PUBLIC SENTIMENT.


three times on the table?
Dallas News: The Indian is stand
ing problem, and should be symbo-
lied by an Interrogation point.
Ohio State Journal: Ohio is for
Sherman for secretary of state. That's
one thing about which there is no
doubt.
Kansas City Times: Another Co
quelin-Hading ticket was sold yester-
day. What's the matter? High art
or high prices?
Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph:
That distin guished Englishman, Jas.
Russell Lowell, is in this country
now on short visit.
Omaha Republican: 1t is in the
postal service that the work of reform
must begin, for upon it the most vital
interests are dependent.
Detroit Tribune: General Palmer
and Colonel Maston have probably
found out by this time that the Grand
Army of the Republic isn't built that
way.
Boston Traveller: The president, in
his chapter of jeremiades called mes
sage. ought not to have omitted re-
ference to the evil and peril of ap-
pointing criminals to office.
Army and Navy Journal: The an
archists of Chicago amused them
selves with tableau in which one of
their number waved aloft a crimson
| banner and trod under foot the stars
and stripes. GA little more grape,
Captain Bragg"
LAFAYETTE Courier: The new order
of eX-union soldiers intended by Audi
tor General KoOntz to demolish and
supercede the q. a. r., has assumed
the appearance of a malaria microbe
in the act of disappearing into thin
air.
Toledo Blade: Governor Rusk, of
Wisconsin, declares that he is "a
candidate for no Office" But if Harri-
son should ask him to take a cabinet
portfolio there is mighty host of re-
publicans who would be glad to have
him accept it.
DAYTON Journal: Somebody ought
to rise and explain why Mckinley
should be classed as against Blaine.
In 1884 he was Blaine's leading friend
and advocate in Ohio and was such,
in fact, at the famous Toledo cOnven-
ton in 1887. Did he get switched at
Chicago?
Philadelphia Press: Judge Edger-
ton, the spoils member of the civil SER
vice commission, is very frank in his
| opinion that President Harrison
should make clean sweep i'll reOr-
ganizing that ornamental body. The
venerable Edgerton thus clearly
points the way to genuine reform.
Wilmington IN. c. Star: If Harri-
son shall do nothing to provoke race
disturbances and to invite stupid, bad
negroes to get up rows by their pre-
| sumption and abuse of privilege, and
shall let the south work out its own
| destiny undisturbed by the unwar-
ranted and impertnent interference
of the federal authorities, then there
will be but little complaint.
New York Press: Connecticut, the
only New England state that voted
for Cleveland, has apparently repent
ed. New Haven, which has been a
solid democratic city for ten years,
went republican in the municipal cleo
ton this week. The republican gains
made in that city alone would have
wiped out Cleveland's plurality and
given the state to Harrison.
st. Paul Pioneer Press: There is no
reason why any socialist, sOlicitOus
| for the advan tages of cooperation in
his faith, should not flock with the OF
der of Mr.. Barry; and the withdrawal
| of this unreasonable and VIGOROUSLY
uuarrelsome element will enable the
| knights to work more uninterruptedly
and successfully for the accomplish
ment of those different and reasonable
purposes for whose promotion only
they should exist.
st. Louis GlObe-DemOcrat: Con
| gresham Oates very candidly says
that the south will never be satisfied
with anything less than 1.-The elimina-
ton of the negro from politics." AS
such a process is out of the question
the south may as well be making up
her mind to live in a dissatisfied
mood. Whatever may be done with
regard to the negro, it is very certain
that the right to vote will never be
taken away from him by Federal leg
islatiOn.
Boston Journal: We do not ina
CINE that President Harrison will be
able so to exercise the appointing
power as to please his mugwump cen
sors. They are getting ready to wall
and they will probably wall anyway
Proba bl y when the democratic incOm,
petents who have botched the rail-
way mail service, for example, are re.
tired, shrek will go up from the
mugwump press. This is to be looked
for, and will disturb no one. But
