THE New York Post, after noting the pre-
diction by Mr.. Paddy Diver, a New York
Democrat of some prominence, that Cleve-
lands majority in that city will be "a cold
one Of 10000" remarks that there can be no
disguise of the fact that the warmth with
which all the most Objectionable elements of
the Democratic party arc supporting the
President gives good many of his non
partisan friends unpleasant emotions. Es-
pecially is this the case when the facts about
the civil-servlce reform work of the admins
tration are considered. Strong the united
Democratic organizations in New York are,
they are not invincible They have failed
more than once to carry the State without the
aid of Independent voters, and they may fail
again. 1t would be grave mistake for the
base his hopes entirely upon their support.
The Post is an unhappy paper. 1t fully in
tends and expects to support Cleveland for re-
nomination and election, but knows that in
doing SO it must abandon all the lofty princi-
pies of reform behind which it has masquer
AIDED for so long and accept place at the
tail-end of the Democratic machine instead of
the prominent one held four years ago. The
reluctance to step down out of this position of
assumed importance leads to much ungraceful
foundering. The implied threat to the Presi-
dent means nothing, since the fact is we'll
recognized that nothing in the way of civil
service reform will be done by him from this
time forward The Post must cherish him
for his free-trade doctrines alone and take him
with the Objectionable patty elements tail
and all.

The Prospect Cheering.

San Francisco Chronicles.
After all, the most that be said in the
way of probabilities is this: that Rhode Island
is manufacturing State, and many, If not
most, OF the new voters are employed or
gagged in misunderstanding. they, not being fools,
will not be apt to quarrel with their bread and
butter, or to support party under whose policy
manufacturing would be impracticable if not
impossible. For these reasons Republicans
must respectfully decline to concede Rhode
Island to Cleveland and free-trade at least until
after the November election.

Foraker for sherman.
Toledo Blade

There seems TO be a disposition among Domo-
cratic newspapers to imply that Foraker is
cretly ambitious to be a candidate against
Mr.. Sherman. This is cruelty unjust to the
Governor. Any one who knows Foraker knows
that his methods are never secret aud under
handed. He is open the day. fair fighter,
and if he inclined to enter the lists for the
nomination he vould do so as openly as did
Senator Sherman. We know, an absolute
certainty, that Governor Foraker feels that
Obio's support should be- given to Mr.. Sherman,
and that he viii head the delegation 10 Chicago
with the purpose of doing all that lies in hia
power to promote the Senator's nomination

exceedingly well, and the others corroborated
this information, aud said that fathers fund of
life and spirits was fuller than ever. He had
some little twinees at Florence that made him
think he was going to have rheumatism. but
it all went away. The stories that are being

THERE is movement in Philadelphia to ar

propose TO secure their presence Unless the
attractions greater and differ from the ordi-
nary school methods much as to have the adj

be persuaded to forego their freedom. In
any there is room for doubt as to whether
the benefit to to their minds and morals
would Offset the physical advantages gained by
activity and outdoor life. Twelve months
schooling in year is rather OVERRIDING the thing.

wisdom of its purchase Il is true that in prin-

yet it has been bought and paid for, and it would
be unwise to sell at any sum that it would now
bring in the market. The city will have to

put it in the best condition the finances will

There are exceptions, of course, just as
there are in America or any other

In discussing the avs and institution S
of Russia the American naturally be-
comes impatient. Changes are wrought
in all monarchial countries by degrees.
There are no political revolutions like

government, and that with so many va

and expressions from the people are not

In considering the defense made by

the position taken by native Russians
who are loyal to their ruler in advocat'
