Tie man who, on the basis OF Col
WriRht's figures. after all the elements,
including long hours and inforced idle
ness, are taken into account, can hgurc
any advantage on the side of this country,
may well pride himself OH being an ex-
traordinary reckoner.-Boston Globe.
Yet that is what any reckoner would
easily do. For, while the hours of labor
are no shorter here upon an average
than in Great Britain, the enforced
idleness"-loss of time by slack work, is
much greater there, food Is higher,
clothing us high, rents .nominally lower
but quarters much inferior.

of the past would tickle him.
Since it was discovered that the present
House has appropriated 100000 900 more

Democrats are not doin so much talking

The belief is fast gaining ground that
the Democrats OF both factions in that

New York is by no means sure to the
Democracy. Newport Herald.

New York, the pivotal State, is lost to
the Democracy unless Hill and Cleve-
land make up, and is very possibly lost
even then. 1t would save hard feelings
and hard dollars to countermand the
call for the Chicago convention.
Late reliable returns from the savings

Brother Peabody can show one result

one and the same time for law, order
and decency and for the upholding of
American industries and the mainte-
nance of the comforts of the American
