The Boston Democracy builded far better

The Boston Democracy builded far better
than they knew when the city committee
sent the contests back to the ward caucussas
fsr settlement. The secondary caucusses re-
suited in the retirement to private life of
such tried and true patriots as Hon. John E.
FITZGERALD, Hon. M. M. Cunniff and Col
Lawrence l. Logan. 1t looks very much as
if in retiring these veteran campaign mana
gers the Democrats were making Gov.
Brackets reelection sure in advance.

1t may be that neither the Republicans
nor the Democrats will control the next
House Of Representatives. The Democrats
have felt sure Of it for some time. By the
Ohio gerrymander they have probably taken
seven seats from the Republicans, and by
gerrymanders in Maryland and Kentucky
they have taken two more. The loss of nine
seats means difference of eighteen votes,
and eighteen votes is the size of the present
Republican majority in the House. So, un.
der normal conditions the Democrats might
reasonably feel sure Of getting the next
House. But circumstances are hardly nor
NAL. The Farmers Alliance is making
heavy inroads upon regular Democratic
strength in the South. There probably will
be twenty or thirty Alliance members in the
next Congress- In some of the Southern
States they have made almost complete rev.
Olutions. Georgia has in the House eight
very able men, men VINO have been orna-
mentS to their State and party. But six of
the eight have been defeated for renomina-
ton by the Alliance. What the Affiliations
of the Alliance men will be when they get
into Congress IL is impossible to tell. They
have captured the Democratic organizations !;
but they never will take the places of the
straight-out Democrats whom they succeed.
With twenty or thirty Alliance men in the
next Congress the hopes of the Democratic
party that it has gerrymandered itself into
its old time control may not be wholly full

The London Saturday Review has con-
structed new word after plans and specifi-
cations of its own that deserves perma-
nent place in the language. Speaking of
Lord Roseherry the Review says: "There
is more of masculine common sense in him
than in any one of his colleagues in the Glad
stonian lieutenancy, with no share Of the
cattishness that affects most of the distin-
guished persons with whom he is associated
politically" "Cattishness" is very good.
1t can be used to express slight degree of
trickery and conduct bordering on the I'M
fair by persons who hesitate TO use the old
fashioned expression. Without doubt we
shall soon see something in some of the
Democratic papers about the cattishness of
hon. j. p. Bass in overlapping the result Of
the Democratic State convention in June.

Col. Ell. V. Boynton, the Washington cor
respondent Of the Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette, himself a veteran and thoroughly
acquainted with the subject advises old SOL
diers who are after pensions under the new
law, to get them themselves. Col. Boynton
writes: "1he dependent pension act permits
pension agents to charge fee of ten dollars
for executing papers ana obtaining pension
under its provisions for each applicant.
There is no necessity whatever for the SER
vices of pension agent in the matter. The
fee allowed is nearly equal to one months
pension. All that is necessary to be done by
applicants under the dependent act is to ap-
ply to the pension Office here for the neces-
sary blanks, which will be promptly fur
nished, and these can easily be filed out by
the applicant or some friend who will not de-
mand one months pension for the trifipg
service. 1t would be good thing If the va
rious Grand Army Posts would obtain a
supply of these blanks and furnish those
who might apply for them. This would be
valuable service to the soldiers and the
widows of soldiers who are entitled to pen
sions under the act 1t would draw the fire
Of the pension attorneys, but would save ten
dollars to many poor and deserving persons.
Commissioner Raum will cheerfully furnish
the required blanks to Grand Army Posts
upon the application of the proper officers"
