PRESS OPINIONS.

Philadelphia Times: To allay thou
sand rumors t. the contrary, II is noted
that Mr.. Blaine is not deyoting any time
to politics. This is official.
Philadelphia North American: There
has been no more popular performance
Of The Mikade" in this country than
that gift to The Grant monument fund.
Detroit Tribune The only mourner
at the silent and gloomy tomb Of the
Morrison bill Is the misguided gentleman
who was tempted to become the father
OF II.
Macon Telegraph: 1t is now under
stood why the French Academy made
NJ. de Lesseps an Immortal. They
wanted to give him time to construct the
Panama Canal.
Shelby County Champion: States
msnship is the quality least desirable in
a candidate Of politicians and lobbyists
who expect to read q reward In the
event OF his success.
Paris News: Come, Uncle Daniel.
brace up and take your fodder like a
man. Smith ia better man than Baker
ever dared to be, and he is the Demo-
cratic nominee besides. :.
Bolton News: Austin, the graveyard
for afternoon papers and servant girls,
is soon to have another evening paper,
the Call. Nose Harris Of Hot Springs
and newspaper fame, will be the pub
Usher.
Atlanta Constitution: The Prohibi-
tionists Of Chicago like Sam Jones.
They are right. Jones is the most
powerful speaker on the temperance
question that the country has seen since
John P. Cough.
East Texas Pinery: TO make poor
man. who has little use for . road, wsrk
five days In each year, and allow man
worth his thousands to go free because
be is over 45 years old, Is a grand fraud
and an unjust discrimination.
Philadelphia Times: Any social
structure Of which dictation is the cor
Aer-stone will collapse sooner or later,
and when 1t falls the people in 1t will be
worse hurt than the people outside.
Better lay some other cornerstone.
Washington Republican,: Chaplain
Milburn has moro faith than any Of his
contemporaries. He is the only clergy
man who dees not realize the inutility
Of praying for the reformation Of the
present Democratic house Of representa-
tives.
Brooklyn Eagle: 1t is perhaps not too
late to cherish the hope that the agile
Colonel Morrison and the risky Sam
Randall will not undertake the same
role simultaneously. One bull in the
Democratic china-shOp at q time is
enough.
Glen Rose Citizen: That's very thin
story about the attempted assassination
of Hon. w. X. Baker, the independent
candidate for Mayor in Houston. The
whole affair, including the old mans
limping account Of the shooting, bears
the criticism Of q put-up job.
Louisville Courier-Journal: America
will solve the labor problem as 1t has
solved q number Of others. but 1t will
take time. Time and freedom may be
trusted to work out every social or polit-
ical perplexity, which, to an infamed
Imagination, is full of promise Of ruin
and disaster.
Balance Wheel: Dallas is second
cousin to hill in point Of heat In the
summer time, and contains too many as
piring dar k-horse candidates for the var
iOus state offices, and to hold the con-
ton theirs would offer too many induce
ments to thwart the will Of the people
in making nominations.
New York Star: Whatever Democrat
will reform the tariff must count with
Mr.. Manning. Mr.. Carlisle, Mr.. Morri-
son and Mr.. Randall, and either one Of
those four will have to count with each
OF the others. The democratic party ex-
poets these four to get together and
agree.
