st. Paul is boiling mad because some
of her knights had to pay five cents a
class for water in Chicago. Not a
Whimper, however, about the price paid
. for whiskey. Yet Chicago is bank full
and thirty feet in channel with the
stronger liquid.
OF course 1t is easy to prove by the
Poland report and by all the newspapers,
both Republican and Democratic pub
lished at the time, that Gen. Garfield
did take ten shares Of the Credit Mobil-
Ter stock, but as he got only $500 in mon
ey out of it, it wasn't big thing after
all, His friends think as the poor girl
did about her baby. 1T is such little
thing, il ought not to hurt ones char
acter much"
It seems to be pretty we'll proven that
Gen. Hancock swore terribly during
the rebellion. This is probably told to
commend him to Jacksonian Democrats
who are proud of Gen. Jackson's record
"A the most original and voluminous
swearer the American nation has pro-
duced. But what we would like to
know is whether Gen. Hancock .swore
ut the Rebels or the Federals. If the
former, we will have t, let him off. If
the latter, of course he will have to be
held to strict account.
d. M. Bennett, editor of the New
York Truth Seeker, who served thirteen
months in the Albany Pen:tentiary, os-
tensibly for sending book through the
mails bnt really for publishing social
ed in6del paper, sailed on the 4th inst.
to represent the Liberals of the United
States at the Brussels Congress. We
hope he will be received in Europe as
We in America are in habit of receiv-
ing those Europeans who suffer for HUI
man freedom and human rights.
Reviewing the sequence Of events it
appears that DR.. Tanner has proved
that he is neither fraud" nor ''fool"
and that Miss Fancher is not necessa-
rily an ''impostor," and lie has succeed
ed in supplying the wise DR.. Hammond
with valuable lesson in medical sci
ence-and also, it is to be hoped, a VAL
liable lesson in good manners.-Pioneer
Press.
We have taken hand in this Fan
cher Hammond Tanner matter for two
years and have always maintained that
Hammond was the ''fool" and that DR..
Tanner and Miss Fancher were not
"frauds.' The result proves that we
were correct. Hammond and Beard
are too "regular," too respectable"
and too insufferably egotistical to be of
much use in advancing science.
The N. Y. Tribune says:
Here are two facts which anybody
who thinks the country would be bet
tered by a change of parties would do
well to consider. In 1860. after twenty
years of Democratic rule, the govern
ment found it hard work to realize 50
cents on the dollar for its per cent.
bonds. In 1880, after twenty years of
Republican rule. the government per
cent. bonds sell readily at S1.Os premi-
um. Comment is unnecessary.
But the reason for this demand for
Government bonds is that they are un-
taxed. A man can put his million dol
lars into bonds, draw his $4,000 inter-
est, and pay no taxes OH his capital.
The littlest banker in the country
could sell bonds on such terms as we'll
AS John Sherman.
In an interview with the Wheeling,
West Va, Leader, Gen. Weaver, the
Greenb .ck candidate for the Pres:den-
cy, said:
Two things are impossible in the
Southern states from the very nature of
things. One is the restoration of Re-
publican supremacy in the south, and
the other in the uSelessness of Supp0s-
ing that the Republicans and liberal
minded of that section will ever favor
Bourbon Democracy. Hence the oppor-
tunity of the Greenback party. in whose
mission am more deeply than ever in
terested, for by it labor is to be enamel
pated and freedom restored to the south
ern states.''
This is exactly the position which the
ADVANCE took two years ago and we
xre still inclined to think the position
was correct.
