HALLoo, here! Hoity toity ! What kind
of talk is this Joe Pulitzer, editor of the
New York World, sends to his paper from
the Chicago Convention. Just listen to this:
Carlisle, Morrison, Hurd, watterson and all
the free-trade cranks OF the country are on
the ground working for their pet hobby.
"CIanks," are they? One of them your
party made the chief officer of the popular
branch of Congress. "CranlSs," did you
say? Another one of them your party put
at the head of the leading committee of the
same House of Congress. "CranksP" An
other one is the editor of one of the most
influential Democratic journals in the
Union. "Cranks," Joe? Why, the fourth
one was one of the very wheelhorsiest of
the Democratic wheelhorses of Congress.
"CTanks?"
great many people, judging by the
kind of legislation turned out by your DEM

know best what kind of leaders you are fol-

bill giving them fifteen days leave per
annum, with pay, but only appropriated
half money enough for the purpose of pay
ing the substitutes who might do the work
while the boys were away, SO that the leave
has been scaled down to seven days per
each carrier. If this is not keeping the
promise to the ear, but breaking it to the

ever-they are sure of seven days rest, and
a step has been taken on the road to thirty
days leave-which will come in the near
