Rev. R. v. HUNTER, of the Seventh Pres
byterian Church, denounces the non-observ-
ance of the Sabbath day in round and righteous
terms He Classics the saloons, the baseball
association, and the Acton Camp-meeting as
ISOLATION as the chief offenders. In ar
raigning the latter as violator of the law
and desecrater of Sunday, Mr. Hunter
exempts from his criticism those Methodist
preachers and churches that have spoken out
plainly and strongly against the present at6-
tude of the association.

Some little self-respect seems to attach to
George William Curtis even yet. He apol-
ogizes for his support Of Cleveland by saying
that he does not want to be understood as in
tending to become Democrat, with all that
such an act would imply; far from it You
are right in protesting, Mr.. Curtis; but after
you founder around in the mire awhile you
will have such.a genuine contempt for your
self that you viii be ashamed to ask to be
taken back into the Republican party Your
conscience will have the moral dyspepsia so
bad that you will be unfit to be received back.

HERE is about the way Democrats answer
all charges against Cleveland:
He vetoed the mechanics lien act
Answer-Yes; but he signed the tenement
house cigar BILL
He vetoed the bill cutting down the hours
of labor from sixteen to twelve.
Answer-He signed the tenement house ciA
gar bill
He vetoed the bill cutting down the elevat-
ed railway fare five cents.
Answer-But he signed the tenement house
cigar bill
He vetoed the child labor bill
Answer Didn't he sign the tenement house
cigar billf
He vetoed the religious worship bill.
Answer That's all right he signed the
tenement house cigar bill
He has, in every instance, stood by the
great monopoles and against the laboring
classes.
And to all these charges and many more,
the parrot-like answer is returned that he
signed the tenement-h house cigar bill, there
being no great monopoly's interests at stake
in that instance The Courier-J Journal ofigi-
mated this new way of disposing Of vexations
questions. 1t is very effective.

In 1876, eleven years after the close of the
war, George William Curtis very properly
made the following declaration concerning
Thomas A. Hendricks
During the war he was copperhead. y y
Is there any good reason why he should be
selected from forty millions of people to be
the possible head Of government which he
did his best to destroyY
Will Mr.. Curtis be kind enough to tell in
what way Mr. Hendricks has regained his
standing as a man fit to be awarded the sec
ond place in the nationY And will he further
explain how it is that the party that only six
weeks ago was "a conspiracy for spoils and
plumber is now worthy of the support Of hon
est menf Mr.. Curtis will increase his infu-
ence if he will elucidate little on these
points

BUSINESS will be benefited, and confidence in
business methods will be strengthened when
some heightened rascal, who steals under the
guise of banking, is landed in the penitentiary
1t is a shame to law and public honesty that,
with all the long list Of wrecked financial in
stitutions, broken faith, entertainments and
theft so few, if any, Of the criminals have ever
been brought to account. It does not read
well to swindled creditor that man like
John G. Emo has rented magnifcently
furnished house in Quebec, and is living in
princely luxury. For honest failures the
public should have and has, only kindly
sympathy; for dishonest ones it should have
only stern reprobation, and the law and courts
should have adequate penalties and punish
ments.

IF Republicans longer doubt that Irish
voters are leaving the Democratic party to
support Blaine and Logan, they will soon be
convinced. Democratic organs are fairly
bowling, and the abuse of the Irish has begun.
Puck, of last week, cartoons the Irish voters
as 'for sale" An Irishman is represented on
an auction block, vote in hand, while the
cryer is offering him for sale to the highest
bidder. Insults and abuse viii not stop this
detection. The Irish have at last made a
break, and they are going.

That is just what the Democratic party has

THE New York Sun thinks it would be ''de-
plorable" for the Republican party to force the
Democratic party into the attitude Of defend
ing the idea of "a tariff for public purposes
exclusively or ffor revenue only" as it was
formerly worded. That is exactly what is go
ing to be done, and Mr.. Watterson, Mr., Car
Isle, Mr.. Morrison, Mr.. Hurd, and few other
well-known Democrats of like mind, are doing
all they can to help the thing along. For this
reason the Sun is very unhappy, and is free to
declare that
Moreover, while the Democratic party
would be beaten on the issue Of the tariff, as it
was in 1880, it would be beaten, not upon
square contest plainly presented, but upon
mere differences and constructions of phrase
ology. If Colonel Morrison had been allowed
to have his way, and had presented a respect
able and undisguised free trade platform, the
party would have been beaten upon it all the
same, but that question would have been set
led and then the country could have turned
to other and more necessary things. But de-
feat upon a disputed and inferential platform
has just the same mischief as defeat upon
Colonel Morrison's, without any Of the bene-
fits"
1t doesn't seem to have occurred to the Sun,
or to any other Democratic journal, that its
party richly deserves defeat for the reason
that it has not been honest enough to present
platform that may be understood alike by all
men.
