Political POints.
The truth is that England is getting
tired of the Tories. The prejudice
against Irish home rule is rapidly melt
ing away in the sunshine of reason, and
the British love of fair play and justice
is regaining its normal ascen-
dency.-[Brooklyn Standard Union,
(Rep.)
In spite of several forms OF monopoly
fixing themselves on our land in the
shape of cattle kings, railroad grants and
absentee landlordism, we are compare
lively free from the feudality, primo.
genitive succession, ,and other aristocratic
and exclusive privileges of other coun.
tries.-T Memphis Appeal

Louisiana has a Republican form of gov
ernment The same Bill Chandler who
was conspicuous in promoting the fraud
by which Hayes was made President in
1877 For cool audacity this beats the
record.-[Atlanta Journal, Dem.)
There are no imminent commercial
perils to alarm the patriot on the
threshold of this Presidential canvass.
Not only has the experiment of the
Democratic Administration failed to
justify the pessimism of Republican
orators and organs, but il has probably
extended and stimulated our industries
both "infant" and adult. -[Brooklyn
Eagle, Oem.)
We want no more mud singing in
Ameri,an politics. There is an issue
vital enough now before the country
upon which men can honestly differ,
and upon which all can vote their honest
convictions. Let US have noble, up
right, straightforward candidates, and
forever drown in the waters of Lethe
the ignoble and scandalous memories OF
1SS4.-[Chicago Herald.
But why not take off the duty from
sugar ?-Recoid. Because the sugar
trade is a monopoly controlled by a
gigantic trust" Because free trade in
sugar would put about $50 0,000, 900 addi.
tional profits into the Golfers of the sugar
trust without relieving the people at all
Let's reduce the taxes first where legit-
innate competition will give the people
and not the trusts the benefit of the re:
duction.-[Boston Globe, (Dem.)
The Republican policy is one thing in
the East and a very different thing in the
West. The theory of the Republicans in
this region seems to be that any man
who lays his hand on the war tariff save
to increase the burdens which it imposes
on the people, is a traitor to the State
who is seeking to reduce workingmen's Is
wages. The Republican theory out West
is that the Mills bill should be opposed
because it does not go far enough
| Buffalo Courier, (Dem.)
Some political economists get periodi-
cally alarmed concerning the over
population of the world, but their fears
are not we'll founded. Agencies are
always at work to preserve the equili-
brium, and there are many places
not yet decently settled. Besides, as
in China, wars, earthquakes, mum
dations, famines and other catastrophes
prevent too much jostling. At any rate
the present generation will not want for
elbow-room, and coming generations can

American. (Rep.)
The country is tired of Fairchild's
palsies and Foraker's Chinese gong.
Sectional hatred has elected its last
President, and don't you forget it. The
country has it's eye on the future, and the
man, whether he be Republican or q
Democrat, who can tell us how to make
a bigger market for our products, and
how to settle the relations between capi.
tai and labor-that is the only man who
has any political prospects. As for your
bloody shirt rhetoric, it is all bosh.-
New York Herald, Qnd.)
We do not believe that there are no
good Republicans but dead Republicans,
as rural statesman recently remarked
but we have noticed that a very large
proportion of good Northern Republic
ans who come South to live abandon
their party and become true and loyal
Southern Democrats. They see that
Republican domination here means cor
ruption and ruin to the best interests of
the State and people, and it does not take
them long to become a part of the Solid
South.-[Jacksonville Herald, (Dem.)
There is no chance whatever that the
Republicans can carry any Southern
State. They are in no better condition
there than they were four years ago. In
New York four years ago the Democrats
were discordant, and in the great Demo-
cratic strongholds there was lukewarm-

complete harmony, and Thurman in par
ticular is the idol of the New York
Democracy. Against the majority that
will be rolled up for the ticket on which
his name appears in New York City and
Brooklyn, what chance will the Repub-
licans have?-[Cleveland Plaindealer,
Dem)
1t is easy to quit wage-earning posi-
ton: it is not always easy to secure an
other. There is nothing to prevent a
man from choosing his own course in
such matters, but it would be well for all
persons to understand that the risk is
usually disastrous. Nearly every strike
of the year has been failure, because il
was not founded en-, justice or common
sense, and, therefore, had no backing or
countenance of public opinion. The les
son taught many worthy but misguided
men, though severe, may prove salutary.
