A Kingston family moved from their
house month ago, and recently the little
girl of the family and her mother went to
call on the lady who occupied the house
they had vacated. While there the child
saw a very small baby that had arrived but
a few days before. She looked at it care
fully, and then said; Mamma, We moved
too soon; we'd have got that baby If we had
staid here. "-hingStOn Freeman.

High-Minded" Criticism.

The Republicans, finding no legiti-
mate cause for tho criticism of Presi-
dent Cleveland, arc driven to straits
which create almost as much amuse-
ment as they do disgust Here are
samples from the Commercial:
1.-The President thinks he is before the
country in the act of heroic adventure when
he sits in a wagon or boat and is pulled OF
hauled thirty or forty miles dag through
country roads or on alleged lakes"
1.-THE President is having his ponderous
person hauled over mountain roads and
through mountain lakes. in the idea that the
Nation is gaining strength 5y the resting OF
the meat on his lazy bones"
The President is taking such a brief
annual vacation as is usually allotted
to every Woodworking employee. He,
like many intelligent men. prefers to
get his rest on fishing trip. He has
his wife and his wife's mother with
him. To the utmost of his power he
has made the trip thoroughly quiet
and unostentatious one. We modestlv
submit that such stuff as that quoted
above is disgrace to American citi-

A Republican Ornament.

John P. Evans. pardOned by Govern
or Foraker and released from the Ohio
penitentiary where he had just COM
menced serving a sentence for ballot
box Stutfing, points moral and adorns
a Republican tale. The whole thing is
characteristic of Bob Kennedy. the
Rump. and Foraker, the chief engineer
of the dirty partisan business. Evans
is remembered by the writer, in his
wild and incoherent testimony before
the Legislature Investigation Commit
tee, as 4 witness to whom lying was Il
mere pastime, and perjury welcome
employment. He was both formally
and informally impeached, fatty con-
tradicted by reputable witnesses, the
testimony of the ballot-box itself,
and completely broken down on
cross-eXamination. A more pitiful
and disgusting spectacle of per-
jury exposed was never wit
messed. 1t even sickened Governor
NoyeS, one of the counsel for the con-
testers, and yet to manufacture capital
for the Republican party of Ohio this
convicted perjurer, upon an evident
agreement with the Governor of our
State, went before the Hamilton grand
jury, repeated his lying statement, was
convicted, and promptly, according to
contract, made the subject of Executive
clemency. To this dirty complexion
the Republican party of Ohio, under
the leadership of Foraker, has come at
last.-iOled0 Times.

Some Cod and BIighting Figures.

The cold figures of the returns are as
blighting to Mr.. Blaine's hopes for 1888
as were the fateful l, 149 which told, in
1884, that he had then lost all in losing
New York. He has deliberately and
even ostentatiouSly invited the result
of this State election as q criterion of
his strength; and to the end that it
should be a sweeping victory-not for
the Republican candidates. whose elec-
ton was foregone conclusion under
any circumstances-he has vigorously
participated in the campaign himself
and invited assistance from every
available quarter. 1t may be noted,
parenthetically, that the failure of this
invited assistance to respond is not the
least significant feature of the whole
affair. Logan, Sherman and Evarts,
who were especially solicited, were
conspicuous by their absence, and of
all the other eminent speakers an
bounced only Senator Allison, of Iowa.
and John d. Leg. of Massachusetts,
responded. The dispatch from his own
home. announcing that while ''both
the Republican and the Democratic
vote show falling off from that cast
in 1884. yet the Republicans have suf-
fered far more than the Democrats"
ought to sound the knell of the Blaine
candidacy.-Chicago NetCS.

Henri Rochefort, III discussing Re

Political parties have at least one
trait in common with dramatic writers
that is their extreme repugnance 20
recognize that almost ALWAYS their de-
feats should be laid to their own faults.
1t is extremely rare, indeed, for an
author to explain his want of success

bility of the actors, Or to the rain
or snow, or to excessive heat.

ditiOn apt to exert an unfavor-
able influence on the public. In

last explanation of which the IN
fortunate playwright will dream. In

never look upon this general detection
as direct consequence of their own

they exert all their ingenuity to dis

thus free themselves from the necessity
of admitting their own errors and al
low themselves to continue in them"
This is as true in America as it is in

1t has leaked out that Mr. Blaine
is very angry with Senator Frye on ac-
count of the sharp thrust the latter
gave him while playing with the edged
tools of rhetoric. The Plumed Knight
has been unable to conceal his chagrin
over his reckless language of his vola-
tile lieutenant, who has damaged him
far more than did the comparatively
harmless DR.. Burchard. There has
been some very candid correspondence
on the subject between the two men,
and the Senator has resorted to the de-
fence which his chief fell back upon in
his Portland speech early in the sum-
mer-that he was unsupported. In Sem
atOr Frye's case the excuse is palpably
false. The point was not only the most
prominent in mis- speech here, but it
was repeated in the same language in
two subsequent speeches.-M y Sun.

truth that the best safeguard to human
liberty is independence of thought and

What They Have Done for England

The Republican party allowed alien
capitalists to become possessed of 90
AZ, 600 acres of land in the United
States in the years they held the Gov
eminent after the close of the war. If
the change had not come when it did
there would have been no land for ex-
emption by citizen in a few years.
The Holland Land Company alone has
4, 500, 900 acres in New Mexico, an En-
glish syndicate holds 3,000.00 acres
in Texas. another English syndicate has
1,S00, 900 acres in Mississippi. and Sir
Edward Reid and others claim 2,0O0,-
600 acres in Florida. The picture is
not very pleasant one for an Ameri-
can citizen to gaze upon. but is shows
that the Q. o. p. was determined that
the gentry of England should have q
foothold in this country even If veter.
ans got no land.-Bufdlo 7imss
