It looks as though the English would lead America in the practical use of the aeroplane. The English postoffice is about at once to undertake an ex- periment of this nature.

The lemon, of tariff n, hee become an issue in the Unit- s senate, and it is said to be interfering with progress. Read this from a Boston paper:, “The senate of the United States is being Beld up In its progress hecause agita- by a lem- on. Tn other words, the failure of the two homses to agree on the free list is dge to the attractions of the lemon tapiff which the Californians insist up- om Pwtting the lemon in the free list wa® deme in the house by Chairman Umderwood when the bill came back Qo the senate in such an adroit Menney that the Californ able W stave it off. Tt was struck ont W Semator Lakoliette of the senate @emierees. but the house is insisting upon having its way in this matter. s were not The'whole affair Is an instance of the force of the local argument in tariff making. Whether our lemons will, if protected, be inundated by the pauper | lemons of some other country is ap- parently the great question. Califor- nia seems to have some of the same percine proclivities that are ibuted to folk on this sic of the continent.” When it comes t self-interest, hu- manity differs but little. Porcine pro clivities seem to come natural to all, and it only takes proper conditions to develop them anywhere. HOT AIR IN PLATFORMS, Messrs, Banks and Mahan of the general assembly, although represes ing different parties, g that po- ltical platforms are hot air, much to the amusement of the press and the amazement of partisan supporters. Being themseives masters of hot air expulsion. their ' non-partisan unity | serves to reveal what astute political \eaders think a platform is rather than whet the author or authors intended it be. omest men cannot make digshonest vlatforms: but men who are making pepular bids for support can make in- sincere promiges to beat the people out pf their votes. The quality of po- litieal platforms is usually-superior to the quality of the men who laugh at sensihle recommendations and by their conduct change them with frise pre- tences. The rank and file of hoth parties 1 believe that political promises in platforms should be honored, and they resent the trickery and bad faith which results in their being ignored. Both Mahan and Banks may yet be scorched by the rank and file of their parties for such frankness with refer- ence to insincere work. it 1s not likel that J. Pierpont Mor- gan will write a book on “Kings Who Have Met Me!” but Upton Sinclair might do such a thing under the same circumstances. A Kansas judge has shown his view of female equality by sentencing a woman te the chain gang. So a bad woman is equal to a man, but a good woman is not. Oklaboma has a politician whose name is Tehee who seldom s ts a laugh: and Canada has a priest named Forget, who remembers about every- thing. only by fair concessions.
