The Cincinnati Times-Star prints this
strong paragraph:
1t is enough to make q bronze ram sick
in all five of his stomachs to hear the Ohio
democracy resolving that ''we favor the
payment of liberal pensions to Union sol
diers and sailors and a tender care for their
widows and orphans" and In the same
breath, 1--WE indorse without qualification
the administration of President Cleveland, u
who hasn't done anything of consequnce
but veto pension bills and insult the Union
soldiers since his Inauguration. Luckily,
veterans will have to listen TO this sort OF
hogwash only few months longer.

The St. Louis Catholic World speaks as
follows Of Gladstone's North American
RcuicU criticism of Ingersoll:
Ingersoll in the hands of Gladstone is q
pigmy in the grasp Of giant. The states
man shows that IngersolPs argument against
Christianity 10 nothing more than tissue of
shiny assumptions, founded upon belief
Ia his own infallibility. The main merit of
the great statesmans neper is to lift the
controversy out of the 10 grounds Of par
ticular and often misl, adt1g details, which
have served Ingersoll y ith so much ambig-
uous ammunition, into the highlands of
principle and reason. lngersoll can no
more live In this keen atmosphere than o
water-snake in the brilliant and arid skies
of mountain peaks. He may wriggle and
hide in the murky fens of his native swamps
amidst the rank growth of decay, where
bush and log and scummy pool serve as hid
ing places, but here in the full light of rea-
son. where no subterfuge may serve as
shelter for his deformity. he is scotched and
killed.
