COMMENT AND OPINION.

Our farmers cannot do too much for the
announcement of factories. There is no
surer way to create a market for their
produce and enhance the value of their
land.-MinneapOlis Tribune.
THE strike is barbarous weapon, loaded

1T settles nothing which could not be better
adjusted IN some other way.-ChicagoNe News
CONGRESS cannot interfere with the reg
the discretion of any State Legislature, but

THE general government should see to it
promptly that both winter and summer
divorce resorts" be abolished, and the

THE impression prevails that General
Harrison will select some well-known
Southern Republican for his Cabinet, and
that he will attempt to build up the Repub-
hcan party in the South not by harsh treat
ment towards its people, but by the exer-
else of liberal and progressive pOlicy.-At-
lanta Constitution.
AS members of municipal organizations,
women have quite as much at stake on the
issues of local government as men, and are
equally able to Judge the character of can
dldates and local issues. They have right
to this privilege, and it is to be hoped that
this movement. already powerfully backed,
will be successfuL-New York Press.
GENERAL HARRISON will not insist that
the negroes must vote the Republican tick

trifie with his pledges and obligations; and
he is not the kind of man who eyades or
neglects his duty on any accOunt.-St. Louis
GlObe-DemOcrat.
If President Harrison deems it wise to

AMERICANS are steadily drifting away
from manual emplOyments which afford in

thus making a serious mistake. There are
more opportunities and there is more room
for growth afforded to bright anu expert
emplOyments to-day than are afforded in
any mercantile or professional field.-Mil-
waukee Wisconsin.
WHY should the poor wOrkingman in the
South. black though he is. yet given a soul

lection of himself, his home, and his wife
and childrens And why. it will be asked
of Republican administration, as it never
was asked before. may not all Republicans

THE Democratic party has yet to learn
the lesson that honesty is the best policy.
Ii is still trying to steal success by cheat
pretenses which are disloyal as we'll as
false. For it is in the highest degree hurt
full to free institutions to promote among
the ignorant belief that majority of the
voters of this Nation, a majority of more

benefit of the few.-New York Tribune.
