Chicago shows that party victory last
year does not lhean party success this
year or next year. In their enthusiasm

friends. the democrats. Immediately
commenced to act as though a democrat
ic president were already secured for 80,
bers of that party who had been sudden
ly shut off from the public swill. went
about selecting their places under the,
as they thought. surely-coming demo-
cratic administration. Senator German
was one democratic leader who took
the trouble to analyZe the November
vote. He didn't see where they could
count on any landslide for the future.

with GOODNESS that chilled the blood
of the rank and file. he intimated that
his party was long way from out of the

In New York State the Cleveland and
Hill factions met socially and pretended
to be on friendly terms, but person of

Harrison, with his political Malta, will do
great damage to the very thirsty and
hungry democrats of the Windy City.
Jerry Simpson, over whose election
our democratic friends rejoiced so fer
vently in recent interview. declared
that the Alliance candidate for president
would carry seven southern states, knock
ing the solid south higher than Guide
roy's kite.
In view of recent events it might be
well for the democratic gentlemen en-
gagged in picking out their places under
the next democratic administration to
put their enthusiasm in cold-storage
warehouse and stop counting chickens
that came out of the political Incubator
in 1890.
Some days ago the Postmaster General
sent an invitation to the ministers of
the South American governments TO
meet him and submit their views as to
what might be done under the provisions
of the new postal subsidy act. to promote
communication between the United
States and these countries. Quite num-
Der have already replied, accepting the
but in some instances dis
claiming power to act in the absence of
direct authority from their respective
governments.

Stealey's interview in the Cincinnati En-

firmly retired MIR. Cleveland from the |
race in 90, the big fellow bowed his head

The Attorney General received letter
from Judge Bugbee, judge of the district
court of Alaska, acknowledging service

Secretary Foster has sustained the ac-
ton of the superintendent of the mint at
in refusing to accept for
coinage the silver brick presented by
Messrs. Merrick and Morse for the pur-
pose of testing the legality of the Treas
lry silver policy. In this he follows the
precedent established by Secretary Win

The New Orleans people are working
cautiously and shrewdly in the Malta
matter. Instead of investigating the i'm
mediate facts of the recent massacre of
he eleven members of the Malta, the
grand jury is looking into the bribery of
