How many OF the men now tralel-
ing around Europe in tip-top style
at the expense of the Worlds Fair
appropriation are really alarming,
their expenses, to say nothing Of
fancy salrles they drawing. And
how much real benefit will the ex-
position derive from their very ex-
pensive travels?
How things change. One of the
blanks of the republican platform
upon which Lincoln was elected de-
mand the most rigid economy in
public expenditures, and now a
member of the Cabinet openly de
fends the extravagant appropriations
OF the billion dollar Congress. Veri-
lv it is time to demand another
change.
Mr.. Wanamaker isn't to-day half
as big man in the eyes of Mr.. Har-
rison as he was when he raised that
$500. 200 campaign fund. By the
way, it would be interesting 10
know how much Of the money of the
wrecked keystone national bank
went into that campaign fund. 1t
would also be interesting to know
J whether Examiner Drew, who has
been.aliowed to resign, is to be the
only Federal official punished for
this disgraceful affair.

I There is little doubt that there are
many republicans who are very
much averse to having to support
Harrison again; bat they are being
gradually whipped into line. and foi
lack OF stronger leader they may
stay IN line. But up to the very
hour that the nomination is made
lit will only take one word from
1 Blaine to knock Harrison's aspira-
| tions s, high that they will never
be again heard of. and we take il,
that II would be presumption on the
part OF fany man, othor than Blaine
himself TO say that that word will
or will not be spoken.
Senator Stewart, of Nevada. has
poured another broadside into Sena-
tor Sherman, whom be accuses Of
being the father OF the republican
financial policy. This is very
grave accusation, but the farmers OF
Ohio seem to have similar idea er
they would not have started out SC

torial scalp. If Mr.. Stewart keeps
up bis attacks upon Sherman and
