Cincinnati Enquirer: The election is
past and the holiday season Is over, and
business looks lively. Neither the cleo
ton nor the holidays have probably had
much effect ON business either way, but
il appears to be the recognized caper to
take them into consideration.
Philadelphia Times: While it is no
doubt a pretty serious thing to be an
Iowa Democrat, with no chance for either
Federal or local offices for more than
thirty years, it does seem somewhat all-
dacious for the party in that State to rut
forward claim for Cabinet position.
New York SIM: The abolition of free
passes should be made universal. Apart
from the fact that the expense of carrying
the favored persons is saddled on those
who pay their way, is it not monstrous
that legislators who make laws to gov.
ern railroads and judges who interpret
these laws and try suits under them
should accept the bribe of tickets fol
gratuitous railroad travel?
