TO RAILROAD MEN.

Do you recognize any essential diff
ference in the character of the strike
of the Amalgamated association
against the encrOachment of the Car
negie corporation, and any contest
that has heretofore taken place and is
liable to take place at any time be-
tween yourselves and railroad cOrpor-
atiOnS? Have you noticed the atti-
tude of the Republican press toward
this affair? First, active in extend
ing sympathy to the labOring men,
then passive, then blatant in ridi-
culing and belittling the effort, always
making use of every little point
quoted by the wealthy managers of
the corporations, who are careful to
conceal every phase that will not
sound plausible and fair to the pub
lie. Do you look upon these people as
your friends, or do you not have bet
ter grounds to cOnfide in those who
stand up for the laborer first, last and
all the time, those who are fighting
for the principle that the labOring
men have some rights which even cor
porations are bound to respect? Some
of these days the heel of the Oppres-
sOr will be upon you, then ask your
selves how you would relish the cold
blOOded remarks which are now being
made by these servants of plutocracy
about the men at Homestead, when
they are directed at your own heads.

The Passing of David.

A leader Of his party lay waiting in suspense;
There was no lack of "cussing," but woeful
lack of sense.
His henchman stood beside him as his chances
ebbed away,
And bent, with plying glances, to hear what
The leader slightly faltered as he took his
henchman's hand,
And he said: II never, never shall reach the
promised land.
Take this message, beseech you, to those dis
tant friends so kind
That Growers sucked the orange and left me
with the rind.
"Tell the Crokers and McLaughlins, as you
meet the crowd around,
To talk the matter over on the bosses stamp
ing ground,
That fought the battle bravely. and when the
day was DER
The disappointed boomers lay thick upon the
floor.
And mid the dead and wounded were some
grown old in sin,
And the scars upon their faces showed the
fights which they'd been in;
And, though am a Democrat. my little boom's
declined,
When Growers sucked the orange and left
me with the rind.
"Oh, friends, | hope you'll never have this
presidential itching,
Although the visions | have had were really
quite bewitching
And, friends, | hope you'll never be in my sad
situation,
And try to get, as | have done, the party's
nomination,
And sec, when almost near enough to grasp
the glittering jewel,
Another person snatch the prize-I tell you,
friends, it's cruel"
At this his trembling voice gave out, and then
he made a sign,
Like one who swallows bitter pills or chokes
with bit of rind;
His chin dropped low upon his breast, as bowed
his stricken head,
And then the demagogue of demagogues, poor
David Hill, was dead.

"REMINISCENCES OF 1888.
Why the New York World Thought Cleve-
land Weaker Than His Party.

Why the New York World Thought C1evo-
land Weaker Than His Party.
On the 18th of January, 1889, the New
York World devoted leader, over a
column in length, to a statement Of the
reasons which, in its opinion, had COM
bined to compass the defeat of the DEM
ocrats in the presidential election of
1888. This article will be read with in
terest just now. 1t will be seen that it
was the candid opinion Of The World
in 1889 that its party had lost the presi-
dency the year before, not through any
fault of its own, but because Of the con-
spicuous and many sided weakness of its
candidate, Grover Cleveland. Mr.. Cleve-
lands immediate partisans are fond of
arguing that he is better than his party.
The World does not go into the question
of ethics, but it distinctly charges that
he was weaker than the Democracy four
years ago.
Obviously, what gives peculiar signifi-
canoe to the article in question is the
fact that The World at present Is as.
surfing its readers that Mr.. Cleveland
was nominated on and not in spite of his
record. What is his record on The
Worlds own showingp 1t is the record
of an official who pursued vacillating
course; who betrayed the cause of civil
service reform; who did the right thing
at the wrong time; who erected q per-
sonal administration Of his own; who
ignored the wishes of the majority Of
the people and of tried and true party
leaders; who treated his cabinet
officers as though they were so many
clerks; who cruelty snubbed the Dem
ooraoy Of New York city; who
committed a preposterous blunder
In his choice Of collector for the coun-
try's chief port; who played into the
hands of those representing 1.-The most
corrupt phase of municipal administra-
ton since Tweed" who brought "shame
and decentralization" to his party by
''his scheme of parties without partisan
ship and politics without politicians,
ostensibly enforced in one state to be
conspicuously violated in another"
Such, in brief, is Mr.. Cleveland's rec
ord as The World apprehends it and
has outlined it in its own columns
Nevertheless, yesterday. in comment
ing upon his triumph, it calmly asserted
that he was nominated ION his charac-
ter and record"
Of course the best thing our neigh
Dor can do in the circumstances is to
shut its eyes to Mr.. Cleveland's record
and proceed to support him on the as
sumption that he hasn't got any. Or it
can take the ground that the indictment
which it framed against him in 1883 was
a typographical error. Or it can hold
that the leopard has changed his spcts-
that while the Cleveland of 1888 was
truly bad the Cleveland of 1892 is a re-
formed man.-New York Tribune.
