away with its fairness when 1t reaches
the conclusion that the abuses OF carica
lures have been more conspicuous in the
present campaign than in any of its pre-
decessors. The cartoons OF the present
day present the extreme of refinement
compared with their manifestations In
1872 and 1876. The caricaturists have
now something to work on. a career
made picturesque by long course in
political jobbery with fuller belief in
the truth of this judgment gives Mast,
Gillian, Keppler and their brother
artists just the opportunity their art de.
manded. This is why Blaine gives them
an opportunity never presented before
and why they improve II to the utmost.
His varied career strikes them as 1t does
the public. But Mr.. Cleveland's clear
public record has few possibilities for the
distortion and exaggeration inseparablt
from political excoriation. His associa
tions have been reputable, and ever!
position has simply revealed the recorC
# duty well done. The pictorial paper
have a BONANZA in Blaine, and they ma.
be expected to work it to the last.

The New York Tribune has reached
the conclusion that the American school
of caricature has not adhered scrupu
lously to the truth, and that it has been
careless and sometimes ridiculous in its
facts That is no doubt true, as may
easily be recalled by several notable cam
paigns. The Greeley episode was the most
striking Instance Of this. But even then
caricaturists only followed the popular
bent, Never was the political press more
yirulent than In the year 1872. Never
were political speakers more reckless in
the use of facts, nor the people more
willing or anxious for descent to the
lowest order of warfare. The illustrated
par p oa'y contributed to this feeling,
They did their part. Then, too, it must
be remembered that Greeley's figure and
career presented peculiarly striking con
trasts, and that these are the stock in
trade OF the caricarurist who natural,
accepted them at their full value in hii
profession.
But the Tribune lets its preiudices run

A word 10 CITY Councils.

The councils wrestled last evening with
the question Of eXhausting the con-
tingent fund for the building of sewers
and for water works improvements.
They left the matter unsettled. 1t is one
which they should maturely consider.
However desirable improvements may be
they should not be made until they can
be properly paid for. The coat should be
cut according to the cloth. The COT
tingent fund should not be exhausted at
The beginning of the year. Next years
revenues should not be taken to pay this
years expenditures. When the council;
have money let them eXpcnd 1t judi
clousIy. When they have no money lei
them expend none. The same rule!
govern public expenditures that conurc
individual outlays Il is a pity If Ian
caster has not the means to pay for suCl
street and water work improvements
| as she needs, but until some proper Wa,
of supplying the means are secured tE'
improvements should not be made.
1t is a question whether the seweraG
of the town should De taken in tn
creek above the water works. We thinl
it should not. Before the system OF sewer
age needed for the east end is determined
there should be an examination made b
engineers, and the plan for future drain
age should be carefully prepared. Posi-
bly, removal of the water works station
will be ultimately necessary.

POET WHITTIER has written some good
verse, although his more recent effusions
show the marked advance Of old age.
Perhaps the man is not wholly responsible
for the narrow groove in which his mind
always ran, as his early associations and
Puritanio rearing are largely responsible
for the absence of broad lioerality in his
views of men and things. 1t is, therefore,
not surprising to hear from him an in
tensely partisan declaration for tho Re
publican ticket. If Beolzebub headed
that party, the Whittier type of partisan
might be confidently counted upon to sup.
port him.
