BEN BUFFERS letter of acceptance is
out. Like everything Ben does, the let.
ter has breezy originality and an ag-
gressive tone which make it decidedly in
teresting. 1t is a haraugue rather than an
acceptance and is full of plauslbility if
not of good argument. There are few
men who have a clearer perception of
the tendencies of parties or a fuller
knowledge of the evils which flourish
under the present administration. But
Ter could be great statesman if he was
less demagogue but his present letter
is hardly up to the plane of statesman
ship but more in the nature of pronun-
ciamento. With keen satire he lays bare
the hypocrisy of the republican party in
its attempt to hoodwink the laborer while
working in the interest of capital solely.
The capitalist demands protection while
paying starvation wages and importing
pauper labor.
Ben's letter will be widely read and
while it will be productive of amusement
it will also furnish food for thought.

10 BRUECKER is young man who
brushes his hair backward so as to get
an intellectual look. 10 is the biggest
man who ever trod American soil and
came with notions similar to those of
Herr Most. He has been burning for
notoriety and became a socialist because

former, kind Of social earthquake.
Bruecker was the most offensive young
fool who ever trod the platform. He
had humanity divided into two equiva-
lent sections, on one side and
the rest of humanity on the other. He
was always an ass with brains, but de-
void of sense, an arrogant conceited inter
meddler. Some years ago the democratic
party gave this socialist some prominence
and he was kind of marplot. Now the
republicans have taken the calf up and
he wants to measure swords with Carl
Schultz. What proclamation! And to
think that some people should encourage
this prodigy of conceit in his attempt to
stand on the same plane with the gentle.
manly and scholarly Schultz.

TIE discoveries made by Greedy dur
ing the two years he spent near Lady
Franklin Bay taking observations are so
meager and of such little scientific value,
that they serve to emphasize the fact
that it is mere waste of life to further
attempt to reach the North Pole. Lock
wood went north to SO degrees 25 min
utes and from that high latitude could
discover no indication of an open Polar
sea. Their longest night lasted 135 of
what measured by hours would be called
days, and during that time the silence
was terribly oppressive. The lowest
temperature was &c degrees below zero,
but in their winter quarters they con-
trived to keep the temperature up to 520
above zero.
The two years We're spent rather pleas
antly, the men remained cheerful and
healthy. The greatest degree Of natural
heat WIS i20 above zero. Some wolves
were found and in couple of cases fish
were caught. 1t was when the retreat
was begun that suffering commenced.

IT would seem that the supporters of
Blaine would evince great delicacy in re-
viewing the war record of Governor
Cleveland. But the memories of the
war are very tenacious and CIeveland's
failure to fight for Uncle Sam must needs
be told against him. II doesn't matter
that Blaine was also man of peace ex-
cept in SO far as war enabled him to get
some good fat contracts. He profited by
the distress of the nation. Still the n.
Y. Tribune reviews the war record of
Cleveland and finds he sent substitute
to the front. Did Blaine do more? Did
he do as much? His zeal came into play
after the danger was passed.

MADISON begins to feel alarmed be-
cause of the number of decaying fish in
the neighborbood. The people have
taken alarm from one other circumstance:
The birds are dying in great numbers,
apparently without cause. 1t is remem-
bered, and it adds to the fear, that the
cholera in France was preceded by like
events. The birds died in great numbers
and the surviving ones quit the country.
There can be no question but the air in
Madison is vitiated by the decayIng fish.
No animal substance is worse when put
rid. But cholera is hardly within reach.

JUSTIN MCCARTHY is again writing a
series of letters for the American press
dealing with the Irish policy of the
ParneIl party. He acknowledges the
impossibility of any government however
well-intenttoned to get much for Ire
land from any parliament of the present.
He also claims that no land act will make
the Irish cease from demanding home
government. With following of 20 in
the next parliament, Parnell will hold
the balance of power and will compel par
lament to consider the demands of the
Irish.
One thing they have learned, as APP
pears from his letters, and that is to quit
talking and to act. In every important
measure the Irish members hold eau.
Gus and their votes are cast solidly as
they then agree. 1t is evident the Irish
party is formidable one, well differed
and under excellent discipline. It will
yet secure home government.

GEORGE GINTY in speaking of the
Cleveland scandal recalls an anecdote of
Matt Carpenter and Judge Ryan. When
the Long Branch scandal in which Matt
was chief actor WAS made public, the
celebrated senator was very mnch cast
down. One day Ryan meeting him
noticed his detected manner and learning
the cause broke out with; damn it,
Caruepter .Raeda.t feel Issap Decreased ed

called upon to defend his reputation for
chastity. He will succeed as no woman
would grant him favors.

A SHORT while ago The Sentinel very
properly took exception to the charge OF
a religious paper that the Board OF
Regents for Normal Schools were all
Protestants and Disseminated against
Catholics. In proof of the sectarian
character of the Board the fact was cited
that not professor belonged to the
church which had no membership ON the
Board. Many who are Catholics sup
posed The Sentinel took a broad view OF
the matter and in its defense of existing
conditions did not appear as an advocate
of the preclusion of members OF any
denomination from state educational ap-
pointments. Bet later developments
prove that The Sentinel was disingenuous
at the time or that it has political illiber-
atty in a very pronounced form, spec
les OF bigotry which may Of itself be not
so offensive but is avowed with less shame
and more frequency.
The Sentinel attacks the state agricul
tural society because a. its president and
secretary are "violent and active demo-
Gratis" and because (2) st. John the pro-
hibition candidate for president is to de-
liver an address before the state fair.
The officers being men of positive con-
victions mnst have political views just as
tue regents being moral men (and many
think morality and religious belief are
identicaD must have religious views.
Would The Sentinel have these men
politically emasculated? Or would it
respectfully suggest, inview of its animal
| versions on kindred intimation when
| religious bias was under discussion, that
a republican should be either president
or secretary of the agricultural society
Would it advocate the selection of
the orator "of the occasion" from
among the men who give no thought
to politics as jurymen are from the army
who do not read? st. John, it is to be
+, presumed knows enough not to mix up
politics with agriculture. Most intelli-
gent people took for granted that the
Protestant professors in normal schools
had too conscientious an appreciation OF
their duty to mix up religion with their
instructions in history. st. John has
been arepublioan and his affiliations with
that party must have taught him pro
priety. His connection with it has moi
been SO long severed that he could wan
der far from the path of rectitude. The
Sentinel will hardly admit a republican
could be guilty of much wrong; by nc
means to the extent Of justifying the on
slaught on the officers who have the
misfortune to be democrats and the baG
taste to ask man ''not for Blaine Il

THERE is no longer any doubt that the
survivors of the Greedy expedition were
reduced to cannibalism in order to sus-
tain life. Those who died of starvation
furnished but little food, but Henry, the
man who was shot for stealing food had
most of his flesh taken off and eaten.
This should occasion no horror except it
be at the dilatoriness of a government
which would allow men to starve and
force them to eat the flesh of comrades
to preserve life. There is responsible
ity somewhere for the terrible neglect
which caused the death of SO many and
reduced men to such fearful means Of
preserving life. The investigation should
be directed to ferriting out these parties
and not to determine by whom or how
| the men were eaten.
A number of the bodies have been ex-
humed and they furnish abundant proof
of having had the flesh taken off. 1t was
the intention of the rescuers and of the
department to keep this matter secret.
But whyl 1t was no reflection on the
starving men. 1t was not matter Of
choice with them. 1t was the most
terrible necessity with which men were
ever confronted. And now when these
men have passed through living deatI
they are to be reprimanded! Those who
allowed them to suffer deserve punish
ment.more severe than reprimand.

The convention of the Irish National
League has been up to the standard of
late meetings of Irishmen. Everything
was conducted in temperate manner
and although there was fervid elequence
it was hept within proper bounds. The
League has done great deal for Irish
men both in educating them and in de-
monstrating their capability for self
government.
At an evening meeting Gov. Robinson
presided and Butler delivered q speech.
Patrick Egan. former treasurer of the
Land League was chosen president.
Mr.. Sullivan declined reelection.

CLEvELAND's letter of acceptance is
out and unlike that of either of the other
candidates, is not in the nature OF a
treatise on politics or a stump speech,
but succinct statement of his views on
leading governmental questions. There
is no attempt made to mislead by
verbiage and the directness of the
thought is enhanced by the simplicity of
the language. The evils which prevent
proper exercise of governmental
functions are pointed out clearly and
remedies suggested. Those matters
which affect the people directly through
tlon;; .astteuaseAaJsaittHya f.aaEqSnr,aetsle
shows that the democratic nominee is no
novice in the art of craftsmanship.
His comments on the labor question
are of interest, in view of the attempt to
place that element in an attitude of hos
tility to Mr.. Cleveland. Capital has
united for protection but any union of
laborers for a similar purpose is de-
nounced as socialistic. A union of cap
italists is an organization; of laborers, a
mob. In speaking On this question Mr..
Cleveland says, and the words are the
issue of clarified good sense: 1.-THE
laborers should be protected in their
efforts peaceably to assert their rights
when endangered by aggregated capital;
and all statutes on this subject should
recognize the care of the state for honest
toll and be framed with view of i'm
proving the condition of the working
man. The letter is unpretentious, direct
in its language and firm in its tone.

JOHNNY DAVENPORT has at last come
out with the true inwardness of the
Morey letter. He has written book on
tho subject and traces the forgery to
democratic headquarters. This de-
nouement could readily have been in
ferred without the necessity of writing
book. Now that johnny" has complet-
ed this work and at such an opportune
time, let him turn his attention to the
Blaine scandals. The people are more in
terested in knowing whether he is honest
enough to be president than in knowing
who the obscure author Of forged letter
is. Do, Johnny. Turn to Blaine's
record.

The Springfield Republican acknow

The Springfield Republican acknowl-
edges that Buffers candidacy destroys
all hope of carrying Massachusetts for
Cleveland. The republican admirers of
Butler clearly see that vote given to
him from them is one lost to Blaine, and
;aey stand by their party. The demo
Gratis are not so partisan and his
strength will come maiuly from that
party. Buffers conclusion to ruiz may
not have its origin in friendship for
Blaine. It's doubtless hostility to Cleve-
land but all the advantage vii, enure to
the republican nominee. The n. Y. San
will support Butler. This is an indirect
way of supporting Blaine.
