THE DEMOCRATIC GAME.
Boston Journall
The Democratic leaders have little serious
expectation OF etfecting any tariff legisa-
ton. The Mills bill is piece of patchwork,
cut and shaped in accord with recognized
political eXigencies, and designed rather TO
catch votes than to embody any well7dehned
principle. When it comes before the House,
the cutting and trimming process which was
continued in the proceedings of the commit
tee will be carried forward upon more ex-
tended scale, clause being inserted here or
stricken out there, whenever doubtful vote
can be thus won To frame any kind OF
bill that will pass the House is the real pur-
pose of the Democrats. They are posturlng
euvripg for position in the Presidential cam
paign Their chief desire is to put the Re-
publican party in the attitude of an obs true
ZIONIST, and to represent it as resisting every
proposition to revise the tariff or TO reduce
the revenue. So eager are they to use this
strategy that many Of the Democratic papers
are rather prematurely disclosing the plan
of campaign by accusing the Republicans Of
obstruction, even before the Mills bill has
emerged from the committee.

According to The Star, of London, Mr..

resemblance Of his illustrious father years

quoted, 1.-THE son does no discredit to his

the Vienna barons has q stable which cost
him $4,000. This stable has marble floors,
encaustic tiles painted by distinguished ar
fists, and its walls are frescoed with scenes
done by well-knOwn painters. The rim gs,
chains and fittings Of the stable are silver,
and one box stall for a fayorite horse cost, 1t
is said, $4,000.
The statue of Izaak Walton, which will

At this distance it may not be possible to
understand wholly the plans on which the
employees of the Chicago Burlington &c
Quincy are proceeding, but from all that is
happening they seem to fall very far short
of the standard of generalship that might be
expected. After the engineers have been
beaten, and it seems to be the universal cpin-
ion that they have been badly beaten, the
brakeman make their strike They in turn
will probably be beaten as the engineers
have been. fad both, on the other hand, made
their strike together the road might have
been brought to some terms. A course in the
art of war might be beneficial to the Western
railroad men. 1t would learn them to avoid
being divided and beaten in detail.

As Mr. Cleveland is likely to select a
Chief Justice as much to relieve his own po-
litical perplexities as for any other reasons,
the suggestion that Minister Phelps may be
chosen does not seem wholly trivial. Mr.
Phels's recall from England would relieve
the distress Of those Democrats who pretend
to think him toady to arstocracy, it would
leave at the disposal of the President first
class mission fit to reward the princeljesi
political worker, and would give to the
bench lawyer of more accomplishments
than Mr.. Cleveland is likely to select if he
attemps to fill the place directly from an i'm

The political situation in Rhode Island,
where there is gubernatorial election this
year. is complicated by the antics of the
Providence Journal, which, last year, 1t will
be remembered, went over completely to the
Democrats, and helped elect the present
Democratic Governor Davis. This year the
Journal has given its support to Mr.. Taft,
the Republican nominee for governor, and is
said to have promised support to the whole
ticket as well; but on the morning that the
ticket was printed at the head OF the edltori-
al columns, the Republicans of Rhode Island
were astounded to see two black lines drawn
through the name of Mr.. Lapham, the can
didate for lieutenant governor, and the man
who was mainly instrumental in carrying the
Western Congressional District for the Re-
publcans thereby placing Congressman Ar
mold in his seat. The Journal seems to have
half repented of this performance on the
next day, for if removed the scratched ticket,
though in no other way has it sgnified re-
gret for its attack on Mr.. Lapham. The
Providence correspondent of the Bos-
ton Advertiser sums up the sltua-
ton in which the Republicans
of Rhode Island are placed as follows:
Sup to 1887 the Republican party waged
successful war against the oprn enemy, but
during the spring of the year it was unable
to withstand the doings Of a secretfoe which
presented itself in the guise of newspaper
which had magnificent antecedents, but
which was then and is now conducted by
owners whose free trade principles Will not
permit them to give honest support to repub-
lean candidates however worthy they may
be. The Providence journal, which should
be permitted to stand as magnificent monu-
ment to the memory of IL. b. Anthony and
G. w. Danielson, recently stated In its edit
orial columns that it desired to continue a
Republican sheet, but it is now deserving the
ticket which was made by its connivance
and with its unqualified approval and to
which it promised to give its support" The
free trade leaniDgs of those who control the
paper have been conspicuously illustrated
recently by the support it has given the Mills
tariff bill

New York city wants more home rule and

The feeling is quite general among certain
classes below Harlem river that the Legisla-

tanning to affairs purely municipal. But all
over the country the guardianship of the
Legislatures over cities and towns is recog-
nized in practice. In can hardly be said
that New York's city governments have been
such as to inspire the belief that she is any
more fitted to go alone than other cities.
