Swift Is the Descent Which Leads to
-Cleveland Democracy.


The Boston Journal thus pays its re-
spects to the kind of politics that is in
vogue these days nnder the shadow of
Harvard University. 1t is true, there is
good deal Their OF an opposite type, but
the Journal zpeaks of official and domi-
nant Harvard, in the years of its political
decadence. The Boston editor says:
If somebody four years ago had told Col.
Charles h. Goldman that in 1888 he would
preside at meeting in this city in the inter-
ests of Mr.. Cleveland where about as much
attention was given to kamschatka as to the
subject of civil service reform, he would
have dismissed the prophecy as preposterous.
Yet that is precisely what has happened If
the speakers at fremont Temple last night
had been Democratic Congressman or mem.
bers of the Boston Common Council from
Ward S, they could not have treated the re-
form with more supreme contempt From
Colonel Goldman and DR.. Everett down to
the young undergraduate who acclaimed the
speech which Professor Taussig wrote for
him, all the orators of the evening appeared
to think that their new affiliations with the
Democracy forbade any noticeable mention
of the topic. And they were right. The
civil service under the Cleveland Admins
tration has become the same tender subject
for the modern Democracy that the 'pecul-
lar institution" used to be to the Democracy
of ante bellum days.
Republicans will be glad to see that sew
eral of last evenings orators came out fairly
and squarely for free trade. Just now the
regular old-line Democrats are busy pro.
claiming themselves ardent protectionists
and the frank free trade avowal of their
young Harvard recruits is calculated to pro-
duce here in Massachusettsthe same kind of
harmony" which reigns so conspicuously in
the Democratic party in New York.

Third Party Dewaroeuss.

Here is a fragrant sample of the caln-
paign literature Of the Third Party, which
plumes itself upon having monopoly of
all the principles, purity and piety in
American politics. Bishop Newman, of
the Methodist church. recently declared
that he would vote fer Harrison and Nor
ton, and added: II vote as l pray, and
pray as vote.r Referring to this. an adj
vocate of Prohibition, who edits one of
the organs of the Third Party, emitted the
following sweet-scented screed in his
journal, 1.-THE Wisconsin Prohibitionist ::
The following 10 from the advance sheets
of the Bishops book of common prayer:
'sOh, Lord ThOw knowest that have had
about as much attention from the Republican
party as it is the good lot of any Methodist
minister to receive; and Thou knowest also
that no man who has enjoyed these privi-
leges can leave the party without being
called a sorehead, traitor and 3 sniveling
hypocrite; and yet il does look tough, for a
man Of my standing TO vote the same ticket
with tens of thousands of saloon thugs and
bloody brewers and distillers. Ii does look
hard, as before remarked, to see q Metho-
dist Bishop voting with such low down and
vicious plug-uglies, thugs and guuer-snipes,
to continue traftic that pulls more men
down to hell in one day than | ever converted
in all my life. And yet, oh. Lord. Thou
knowest the fx / am in. Help me to make
the people to truly see that both l and Sheri-
dan Shook, and Benjamin Harrison, and
Peter Her, and Captain Pabst, and Buffalo
Miller, and Bloody Corner Cox, and Schlitz,
and Val Blatz, and Boss Quay, and tens of
Thousands of other whiskey men, and several
other good people, do heartily sympathize
with all wise ard well-directed efforts for
the promotion of temperance and morality !;
and to Harrison and the Republican party be
all the glory, forever. Amen"
There are some sincere and pure-lninded
Christian people who have been misled
into joining the ranks of the Third Party
Prohibitionists. We know they do not
approve such blasphemous and vulgar
talk. The effect of it on all sincere and
and sensible friends of Temperance is that
of disgust.

Good Indications in The Empire State

The signs in New York are still strongly
favorable to the Republicans. The des-
perate efforts of the Democratic leaders
to stem the rising tide against both Cleve-
land and Hill appear to be without avail.
The war of the Democratic factions in
the city may or may not seriously dam
not in any contingency strengthen its
chances. The probabilities are that it
will damage the vote for both Democratic
electoral and State tickets. In any event
the united Republican party with the aid
of thousands of Protectionist Democrats
are masters of the situation.

The Allen Caee.

The particulars of the death Of
young Allen are about as follows: He
and his father had been after a load OF
hay, and were within FIVE rods Of the
house when the storm struck them.
The horses got off theroad and brought
up alongside a drift. MIR. Allen and
the boy, VINO were both lightly clad,
went TO work to shovel out Il place Of
shelter in the side of the bank, but as
soon as they had it finished thehorses
backed into it. They then dug out
another place and began walking back
and forth to keep warm. The boy,
who was about thirteen years OF age,
kept UP pretty we'll until toward mid
night, when he began to show signs of
fatigue, although not suffering from
the cold. His father kept him moving,
however, until about 5 o'clock in the
morning, when he picked the little
fellow up and started for the house.
Then it was that the boy became
chilled and died before reaching home,
from exhaustion and exposure.
Mr.. Allen was not badly frozen, and
is able to be at work as usual, his
hands being more or less affected. The
boys funeral occurred Monday, Rev
5. j. Vinegar conducting the services
at the house, and the remains were
buried ON the farm.
