The American Policy.

In connection with much othur d;s.
course upon the distinguishing traits
and qualifications of the Republican
candidate, we hear much about his
American policy. This is phrase that
Is likely 10 confuse some. Interpreted
by the light of certain facts i'm our
political history it would mean a policy
by which those born i'm other countries
should be virtually prescribed, that is,
not admitted TO equal participation i'm
public affairs under any circumstances.
Ii might even be construed TO 90 be-
Nond that and extend the prescription
to men ON account OF their religion. as
IN the case of the Madigan circular
which, we believe, had MIR Blainc's un-
qualified approval. But when we sec
the cordial reception that the idea of
this American policy gets i'm certain
quarters, we are puzzled to reconcile il
with the American policy of quarter
ot century or more AGO. When in a
dynamiter's Congress James G.. Blaine
is taken up and approved because he
Will lnaugurate an American policy, we
are safe in concluding that a radical
ly different idea has displaced the ono
that used To wear this name and title
We get little light by hearing Others
say that Mr.. Blaine would give us an
aggressive policy, vigorous policy.
There Is certain kind of np0ressiya
policy that we would like to see insti.

aggression against the rings and cor.

at least, more likely To get that whole
some and benefcent aggres non from
Grover Cleveland than from James G..
Blaine. 1t should not be the policy of
the American people to stir up strife
with foreign powers, and we know very
well that at the present time il is not.
Anything of that sort would be more
distnctively European than an
American policy. 1t has been "A
well-known device of rulers in the
Old World, when they found their
subjects growing discontcnled under

their grievances. We are unable TO see
much difference between this policy and
mat TO. which it is proclaimed Mr.
Blaine will give his early attention if
elected President. In other words he
IS going TO stir things up, not by show

The Republican leaders and journals
make the most out the assumed fact
that the bulwark of Democratic strength
IS in the Southern States Tho i'm

old free States, the ''loyal States d"
during the war, are soidly Repub lean.
This presentation OF the political status
OF the Union is specious, as viewed from
sectional standpoint When ana
lyled the assumption is shown TO be
without any real foundation. If tho
States which furnished the bulk of the
Federal army in the civil war be taken.
it will be found that i'm the most 10.

Alarm Among the EmperOrs.

All accounts agree that the Gar OF
Russia and the Emperor of Austria are
in constant state of bodily fear of as
sassination. The killing OF the head OF
the spy system in Russia, by the Nihi-
lists, has made the Gar half crazy. He
does not know whom to trust. Some
thing must be done to give the Russian
people the rights of free speech and
the press. In Austria the working peo-
pie have revolted against the police,
and have killed several of the most OBJ
noxious officers. The workmen claim
that the police Will not allow them to
meet or state their grievanc s. and in
vent imaginary crimes to have innocent
men punished. How much wiser we
are in this country in allowing the ut
most freedom of speech and of the
press! The very people who have
pros ell dangerous in Europe do no harm
in this country. Herr John Most was
considered SO incendiary a person in
england that his paper, the Freihut,
was seized and he was imprisoned. This
same anarchist has been in the United
States for over a year, making infiam-
matOry speeches and calling on the
working people to xii! the capitalists,
but no one heeds him. When the red
eral Republic of Europe is established
we viii hear no more Of Nihilists or in
cendiary Socialists The poor of Eu-
rope are not treated Justly by the
