The anger which sulks. and pouts and frets
and makes sour faces and utters mean and sar-
castle replies is worse than ten thousand erupt-
i've explosions. A rattlesome bit of scolding
now and then can be endured, provided it does
not como too often But the depressing influence
of person who is given to sulking is worse

THE Sun is not lying at all when it says that
the President is not keeping his civilservce re-
form pledges to the people; it is only recording
history. 1t may be unpleasant history, but it is
true all the same, and the Sun in publishing it is
not lying only doing very dsagreeable thing
Still, the President should not get angry and ac-
cuse the World and Sun of lying because they do
not say what he wants them to say.-Philadel-

THE Presidents views respecting the civil
service question are not the views of the Demo
cratic party; and, however much ingenious ex-
positors may endeavor to show that the Demo

THE Hon. William Steele Holman will hence
forth be one watch dog among many, and will
not be so conspicuous as of yore. His facilities
as an obstructonist being largely curtaied, he
will have to advocate his wo-penny economy on
its merits. Instead of saying that his record is
good enough. such as it is, we shall be enabled
for the future to refer to it as being not bad,
what there is of it. All of which will be a
blessed and wholesome change to everybody but

The most charitable construction to be put
upon the presidential attack on the press is that
the President did not know what he was saying
Wholesale and indiscriminate ISLANDERS of any
class or men usually represent the foolish rage
of those who utter them, rather than their
sober judgment, but we do not know whether
this explanation will help President Cleveland
at all. He has wantonly gone out of his way to
insult and defy the newspaper press of the
country, and if the consequences are unpleasant
he must be left to shoulder them without assist
ance, as he invoked them without provocation.
