of money stringency to fall into the slough of a depreciated or irre­ deemable currency. It is a very painful and slow business to get out of when once in. I have always believed, and do now more than ever believe, in bimetalism, and favor the fullest use of silver in con­ nection with our currency that is com­ patible with the maintenance of the purity of the gold and silver dollar in their com­ mercial uses. Nothing in my judgment would so much retard the restoration of the free use of silver by the commercial nations of the world as legislation adopted by us that would result in plac­ ing this country upon a basis of silver mofiometalism. The legislation adopted by the first session of the Fifty-first Congress, I was assured by leading advo­ cates of free coinage, representative of the silver States, would promptly and permanently bring silver to 129 per ounce and keep it there. That anticipa­ tion has not been realized. Our larger use of silver has apparently, and for rea­ sons not yet agreed upon, diminished the demand for silver in China and India. What Woman Can Do. She can<come to a conclusion without the slighrest trouble of reasoning on it and no sane man can do that. Six of them can talk at once and get along first rate and no two men can do that. She can safely stick fifty pins in her dress while he is getting one under his nail. She is as cool as a cucumber in half a dozen tight dresses and skirts, while a man will sweat and fume and growl in one loose shirt. She can talk as sweet as peaches and cream to the woman she hates, while two men would be punching each other's heads before they had exchanged ten words. She can throw a stone with a curve that would be a fortune to a base-ball pitcher. She can say "no" in such « low voice that it means "yes." She can sharpen a lead pencil if you give her plenty of time and plenty of pen cils. She can dance all night in a pair of shoes two sizes too small for her, and enjoy every minute of the time. She can appreciate a kiss from her hus­ band seventy-five years after the mar­ riage ceremony is performed. She can go to church and afterwards tell you what every woman in the con gregation had on, and in some rare in­ stances can give you some faint idea of what the text was. She can walk half the night with a col­ icky baby in her arms without once ex­ pressing the desire of_ murdering the infant. She can do more in a minute than man in an hour and do it better. She can drive a man crazy for twenty- four hours and then bring him to para­ dise in two seconds by simply tickling him under the chin, and there does not live that mortal son erf Adam's misery who can do it.--Ex. LARAMIE, Wyoming, April 18, '91. EDITOR PLAINDEALEK This is the sec­ ond city in this State, having a varie­ gated population of Bix or seven thous­ ands. The negro, Indian, Caucasian, Mongolian and all intermediate shades mix and mingle iu picturesque profusion, in the numerous hotels, saloons and gambling houses. The Wyoming lan­ guage is mostly used, and is more forci­ ble and direct than grammatical and limpid. Fists, guns and cuss-words are the most common expletives. Bill Nye established his reputation and beard while here as editor of the Laramie Boomerang. The Laramie River waters the land­ scape, and relieves its monotony. Fifty- four miles east, the State Capital, Chey­ enne, containing about 12,000 people, basks in the eternal sunshine and drouth of the Eastern slope of the Rockies. WyomiDg would be an awfully dry State, were it not for its big majority of beer bottles, whisky casks and female voters. At Rock Springs, a large coal mining town in Western Wyoming, two years ago, the miners offered up as a blood sacrifice to the god of high wages, 28 Mongolians; for which Uncle Sam, or the U. P. Co., hadjto put ujMpdeftraiky, ' This State jg- lit§.vyjfi«/one of magnifi- ce^t ijjktancee. We, the Scott Family, Mad to travel sometimes 150 miles before we could strike a town big enough to hold us; and we are not much of a family, either. We scared up a troop of antelope- on the desert, on one occasion. They scampered away from the train in a frightened group, their yellow and white spots shining in the sun. When first seen they were not more than sixty rods away, but they made short work of get­ ting out of range over the hills. It was just my luck not'to have my Winchester ready. From Ogden toTheyenne is 514 miles, and as bleak, barren, desolate, monot­ onous a trip as any facetious tourist need to hanker after. For hundreds of miles an alkali desert presents no changes. Not a grass blade, nor plant, nor shrub, nor tree, excepting the lone sage brush. Even they look thirsty, parched, and brown. But Wyoming has the festive cow-boy, and many valuable coal beds, and hundreds of hardy gold hunters, are even now crowding the season, in their mad rush to Gold Hill, where recent new leads of great value are reported. At Rawlins, the county-seat of Carbon, the ladies W3re out in full force on elec­ tion day, and by combining with the Re­ publicans, carried the town for no license; something novel for a Wyoming city. We are now approaching civilization once more, and are only about 160 miles from Denver, which city, we learn, has come out again into the sunlight at her last election, and completely buried out of sight the gang of thugs, thieves and ballot box stuffers, which for two years past has plundered the city and State. Secretary Blaine's last centre shot at the Marquis Di Rudini and the balance of the Dago outfit, should be a settler. If not, let pompous Italy move one or two of her lumbering iron-clad whales over to New Orleans. There would be plenty of harpoons and sword-fish to meet them about the Gulf. We opine that the ex- rebel Gen. Beauregard and the Louisiana Lottery will still be safe. Henceforth let Mafia, highbinder, anarchist and train robber be treated alike. So long as law performs its functions, all right. Law is a cause, instituted to effect order and justice. When through bribery and cor­ ruption law produces the opposite effects, and brings forth disorder and injustice, then it is high time that order and jus­ tice should rise up in their might and right, and triumph over law. Oth®r- wise, chaos will ensue. This necessity was illustrated in the American Revolu­ tion, and in the days of the vigilance committee of San Francisco. Excess of crime and the weakness of law adminis­ trators, made these much to be regretted occasions force themselves upon us. Let Rome howl and eat humble pie at the feet of Uncle Sam, if her fear of the Mafia has led her into an absurd and humiliat­ ing blunder. She must learn from ex­ perience that she cannot, with impunity, insult civilization, by demanding money and apologies when justice has been meted out to her expelled murderers and outlaws. Our surplus army of com­ bative tramps would like no better pas­ time than cuffing Italian ears, and wrestling with organ grinders. A little brush with Humbert would wake us up, and rub off a little of the accumulated rust and dust; but we would smile and sing (Air Sweet Bombye) Throughout tha war and bustle, In all its toil and tussle, Be ou our nerve and muscle. Though elbows we might jostle. With croaker or with fossil, or *Ub Italian vassal. Yet we would light and rustle, And make the Dago hustle. BOB SCOTT. P. S.--Just arrived at Denver. Been absent nearly ten mouths. Fear this city has not missed me. Have traveled in those ten months over 7,000 miles by rail, stage and steamer, yalked about the city to-day and find some fifteen or twenty new buildings costing from two hundred thousands to one million dollars each in process of erection.

Heart disease is by lar the most fre­ quent cause of sudden death, which in three out of four cases is unsuspected. The symptoms are not generally under­ stood. These are: a habit of lying on the right side, short breath, pain or dis­ tress in side, back or shoulder, irregular pulse, asthma, weak and hungry spells, wind in stomach, swelling of ankles or dropsy, oppression, dry cough and smothering. Dr. Miles' illustrated book on heart disease free at Geo. W.

The following is a clipping from the AMERICAN* FARM NEWS for March, 1891. 'A "Ferlngl" Implement. ; « "It Is a common spying that flrtfifS'lB' mighty little diflerence betwixt twee- die-dum and tweedle-dpe. Neither Is t l it re any striking diflerer.ee between1 the numerous suUy cultivators now in general USSt farmer has discover ed (no matter fiuui the claim of the manufacturer] that sulky culllvatorn ayerage about the same. In Hindou the work '•ferlngl' means "something different." And It affords the Ameri­ can Farm News pleasure to record the fact that there is at last in the mark«t a regular feringi In the way of a Culti­ vator-- eomethtng entirely different from anything which the tiller of the soli has ever before bad presented to bis notice. We refer to the Kraus Sulky Cultivator. This new cul­ tivator Is just as much ahead of the eld style cultivator as an electric street ear is ahead of a mule team. The Kraus. IB the only cultivator ever manufactured which can be moved In any and all directions including the shovels by foot pressure. It has pivot axle and its action is so quick that it Is no trick at all to dodge an obstruction. The shovels are held to their work by the Bcachioe itself and not by the exer tions of the driver. It is impossible to slip on hill sides and it is so perfect ly simple, so readily adjusted and so easilv operated, that a twelre-year-old boy can perform the labor of a man. The heavy-weight editor mounted the Kraus the other day and be was to tickled with It that he ordered one for the American Farm News ex­ perimental farm, and he proposes to ride it hhnself just for fun. For really it is fun to operate it compured to the- back-breaking, fide-aching, leg-weary old-fashioned culivator. One trial will convince any Intelligent man that the Eraus Sulky Cultivator is the best whtcb human genius has In* vented. A description of it is im­ possible. It must be seen to be appre­ ciated. /Any farmer In any community with a Eraus to exhibit can sell enough cultivators to his neighbors in twenty-foar hours to pay for bis own."
