The Democratic 2arheeuc.

Before the train filed with hilarious Democrats
reached Riverside on its way to the Bangor baibe-
cue a good sized row had enlivened the occasion
and before the Queen City was reached six similar
episodes had occurred. The number of them along
the entire route would probably discount these
modest figures. Many respectable citizens who at
tended the barbecue now openly express their dis
gust with the whole affair. Kennebec Journal.

tude towards her." But" it adds, '.in the
United States, as in Canada. political con-
siderations go great distance; the rejection
OF the treaty by the Republicans is not
friendly act even if done only for party
purposes, and possibly Mr.. Cleveland is face
TO lace with party difficulties which NAV
confront him seriously if he allows the Re
pubiicans to have all the party advantage
winch may arise from their attitude on the
treaty"
The Toronto Globe impales the President
in this fashion:
@. How can the President and all other United
states authorities contend that their special re-
nunciation has lapsed by reason OF the general
lemoYal OF restrictions upon commercial inter-
course? AS matter of fact the Washington gov
ognlzeu that there is nothing unneighbOrly IN the
canadian refusal of the transhlpment-inb0n
privilege to American fishermen. This was pal
paDly admitted in Article is, which provided that
That privilege, together with several others, should
not accrue to United States fishermen till the
moval of United States duties on Canadian fish
and fish oil.
Instead of striking terror to the Canadi-
ans, as the President no doubt hoped his
policy would, his message seems to have ex-
cited in them little but ridicnle. They rec
ognize it as bluff and buncombe and nothing
else
