What's in a name? George Wash ington (col.) is in jail in Washington for the perpetration of a brutal crime on one of his own children, which if he was down in this country would put a rope around his neck in short order. Recorder Goff, of New York, has been so often reversed by the higher courts that he doesn't look natural iy he isn't standing on his head. The general impression seems to be that Recorder Goff should be knocked to pieces and built over again. The Boston Herald will, bet "a plug hat" that the favorite son of Massachusetts will be President of the U. S. before the favorite son of Pennsylvania is.

The Con vention will meet June 3d. If the gpld men win it will knock Black burn out for the Senatorship, and if the silver men win it will knock Car lisle out as a prospective Presidential candidate. And the friends of both are spreading themselves. Senator Vest, who was a Kentuckian before he became a Missourian, will stump the State for silver. The Philadelphia Ledger remarks that it is "pleasant to observe the cheerfulness of the Democrats of Pennsylvania in attending a convenr tion in a State which, in all probabil ity, will give a majority of 200,000 against them." Their cheerfulness is picturesque in view of the fact that' they constructed a platform on which they invite the national' Democracy to stand, which looks very much like a coffin. Miss Kennedy, a young lady not yet 20, runs the Merchants' Bank of Forsythe, Montana, makes loans, re ceives deposits and does about all the work in the institution, the owner of which is a non-resident but has confidence enough in her business tact and discriminating judgment to entrust his money to her manage ment. That's the kind of a new woman who amounts to something. Some of the gold organs have made the discovery that the wage earners are the greatest creditor class in this country. But they are not very busy clipping coupons, manipu lating bonds, drawing interest or anything of that sort as far as we have heard. The Matabeles are plucky fellows but when they attack fortifications where the British soldiers can turn machine guns on them and mow them down the Britons have rather the advantage of them, The strawberry fellows around Lakeland, Florida, were in it this season. . Some of them realized from $1200 to $1,500 an acre on their berries. They have house-lifting and mov ing down fine these days.
