Democratic newspaper puts 1t as
follows: "The Democrats didn't
vote for Cleveland on account of
his civil-service notions, but be-
cause he was the candidate of the
Chicago Convention" The Demo
Gratis expect the President to turn
the Republicans out of office, and to
appoint Democrats Is their success
ors. Before Congress shall have
been in session a month it will be
determined whether the Cleveland
policy or the Democratic policy in
regard to the appointments is to
triu mph.
A DEMOCRATIC paper says that
government clerks in Washington
are taking advantage Of the presi-
dents absence to ask for vacations"
It is time these clerks were given to
understand that this is a reform adj
ministration and that the vacation
business, with salaries continued, is
played out. AS soon as the presi
dent gets back from his months va
cation with pay and the heads of
departments get back from their va
cations with pay a circular should
be issued calling attention to the
fact that only me and your dad are
corporals, and that subordinate hire
lings can't 60 cat-fshing with worms,
even, while the exalted place-hold-
ers are casting the brilliant fly for
trout in the Adirondacks or in
Northern Wisconsin. This is a
shoulder-strap administration
TIE recent speech of Mr.. Parnell
declaring that Ireland must nave a
parliament of its own is causing
CONSERVATION among the English
Tories. Parnell is likely to hold
the balance of power between parties
in the next house of commons, and
his cooperation is Indispensable, IN
less, in the presence of the issue he
the Tories aud Wings unite.
1t seems TO Americans a perfectly
just and reasonable proposition that
Ireland should be allowed to legis-
late for itself on all questions per
tanning exclusively to Irish interests,
and that view will probably come to
prevail in England in the ours of
time. During the past fifty years
the English have adopted several
measures borrowed from the politi-
cal practice of this country. For a
long time they protested against the
secret ballot, but they now have it,
and they have nearly reached uni
versal manhood suffrage.
THE Baseball CHAMpIoNsmP.-
The present standing of the New
York and Chicago ball clubs is such
that if each nine wins all Of the
games it has to play with other
clubs, the championship will be set
tied by the four games which the
two rivals have to play on the Chi
cago grounds. Should New York
win all games except those with Chi
cago, her total wins will be eighty
nine, and should Chicago win all
except the games with New York
her total wins will be ninety-one.
Then should New York win three
out Of the four with Chicago, the
two clubs will finish a tie. OF course
both clubs are likely to drop games
to other mines, but these figures show
how wonderfully close is the race
for the pennant. The four Chicago
New York games are likely to settle
the championship.
TIE New POSTAL CARDs.-The
new democratic postal cards will
soon be on sale at the Mineral Point
Office. The cards are the same size
which the republican administration
promulgated, but differ from them
in some respects. The color Of the
democratic cards is lighter than the
old style, almost approaching cream
color. On the address side is a scroll
