PRESIDENT DEvEREUX's paper before the inter
state commerce committee at ST. Louis pointing out
the wild license OF capital in railway construction and
railway monopozation, the effect of which back
and rests with crushing weight labor did the same
thing Both showed that the need of the time is legis
laton to assist in the development of better system
of distribution of the products of labor using the
word distribution in broad sense That is manifest
y the only effectual for the ills Of industry.

IN opinion the President has been grossly i'm
posed upon If it is his purpose to reorganize the
customs service in this city and to put it upon
formed basis, cannot conceive how person Of Mr.
Heddens cabre, antecedents, and alliances can
materially assist him in the execution of that purpose
1t is to be feared rather that the President will have
occasion before the fall campaign is put
straining hand upon the political zeal of some Of the
customs servants in this city and to cudge away from
the public trough under the respectable Mr.. Heddens
very eyes, some unworthy and most offensive part
sans.--New York Times.
BEFORE the all the people of the South wanted
was ito be left alone in the control of government
their power enrooted in human slavery. All they
want is to loft alone in the enjoyment Of political
power which they have obtained by violence and fraud
The people of Ohio will be ready in the future they
have always been in the past TO meet this great ques
ton. The people of the great North ready to
meet it, and it will be settled the side and in the in
terest of freedom and progress. This kind of ancient
literature is destined to become highly popular
With the American people. 1t will not be sneered
down.-Cleveland Leader
The rich sinners gather in temples of their own and
humber sanctuares. Such separation so plainly
outrages the precepts principles and whole genius of
Christianity that the poor laugh in scorn. Even in
the temples erected for the worship of the Carpenter
OF Gailee, distinctions of condition kept up and
spirit of social excusiyeness prevails. The brother
hood of man is preached from the pulpit but those
who listen dream of carrying it out in practice
in the church in their daily life. Preach and live
actual and genuine Christianity and you will see re-
viva Of faith such as the world has known be-
fore!- New York Sun.
THE Democratic party broke up the Nation because
it had to give up the offices; it is rending itself in
a struggle over the possession of the Offices and it
would turn and rend it's President because he has not
enough to go round. Mr. Cleveland finds that he is
the bes5hated man in the country, and that the hate
is all from his own party. Probably he anticipated
sharp criticism and opposition from the Republicans.
but surely he could not have anticipated such crit.

and such silence, which condemnation, from
his own party and that from Republicans alone has

justice.-Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
The interest of the American people in their public
affairs is apt to be too spasmodic At times it is very
intense and at other times faint and dim But it is
also true that those who have attempted permanent
Republican organizations have sometimes pursued

to dictate, whereas sthey only entitled to the

therefore to pass that Republican organizations
have been looked upon by the voters with disfayor
which they do not deserve.-New York Tribune.
IL Salisbury car see that ireland has suffered indig

Cabinet wise enough to throw party traditions to
the wind to sweep the cobwebs of English prejudice
against Ireland from the sky and to take their stand
on home rule for that country, which has ample rea.
son to complain of its treatment it will not simply
enlist the sympathy of Irshmen, but of Englishmen
also. Now is the opportunity to contradict long
past of wrong and agony, and to lift the banner Of
justice. England does not know what Ireland can
make of herself IL she has the chance to try To let
her have that chance is to turn over page Of
modern history. IL she fails she will have herself to
blame and il she succeeds England viii have won for
