Now is the time for old party lines to be reformed. The Democracy of this county has set initiatory steps and rat flied. They showcd one thing-a nu- cleus for an organization and will to enter the campaign with spirit. The Republican party Is not desirous of wearing itself out in this hot climate by entbusing too early, and hence have not made a start. and we do not know but it is wise not to exhaust ones strength at the beginning, but at the same time We telieve that the reorganization of the Republican club in this city would be not only a wise movement, but be pleas urable to the members. In reforming parry lines preparing for great national battles all personal differences between members should be buried out of sight -a genuine reunion, and every member admitted upon certificate of good fellowship. Let there be unity of ac- ton and thought in one dITectiOn-to win the battle.

THE CINCINNATI ENQUIRER.

A striking instance of Republican injus-
tice is seen by an omission by its press from
its printed list of dailies supporting Blaine.
True, it is not ordinarily the providence of
a Democratic Journal to furnish helpful
suggestions to the opposition, but the Senti-
mel will be magnanimous enough to say that
if the Republicans are not more polite they
may offend ore of their most Jealous allies
Credit should ever be given to wherever il is
due, but this principle is not observed when
the Blaineites parade the Tribunes Of New
York and Chicago, the indianapolis Journal
and Times, the st. Louis Globe-Democrat,
the Buffalo Telegraph and the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette, and do not parade the
Cincinnati Enquirer. 1t is base ingratitude
on the part of the Republican press to thus
fail to honor a crew which is fighting more
acknowledgement if under false colors-than
the most ostentatious of its own Robson
ships. A sense of justice compels an earnest
recommendation of the Enquirer to the
supporters of James G. Blaine. Those who
fail to read it miss some of the most trucu-
lent Blaine campaign literature. Indeed,
the Blaine campaign, so far, without the
Cincinnati Enquirer, would be something
like the play of Hamlet with
the character Of Hamlet left out.
is columns are delicious morssls
against the Democratic candidats which
confessed Republican papers stop their
presses TO copy.
The piratical Enquirer should, and shall,
have the pronounced recognition il deserves
at the hands of the Republican press, or the
Sentinel will parade that press for its ingrati-
tude. With "Gsth" in New York when not
writing to the Tribune) telegraphing every
virtue be can manufacture for Blaine, aud
every scandal he can nose out against
Cleveland, and with "Jayhawker' in Indian
spolis, to when lot engaged in editorial
work for a Republican illustrated weekly
pry into the secrets OF Democratic campaign
committees and report them to Republican
committees, and send a version of them
favorable to the Republican cause for the
Enquirer columns, with only Republican
correspondents to furnish its news, we say
that, with ali these engines at WORK in
Blaine's behalf, the Cincinnati Enquirer
should have a prominent place on the Re-
publican list of Blaine organs.
But we also say that the Enquirer, so far
as it pretends to be Democratic, or to sup
port the National Democratic ticket, is a
fraud and libel, and any Democrat lending
it bis patronage is making mistake.

monopolies, which, in turn. look upon and
treat the energies of workingmen as COM
modities without any reference to the supply
of the necessaries of life in their larders or
to their rights as wage.workers.
The wage-class is found in that condition
very often in this country, and so long as
combinations of capital can keep the present
high tariff law upon the statute books, over
production and the consequent reduction in
working days will occur at short intervals
without corresponding. in fact, without
any reduction whatever in the cost of bread
and meat during the days in which the
market is closed against the energies
of the wage worker. 1t is claimed
that high tariff laws open up
opportunities for the employment of skilled
and unskilled labor which, without them,
could not be secured, but the evidence ad-
duced by nearly quarter of q century's ex-
perience proves that the reverse of that
proposition is true. There are living evil
dences on every hand that high tariff law
is a cunningly devised machine for making
the few very rich at the expense of the best
interests of the many, who grow poorer
day by day, while the monopolists grow
richer day by day.
The fact is, the civil war forced the estab-
lishment of manufactures contrary to the
spirit of our system of government, but the
distractions in the way of securing supplies
from Europe made it justiiable, as many
other war measures were justified by the de-
mauds of the OCCASION but when the war
closed, war measures and extraordinary
privileges for the few should have given place
to the demands of legitimate business enter
prises which ere free trade, that the United
States might compete with the world for the
mastery in the great battle OF trade and

The Journal says of Robert Jefferson, the
colored man who recently died in this city,
that "there is very little doubt as to his De;
ing the son of Thomas Jefferson" At the
time the Journals account of Mr.. jefferson
appeared, some five or six years ago, the
Saturday Herald, OF this city, published a
careful examination of the evidence dis
closed in that account and showed that there
was no reason to believe in the alleged pa
ternity. The conclusion was almost irlesist-
IDLY against it. Without conclusive evil
dence it is a shame to contribute to the most
honored names in our history the vices that
would disgrace the Nation in
their degradation. Some dozen years ago, a
correspondent here of Cincinnati paper,
in an account of the portraits of the Terri
torial and State Governors in the Governor 5
room CT the old State-house, alluded to that
of Governor PoseY, the last of the Territorial
Governors, with an expansion of silly story
of his being the illegitimate son of General
Washington and beautiful young widow
who was living near Mount Vernon when
the General was a young man. AS the
"father of his country" was claimed by
history and tradition to be the
father of nothing else, this story
attracted some attention. At the
request of the editor of the Cincinnati Com.
nercial Mr.. b. R. Sulgrove. of this city, ex-
amined into the matter, and by correspond
ence with the surviving relatives of Governor
Posey he found that facts so completely ex-
ploded the invention that there was not
enough left for the use even of dime
novelist. 1t is well enough to know the
truth about great men, even if it be an I'M
pleasant truth, but there is no good and no
sense in giving currency to rumor or tradi-
ton, even if not improbable, that spots the
fair fame OF those whose good name is the
honor of the Natien.

LABOR A COMMODITY.

The possible energies of the wsge-earner
is to him what the products of the soil are to
the farmer, and unless the demand is fully
up to the supply surplus is created which
at once becomes valueless. True, the farmer
may garner his over production, and at some
future DAY realize something for it, but
never except at loss. unless some violent
and monumental factor in trade should
create a fictitious demand at a fictitious
value, and then his advantage would be at
the consumers expense; but the wage.
worker cannot so store his energies
and hold them for prospective de-
mand. His store-house is always full and
every day that fails to furnish him with a

solute and complete loss without a remedy

is forced upon him every time his energies

ness until the surplus is consumed before his
energies will again be required. In the
meantime, be it remembered, the purchasing
power of the workingmans wages remain
the same. The cost Of living does not
fuctuate with the opportunities for employ
ment. He lives. or rather exists, under a
cold, severe and selfish condition that is the
legitimate outgrowth of a Misrepresentation

basis encourages the establishment Of

The Boston Herald we'll recalls that it was
away back in 1S56-more than quarter of
century ago-that the Republican party,
then only two years cid, and for the first
time in National Convention assembled, re-
solved that it was both the right and duty of
Congress to prohibit in the Territories "those
twin relics of barbarism-polygsmy and
slavery" And after the war had extirpa-
ted one twin, they resolved that Congress
must prohibit and extirpate the other. This
was in 1877. In 1880. this declaration was re
affirmed, but pOlygamy has not been extir-
pated yet, although the party has been in
power twenty-three years, and points with
pride to its record Of promises fulfilled. Is
there any reason to believe it will do any
better In the future?

Nh. CALKINs, we understand. in explain

conundrum is: What art did the Republican

some stock reserved for Mr.. Calkins.
