PARAGRAPHiC POINTERS.

An offer to read President Har-
risons affecting remarks on the wick
edness of gerrymandering to the Ohio
legislature is said to be an effectual
democratic device to secure a prompt
ad journ ment-Brooklyn Eagle.
1T is mean thing for manufac-
turers to pop up and say they wrote
certain parts of the Mckinley bill.
The country prefers to believe that
Mr.. Mckinley wrote it all, except what
Mr.. Blaine put in.-Louisvillc Courier
Journal.
Since Mr. Cleveland never said
that he was a candidate he will hardly
come out to notify the country that he
is not. He will let the country pick
the candidates aud if the democratic
party picks him he will serve. Other
wise he will remain in private life a
sterling democrat and good citizen
Kansas City Times.
In 1888 the democratic national
ticket, ON platform of radical tariff
reform, carried the country on the
popular vote by a majority exceeding
100, 900. In 1890. on the same plat
form, it swept the country. II
the democracy stands by its colors
this year there need be no fear that It
will meet with any ''misadventure" in
Novem ber.-Indianapolis Sentinel
If the New York republican or
gans want a text for a homily upon
gerrymandering let them look to Ohio,
where the representatives of their
party are cutting the map up into
Chinese puzzle or a crazy quilt in the
endeavor to make sixteen sure repub-
lican congressional districts out of
twenty-one. If President Harrison did
not protest against this sort of thing
what had he in mind? Perhaps it is
only democratic gerymandering that
is wicked in his view.-N. Y. World
President Harrison would have
been much stronger as a republican
candidate for reelection if he had made
as much of an effort to demonstrate
that the United States revenue officials
shall be respected in the transaction of
their official duties by the moonshiners
of the ''solid SOUTH" and protected in
the discharge of tho duties, as he is
making to compel Chilli to make repara-
ton for numbering the marines of the
Baltimore. More revenue officials
have been murdered by moonshiners in
tae ''solid south during Harrison's adj
ministration than the number of Amer
lean sailors killed by the Chilians, but
yet no effort has ever been made by
the administration to punish the MUIR
derers of those officials-Iowa State

FAVORS RETRENCHMENT.

The Great Democratic Majority Declares
for Honest Methods.
Corruption and extravaganza have
been dealt telling blow in the ma
tional house of representatives. The
great democratic majority, as it should,
has placed itself fairly and squarely
on the side of honest methods and re-
trenchment in governmental expenses.
There is something in the very sound
of the words Subsidy" and bounty
that CRATES upon the ear of most Amer
leans Even the incessant beating of
tom toms in praise of this essentially
foreign policy has failed to win over to
its support even the small continge mt
Of McKinleyite nominees for congress
which escaped the memorable tidal
wave of November, 1890.
Neither Mr.. Harrison nor Mr.. Blaine,
both of whom are known as devotees
to the subsidy and bounty heresies, can
find food for comfort in the figures
of the vote on the Holman resolu-
ton opposing the creation of favored
classes of every kind. There were re-
corded in its favor two hundred and
twenty-nine votes, while only forty
mem Eers-less than half the small
strength of the repu blican side of the
house-recorded themselves in oppo-
sitio1.
It was notable success for Mr.. Hol.
man and the democratic cause. All
attempts to explain away the lack of
republican opposition must react upon
the heads of the republican leaders in
congress. To seek to minimize the sig
nifcance of that paltry vote of forty
is simply to throw the greatest dis
credit upon the party's alertness and
appreciation.
There is great significance in what is
a manifest, though silent, revolt in the
republican minority in congress against
those twin relics of autocratic govern
ment, the subsidy and the bounty.
Nowhere will this significance be more
keenly appreciated than at the white
house and in the private office of the
secretary of state. Boston Globe.

RUSSIA.

Matters in the famine stricken dis
tricts of Russia are growing worse.
In some instances the peasants exas-
perated by hunger and sickness have
turned against the doctors, and the
physicians are fleeing in terror. The
plague stricken people are tearing up
the railroad tracks so that there is an
absolute panic all over that section.
The physicians are unable to cope with
the grippe and it is decimating its
thousands. 1t shows that all the pub
lished remedies for the grippe have
proven useless. The best remedy is
that which will stimulate the stomach,
incite the kidneys to action, and
soothe the inflamed tissues of the
lungs. There is nothing thu does this
so we'll as REDS GERMAN COUGH

cure you. Get it of any dealer.

is BLAINE NO MORE?
The Advocate of a vigorous foreign
Policy" Is Silent.

The Advocate of "VfSorous foreign
Policy" Is Silent.
The war is over, but what has become
of the plumed knight. James G.. Blaine?
The gazette is silent concerning him,
but the supposition IS that he lies on
the field wounded. The war was
Tracy's and Harrison's. Mr.. Blaine's
political stock in trade for nearly
twenty years has been an impression
in the public mind that he was the I'M
yielding advocate of a vigorous for
eign policy. He has never done any
thing but unpack his heart wi ~ words,
but he is esteemed audacious, and the
impression was accepted as the fact.
Mr.. Harrison does not seem to have
discovered that Mr.. Blaine is fighting
American. When the test came the
great jingo was not James, but Ben
jamin. The Blaine anchor has gone to
the windward as usual Mr.. Blaine
may be well 'pleased with his tempo
rary eclipse. He is cunning. When
he saw Harrison committed to an ex-
IRENE of protection, he threw out sug-
gcstions of reciprocity, and when over
whelming disaster bore upon the ex-
treme protectionists. he was accounted
a Solomon for wisdom. There are more
than four months to the date of the
Minneapolis convention. Machiavelli
in the state department counts, per-
haps, upon the inevitable reaction in
the public mind against the bravado of
a president looking for a denomination.
Just what the relations existing be-
tween the president and Blaine are the
public can only guess. How it is that
a candidate for the presidential nomi-
nation owing his seat in the cabinet to
the favor of the president can remain
there passes ordinary understanding.
Blaine appears to be a perfunctory
officer The president does not trust
MIN, yet knowing his popularity with
the republican party seeks to initiate
his methods and blunders, greatly to
the satisfaction apparently of the sec
Rotary, who stands ready to profit by
these blunders-
If Harrison suffers by reason of this
political family condition he has HIM
self to blame. knowing full well the
character of Blaine, he gave him chief
place in his cabinet. If. having sowed
the wind, he reaps the whirlwind there
need be no sympathy for him. Chicago
