AT this distance the monotony of quarrelsomeness
III England IS becoming little wearisome. What rs
scrlbes itself, Il Fave the honor to be- but that
harshness which has for its policy the honor Of Great
Britain, and which will do and dare everything for
the sake of that honor Englishmen would follow a
real leader to the ends of the earth cost what it
might. But where is he to be found?-New York

In few years it is hoped that the insular peo-
pie of England will advance sufficiently be not sur

fact that this country grows breed of men who do
not expectorate tobaccouice the carpets of draw

flag pinned to the broader portions of their trousers
and who in thought manners dignity, oratory are in
no sense inferior to the best human products of
the socaled mother country. Chicago Times
FEW times in history it has been necessary to
resort to spies and tricks to gain information but in
each it was during war and the ordinary meth
DDS of peace could not be made available. But it
mains for a Democratic administration in times of
to set spies and sneaks work to blacken pri
vate reputation, and to encourage them by allowing
private hearing to their complaints, without inform
ing the accused of charges of time and place of
tigaton policy of this kind may be statesmanlie,

WHETHER the lines of politics in 1888 shall be

State in which the coored voters would be allowed to
exercise the right of franchise fully and honestly if
such right would defeat the purposes of the old rebel
element. Every dy knows this to be the case The

short of a dornick, wellamed, would knock a Repub-

Democrats, who alone be held responsible for the
administration of the Attorney-generals Office
Verify, Mr.. Garland is Democrat of Democrats--St

method The one maxim is twin to the other 1t is
time even for mugwumps to drop the claim that the
Cleveland administration is anything else than rigor-

devoted to the spoils. Even the campaign phrases
