SAYS the Jackson Clarion: "Mr. Randall
! il under the impression tn at the tarlt ques-
| ton will not he sgitsted at tue next session
| of Congress" But Mr.. Randall will find
himself mistaken. Nearly all the Demo
| cratic senators and representatives Of the
| late Congress, who are members Of the next,
! are pledged by their record to advocate lis
revision. The new Democratic members are
| committed by their pledges and their prin-
| ciples 10 the same course. The present bill
| contains the worst features OF the old robber
| system.
| THE Cincinnati NeUs says the Democrats
| Of Ohio never had finer prospect for sue
| GEES. 1t is one of those cases where nothing
| without can interfere. Only folly within can
| do the Democratic party Of Cincinnati harm.
/ 1t ia all within their own hands. II they
| nominate good ticket from top TO bottom,
no independent movement in aid OF the Re
| publican party can affect Democracy. As
| for the Republican party, it is not in line
| ring. But Democracy has 20 right to assume
| that it will be trusted until it shall take
| pains 10 prove by Its nominations that it is
deserving.
TIE New Jersey Legislature is looking
after the boys of the State. The Senate has
passed 3 law making it an ohense, punish
able with fine of $40, 10 sell cigarettes or
| tobacco in any fern to minors The Legis-
| lature has not an appreciation Of the beauu-
| full, for if there is anything that gives
| greater charm TO a village than advertise
| ments OF soap and liver.pads stenciled on
| the board fences, it is let OF loaterlsh boys
| sucking cigarettes. But New Jersey Is
| State where they send thieving bank officers
l 10 the penitentisry, and OF coUrse 1t cannot
I amount TO much.
Gov. WALLER, of Connecticut, is credited
with saying that be does not see any need oil
fast day proclamation, and that 1t certain
ly is none OF his business to recommend any
particular method of observing such day.
| True to his convictions, he has issued the
| briefest proclamation of its Glass on record,
ss follows: "In recognition OF the religious
| character of The people Of this com mon
wealth, and in conformity to revered Gus.
| tom of our pious forefathers, designate and
| set apart Friday, the twenty-third day OF
this month of March, as day of fasting,
humiliation and prayer"
RHODE ISLAND bids fair to have some real
| excitement over its governorship. In former
| days the Office was hotly contested for, and
large sums of money helped to scatter vic
| tory and defeat. OF late there has been
| something like friendly rotation in Office, the
leading members of the party in power set
| Ting upon some suitable person in very
orderly manner. But now the minority
hopes TO put Mr.. William Sprague forward,
| and TO give the Republicans no end OF an
noysnce. Speakers are TO be rashly imported
from Massachusetts, in Mr.. Sprague's behalf,
ASST every good Rhode Island voter dld not
look with horror upon the State which In
duced Roger Williams to found the good
city Of Providence.
In New York last week The Executive
Committee of the Autobiography League
held meeting at which speeches were made
denouncing the governor for his veto OF the
| FIVE cent fare bill and stigmstizing him as
RAILROAD lawyer" Resolutions were passed
| condemning the Assembfymen from that city
for not voting to carry the bill over the veto;
| requesting the railroad commissioners TO
| investigate the methods by which the CAPT
tai sciualiy expended by the elevated COM
panies ia made to appear greater than It
| really is, and urging the Legislature to take
| prompt action to wipe out the Manhattan
| Railway Company, as corporation organ
Ized wholly TO swindle the public.
Hen. SAMUEL F. CARY, who ran with
Peter Cooper on the p. esidsntial ticket a
few years ago, is still living. Mr.. Cooper is
still living also. Gen. Cary, now an old man,
is one of the most pleasant orators on the
American roslrum. He is one OF our old
time temperance speakers, and is nearly as
we'll known Throughout the United States as
is John B. Cough, and in the old times OF
anti slavery was almost as powerful IN his
appeals against the hateful Institution as
Wendell Phillips or William Lloyd CARR
son. Gen. Cary was for short time in
Consr,ss, and his career there was bril-
liant ca. Probably Ahe greatest mistakes
of his ife have besniin the field Of politics
TIE PriladeIp ha Press, OF Tuesday, prints
the following in its editorial columns: "R
B. Hayes for governor of Ohio sounds well
The next campaign in that State will be 8
very important one, and the result will bear
heavily on the canvass OF 1884. The tenn
persnce people still hold the balance o.
power and while Mr.. Hayes's prohibition
views are in accord with the Prohibitionists
he is personally popular with the Germans
; who voted with the Democrats last year
Mr.. Hayes has already beaten Thurman
Allen and Pendleton, ard has been thre'
; times elected governor. Why not again
His nomination would present the new spec
acle OF an ex-president running for gov
ernor. Besides, Mr.. Hayes is becoming to'
rapidly forgotten"
THE Charleston Neps and Courier has pen
etrated the hide of the correspondent OF thu
New York Times, and says: 1--WE have ye
TO hear of anything in the South which
i, Frank Wilkeson considers even telerabll
, good, or OF any class of its population tn a
he does cot lie about. Why ia it go? VIVA
is his mission in the South? His last lettel
, gives a clew to the mystery. The disguis
of an impsrtial observer has been cast asid
snd the livery of the Suns political faith i
at last worn by its henGhmen. The Sun i
the slave of protection, and Wilkeson an
nounces that the South opposes protection
from motives of resentment toward th
North" The SIN desires the abolition G
the internal revenue system, and Wllkesol
declares that the Southern people oppos'
such abolition because the bulk of interna
revenue taxes COR : out OF Northern pockets
The Sun OK Joses any appropriation
: for river and harbor improvements
and Wilkeson SAYS that the Sout
des res full national treasury 30 that it ma
S grab money under the fraudulent guse' 0
such improvements. These are bat few o
many points in which Wilksson's malignit
is an ingenious echo of the Suns editorials
, That the statements of its agent are cunnin
! and deliberate falsehoods the Sun know
perfectly we'll; but it prints these mischiey
Gus inventions with the declaration, edi
torially, that their author lie honest aud sin

of its hope that his conclusions may prov
to be overdrawn.' The Suns hypocrisy
: equal to its venom; and that is saying goo

and white, have no traducer so malignan
