AS To Steam Whistles.
pitteburg Dispatch.

Is a steam whistle necessary to the successful
operation of a rolling.mll or factory2 1t ie

vised for calling the workmen to time. Thert
may be something in this, but there would be
more in it if all the workmeu lived within hear.
ing of the whistle. However they may live
within hearing of some other whistle. This ia
perhaps the strongest claim that can be set up in
behalf of the brazen disturber of the peace.
Isn't il funny that banks, dry goods stores
wholesale establishments, jewelry stores, saloons
and places OF amusement don't have themq
Banking houses are specially prompt about open
ing and closing. and are very particular about
their employees being on hand to the minute.
Almost every kind of business house is particu.
lar about having all the folks on deck at the
hour for opening, yet they seem to get along
fairly well without steam whistles

THE Indiana correspondent of the New York
World states the truth in recent letter to that
paper when he says: "Under the legislative
redistricting il would be possible for the Re-
publicans to carry the State by $4,000 or 49,
900 and yet lose the Legislature" This is the
point that the Republicapparty makes against
the Democratic, that the latter have practical
ly disfranchised the majority in Indiana SO far
as the Legislature and representation in Con-
gress is concerned. Tho World correspondent
goes on and reveals why it is that Governor
Gray is compelled to indorse the swindle, he
being an active candidate for the United
States Senate. For this reason ne cannot do
otherwise than stand up for the gerrymander.
But unlike other Democratic candidates for the
senatorship, Gov. Gray has to make double
fight, to carry not only the Legislature, but
the State, as well, on the State ticket For if
the Republicans succeed in electing O Lieu
tenant-governor, it would be folly for him to
expect to be elected to the Senate, turning
over the governship TO his political opponents.
Keeping these facts in view, it is easy to I'M
derstand how it is that Gov. Gray is occupy
ing a very peculiar position, and one in which
he is likely to see his political ambition disap
pear in eclipse, just as was intended by his
fellow-partisan when they succeeded in "put-
ting him in the hole by securing federal
appointment for the Democratic Lieutenant
governor. This last trick has nearly robbed
the gerrymander of all it's beauty to Mr.. Gray.
but it is that or nothing for him, hence his
attitude that no one can reconcile with con-
sistency or the commonest rules Of political
honesty

The New York Sun editorially makes the
discovery that 'the platform which described
and advocated this radical change which Mr.
Cleveland aims to establish was not that upon
which he was nominated, but the one which
had been adopted the month before by the
convention which nominated the Hon. James
G. Blaine" The Sun moralizes on this by
exclaiming, Strange isn't its' Well, yes it is
strange in some respects, for it is anomalous
that a Democrat should even nominally stand
on Republican principle. But it is not
strange that the reform should not succeed
any better than it has. Republican principles
are better carried out by the Republican party
The government was on the safe and
direct highway to honest civil-service re-
form at the time the country was turned over

division of the spoils of victory

The Vermont Election.

Boston Transcript
AS showing on what the election hinged, and
how lightly party lines were regarded in some
towns, we can point to one instance where the
Democrats and Edmunds men coalesced to elect
Democrat Representative pledged TO support
Mr.. Edmunds. In other towns combinations
were effected between Democrats and anti Ed
munds men. Vermont is too sensible TO retire
one of her most distinguished citizens at the de-
mand of any politician or set of politicians.

trophies of noble manhood, and trampling
upon the affections of happy family Itwould
