We wish the g. o. p. would revise its
yarns about Jerry Simpson. One crowd
calls him a lazy, box-whittler, while
another crowd swears he is a sharp,
energetic trader. Sometimes the politl-
cal liar Will contradict himself, and
often their lies are located at some
place where Jerry has never been. One
crowd calls him povelty-stricken loaf
er, while another says he owns section
of land, worth S25,6OO. One says be
mortgaged his farm, and abandoned it;
another says he this year raised 900
acres of wheat. There ought to be a
state convention of Simpson liars, where
they could agree on line of lying.

Many sagacious republican politicians
say that Mr.. Blaine is piaTiDg deep
game; that he is keeping quiet I'LL al
ter the pending elections, and should
they go republican he will suddenly re-
cover his health and claim a victory for
reciprocity. But should these elections
go democratic he will accept it as an
augury that the election of republican
president in 1892 Will be impossible and
then his health will be too feeble to al
low him to become candidate for the
presidential nomination.

News from Russia confirms all the
distressing reports heretofore made.
The probability is that the half has not
been told. Advices from various points
in Russia state that great masses of
peasants are fiockin9 into the towns
from the country districts, perishing
from want of food. At least $780, 900
have passed through Tuinien alone
seeking food. Many are falling by the
roadsides and dying In their tracks.
The wanderers have no fuel, and the
cold is intense. Incendlarism and pill
laying are spreading. The destitute
Jews expelled from KieV, Astrachan,
Moscow and Odessa are swelling the
ranks of the famished thousands. The
local authorities everywhere are para
lyZed for the want of funds and the or
yaniZation of relief committees for the
distribution of corn to the sufferers has
been suspended,

Mr.. Plumb said in speech not long
ago: "The treasury department is in
active partnership with the national
banks" He also said: "That influ-
ence which has controlled the financial
policy of the country for the last thirty
years, and controls it yet, the control
of bOndholders and money lenders, has
resolved that nothing shall be done
which shall operate to make the burden
of the people lighter by increasing the
volume of the currency. or even by pre-
venting further contraction" That IS
good doctrine, but Plumb is not preach
ing it now. WHAT came oyer the spirit
of his dreamsP Has someone seen 'him,
or has the party whip brought him into
submission. The Cresset published
the above extracts last year. 1t won't
do so now. Why2 Because its party
is opposed to giving relief to the people.

That willy politician, Sir John Macdonald,
Canadian premier. is making a feint in the
direction of reciprocity for election purposes.
Sir John has not been heretofore favorable to
this republic in public policy and his present
attitude seems to have been inspired altogether
by his fears of not securing enough votes to
make his party solid in the parliamentary cleo
tons soon to come of. Still the strong trend
of sentiment IN the Dominion in favor of reci-
procity may max, him and his party do some
thing more than deal in empty promises. We
shall see what we shall see when the commits
sion comes after the Canadian elections are
over. III the conservatives are successful in
the ballotins it is not probable that any pro-
posals will come from the commission that this
government can accept.

The Gillian revolution began, il is said, with
assassination and small riots. The president
against whose conservative tendencies the re-
vol. seems TO be aimed. took office in 1856 as a
progressive. strange TO say. 1t Is charged that
his principles have succumbed TO his love of
power and personal vanity. The rebellion. at
first successful. has latteriy lost ground. the
rebels losing control of some important towns
which they had occupied. The harbOr of Iqui-
que has been reopened. The government seems
confident of holding all it has and retaking the
places now occupied by the revolutionis.s. The
latter have secured some advantage by aid of a
portion of the navy. which declared for them
early in the war. Chill has usually been re-
garded abroad as the most nationally progress
sive of the Spanish American republics. The
impression exists that the present revolution is
kick against oligarchy by the democratic masses
who have become discontinued with class rule

way for legislative reforms that are demanded.
