Mr.. Edward Delille is British.
er who is true 10 the British in
stinct to ridicule everything
American, even to the extent of
making himself ridiculous. He
.journeyed across the Atlantic the
other day and found himself in
New York with half an hour to
spare before the next steamer de.
parted for England. WhereupOn
he bought four copies of four
leading New York journals, and
at his leisure wrote the Nineteen
thCentury all about them. In Ed
warc's opinion they are crude TO
finish, totally lacking in scholarship
and refinement, and good only
the half savage people they are for

forgets one thing. American
newspapers. unlike the London
Thunderer, for instance, are print

Gen. James B. Weaver candidate
of the peoples party for President,
was born in Dayton, o., in 1888,
and graduated at the law school
of Ohio University at Cincinnati in
1854. In April, 1861, he enlisted
as private in the second Iowa
infantry, was elected lieutenant,
rose to be major, and after the
field officers had fallen at COrinth
was commissioned colonel. He
was brevetted a brigadier general
in 1865, After the war he first
settled down to the practice OF
law, but soon became editor OF
the Iowa Tribune, published at
Des Moins, and was elected to
congress in 1878. In 1880 he has
nominated for the presidency by
the greenback labor party, and
received 3O7, $40 votes. He was
returned to congress in 1884 and
again in 1886.

Trying to Stay the Cleveland Tide.

Trying to Stay the Cleveland Tide.
Henry Wstterson succeeded in getting
the Kentucky convention to refuse to in
struct for Mr.. Cleveland, but he knows
very well that the Kentucky delega-
ton is composed almost wholly Of
Cleveland men. who will join the Cleve-
given MIR. Carlisle a complimentary vote.
Mr.. Watterson, apparently, is pulled up
with the idea that he can prevent the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Cleveland, and the dispatches
with which ne and his Washington cor
respondent have been loading the news
columns OF the Courier-JournGI have at
forded the whole country more amusement
than is to be obtained at q first-class circus.
! Not long ago, in one of his Washington
letters. Mr.. Watterson said that having bait
tied 80 long for democratic success he was
tired. and expressed the opinion that he had
earned rest. Nobody objected TO his
taking rest. and there was a good deal OF
surprise doubtless shat he didn't take 1t.
He kept right on, however, reiterating
what he meant to be arguments against
Mr.. Clevelands nomination, but which
boiled down amounted to nothing more
than that Mr.. Cleveland could not carry
New York because Tammauy doesn't favor
him.
Within the last day or two additional
evidence has appeared in the Courier
Journal that Mr.. Watterson is tired. In
double-leaded Washington special the in
formation is conveyed that the senators and
representatives who have been doing all
tbau CpulH kn -
Mr.. Cleveland have suddenly ceased their
opposition to him. One Of these anti>Cleve-
landites said that he had done all he could
with the help of "a few brainy and well in~
formed men like Mr.. Wattersol to oh COX the
Cleveland craze" This brainy and we'll
informed man, according to the Courier
Journal, said further: II have done what
could to check the insane idea. but have
failed, and am done. II Mr.. Cleveland's
friends want to force his nomination upon
the party after what we have said and
done, they can go ahead and take the res
sponsibility upon themselves.
Was there ever so much conceit and gall
crowded into 80 small spacei It seems
that this alleged brainy man who was inter
viewed and few other alleged brainy men
thought that all they had to do TO stay the
march Of the Democratic party In the direc-
ton Of Mr.. Cleveland was TO get in front of
1t and snort and below and announce that
it would be folly to 60 any farther on that
course, because Mr.. Cleveland could not be
elected.
But the Democratic party hasn't paid any
attention to the alleged brainy men who
have tried to turn the Democratic party
from Its purpose. Naturally the alleged
brainy men are good deal disguised aud
say that IL the Democratic party won't be
guided by them it can follow its own judg-
ment and take the responsibility. That's
exactly what 1t is going to do.

The Silver Issue Again.

The free silver coinage senators say they
have the votes and are going to pass the
Stewart free silver coinage bill. The getting
Of this bill before the Senate SO that IL must
be voted upon, or set aside in favor of some
other Dill by an affirmative vote, was q sur
prise to both the Senate aud the House.
The free silver coinage senator's who be-
lieye they can pass the bill in the Senate are
overconhdent. They will find that the anti
free coinage senator's will not let the bill
come to a vote if they believe it would be
passed. They will discuss it until adjourn-
ment If they cannot prevent its passage at
this session in any other way.
The passage of the bin by the Senate
would make it impossible for the Repub-
lican party to carry any Of the eastern
states. In those states both democrats and
republicans have declared against free silver
coinage in their platforms. If the Senate
should pass the Stewart bill the House
wouldn't make the mistake of doing 80, and
the democrats would lose nothing in the
south and west by its failure
to pass 1t, while they would
gain immensely in the east. The fact that
Mr.. Cleveland is being Endorsed all over
the west and south, notwithstanding his
snti-free silver coinage letter, shows that
the western and southern people are waking
up to the fact that free silver coinage would
benefit only the silver mine owners.

President Gompers, of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor. has addressed a circular
letter to all the trades unions in the United
States urging them to use whatever influ~
ence they may have to secure the open.
ing of the worlds fair on Sunday. He says
that Sunday Ia the only day on which the
large majority Of workingmen can visit the
exposition, and from this standpoint argues
that they should not be deprived Of such an
opportunity for enjoyment and instruction.
At the same time number of so-called
reform societies are exerting themselves to
prevent the opening of the fair Oh Sundays.
In the House all sorts of motions and counter
motions were made day before yesterday =,
in an effort to get an expression from con-
gress against the Sunday opening, and
finally it was decided that the governments
exhibit should not be open TO the public on
that daV
