orable campaign with live issues and every
assurance Of uccess.-Journal.
Mr.. Cleveland has done all that mortal
man could to conciliate the tiger, but the
tiger snaps and snarls. Not even for the
coaxings of the Journal will it purr.
There are few shrewd political observers
who are at this early day willing To stake
their regulations upon any prediction oil
the result of next year, but there is no pro
cess of figuring that can be made TO show
anything but that u Democratic victory Is
extremely obable.-Telegram.
These two statements do not seem
somehow to correspond. If shrewd
political observers are unwilling to pre-
dict the result, Democratic victory
should hardly be called in the same
breath extremely probable. In point OF
fact the Democratic party enters the
campaign divided, pulling in different
ways. The Republican party is united
and in honest money, protection and
reciprocity it has three vital issues worth
fighting for.
Secretary Foster asserts that the treas
ury will be able to complete the fiscal
year without deficit. He should know
Newport Observer.
He should know and without doubt
he does know. The country is getting
very weary of the false prophets who
weep crocodile tears and wall lying tales.
Prices are going down but wages do not
go down with them. This is one result
of protection and eciprocity.-New York
Recorder.
Could a more satisfactory result be
desired?
Mr. Flower says that 5000 covered his
electoral expenses. III that is true. and
if the Hon. Richard Croker had known ii
was going TO be true. Mr.. Flower would
never have been the Democratic nominee.
But, even now, Croker looks serene.
Probably the explanation is that Mr..
Flower gave 5000 TO elect himself and
$995,00 to elect the rest of the ticket
New York Tribune.
IL wasn't wise Of Mr.. Flower to put
his figures so low. If he had owned
say, to spending one tenth part OF what
he did spend the country might not
have gone speering about for the other
nine-tenths SO curiously.
Whatever betides in Brazil, the reci-
| procity treaty Is going to stand.-Boston
| Advertiser.
Whether it be true or not that British
merchants are at the bottom of this in.
surrectionary mischief, it is undoubtedly
| true that nothing would please them
better than to checkmate Secretary
Blaine. But they cannot do it. The
| power of re-imposing duties on sugar
and coffee hangs like threatening
sword over every Brazilian rulers head
and James Ct. Blaine has the shears to
| cut the thread that keeps the sword
from falling.
Commissioner Owens desire for more
effective laws regulating immigration is
commendable. Unfortunately, however,
| the Congress which meets next month has
| 40 Democratic maJority.-Boston Jour
| nal
The recent elections in New York ex.
plain the hostility Of the Democracy to
the restriction of immigration. The com
ing of intelligent foreigners is no evil,
but they are not the ones most valuable
to the Democratic party.
Rhode Island, having completed her
Typographical survey, has placed the map
| I'm all her public schools and Libraries, and
| il will soon be Oh sale also at slight ad
vance over the cost of printing. The large
| scale, mile To an inch, gives room enough
for large variety of Information, and the
| brown contour lines at twenty foot inter.
walls show the inequalities in the surface
| in sufficient detail. Such maps should be
widely disseminated. Students should
| have them to learn the vast range of in
formation that can be graphically depicted
on map. Publishers should use them tc
improve the quality of their own map
making. York Tribune.
Little Rhode Island isn't behind hel
| bigger sisters, and the present indica
tions are that they will be envying her
several new gowns if the present i'm
provements go on.
81 believe in Grover Cleveland and
should like to see the Democrats nominate
some other candidate, so that Cleveland
might be set free. e."-Mugwump Circula ar
The Massachusetts mugwumps speak
almost as kindly of Mr.. Cleveland as
prominent Democratic journals do.
"Cleveland and Democracy are two dis
| tinct things The tendency of the first is
| in the right direction; that of the second
was shown in the kind of support given &c
! Cleveland's administration. The best
! thing Cleveland has done he has done as
| Mr.. Cleveland; the worst things that
! he has done he has done as the handi
| capped leader of the Democratic party"
The Means Platform.
Mr.. Cleveland isn't the only man who
has succumbed TO the power of the Demo
cratic tiger when the animal became
hungry. When it can't get what il
wants from its vic tins it eats them, but
some of them run into its jaws volun
tarily.
The exclamation" idea according il
which the next Democratic candidate fol
| President was to be nominated "by &C
| clamation," has lost its leader. The st
LoutS Republican now declares that ther,
"will be no nomination in 1892 by accla
nation" A little preliminary thought
| will be applied beforehand TO tha,
momentous duty. The signs of returning
health to the Democratic party are moi
| only encouraging but numerous.-New
| York Sun.
