Tho out-and-out free traders are all
found In the Democratic party. Recently
when friend expressed surprise 10 Row
land Hazard OF RHODE ISLAND that he
should be on the Democratic ticket as one
OF the electors for that State, he ex-
claimed "WhY, / have always been
tree trader. New York Independent.
That is just why Mr. Hazard and
his associates on the Democratic elec.
toral ticket will retire TO oblivion on
Nov. 8. RHODE ISLAND is essentially
manufacturing State and its voters Will
do their duty in seeing that no free
traders are elected TO Office.
The overthrow Of Honey, so closely fol-
lowing that Of Carroll, gives hopes for
better things throughout the State

Hope? Better than that. Absolute
certainty. The reign Of the Unfit is
short.
Promises and predictions are we'll
enough In their place. What is needed
now IL thorough performance or Demo-
cratic duty.-Brooklyn Eagle.
Well, what is Democratic duty? We
had cherished the belief that there is
only one kind of duty.
The oily, wiley, foxy politician from
Saltwater must be judged by the com
pany he keeps. and If he associates witha
crowd OF graspfng, scheming, treacherous
political street pads he must be OF the

II is difficult to see how the public Is
benefited by deals which prevent healthy
petition.-Burrillvill Gazette
Healthy competition to the new deal
is already provided for. But the pub
lie is benefited when railroad systems
are consolidated and through traffic en-
couraged. The fact that Boston and
Portland will profit by the deal, appar-
emily, more than PROVIDENCE doesn't

German printer set it up Amerigo Hence
America. This country is therefore
typographical error-Atlanta Constitu

The Constitution has believed that
this country was political and patrio-

Mr. Qufncy's figures on the political
situation have attracted very wide atten-
tion all over the country. y.-Boston Herald.
Which is IT, "Very wide attention"

be all over the country. We suspect
the Herald means that 10. Quincy's
figures have attracted attention in its
office and in QUINCY.
You may have observed that Mr.. Hill
very neatly removed the hide from Wayne
MacVeagh, and tackled 1t up on the barn
door.--New York Advertiser.
Why should he have tackled it to the

serving?
The self-respecting Mugwump must
continue on his placid way, not trying TO
identify himself with party which will
have none of him, but contenting himself
with voting for the lesser Of two evils
whenever the chance occurs or not voting
at all when no serious issue is at stake

Thus does the Morning Wunip incul-
cate the duties and impart the virtues
of American citizenship. Join the stay
at-home brigade. What's the differ

II. Senator HIPS reference to Mac
Weigh. is an insulting repulse Of all Mug
