LORD sAcKvrLIE.-If Lord sackville
had only praised President Cleveland, in-
stead of charging him aud the Republican
Senate with insincerity, his letter would
have beea very pleasant reading for the
Republican tricksters who sought 10 en-
trap him. The shrewd calculation that be
would blunder has been sbundantly veri-
fed, but he was not expected 10 make a
doubled -barrelled ass OF himself.-Ex-
change.
Poor Matt Quay The people are laugh
| ing at him STILL and he is as glum and de-
spondent as a yellow fever patient
He halls from Philadelphia, and he was
imported into New York TO preach not
TO practise mind you, 'urity in politics.
| His glorious mission WAS 10 Introduce
great moral ideas into the campaign, and
with his little surplus of twenty-five
thousand dollars he offered prize of
two thousand in hard cash for the frs;
Democrat-or words TO that effect-who
should be caught making false register
Two cool thousand was cheap enough
for the amount of political capital he ex-
pected to make.-Exchange.
REPRESENTATIONS. The New York
star save of Texas member of Congress
that New Workers have right TO be
proud Of Mr.. Grain, as ne was educated
here and lived among us for many years.
The district he represents, and in which
be was born, is one of the very best man
ufacturing and wool-raising districts in
the South, and Mr.. Grain is familiar with
that telling illustration Of the injurious
effect Of the anomalous ultra protective
tariff afforded by the fact that Texan
can cross the frontier and buy American
goods in Mexico at less price than he
can procure them within the United
| States
New NORK's INTEREST IN THE ELEc-
TIoS.-While the Democratic business
men of New York are marching in pro-
cession today the Republican business
men will have time to consider the ques-
ton. Where lies the interest of this
( city and State in the coming election
As business men they ought TO look
ahead, and If they do they will see that
whatever may be their partisan pEetllec-
ton, 1t would be very much to their III
teresi, very much for the prosperity and
growth Of the city, 10 have Mr.. Clege'
land reelected.
Whatever el e the Republican leaders
may do or attempt il thew should regain
control of the Federal Government, on
one thing they are publicly and plainly
determined In Congress and on the
stump, everywhere theT have declared
their determination 10 reopen the South
ern question. ilr Harrison, Mr. Blaine,
Mr.. Sherman, Mr.. Hoar, and following
them hundreds of lesser lights, all have
asserted this 70 be the one policy on
which they are decided N. \. Herald.
WEST NmGIsIA.-Boih parties in West
| Virginia are working as they never
worked before, and each seems to be fully
imbued with the idea that any relaxation
from the very unusual pace which has
been set means defeat all along the line
Meetings are of daily occurrence in al
most every community and neighbor.

HE NEW ANGLOMANlA -SOclal An
glomania consists In aping English man
ners aud customs. Political Anglomania
takes the form of an appeal to anti
English prejudices and to ignorant fears.
The first is simply silly. Ihe last is both
| puerile and unpsIriotic.
In anything except political cam
paign it would be an amazing paradox
for a set of men claiming to be pre-.
emnenlly American to look to England
for an Interpretation of the policy o. the
United States. Are not the American
people capable of understanding their
own affairs Do they NOT know the
effect of their own revenue policy until
English Journals or statesmen have ex-
