The NEWS TURN NOW


IL may be presumed that Mr.. Adlai Il
Stevenson was put on the Democratic
ticket to please what the Boston Pos
calls the "other elements" of the Democ
racy.-New Bedford Journal.
That is to say, to counteract Cleve
land; one man for the Wumps and one
for 'the boys" Fair enough isn't it?
A few years ago when over 90 years o
age the old brandy distiller (Prohibitior
Candidate BidwelD, gave up tho business
through the influence of u good young
woman whom ne had married but even
up to this time, according to our news
from California, the grapes which ne
brandy distillers. New York Sun.
Well. why not? The Prohibitionists
are practically for free rum and the
really logical thing for Bidwell to dc
would be to sell his grapes TO moon
sinners.
Only four Democratic Senators-Hill,
Gray, German and Palmer-voted with
Senate conferees 90 insist upon the SEN
ate amendment appropriating 100000 10
aid in entertaining the veterans who
will come to q. A. X. encampmeDt in
September. r.-Pawtucke Rscord-Visitor.
Nobody would have expected that
many.
The Democrat who can keep his tongue
straight enough to say Cleveland and
Stephenson ought to vote the Prohibition
ticket.-voice.
Bidwell and Cramfull is more eupho-
nious, but unpleasantly suggestive.
Perhaps our free trade friends will say
that the tariff caused the terrible upris-
ing against law and order among the
miners OF Idaho New York Sun.
II would be just like them, and we
shall be surprised if they don't; but
since you've swallowed Cleveland why
don't you make another and desperate
effort and swallow the Chicago plat
form?
The Homestead strikers voted for Mr..
Carnegie's protective tariff and are less
excusable than Democratic laborers who
refused TO set up u naughty class of pro-
tected barons would be. The Homestead
strikers voted TO protect aud build up the
great concern that they now seek to tear
down.-Dallas (Texas) News.
The News well says "the great con-
Germ" was built up through the agency
Of protection. But for the tariff there
would have been no mill to breed dis
turbance.
The Peoples party made grand mis-
take when they nominated Weaver for
president. Senator John M. Palmer
ought to have led that galaxy Of talent.
His idea as expressed in the Senate that
.'once man was employed he should be
work." is calculated to make even the
trainers OF that crazy quilt platform hold
their breaths. s.-Burrillville News.
It's probably the New York World
that's holding its breath-with amazed
grief that Palmer didn't get the Demo
cratic presidential nomination.
There appears to he room for a society
for the prevention of cruelty to emperors,
judging by the way Prince Bismarck
continues to badger Emperor William. -
Worcester Spy.
There may soon be room in this
country for a society for the protection
of workingmen from demagogic friends.
III the Homestead rioters are indicted for
murder will the New York World fur
nish substitutes to suffer imprisonment
or hanging for them?
Harvard University has applied for
1000 square feet of space for representa-
tive educational exhibit at Chicago. This
looks as IL 1t was proposed to enter Har-
wards football team.--Bos ton Herald.
No. Not space enough. Must be
something else.
II may take little hotter fire and a
little more persistence than usual this
year, but there is still fat to be fred
from the iron-masters of PENNSYLVANIA
Journal.
We hope so and indeed believe SO. 1t
would be too bad if the Republican cam
paign were crippled for lack of funds.
The importers and steamship agents of
New York will contribute literally to
the Democratic fund.
The Boston Journal tries TO tell one Of
its readers something about actual ex-
perience under a tariff for revenue only.
Why not point to the experience OF Eng
land under such tariff during the last
half century OF expansion In manufac-
lures and commerce journal.
Certainly. That experience has been
cheap production, vast exports, enor-
nous wealth to few and-half the
working people permanently or oc-
casionally pauperized-one out of
every thirty-ive souls in the
work-house, two ont of every
thirty-five receiving outside relief,
four or five out of every thirty-five the
recipients of private charity. Six hun
