is pushing Rhode Island into the Demo
cratic line. IL is the Indifferent voter"
who has become Indifferent through dis
gust at men and methods. and who on the
morning of election day says; We'll,
there is no choice between them," and
pursues his personal vocation during the
day and remains away from the polls
Rhode Island Pendulum.
And nhow has the Indifferent voter
been led to believe there was no choice
between candidates? The Journal has
sneered lazily and the Telegram has
spread untruths energetically and the
two have left broad field for the NEWS
to cultivate in instilling few sound
political and economic truths into the
minds of young voters.
1t looks like Blaine.-New Bedford Jour
nel.
And Blaine looks very much like vic
tory, doesn't he?
Chicago must be dandy" city
for the Worlds Fair when it is so poorly
policed that gang Of robbers can rob a
United States mail wagon on the way to
the post Office and not be molested. Who
wants to visit a city like that Paw
tuxet Valley Cleaner.
Chicago is a city of which every Amer
ican ought to feel proud. 1t is the type
and foremost representative of mag
nifcent group of western towns which
illustrate the growth and prosperity OK
the country. Chicago, Kansas City,
Grand Rapids, Minneapolis, st. Paul,
San Francisco, Denver-what an answer
these to the Revolutionary predictions
that the Alleghanies would be our west
ern boundary of settlement.
Oh, yes, the robbery. Well, accidents
will happen. But Chicago is all right,
and much nearer the typical American
city than New York or Boston.
The trolley system serves an excellent
purpose in cities where the traffic is not
sufficient,to support better type of street
railroad and where the poles and wires
are not specially Objectionable. 1t is not
at all fit for a great city where the traffic
is so heavy as to leave no excuse for the
use Of any but the best methods.-New
York Worid.-Quoted bv the Telegram.
Well, how about Boston? and will the
World or Telegram invent a practical
storage battery system right away;
quick; SchneHp In the meantime let's
use the best we have till better is
found.
She Republican party and James G..
Blaine are now synonymous terms. The
only question is what does the latter pro-
pose to do with the former.-Bulletin;
also Journal.
She latter doesn't propose, unasked,
to do anything with the former" but the
former proposes TO elect the latter Presi-
dent of this glorious country: and the
Bulletin knows il: and that is why il is
so unhappy and the bright Christmas
sky is overcast TO its tear-dimmed eve
sight and Christmas green's a sickly gray.
Free traders contend that the condition
OF American protected labor is really no
better than that of English labor under
free trade. II so, why do British work
men flock to America New York Re
corder.
And why do they write enthusiastic
letters home? And why do their cousins
and brothers come overl And why -?
Oh. no matter. The free traders pre-
judices are like the leopard's spots.
Neither Congress nor the people can af-
ford to disregard Mrs. Grants wish re
garding the remains OF her husband. Let
them rest where they are and give New
York time. Senator Plumb's resolution
should bc withdrawn. - Chicago Inter
Ocean.
Nor should New York be subjected TO
leers and gibes N It's people utterly re-
fuse To provide the money for a splendid
monument in the end Grants memory
doesn't need useless ostentation Of
granite. Betetr school than monu-
ment of more than modest cost, any
time.
Mr.. Bryan won his position I'm the
House by converting Republicans to the
tariff doctrine of the Democratic party
Chicago Herald.
Chicago is the typical American city,
and this is something more than typical
American cheek.
A characteristic trait Of the Irish people
