PRESS OPINIONS.

Washington Republican: The first
great moral lesson preparatory TO the
elections of 1886 was given in Mississippi
last Wednesday.
Boston Record: 1t grows so slowly,
one would easily mistake the Grant
monument fund for government con-
sCieRce fund.
Philadelphia North American: Jay
Gould is peaCemaker in about the
the same way that q bull in a china shop
is a piecemaker.
Chicago Inter Ocean: General Butler
now stands before the country as the
legal champion of OleOmargarine. The
General appears to take pleasure in
standing on slippery places.
Charlie CulbersOn's friends are doing
some quiet but effective work for him as
Il candidate for Encouragement. The
old stagers may look wise. but they had
better do something more than look.
Atlanta Constitution: When the Nor
risOn bill is killed we shall have the
Courier-Jou rnal "shooing" a great many
Democrats out OF the party.
Cincinnati Times-Star: The Demo-
cratic situation at this writing presents
palpable incOngruity. the band being
altogether too fine for the procession.
Boston Record: Brer Morrison should
hoist the red flag at once for his cam
paign of free food and free clothing"
der that banner.
New York World: General Logan's
bill providing for the increase of enlisted
men IN the army to maximum OF 10000
will probably not be adopted, and there
20 hn
reason why it should be.
Denison News: There is hardly a
doubt that numerous worthless vaga-
bonds go prOwling around over the
country begging and doing mischief in
the name OF the strikers. 1t Is nearly
always the case.
Alvardo Bulletin: If Terrell's policy
is TO be represented in the United States
Senate, let's have Terrell to represent it
and not John Ireland to do SO second
handed. The people of Texas want no
second-handed goods.
Cleveland Leader: The Democrats in
Congress will probably use the floods in
the Missouri valley as new and power
ful argument against the admission of
Dakota. Such logic is about equal to
the mental caliber Of the party.
Philadelphia Press: The most likely
result of Colonel MOrrison's present cru
SADIE against the tariff will be pretty
general Democratic demand for the cleo
ton OF a more discreet and tractable
member from the Eighteenth Congress
sional District of Illinois.
Fort Worth Gazette: When all who
associate themselves together in labor
organizations learn that they do so to re-
sist aggression and Injustice and not to
work injustice; that the object is to free
themselves and not to enslave others,
there will be good accomplished.
LAGRANGE journal: It seems that the
railroad corporations Of the State are
bitterly opposed to Hon. A. W. Terrell
for United States Senator. If that be
true, that fact alone ought TO insure his
election. There is no doubt but that
Terrell is an anti-monopolist, If his pub
lie utterances go for anything.
Philadelphia Press: Senator Logan has
the country, if not the Senate, with him
in his desire for open executive sessions
of the Senate in dealing with nomina-
tiOns. There is something to be said in
favor of secret sessions when the Senate
is considering foreign affairs. In all
other matters there is no good reason for
secrecy.
Philadelphia Inquirer: The only way
to keep Commissioner Sparks from max
ing trouble in the land Office seems to be
for Secretary Lamar to sit down, and
gently, but firmly admonish him that,
until he has acquired q judicious mix
ture of land law and common sense, the
Department of the Interior will have no
further use for him.
