In the eyes of the President the Governor
elect of New York is rapidly growing from a
Hill to Democratic mountain, and if the
former ever gets the nomination for 1888, it
must be after he has scaled this rapidly in
creasing height In 1882, when Mr. Cleve-
land received his phenomenal majority of
1872, S54, Mr.. Hill received 1876, 7SI, or nearly
1000 more than the head of the ticket, freak
that admits of but one explanation-he was
the more popular of the two. But it did not
stop there. In 1884, with the immense
prestige of the election of two years previous
Cleveland received a plurality of but ,O47 in
that State. Governor Hill follows this now
with a plurality of about II, 900, or 9,953 over
that of Cleveland. The increase of Hills adj
vantage over the President is 6,026 in the
three years since 1882. Already he is for
midable rival for the next nomination. and
Democratic papers, offended by the Pres;-
dents un-Democratic hardness in handing
around the spoils, have taken up his cause
and ring the changes on Hendricks and Hill
Mr.. Hendricks, however, WILL as usual, con-
sent to take second place.

THE Boston Herald few days ago ad-
dressed several Southern Governors, inquir-
ing as to the freedom of speech in the South
asking specifically whether Northern political
speakers would be acceptable in the South
Governor Knott, of Kentucky, replies at
length. His answer as to political speakers is
frank. and probably represents the general
Southern feeling upon this question. He
says: "Any speaker demeaning himself
respectfully would have kind reception and
patient hearing unless he should attempt to
excite social prejudice or sectional strife by
opening the buried issues of the war;" Just
so. 1t is all right for Gen. Fitzhugh Lee to
ride on his unce's saddle and appeal to social
prejudices, and open buried issues, but for a
Northern Republican to ask for fair vote
and honest count would not be respectable"
even in Kentucky. 'Such would be treated
with silent contempt"

ence of the news columns In the latest issue
with which the mails have favored us the
supremely intellectual department, in treating
Of the Sterling case, refers to the Presidents
interview on the same subject as having no
meaning in it to comfort the spoilsmen, "even
if it be authentic" The Washington special
of the same issue casually mentions the fact
that the interview" in question was prepared
by the Presidents own hand, and was set up
by the printers from the original manuscript.
This, to the ordinary mind, is sufficient proof
of accuracy and authenticity, but the indie
pendent journalist evidently demands some
thing more in order to be convinced. Perhaps
the reappointment of Sterling will be the de-
cisive argument for the Post.

Mr.. Cleveland has but little more than
three years to serve, and that then there will
be change that will mean something. The
President has been fundamentals too long.
1t is too late to turn back, and if he does he

SURPRISE is manifested in certain quarters
over the fact that the president of the Tacoma
Young Mems Christian Association was among
the number engaged in the persecution of the
Chinese. The critics do not seem to under
stand that this jealous and active gentleman
merely wished to show the heather what
they missed by not becoming civilized Chris
tians. In this case they missed their homes
and their property, and the object lesson
must have been quite impressive.
