THREE OF A KIND.

1t has been the sport Of the Republic
ans to deride the Democratic party for
its supposed submission to the animal
Americanus known as ''boss."
With much more fairness could the
Democracy, if it had time for such
child's play, point to the abject manner
in which the Republican party is fol-
lowing the ''boss.''
Mr.. MERRIAM snaps the whip, Mr..
Newell sneeZes, and at once every Re-
publican who has commercial instincts
implanted in his bosom bows his head
and sneeZes too.
Mr.. MCGILL lifts his finger, LOREN
FLETCHER curses, and every Republic
an officeholder goes to the ground and
curses too.
MIR. ScHEFFER prates of the people.
Mr.. ABERLE calls for spirits, and every
Republican tinctured with demagogy
and low license pounds on the bar and
calls for spirits also.
These are the three "bosses" of the
Republican party who are rending it
asunder and hurting it to its knees be-
fore false gods.
Three little "bosses," and behind
them embryo bosses" GILMAN, BRA
DEN and RICE, all cracking small whips
at the heels of the scurrying party.
The party IS greater than the man.
The Democracy has proven that adage.

present ISSUES.

1t would seem, after more than a
quarter of a century had elapsed since
the last flag had been furled in the war,
and all the questions growing out OF 1t
had been adjusted, that party oracles
and orators would be content to leave
the past undiSturbed, and move on 10
issues of the present. In response to an
inquiry upon this point, prominent
Republican politician, who will make a
good many speeches during the cam
paign, in candid moment gave as the
solution of this question that there
was no way to enthuse the
masses but to fight over again
the battles of the past. 1t was
much easier to arouse the prejudiceS of
the civil contest than to convince by ap-
peals to reason and an honest stdiscuSsion
of the financial and business issues pre-
sented in the platforms of the parties
In word, the bloody shirt was still to
be waved to take the place of argument
and logic. In following out this idea
some of the Republican papers are re-
viving the obsolete nomenclature of the
war period, and insisting that that party
alone was the savior of the Uuion and
Furnished about all the federal soldiers.
This claim is easily refuted by histories
and official records. The matter is of
little practical moment, and noted only
as an incident in the Republican man.
agement of the present campaign. Dem
ocrats who take up the controversy
seriously make surprising exhibit
from the records of the war department.
They compare the Republican vote OF
1860 with the composition of the army

NEW YORK.

TILDEN carried New York by $4,000
on a platform which declared for a
tariff for revenue only. At that time
the Prohibition vote in that state was
insignificant. This year, with the Re
publicans on the free whisky platform,
the Prohibition vote will be Swelled to
100000 Put this and that together, and
add thereto the strength of an able, wise
and economical administration of the
government for the last four years, and
you have ample reason for the claim
that New York will certainly cast her
electoral vote for CLEVELAND.
St. Paul daily globe., 1888-08-21
A MATTER OF CASH.

Where no necessity of taxation exists
and taxes are imposed, there is wrong
done to the people taxed.
A tax imposed for a financial emer-
gency and maintained after that emer-
gency is passed is wrong done to the
people taxed.
A tax imposed without the authority
of the constitution by which the govern
ment imposing the tax is governed is
illegal.
These three propositions are incon-
trOvertible.
With over one hundred millions in
the treasury above current expenses,
the United States government has
no necessity for extraordinary tax
alton, such as AZ per cent on the articles
used in daily life.
There being no war, no demand for a
financial surplus, to raise and maintain
surplus is unjust.
The constitution never having author
lied the war tariff, it is illegal.
These seven propositions are VIII at

WHAT KIND OF HoCUs-POCUs Is IT;
by what kind of operation unknown to

it done so?
Why, my friends, let me tell you one simple
fact. According to the very last accounts

toner's, to recover damages in the sum

effect that the latter had held improper

and compelled by threats and other NAL
treatments to getdown upon his knees
before the priest and withdraw and
humbiy apologize for the charges he had
made against him, aid that while in
this position he was struck several times

The Democratic convention has made a
nomination for governor of q gentleman for
whose character no Democrat will be COM
pelied to blush. The delegates to that con-
vention were the representative Democrats
of the state. They were sensible lot of
men. And in no way did they better illus
trate this quality than in the naming of Hon.

Democrats can unite. He will also attract a

Special to the Globe.
New YORK, Aug. 20.-One of the
boldest murders ever known in New
York was committed at $50 this after
noon in perhaps the most crowded point
at that hour in the metropolis. Yet
the murderer escaped unmolested and
only three persons can throw even
partial light on the mystery. A news
boy, Levi Cohen, saw two men talking
eXcitedly on Park Row. at the entrance
to the Brooklyn bridge. They sepa-
rated one going into Hillen's saloon,
next to the bridge, the other following
him. The first man, seeing that he was
followed, walked out of side door and
into an adjoining hallway. The second
man followed. Cohen then heard Shot
and saw the second man emerge from
the hallway, throw smoking revolver
behind fruit stand, and cO0lly walk up
Park row, mingling with the throng Of
pedestrians Cohen ran into the hall
way and found the dead body of the
man who had first entered the place.
He had been
SHOT THROUGH THE HEAD.
The police were quickly on the spot,
but the only persons beside Cohen who
could throw any light on the affair
weae George Phoebus,'a a reporter, and
George Finklehaus, his companion, who
had heard something that they now be-
lieved was the shot, and had seen a
man come out of the hallway and walk
away. They did not see the pistol,
and did not know anything was wrong.
Their description ef- the murderer
agrees with that of Cohen, namely a
man about twenty-five years old. slight,
with small brown museaehe, and with a
scar under his left ear. Bernard Man
ming, of Brooklyn, who comes pretty
near answering this description and who
refuses to admit or deny anything, has
been arrested. The three witnesses
cannot positively identify him. The muir
dered man was plainly dressed in black
was about five feet eight inches tall,
weighed $50 pounds and had brown
mustache. Nothing showing his iden-
tity was found on him. A piece of paper

were found in his pockets; also reStau-

A MEMOIR

The dawning sunshine lay golden
Upon the heart of the year.
The flowers had their cups upholden
Each holding tiny tear.
Then over the pulse of the season
You came and quickened its beat;
You smiled, without care or reason.
You stepped, and it was complete.
The robins were daintily cooling;
You see can still recall:
But mates of that spring-tide wooing
Forgot its vows in the fall
As we fling by a time-spent garment
Because of its well-worn thread,
So love in the June time fervent.
With leaves in the fall was shed.
But Often out of the dawn time,
And often into the night,
There floats the glimpse of gone-time.
Long buried from human sight.
The fated time when met you,
And caught the young seasons tune;
But ah do most regret you,
Or that June, that wonderful June?
