has done in every battle within his own
party since his entry In national poiiticsE-
Cleveland World.
No, he is going to be sat upon,
squelched, caused to squeal. scalped and
cut in sunder, and then his successfui

Imagination and American money
have hardly co-operated long enough yet
TO show what can come or them.-New
York World.
No; but still $4,000 for onyx orna-
ments in the w. X. Vanderbilt bath
room at Newport is a pretty severe
strain upon the iinaginat!on OF the av-
erage mortal who is asked to picture TO
himself human being so constituted as
to find satisfaction in that expenditure.
That Is rather unique scheme Of the
Boston Congregationalists to organize q
sort of committee of safety, representing
all the religious denominations, In order
to infuse u better aud more unselfish
spirit into municipal politics. But IL
will not much disturb the equanimity OF
either side, who know full well that they
can always have their own way in the ad-
ministration of q city's affairs so long as
they can play on the partisan preludices
and fears of the majority OF that class OF
men who are likly TO- be found connected
with religious organizations.-J
The Journal began the week bravely
with an attack on college men it keeps
up the fight famously with its slurs
against church members. 1t Is an
amusing and an amazing plank OF the
Mugwump platform that there Is no
knowledge and no virtue outside OF
Mugwumpery.
What. nominate Harrison for second
term?
How can the thing be done with both
New York and Pennsylvania against him.
IN. Y. Sun.
If Mr.. Harrison is really nominated,
the Sun will discover that New York
and Pennsylvania are not against him.
They are, in fact, for the nominee Of the
Republican Convention.
The (election) bill is striking illustra-

Confirmed Journalistic Liar.
The evils of repeated attempts to elect
are not felt "by the other cities and
most of the towns" On the contrary,
the rule is quite the other way. Usually
the second election for representative is
the last, the sitting members retaining
their places in the event of failure to
elect. This will prove to be the case in
Newport when Honey's count has been
rebuked. 1t is also the case in Woon-
socket, Pawtucket and most of the
towns. Of course, Woonsocket and
Pawtucket had little trouble over their
mayoralty elections, but that is quite
another matter.
A tin pail, made from tin mined and
manufactured in this country, is on ex-
exhibition at store on Thames street.
The Herald is not unpatriotic. 1t can
not utter a word In encouragement OF
any American enterprise. But when we
consider that to exhibit to the working
men of Newport this one tin pail it has
cost them-every wage-earner-under the
Mckinley tariff more than they would
pay for better article under normal con-
dition of trade, then we urge the work
ingman to think, when he looks at this
particular pail, IL he wants to keep up
this tax on his daily earnings.
Herald.
If the Herald will kindly study the re-
port Of the special treasury agent on the
tinplate industry in this country it may
enjoy the pleasure of learning that tin
pals not only cost no more than they
did i'm the anti-slavery era, but that tin
plate and tin plated articles tend down.

But it is to be feared that their inter-

AS between the old candidates of 1884,
the situation now Is that Mr.. Blaine is de-
