The conventions at Minneapolis and
Chicago were drunken riots.--lndepend'
ent Citizen.
AS to Minneapolis, at least, this is
conspiciously untrue. Considering the
large number OF people In the city, II
was quiet, orderly and sober.
A Democratic daily for the campaign
would be an expensive. but delightful
toy. Would it's staff be Republican, as
is the usual custom r-Attleboro Sun.
What makes this Attleboro paper 30
cranky? Republican journalists do not
usually run Democratic papers.
The RHODE ISLAND militia have been
playing soldiers at Camp Brown this
week. The new Brigadier- General Ken
dali was In command. The troops and
forms and gold lace.-Newport Mercury.
Didn't they, though?
The PROVIDENCE NEWS has taken upon
itself the arduous and thankless task of
correcting the grammar OF tho entire
State press. ss.-Olneyville Times.
No, we haven't quite undertaken that
contract. Once in while, when the
weather is hot and the flies bother and
the mucilage gets all "gummed mp" and
the pen sputters, we feel like having a
little bout with some of onr esteemed
contemporaries. But the college presi-
dent who breaks grammatical rules
catches it every time we catch him.
A Republican Senate passed free-coin-
age bill. A Democratic House defeated
1t. And yet Republican newspapers and
speakers have the unparalleled impu-
dence TO refer to the Democratic party as
World.
The New York Erening Post is a
pretty good Democratic paper, and it
says "the action of the Democratic
Senator'S in passing the Stewart silver
bill has caused a shadow and chill to
rest on the prospects of the party" The
Post knows that thirty out of forty
Democratic Senators voted TO turn
down the Chicago platform; it knows
too that Republican votes defeated the
bill in the House. No Humbug, Brer
Pulitzer.

pressible conflict Is upon us. We
must bury the force bill by our votes.
It's Mount Etna, ready to pour a tor
rent OF lava upon the devoted heads of
the people OF the South.-Charlesto
News aud Courier.
Poor, miserable, crow-eating Dana has
got one of his Southern friends worked
mp, indeed. Charleston shouldn't let
itself get excited over the SUMS trans
parent device for diverting attention
from its pangs Of indigestion.
President Frick testifles that he agreed

High pay indeed, but less pay than
Hugh ODonnell's.
We would respectfully ask Gov. Rus
sell, who, with all other speakers in Ire
mont Temple, recently, threw the whole
blame Of the trouble at the Carnegie
works on the MCKINLEY law, TO answer
ton made in the tariff duty on foreign
goods, such as are produced in the Car
negie mills, brought on all this trouble
between Carnegie and his men, what
would be the result IL the whole tariff
duty was removedi-Fair Play.
Probably Gov. Russell will never have
time to answer this question. If he
does answer it well engage to print the
answer.
There Is q standing rule In the Herald
office to never iusert advertising CUTS
N. Y. Herald.
That's what makes the Heralds pages
look 80 dull and manotonous. For our
part, we appreciate the assistance of our
advertisers in illustrating the NEWS
pages and only wish there were more of
em. There's nothing In newspaper art
to equal the ad. mans electro.
The Senate's curiosity about the export
Of rum to Africa has been satisfied by the
chief OF the bureau of statistics, who say
that in eleven months we sent the blacks
no less than 649,6l6 gallons, valued at
s759,03l. 1t would now be interesting to
get the figures OF the trade in missiona-
Does the Journal with its usual hatred
Of clergymen, intend to insinuate that
rum and missionaries are to be classed
in the same category?
President Harrison's withdrawal of his
colored nominee for postmaster of Charles
ton puts him in rather awkward
position. There has rarely been a more
open aud shameless case of an attempted
barter and sale of an Office in return for
political services rendered that this one

That's just the idea when colored
American citizen is appointed to Office
It is shameless. When Cleveland goes
hand and glove, bartering and selling
with Tammany, why, of Course it is all
right, because the Stuffed Profit can do
no wrong. A $4,000 check given to-
wards ones own election is just lovely,
while the buying up of thousands of
votes in New York in 1883, by the Cleve-
and heelers was patriotic. To such
depths has politics sunk since the advent
