The red flag displayed at a meeting
of Chicago anarchists on Sunday, and
the busts of Spies and Lipgg which
decorated the stage, were eloquent
testimonials of the most liberal govern

He speaks not in anger, but in sor-
row of the rude behavior of Secretary
Blaine, and the whole communication
is suffused with pathos that recalls
the plant of the injured lover:
Perhaps it was right to dissemble your love-
But why did you kick me down stairs2

If it costs foreigners nothing ''for the

defeat the tariff as to be willing to spend
their millions? If the people of the

If the democrats in the lower branch
of the next congress have the courage
of their convictions on the burning is
sue of the hour they will demonstrate
it by electing Roger Quarles Mills of
Texas as speaker. Mr.. Mills, in a
speech at Minneapolis:
81 believe in free trade"
The democratic party is committed to
free trade, and unless it wishes to sneak
out OF its un-American position, Mills
is its man for speaker. He, of all the
Democratic leaders, is honest in ex-
pressing own and his partY's purposes.

The flood OF letters and speeches
which ex-President Cleveland has in
ficted upon the country has drawn
down upon him a good deal of well
merited criticism, which the demo-
cratic press has made but q feeble
effort to meet. One would naturally
expect that his greatest admirers, the
mugwumps, would enter some plea in
his behalf, but here is the Boston
Herald remarking: 1--WE still think
that ex-President Cleveland talks and
writes too much for a candidate for the
presidency" Rather significant isn't
it?-Kansas City Journal.
One reason, no doubt, for the south
ern welcome of President Harrison is
the fact that the former confederate
soldiers recognize and respect him as
one who fought bravely and manfully
for the Union. In their hearts they
must despise the ex-copperheads and
id genus omne, that lay low and hiss
cautiously while the struggle was in
progress, and now appeal for support
and alliance to the men they dared
neither to aid nor to fight. 1t is the
more regrettable, therefore, to see in
certain newspapers mean and petty
attempt TO embitter the south against
the president by referring to the act
that he did not vote, five years ago, to
repeal the law excluding ex-confeder-
ates from official place in the army and
navy.-New York Press.
The Brooklyn Eagle, which is sturd-
lily democratic, but democratical indie
pendent, denounces the Michigan elect
oral vote theft in the following terms:
The bill providing for the choice of
presidential electors by congressional
district in Michigan has passed both
houses of the legislature. While the
change is in harmony with the cOnstl-
tutional provision investing states with
the right to prescribe methods for
choosing electors, it is, nevertheless,
an aggressive employment Of the art of
The better course for
every party is to rely on intelligent ap-
peal to public sentiment rather than
resort to questionable expendients OF
this description.
The Eagle is wise in its generation
and realizes that such thefts react on
the party committing them.-Globe-
Democrat.
We have called attention to the strik-
ing contrast between the sneering COM
ments of northern democratic and mug
wump newspapers on the presidents
trip with the frank and generous words
Of southern editors. This, for example,
is from the Copperhead Evansville 1nd)
Courier:
Harrison was lucky enough to find
church yesterday-at least, that is what
the telegraph reports. His luck on this
tour in every way has been as pheno-
nenal as it has always been. ''Give a
nan plenty of luck and little brains
will do him"
