RE. Pattison, Governor OF Pennsyl-
vania. Is an Indecent Democratic oema-
gogue.-Albany Express.
Stop it, Pattison has quit being q
'demagogue for the present.
The Carnegie workmen arc not "strik-
ers" In the accepted meaning OF the term
They did not strike for increased wages
They refused To agree to an "all-round |"
reduction OF their pay, averaging no Per
cent Thereupon the yates OF the mills
were locked against them and they were
turned adrift by the Company. .-Paw-
tucket Tribune.
Which Is it, ignorance or falsehood J
The proposed reduction of pay affected
about 335 men of q, 800, not all round. '
1t would have been very slight. The
workmen We're willing to accept thenew
wage scale ii their union had been recog-
nized. They would not accept ~ l-2
per cent. reduction, or anything like IT,
When there is a disposition to find fault
with the weather we are now experinc-
ing, consolation can be found in the re-
fection that IL Is seasonable. Unseason-
able weather, rs everyone knows, Is un-
healthy -Woonsocket Reporter.
No. In midsummer, in this latitude,
seasonable weather kills people, unsea-
sonable weather is much more tolerable.
Our summers are normally too hot. An
abnormally cool one saves many lives.
One hundred and twenty-six children
were killed by the heat yesterday in New
York. Yet the weather was seasonal

What a splendid chairman Of the Demo
cratic National Committee David B HUI
would make. He is u Democrat. Dos
ton Traveller.
The suggestion is not seriously meant,
but it is good one, nevertheless. Hill
would make the best chairman possi-
BILE, and il he took the Office would do
his level best. But would he take 1t?
Even the Democratic newspapers admit
there are twenty eight tinplats factories
In the country, and that the industry is
growing daily. 1, this Is 30. why shoul
Democratic Congress pass bill calcu-
lated and intended TO close those facto-
riesr-Boston News.
Oh, so that the workmen In the tin
plate factories will vote the Democratic
ticket out of gratitude, perhaps.
The Daily Cleaner Is not ready to be-
lieve that Pawtuxet Is soon 10 become "a
city. We extend our congratulations. As
RHODE ISLAND cities now fignre in the po-
litical world there In no especial call Tor
their increase In numbers We should
say Pawtuxet should stick I'd the town
government until greatness Is thrust
upon it.--Newport News.
Isn't there here a geographical confu-
siony Pawtuxet Is the name of vii
lage partly in Warwick and partly In
Cranston Mt the mouth of the river. The
proposed new city lies farther up aud il
il became city it might be luckier than
Newport is this year.
With so conspicuous an object lesson
before the country Of the liability OF high
protection 10 keep up the wages OF eni-
make everybody happy and prosperous,
il would seem to be y not unfavorable
moment to push forward Congressman
Andrews bill removing the duties on iron
ore AID reducing those on crude iron and
many varieties OF the man ufactur.d pro
duct.-Journai.
The Journal has repeatedly denounced
the Democrats of the House for tariff
tinkering by piecemeal, aud now it IN
effect advises 1t to pursue this policy
with regard to iron. The JOurna
doesi.t know its own mind as to details
but in wanting to get the tariff smashed
somehow it agrees with itself pretty
well.
The chief hope of Democracy today Is a
complete repudiation by Candidate Cleve-
laud OF the outspoken revenue-tariff reso
lutioD of the Chicago conventions
Springfield Union.
He won't repudiate. He'll hedge
probably.
C'est Ell vain que les journaux demo
cratiQues chercheront u faire du capt. Al
poltque avec In malheureuse affaire de
Homestead (Pennsyivanie). Les ouvriers
des acieries Carnegie recevaient, en- retour
de leur travail, un salaire plus eleve que
ceux de n'importe quelle autre acierie du
pays.-L' 'Esperance.
A fact which speaks louder than any
amount OF argument. Money talks.
William Waldorf Astor, whose death
occurred in London at 2 Il, M. on Monday,
owned one-fftieth Of New York city.
His estate IL estimated at over $50, ,000, :

Well Well Here's a paper which
succeeded I'm keeping Astor dead after
everybody else had given him up for

We are not exactly prepared to boast
unreservsdly of tins condition Of our
streets as To cleanliness Measured by the
standard OF the best paved and best swept
streets Of the European capitals, they are
clean, and their pavemcnts, as n rule, are
below the mark, Enough the present mu-
nicipal government has improved many
miles Of them most creditabIy, Measured
by the standard OF nearly every other
American city, however, they are far
ahead. Only Boston and Washington
como up to them in cleanliness. New
York Sun.
This ridiculous boast was inspired by
praise of the streets of New York too
easily uttered by various enthusiastic
Christian Endcsvorers. The streets
