Extra No. 90, Engand's only choice: Cleveland
the man she wants, because he stands for free
traden For q few hours there was little show for
street sale Of anything else, and the boys reaped
a great harvest The sale yesterday amounted to
90 900 copies, and when this paragraph is writ
ten the thing is still going by the thousand.
Those who keep the weather statistics assert

To Colonel Lamont: There is q good deal of
inquiry in regard to the Presidents letter of ac-
ccptance. Won't you be kind enough to step over
TO the Dead Letter Office and IL it isn't there
You know that the President in his eagerness to let
the committee know for sure that he accepted, may
have misdrected his letter or may have forgotten
TO put a stamp on it. Or even if the letter was
properly directed and stamped, it may have gone
astray all the same You are doubtless aware that
the postal service Of these United States hasn't
been rst-ratc since your party friends took hold at
Washington. II yol find the letter at the Dead
Letter Office it might he well not to trust it again
to the mails but to send it to its destination by ex-
press, or a district messenger boy, or carrier
pigeon, pneumatic tube.
Governor Hills desperate attempt to brace up
his political fortunes by means of extra session
of the Legislature is not panning out we'll lie
will have to fall back on the county fairs.
Now, mere lying is not going to win in this
campaign So says The Albany Argus" Yet
in the same breath this fine old Democratic organ
talks about the breach between General llarrl-
son and the wor1ngmen of America, caused by

we are amazed that The Argus should commit
itself to such statements in regard to Harrison.
The Local Government bill has passed the COM
mittce stage of the British Commons, and will be-
come law after a perfunctory debate IN inc
House of Lords. This is one Of the largest and
most complex measures ever presented to Parlia-
mcnt effecting radical changes in the conditions OF
local government in London and the counties 1t
has met with little resistance, the Liberals gladly
cooperating with the Ministers in facilitating its
passage The Opposition benches have recognized
in it a reform measure which they could heartily
approve, and have not sought to deprive the Gov
of practical legislation like this it is positive gain
for England to have q Conservative Ministry in
Office When Lord Sasbury's Government intro
duces n measure of which there is pressing need,
the Liberal Opposition make no effort TO obstruct
il. If the same measure had been brought forward
by a Liberal Ministry, q Tory Opposition would
have fought 1t day after day and the Lords in
their turn would have either impaired its efficiency
by amendments or else have rejected it altogether
The Lords in this instance will simply register the
decision of tho Tory Commons.

speech on the Fisheries Treaty there was appar
entity nothing moro to be said on the Republican
side lie had deliberately examined every phase of
the question, and By his destructive criticism had
closed the case against q British administration Of
the State Department 1t was reserved for Senator
Chandler to prove that the subject had not been
exhausted His speech was one of marked orig
nalty, research and vigor The unhappy Demo-
cratic Senators are making no Roadway against
these powerful assaults upon the treaty They
are defending the Administration in labored and
perfnnctory manner that shows that their
hearts are not in their business
So one Of the Tammany Hall ward associations
has been adopting resolution protesting against
free whislcy That's the most juicy joke of the
campaign up to date 1t is as If Izaak Walton
had come out against the recreation Of angling,
if Napoleon had taken grounds against war, as If
Boston had boycotted the baked bean.
Still another robbery has been committed on
q bob-tai car. This time the victim was
woman, and the thief struck her and overpowered
her by physical force. LawleSs characters
evidently taking the hint, and finding out that the
bob-tail ear is IA good field for their industry. IL
the managers Of these lines are wise, they will
promptly accept the inevitable, and announce that
