Aha! We've got at the secret OF the
Journals astounding paragraphs about
Brown University, the clergymen ana
the Purchasable party. Wasn't 1t blum

The Republicans are deploring that
Harrison Is not, like Blaine, a magnetic
man. Well, 1t Is a pity, but the Demo-
Gratis propose to galvanize him next
vember.-Newport Herald.
Well, what's the battery? Who's in
the points Fatty or Baldy in the
pitchers box? Gray or Boies at the
home plateg
Again the rumor of Prof Palmer's de-
parcure from Harvard is denied and this
time by the gentleman himself, who
writes under date of the 9th to say that
he has just declined President HarPer's
offer. This Is good news to the friends OF
the higher education at the EAST
Journal
How about the loss to Brown If Presi-
dent Andrews were to accept an equally
fatterlng call? The Journal has this
Mugwump peculiarity that the farther
away anything is the bigger it looks.
The merely mechanical feats Of modern
journalism are among its most astonlsh-
ing Developments. rhe Globes forty-one
ton edition of May 1, 1892, is the evidence
OF new era In newspaper achievements,
the final limit of which is not yet In sight.
The Globe is still growing. - Boston
Globe.
Pshaw! That's nothing. There's a
discredited ex-organ in Providence which
claims, on daily gain of over 2, 200,
present circulation of between 6OO,OOO
and 100000. The Globe isn't In 1T,
when it comes to Dragging.
The 500, 600, 900 collected through the
tariff last year was simply so much paid
in taxes on imports. IL was paid by our
own people at our own customs-houses.-
N. Y. World.
Partly so, no doubt; yet not alto
gether. For instance, when the North
ampton shoemakers work at lower
wages on export shoes, as they do, and
when the manufacturers are content
with less profit or none at all when in
vading new market, and thus are able
to name to American importers prices
twenty or twenty-five per cent. below
London wholesale prices-who pays the
tax?
The Republican ''boys" of Colorado are
organizing excursion parties TO Mime
apolis. Their invitations are attractively
worded: Fun ahead Come and see
Meleett- and Teller knock grandfather's
hat out of shape" BY about what
majority will Harrison carry Colorado?-
BROOKLYN Eagle.
Perhaps he may not carry it at all, if
the Democrats are sufficiently plant i'm
the matter of free silver. But he would
be stronger in the East without Colorado
than with it, in that case.
Once and awhile there is an instance
when one Of these adjectives can be used
and when it does not seem to be very
much out of place. For instance When
man gives his finger a severe pound
with hammer when a low hanging
clothes line takes him under the chin and
sends him over on the back OF his head, or
when he steps on piece of ice and cbmes
down heavily on the ground. On such
occasions as these an emphatic word
does not seem SO much out of place, and il
seems to be human nature 10 wish the
cause Of their trouble anything but kind
treatment, but habitual profanity should
be discouraged and in order to bring
about such a reform the men will have to
set the example. le.--Narragansett Times.
This mild apology for occasional pro-
family and the Journals structures on
clergymen in the lump Indicate that
Rhode Island is getting little frisky in
spots.
Even "the Watchdog of the Treasury -
gets hungry occasionally.-N. Y. Recorder.

Br'er Reed show up the old humbug by
proving that he never in his life voted
against an Indiana appropriation, no
matter how unnecessary OF extravagant?
Enough evidence was produced Mt the
legislative hearing yesterday TO show why
the exclusive franchise asked for by the
Narragansett Electric Lighting Company
should not be granted.
Enough evidence was Produced to
show that the privileges asked by the
Democrats and Republicans controlling
the lighting company are quite similar
to those already granted to the Union
Railroad Company, controlled by Mug
wumps, and pronounced fairly satisfac-
tory to all concerned.
