The duty of Congress in it's investiga-
tion of the Homestead riot is very simple.

stringent legislation as will make IL i'm

Suppose man runs " lumber yard,
and he puts private watchman there
nights, and the watchman has a stick
and revolver-in Woonsocket, say
do you want the august Congress of the
United States jumping on his neck |?
Stuff The eternal principles of equity
and common sense are not knocked into
cooked hat just because of the
excesses Of certain men. Suppose dur
ing the State election the Woonsocket
Democrats had gone to gut the Reporter
office? Wouldn't the proprietors have
kept 'em out by force II necessary?
The Democrats in Kansas have fused
with the Peoples party. Do they endorse
platform Fast Greenwich Pendulum.
Probably not. "Anything to get the

The Fourth of July is a bigger day than
the 30th of May. Larger crowds at the
ball games prove this conclusively.-
Olneyville Times.
1t didn't need proof. Every one knows

Mr.. Depew told the Christian Endeayor
people at New York that the great gath
ering reminded him of another conven-
tion he had recently attended. This was
q good deal more hattering TO the Repub-
licaDs than TO the society assembled in
the etropolis.-Journal.
Without meaning any disrespect to
the more recent convention this is not
true. Both conventions were made up
of honest, moral, sober, earnest people.
Both were clean and wholesome and on
healthy errand bent, and it is not re-

drunk, and held without bail as wit

There is a prospect of free tin, and
when that glad time comes 4 will no

much confidence. Workmen will be
pleased at the suggestion of tin over
coat so thoughtful.

There is no Stuffed Prophet. Every
minor consideration, every incidental ex-
crescence, is drowned in the rushing tide
of Democracy.-N. Y. Sun.
So the Stuffed is an incidental ex-
crescence," is he? Well, we don't want
any incidental excrescence in the Presi-
dents chair.
No one will regret that at Homestead
there should have been slaughter of q
number of the Pinkerton corps by an in

If all the reports are true in regard to
the expenditure of the city money this
year. there will be the largest overdraft
at the close of the municipal year that the
