PRESS COMMENT.

indianapolis Journal: The underlying
issue of this campaign in this State is
whether the people Of Indiana are to be
practically DISTINGUISHED in order that
the Democratic party may control the
Legislature and send ten OF the thirteen
members to Congress.
Boston Traveller: Mr.. Bayard can
never be in better position TO declare
himself than he is to-day. lie found no
difficulty in expressing his views OF the
Cutting case. The country wants to
hear from him as to the fair end just
claims of our fishermen
Detroit Tribune: 1t will be partiou-
larly the triumph OF American industry
if the Fiftieth and Fifty-first Congresses
ofthe United States can be made clearly
Republican, and the victory sup
plemented by Republican success in the
Presidential campaign in 1883.
st Louis Republican: Home rule will
be won peacefully or not at all, and the
Irishmen who advocate murder as a
political expedient will find themselves
10 contemplate and cOwardly mi
nority, without respect for their own
race and without sympathy from
America.
Buffalo Courier: "What we want"
says Red Cloud, the Sioux chief, "i5
white men to plant our corn, hoe 1t, and
put 1t into the barns which they build
for us. Warriors don't work."
Anarchists and professional" labor re-
formers are said to regard these
sentiments as noble and timely.
Philadelphia Press: The records OF
Congress show that the Democrats as a
party are hostile to the principle OF
protection to American Industry, and
Republicans do well to impress this fact
upon every man who, as head-wOrker or
hand worker, has a stake in the industry
and prosperity Of the country.
Kansas City Times: Mrs Parsons had
the sympathy of the country in such
phase of her as wOmanly. But she
mistakes the people if she thinks their
naturally great Chivalary toward women
can not be strained TO point where it
will snap. Her Latin blood is running
riot with her reason.
st Louis Globe Democrat: This cOun-
try once haa Il Secretary of War who,
when called upon TO furnish tents for the
people in the great distress like that at
Charleston, would have not said that his
stock was exhausted after forwarding a
few dozen. His name was Stanton.
Under him, the tents would have been
forthcoming, even ifthey had 10 be made
to order.
New York Tribune: The rapid
growth of temperance sentiment has
been shown in Massachusetts recently
by the organization ola new noDpartlsan
prohibition movement by number OF
Republicans, who hold that the saloon
evil can be overcome without abandon
the party. The anti-saloon movement
seems likely to demonstrate the
prevalence of this view even more
clearly.
New York World: Mr.. Arthur's
belef.th "labor capital and should rason
together" and that "the employer as
well as the employed should observe the
golden rule" If employees would oftener
follow this rule labor difficulties would
be few. The workingmen, by paying
more heed to the Arthurs and Powderlys
and less to the ignorant demagogues
and anarchists among them are greatly
strengthening their cause.
Minneapolis Tribune: Miss Kate
Field, whose lectures on MOrOnism are
attracting wide notice, and whose study
of that suject has been thorough, lie
endeavoring to interest the Grand Army
in the removal from this country of the
twin relic" Rlavery fell by the ham
of the Uniod volunteers Why should
they not employ the power Of their
Grand Army organization for the
extinction of the reasonable and lOath-
some practices OF the Mormon
conspiracy? Even if Miss Fields idea
should seem far-fetChed at first blush,
its pertinence will grow more and more
apparnt upon reflection.
