The Republicans in Ohio are not betting three to one on McKinley. They can't find anybody to bet with.

There is to be an eclipse of the moon next, but it will not compare to the overshadowing Republican results of the 4th prox.

The dealers in dynamite and other explosives are receiving more benefit from the rainmakers than the drouth-stricken farmers.

Democracy in Iowa is said to have a black eye. It must surely be in bad shape. They have called on the Kansas Democracy for help.

In Kansas the Democratic orators speak; the Republican orators address; and the Alliance orators talk. This may have something to do with it.

Governor Campbell wants retraction. As he is going to be withdrawn from the gubernatorial chair of Ohio, he will undoubtedly get subtraction.

Mrs. Leslie Wilde's new husband stands 6 feet 4 inches in his stocking feet. The marriage is consequently entirely satisfactory to all the former suitors.

Snow comes early in Vermont. So do long evenings, big back-logs, doughnuts, and the cider pitcher. The old-fashioned people up there still contrive to squeeze a little comfort out of life.

Jay Gould has turned his executive business over to S. H. H. Clark. This will only be another item of apprehension as to what other line of speculation Gould will take his recreation in.

John Hoey, who has been with the Adams express company for forty years and its president for the last three, has been bounced, being short some $416,000. When a man has been faithful that long, there is evidently some mistake, and judgment in the case should be deferred.

In the Forum for November Edward A. Freeman, the English historian, the highest living authority perhaps on the subject, explains the political situation in Europe, pointing out the specific dangers to peace. Another remarkable article will appear in the same number on the armies and politics of Europe, from an American point of view, by Mr. William R. Thayer, who records the results of studies recently made in Europe of the political and military situation. These two articles together make a complete review of the present European situation, and give a clear understanding of the status of each of the great powers.

At 2 o'clock today the Morgan monument at Winfield will be unveiled. The monument was erected and paid for, at a cost of $675, by the citizens of Winfield, to commemorate the heroic act of the boy Jimmie Morgan, who lost his life in the attempt to rescue a comrade, younger and smaller than himself, from drowning in the Walnut river near Winfield several months ago. The subscription movement was put on foot by the Winfield Daily Courier and through its efforts mainly, it was carried through to completion. The monument will stand as a token of appreciation of self-sacrificing heroism on the part of the brave boy, and also in honor of the generous people who erected it.
