CLEVEL4ND AND HIS GUNS.

" Grover Cleveland STANDS Dy MS guns. 20
"Thc Buffalo Courier reports Assuming that
the information is correct, Mr. Cleveland is
entitled to the general sympathy. For those
guns of his kick terribly. If he stands by
them he is bound to get awfully hurt. They
are the sort of guns whose discharge is innocu-
Gus, but whose recoil is deadly. They make
the experienced politic0 military man think of
some other engines of warfare described by
the poet Trumbull
But as some muskets SO contrive It,
As oft to miss the mark they drive at.
And though well aimed at duck and pover
Bear wide and kick their owners over.
Look at his tariff gun, for example Pos
sbly when the campaign opened Mr. Cleveland
didn't know IL was loaded or, at all events,
failed to realize that it was loaded so heavily, or
that it was iatcd to blow the gunner to smith
Greens. But he can have no doubt on these
points now Colonel Watterson, Of the Ken
lucky Brigade, assured the Chicago Conyen-
ton that a noblcr gun, a gun better calculated
to perform surprising feats Of carnage, had
never been built. \ good many Of the Colonies
fellow delegates who had had extended ex-
pcliencc with tariff guns gloomily shook their
heads. They said they didn't like the look of
the gun at ALL being confident that it was an
infringement upon the Boomerang patent But
these people constituted only an impotcnt mi
notify. \ large majority of the convention
agreed with the Colonel in holding that the
gun was the highest expression OF destructive
Democratic inventive genius in the way OF
tariff projcctiles.
Now is 1.-The Courier quite sure that Mr.
Cleveland is standing by this gun, which bears
on il brass the legend, Protection is uncon-
,tltuiional"? We are afraid our Buffalo friend
cannot have attcntiycly read It's Presidential
candidates letter of acceptance. For that
document went to show that instead OF stand
ing 10y his tariff gun, Mr.. Cleveland has re-
treated from it. Leyel-headcd men, as they
read his letter remarked Mr.. Cleveland L.
afraid Of his own tariff gun no treats 1t As Il
gunner would bc sure 10 treat gun which he
was sure was liable 10 blow him into frag-
mcnts any minute"
Then there is the gun which is Known
Familiarity A. the wildcat currency gun. ms
howitzcr Of nj, inspires Mr. Cleveland with 50
little confidence and so much apprehension that
hi, letter Of acceptance will be searched III VAN
for any au,ion 70 II. And no wonder. Every
time that gun is fired, like the tariff gun, II
PLAYS sad havoc with his Presidential prospects
He stands both Of these guns-hc must do that
but no does not stand by them. If the IN
stinct of political sef-preseryation IS strong
in him: and it probably is, why should he stand
by such guns? The best use he can put them
to is to stand away from them.
However, it can make little practical diner
once how Mr. Cleveland treats his guns during
tho rest of the campaign He will be beaten
If he stands by them, and he will be beaten
4 he cyinccs disposition to fight shy of them.
Wos over a gunner more unfortunate with hi,
aims.

the earnings for eleven branches of textile
manufacture, but in some respects diff5o>~ty
classified from the British report. The average
for all, according to the Massachusetts, report,
was 1868 % yearly earnings for each hand
omployed or ST o. per week The comparison
as 10 cotton shows a difference of less than
100 per cent, and also as 10 hosiery, though the
difference is very large. As to woOllens, wors-
teds and silks, the Massachusetts report shows
wages more than double those paid in Great
Britain The Massachusetts average in the
manufacture of elastic goods is SO 10 weekly
but this perhaps, includes some branches not
embraced in the British report of manufact-
ures of elastics, webs, etc, in which the aver
age paid is but So 30 weekly. The Massachu-
sets reports of mixed textiles cannot be exactly
compared with the British report, but show a
higher average of wages than appears in the
other manufactures Of which details are given.
No statement Of lace is given in the Massachu-
sets report, and flax, hemp, jute and linens
appear in one statement, the average being

and flax SO - for linen So 90, and for jute

Do the Democrats imagine that the voters
Of this country are entirely ignorant OF this
remarkable difference in wages? great

When Justice Field inquired Of counsel, who
was endeayoring t. uphold the conSttut0nality
of the Miner law, whether he thought the
Legislature Of Michigan could delegate the ap-
pointiIlent of Presidential Electors to the Uni
yersity Ct Ann Arbor the Justice went directly
to the heart Of the question involved in the
new Michigan law. BY its provisions the pco-
pie of each Congress District choose an ecctor
who represents that particular district and the
people Of the whole State vote upon none of
these district electors The Federal Constitu-
ton commands, however, that each State shall
appoint, in such manner as the Legislature
thereof may direct, number of electors equal
to the whole number of Senators and Repre-
sentatives TO which the State may be entitled
in the Congress-" The State does this The
Stale appoints. 1t appoints not one, nor two,
but all the electors. The electors represent,
not Congress District, but the State. This
must be admitted. Now, if it is consistent
with this requirement to allow electors TO
sit in the college who are chosen, not by
the State, but by the people Of a single Con-
gress District why is it not consistent to

The Executive Committee of the National
Civil Service Reform League has fttingly adopted
a minute paying warm tribute to Mr.. Curtis.
who was its first and has thus far been its Only
president. Beyond doubt the cause of civil
Service reform was closer to Mr.. Curtiss heart
than anything else with which he was identified
in the course of his life. He was virtually the
originator of the movement in this country ana
did more than any other man to advance ana
sustain it. The minute adopted by the League
saws truly that his " life and character afforded
10 his countrymen illustrious example OF en-
Urhtcned patriotism, and instruction beyond
price in the duties, the privileges and the true
worth of American citizenship"

The registration in this city on Tuesday was
q good many thousands smaller than it ought
to have been. The total was 2,G25. This is
much larger than the usual registration on the
first day. but Bliss less than on the opening
day in the last Presidential year. The falling
off is. of course, attributable to the interest
aroused by the Columbian festivities. There
is all the greater reason, therefore, for special
urgency in the matter of registration on the
three remaining days. The next of these will
