The Tribune has. of course, made an
exhibition of itself over the returns, as
usual, and has gone into the business
against which Mr.. Greeley used to warn
his young associate, that, namely, of pre-
diction. The Tribune says of the Maine
fasco: Never was there a more certain
harbinger of victory all along the line in
November" The Post republishes this
cheerful announcement, but places beside
it The Tribunc's editorial on the same
subject in 1884 The two predictions
have comical look in parallel columns:

senator Palmer of Michigan, whose
declaration that the Republican party is
destined to destroy the saloon has been so
widely remarked, says that these words of
his were not a prophecy, but an observa-
ton. He calls the local option law in his
own State IA grand step ahead, and the
best possible provision for the present.
He adds that he is a Republican, first, last
and always, and does not expect to be de-
MED fellowship in Michigan because he is
an anti-saoon Republican. Though there
are in that State some of the most active
and malignant representatives of the party
of st. John. men who seem to care little
for Temperance, but everything for their
faction. yet they have not been able to
prevent the great majority of the Repub
lcans from doing their duty to the cause
of Temperance. The Republicans in the
Legislature submitted prohibitory CON
amendment to the people, which
came near being adopted at the polls.
Failing in this they passed the local option
law, which allows counties to adopt pro-
and which many have already
accepted by decisive votes. Well may
Senator Palmer say he is an anti-saloon
Republican.

The generalization of the Democrats
on the tariff question is indicated by the
reports that the Ways and Means Com
mittee is more likely to report the bill
which Mr.. Randall is framing than one
drawn upon the lines laid down in the
Presidents message. Yet it is only few
weeks since the Democrats were talking
loudly of reading Mr.. Randall! out of the
party and degrading him in the committee
assignments. 1t is highly probable that
Cleveland and the party majority which
is emphatically with him in his Free Trade
policy, will be forced to some form of
breakdown and sur en- Ter. sufficiently to
give Randall personal victory, but not
enough to cheat the country. The Mug
wumps fast hold of Cleveland's coat-tail
pulling one way, and Randall and his
stubborn dozen pulling in precisely the
opposite direction, is an interesting
spectacle sure to result in Republican
victory.

Z. L. White, formerly the Washington
correspondent of the n. Y. Tribune. now
in like capacity serving the Philadelphia
Press, writes:
The Democrats in Congress and the Demo-
cratic editors in the country are frightened at
the manner in which the Presidents message
has been received, and like those who, in
Patrick Henry's time, cried peace, peace"
when there was no peace they were crying
compromise, compromise" when there is
no more prospect of compromise
than there was year ago-wheu, in fact,
the Democratic party had been more I'M
equivocally committed by the President to
Free Trade, pure an simple, than ii has
been before for years. And the talk about
the President retreating from the position
assumed in his message is as absurd as all
the rest of it. There isn't the first scintlla
of evidence that he has told anybody so or
limited it, or thought of it even. There is
great deal more probability in the report
that he is annoyed because the House Com
mittees were not appointed before the holiday
recess. SO that the proposed Tariff legislation
might be brought before the House at the
earliest possible moment. One thing only is
certain, and that is that there will be lively
fight over the tariff question. What the out
come of it will be no man can foretell
