and whatever he can get to do, but he

state of natural restfulness which his ilk
call "born tired" 5ilss came to mend
a fence the other day for one of his pa
irons in the suburban village where he
belongs, with peculiar air of festivity
about him. He had on a bright new
neck tie of blue japanese silk, and his
honest face was covered by an expansive
grin all the time that he was receiving
his orders.
"You seem happy, Silas." said Mr.
Blank, with some curiosity, when he had
finished about the fence.
"Ya as" drawled Siias. "Ya-as, I've
been a gitsin' married this mornin'."

THYRE is one instrument in the hands
of the Knights of Labor which they
should use so sparingly that it might
we'll fall into disase. That is boycotting.
The people are willing to suffer the in
conveniences which result from strikes,
but boycottiug with its minute rani
fcations NEEDLES too much with personal
rights. Amy organization whose hand
is raised against every one will soon have
every ones hand against it. The boy
colt was an extreme measure and had its
origin i'll mans extremity. To make it
common is to make it so unpopular that
it will not be tolerated nor will those who
advocate it.

THERE was none of Cleveland's ap-

than his appointment of Manning, and
still, excepting Alexander Hamilton, the

1t was thought he was purely a machine

lcal opponents accord him the highest
praise. Manning's education consisted
In the habit of securing mastery by fully

IT is little singular that the reports
given of repeaters and the men who
staggered because of too heavy load of
"bug-juice" at the election polls, make
them speak with strong Irish brogue.
No doubt there is some truth in the re-
ports-far too much for the credit of the
Irish. But no doubt the reporter drew
largely upon an imagination made active
by fashionable bigotry. 1t is the custom,
and the average reporter hasn't mind
enough to lift himself out of the narrow
rut which asoribes everything bad ito
the Irish.''

The Germans will soon grow dis.
gusted with the demagogues who are
working them for political purposes.
The person who raises that cry is just
the one who hopes to profit by it. That
is the sentiment Of nation Atty is to be
worked up and the sdroit manipulation
hopes, himself to become the beneficiary
The Germans of the lake shore counties
are the most tolerant people. In mum
bers they outrank all other nationaIities
combined, counting as Germans those of
that parentage, and still they have not
shown any clannishness in political mat
tiers. In fact until recently it was not
sought to inject that question in any
campaign in the interest of anyone.
The Northwestern used the argument five
years ago and unfortunately, with telling
effect. Fred Horn has since been using
it solely in his own interest but without
avail so far as his aspirations are con-
cerned.
But it becomes somewhat amusing
when English papers seek to lead the
Germans by the argument of nationality.
The Sentinel backed Fred Horn on two
issues: % His opinions on the silver
question; (2) his nationality. To the
credit of the Germans they did not put
Fred Horn forward as their representa-.
tive aod he has since been reducing the
size of his imperial mustache by angrily
chewing it.
One would suppose the failure of The
Sentinel on its FIRST venture would make
it little chary Of using this line of
argument a second time. But it has
been busy In arraying the national
sentiment in favor of Wallber. Hinsey
has very vulnerable record and particu
larly on a matter which The Sentinel in
the interests of decency might attack.
But that it chose to let severely alone
and raised the national issue.

On, how completely ignored was the
liduor question in the ante election dis
cussions in Milwaukee this spring. The
Sentinel occasionally whispered about
Rosina George, but always started from
it as if it was beset with dangers. Not

treatment of the cleanest, the best, the
most Independent mayor Milwaukee ever
had Of course campaign on that line
would result in defeat in Milwaukee, but

to learn their reasons. But in this he
failed. Now it is in order for the re-
publican papers to insist that the senate

hold that it was proper to require the

to be absolutely sickening, and the
paper which is an organ can flop in
opinions with such rapidity as to meet

wAnnrR was reelected mayor of Mil

WALLER was reelected mayor of Mil
waukee by majority of 1,5OO. While
the defeat of Hinsey is 8 matter of con-
graduation, the success Of Walber is to
be deplored. He Was put forward BE-
cause of his negative character and
elected simply because he was lacking IN
those positive traits of character which
are apt to make enemies while following
out line of conviction. Wallber Is not
a man of convictions. His lack OF force
was the source of his strength
in the factional city of Milwaukee.
He was for high license and for low
license; he was in favor Of exercising
some discrimination in the issuance of
licenses and was equally pronounced In
favor of granting them to all without re-
gard to the character or reputation of the
applicant. This was Wallber. He unit
ed in himself the extreme temperance
idea and the personal liberty notion, and
he was supported by the advocates OF
both.
There was in opposition to this political
hermsphrodite man of positive char
acter and splendid abilities but so per
verted by participation in Milwaukee
politics that he thought the surest path
to popularity was to glorify vice. When
Mayor Stowell sought to purify the city
of Milwaukee, morally, and make re-
spectacle the business of saloonkeeping
by closing the disreputable ones, Hinsey
with sublime audscity and unexamplsd
vigor became the champion of tbs worst
class OF saloons and in their interest the
executive OF the metropolis of Wisconsin
was degraded to the position of tally
keeper of the number of licenses Hinsey
and his cohorts might issue. There was
purpose in this proceeding of Rinsey.
He had an eye to the future. He knew
the saloons were the interest Milwaukee
most fondly cherished and he hoped
through an exhibition of Partially for
this darling of the people to attain to
high official station. He became presi-
dent of the Liquor Dealers Association
as means of acquiring popularity. He
now abuses the Germans and says there
is NO use for any one to oppose German
for Office in Milwaukee. All, Mr.. Hin
sey, the Germans have done themselves
credit in rebuking you for the means you
took to win their favor.

THIS is the day fixed by Gladstone for
making public his Irish scheme. He
has had difficult time of it with his
cabinet associates and members of his
party, but thus far has held them to-
gether with tolerable oompactness. If
there was a young man of statesmanlike
qualities on whom the mantle of Glad
stone could fall, home rule for Ireland
would be only question of short time.
But the deplorable fact is, when he dies
the disposition among Engiishmen to do
ireland justice dies with him. Glad
stones age is calamity to Ireland.

A G. A. r. POST of Iowa has had food
for its valor furnished in a little cir
cumstance which would escape the atten-
ton of anyone not having superabund
ance of loyalty. A reception was given
in Louisville. Kentucky to Miss Lee
daughter of General Lee. The invita-
tions used for the reception had picture
of rebel flag and oh, horrors! the gen.
tlemen present wore miniature rebel flags
on the lapels of their coats. In view of
these facts this G. A. R. post in thunder
tones issues set of resolutions designed
to save the country and announce their
patriotic intention by borrowing for the
occasion the oath and sentiment of Old
Hickory declaring Gin the words of the
illustrious Jackson, by the eternal, the
Union must and shall be preserved"
A copy of the resolution from which
the above quotation is taken should be
sent instanter to John Logan. He is
pushing a scheme through the senate to
increase the standing army to 10000.
But what's the use2 Here is this G. A.
R. post fearlessly announcing "by the
eternal the Union must and shall be pre-
served" though its integrity was threat
ened olny by the foppish display of minia
ture flags on coat lapels. When patriotism
is 30 exquisitively sensitive that it can
sniff danger in the ornamentation on a
card of invitation or the dictates of fash
ion in dress, the country is safe.
This G.. A. r. post announces that the
Country ia in danger" Oh, Sho, how
can it while this post is there to guard it.
Certes, it has undergone great strains
lately. Stonewall Jackson's horse lately
died and his demise was commented
upon; JEFF Davis is going to deliver a
speech, and worst of all, these gentlemen
wore miniature rebel flags on the lapels
of their coats" But we are safe for this
post informs US liz one of the whereases
called forth by this momentous occasion,
that "they fought to protect the Amer
lean flag" This was not in dispute but
it was thought as we'll to have it distinctly
understood. OF course they stand ready
to do the same thing again and we are
just as safe as if Logan secured his 5000
increase to the regular army.

The strike is by no means at an end,
and has already resulted in bloodshed.
As usual the strikers are bitterly de-
nounced and all the power the law can
muster is opposed to them. 1t is true
they are guilty of acts which a-a in con-
traven.ion of law. But what are they to
doa Appeal to courts which are so con-
stituted as to make the appeal hopslessa
Those who condemn the strikers should
reflect that they have none but lawless
means open to them to redress their
grievances.
The strikers are at disadvantage this
time so far as receiving public sympathy
is concerned. The strike has not had
sufficient justification. They appreciate
that fact, but the struggle now is not
because of the dismissal of Hall. That
circumstance has been lost sight of. Tho
contest now is between labor and the
constituted power of government as the
partisan of organized wealth. Theoret-
ically the interests of labor and capital
are identical, whep these elements are
coordinate and neither seeks an undue
advantage Of the other. But when one
seeks to deprive the other of it's rights,
retaliation becomes justlfiable and the
only means left to secure that respect
for mutual rights which is so apt to be
disregarded when it can with IMMUNITY.
Capital will not wrong labor, we are
told, because labor is necessary to make
capital productive. Neither will kings
wrong their subjects because the pros
perity of the subject increases the imper-
ial exchequer. And yet the history of the
past is narration of kingly oppression
until the rights of the subject were guar
anteed and placed beyond the power of
the ruler to sequestrate. This WAS done
by the power of numbers, not by appeals
to law of which the king was the source
and framed with particular reference to
making him supreme. In the United
States, corporations are kingly in their
power. They have control of the legis-
latures of the states and the nation. The
United States courts are theirs without
reservation. The laws ars framed, or if
not, are construed so as to perpetuate
the despotism and give effect to it's man
dates. 1t is against this corporation
dynasty that the strikers are really fight
ing, though the purpose which actuates
them falls short of the grand conception
of which the immediate wrong complain
ed of is only an incident.
The Knights of Labor are at disad-
vantage in having the vicious,-the camp
followers and suffers impressing their
character upon the movement. The
many who ''ask their bread from chance
and not from toll" welcome disturb
ance which throws the chance on the
surface. Some of the organizers are
rampant socialists in disguise or dema-
gogues of the worst type, infaming pas
sion by their addresses and putting for
ward as champions of the cause the scum
of society whose proper place is behind
the bars. 1t is this class which brings
the movement into disrepute. These
men are after pillage, not rights, and
they come to the front when men who
organize lodges are devoid of principle
and character, interested in social dis
turbance, rampant socialists and worth
less vagabonds.

BURKE of the employment committee

ailing. He needs liver pad or little
pepsin. "Of the total number of EN-

He lugubriously adds: NEARLY 40 per
cent. OF all who have been discharged

He might pass some resolutions and thus
find employment in the intervals whom

HEMADE DAN TIRED.

Cleveland, the hardest worked man of
the administration, is apparently the
healthiest, writes q correspondent of The
Cleveland Leader. He sleeps like top
and grows fat on work and worry. I
heard day or 30 ago how Col. Lamont
was surprised at Cleveland's power OF
getting along without sleep. When La
mont called upon him at Buffalo and
spent day or go with him there the two
sat Up until after midnight, and Dan sup
posed that they would sleep until about
noon the next day. He was aroused
hearing someone backing his boots an i
whistling like bird in the next room.
He got up and fonnd it was the festive
president, dressed, looking fresh as
spring water, and ready for breakfast.
Lamont vent through some dumbbsll
exercises with his shoes to get his sys
tenn up to ;.s usual tone, and called ont:
"Good morning." as though he had
never had more than four hours sleep
during single night Of his life. He told
Cleveland that he dotted on early rising,
and cited the inst ances of Jefferson, who,
even in his old age, got up as soon a. it
was light enough for him to See the
hands of the clock on the dial opposite
his bed. Lamont had, / think, intended
to have spent week with Cleveland,
but on the next night, after sitting up
until o'clock and being again wakened
at Z O'Clock. he feared that his constitu
ton would not hold out with his pro-
LESSONS, and pressing business called
him very OPPORTUNITY back to Albany.
Cleveland is good deal like Napoleon
in the matter of sleep. A few hours of
better now than he did when he came
into the white house.

at which Papal Legate assisted, no
mention was made of this supposed grant.
Even the Protestant Usher, a celebrat-
