PUBLIC OPINIONS

Atlanta OOnsllIuIiOu IL Is bhiu luhl
Allen G. Thurman drinks only Apoli-
naris water. Is it true, then, that
genuine Democracy Is dying outr
Buffalo Commercial Advertiser: The
Mugwump newspapers are doing their
best to widen the breach between the
administration and the Democratic
party.
Memphis Avalanche: Ii Is said that
the Hon. David Davis wants 10 re-enter
politics. TO this no reasonable objec-
tion can be made, but he must not ex-
pect to bring the fence In with him.
Philadelphia Times: II there is either
honesty or respect for IL in Chicago, the
dishonest band that controls city affairs
will be hunted down and exposed, no
matter to whom disgrace may come.
Chicago News: c. p. Huntington,
the railroad magnate, was once farm
hand on a Connecticut homestead. We
have every reason to belive that his
special duties were to water the stock.
Laredo Times: Mr. ii. II. McLane,
Of San Antonio, rises to ask: watch
man, what of the Knights?" But the
Waterman don't know; he turned the
corner as soon as the knights appeared
in sight.
Shelby County Champion: A Ten
nessee court has closed term, in which
six murderers escaped conviction, by
sending a hungry woman to prison for
two years for stealing quart OF butter
milk. Thus do the courts discourage
petty theft.
New York Sun: There is still oppor-
tunity for the president to steer his
course entirely and not partially hy
party wishes and necessities. whatever
else he does he would at least be more
consistent II he should lay down and fol-
low a straight and unVarying course one
way or the other.
Cleveland Leader: The Democrats
have vainly tried to cOntrOvert the con-
elusive evidence of fraud. but their case
is hopeless. and the four Hamilton county
Democrats must therefore 90. The peO-
pie demand it, and General Kennedy and
the Republican Senators will see to II
that men honestly and fairly elected
from Hamilton county get their seats.
Atlanta Constitution: The twO-thirds
vote by which Mr.. Bland was permitted
to name the days on which the silver
question should be disposed OF shows
that the gOldbugs have no standing in
the House of Representatives. The
coinage of silver will continue for the
future as in the past.
New York Mail and Express: The
Republican party was misrepresented
and scanGalized in the house yesterday,
by the narrow minded opposition of
Congressman Price to the bill granting
5000 year pension to Mrs. Hancock.
The Wisconsin Republicans will disown
this small specimen of manhood.
Philadelphia Times: A proposition Ia
going the rounds to celebrate the cen
Iennial of the Constitution of the United
States by holding convention TO revise
il and propose amendments. What this
country needs worse than that, however,
is q revision OF the men elected to pass
laws to carry the Constitution into effect.
Dallas Herald: Where in the world
has the Terrell boom been hid
den in these dark and gloomy
days? Is the subject of taking
a resurvey of his 100000 acre bill in
order to cut down the figures First Il
statesman, then a surveyor and at last
restful in the retirement Of his fellow
citizens.
St. Paul minnesota Globe: 1t may
be less wearing to the system
to edit a gOOd-slZed pOstOInce than u
modern daily, but inasmuch as offensive
partisanship prevents Colonel Longs
berry from continuing the former, he
has resolved to return TO the latter. He
will take editorial charge of the Lake
Superior News, which will be issued as
daily on and after May /.
indianapolis Journal: No corporation
can afford to arbitrarily refuse to confer
with its employees. Public sentiment
will not sustain such intOlertnt action.
This is the day of arbitration, and 1t has
come to stay. But good faith and hon
Orable conduct on both sides are essen
tial to the success OF arbitration, and to
the satisfactory and profitable conduct
OF any enterprise.
Chicago News: During the last GO
years the conscience fund.- in the
United States treasury has grown to the
enormous sum of S220.746. This repre-
SCENTS only such cases OF quickened con-
science among the defrauders ofthe gov
eminent as have resulted in return of
the sums stolen. An idea of the aggre-
gate of theft can be imagined when one
stops to think how few men ever realize
that they have conscience.
