Rotten. Egging Workln4men.

The summary discharge of Hon, David Hea-
ly from his position as Chief Clerk of the Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics at Albany, N, Y, be-
cause he presided alta Butler meeting of work
ingmen has aroused the greatest indignation
all over that State. 1t now appears that Gov.
Cleveland and Lieut. Gov: Hill were both an
gered at Healy's action, and that the Commits
sioner of the bureau was ordered to dismiss him.
Even some Of the Democratic papers in Alba
ny are protesting against it The Evening
Times of that city says: 80 q" ~

Healy in this way To; throw rotten eggs at

schools ranged from 1921 so in Massa-
chusetts to $3 53 in Tennessee.

The New York Sun closes a peppery article
by defining its position in these words: "But-
Ter first, Blaine next, Cleveland never" Astaff
correspondent of the Sum- writing from Penn
sylvania, says that state will probably give
Blaine 1O0, eco majority. -
1t will only take gain Of less than forty re-
publican members of the house of representa-
tives to change the present democratic major
ity into minority. Ohio has already furnished
five Of these. If other states do their duty
equally well there is no doubt as to the result
Senator Miller of California writes to . friend
in Washington city: @The campaign is going
On well in the state, and Blaine will carry it by
handsome majority. The chances are now
that Hanley, Democratic candidate for con-
gross in the First district, will be beaten His
vote ON the Morrison bill, his land nlanipula-

Sir Edmund Currie, 4 noted London
physician has sought to improve the
occasion of the panic at possible visi-
tation Of cholera by pointing out that
If that plague should come to London
with say $4,000 cases and 10 per cent.
Of them fatal, the universal terror would
be appalling. Yet he officially declares
that there are now il London annually
$4,000 csses of scarlet fever, with
moro than $500 deaths. This annual
scourge, which, is in some respects
worse than cholera, is perfectly within
control Of sanitary science aud could be
stamped out if science would properly
apply its knowledge of the disease. But
as scarlet fever arises from an unclean-
ly condition. which also invites a
scourge OF cholera, it seems likely that
the latter plague Will have it's own way
when it reaches London and will be
abundantly able to beat the record Of
the scarlet fever.

The paper manufactures are quick to
seize the excuse of the embargo on the
Importation of foreign rags to increase
the price of their wares, The makers
of writing paper have already agreed to
3 cents pound more, and the manufac-
turers OF other grades are likely to fol-
low suit. One effect of the embargo on
foreign rags will be to stimulate the
collection of native rags. Prices have
ruled so low of late years chat many a
housewife in the country who used to
stow away the accommodating rags against
the call of the roaming tic peddler has
taken to burning such rubbish. There
is no good reason why the cost of max
ing paper should be largely increased
by the shutting out of foreign rags, but
that is by no means the same thing as
saying that prices will not be marked
up,

It is possible the Cleveland faction of the
democracy in Buffalo made serious mistake
in bowling down Mr.. Grady the other evening
Besides the discourtesy of such conduct, and
it was discourtesy stretched to the bound Of
Of violent rudeness, there ia involved a consid-
GRAFTON of principles and policy which touch
the democracy itself. Mr.. Grady is man who
has the courage of his convictions clear
" and impressively understood For
reasons sufficient Unto himself he stood
fesolutely by the prejudices expressed in
National convention and refused to adj
fQcate the interests IT. the nominee 3f that
convention He has too much animel vitality
and too positive an energy Of thought to be an
with refusing to accept Cleveland but set ear
nestly about showing the public that he thor
oughly and heartily repudiated him as lead
or.
At the same time he said or did nothing to
indicate that he was any less ardently devoted
party than he had ever been, and it is fact
that he has always affiliated with the extrenl-
lists of Democracy Mr.. Grady Simply declared
he did not believe Grover Cleveland to be fit for
the Office Of President Of the United States;
an apinion great many democrats entertain
who have not the personal independence and
fearless honesty of the young Ajax of New
York democracy. Finding another democratic
candidate in the field, one whom he thought,
as choice between two evils perhaps, prefer
able to the regular nominee. he turned his in
duence and oratoric powers in that direction,
and took the stump for Butler.
The Massachusetts, demagogue is thor
ough-going, dyed-in-the-wood democrat, as
everybody truly knows, and i'll the esti-
nation of most intelligent people was
very much more deserving of nomination
at the voice Of his party than the chance Gov
grnor Of New York. As q Democrat, Mr..
Grady was justified in Supporting him This
being tho case; it was very hncivil in Demo
Gratis with other and not honester views to shut
him off from pleading his cause, denying him
hearing, and treating his convictions with
eHptempt
think entirely as does Mr.. Grady; but Who
have not, because of party allegiance, taken
position with him against the Cleveland ticket
Nevertheless they arc not so welded to the
interests of tho Sheriff Governor that they are
willing for his sake to have stanch, sincere and
capable, though dissident, Democrat insulted
and shut off from that highest of American priv
ileges, freedom ofspeech. AS Mr. Grady has q
large and admiring following in his own State,
and many friends throughout the country who
lean kindly toward him, the Buffalo faction
hazarded much in cendemning him, and the I'M
seemly proceeding will not be less CALLING be-
cattse it occurred in the very home of the not
overpopular Cleveland. The Democracy is get
ting pretty well tangled up in the rope iberallt
paid out to by varied circumstances, and is
committing great many hot-headed mistakes
in consequence.
