1t is apparently out of the Journals s
power to do anything more than half
| heartedly or to remain in the same mind
| two days. Would anybody suppose
| from the above that the Journal had in
fashion urged Rhode Island to speak
and given divers and several reasons?
But the Journal needn't worry; it has
| nothing on its conscience, for Rhode
Island would have spoken even louder
If its mugwump adviser had kept still.
Mr.. Ward McAllister openly boasts that
| he advises his friends to refrain from
hiring houses here too early "becadse

TO quote him, "you can get them so much
cheaper IL you wait. doncher know. -

The Observer takes this to heart, and

life's practical virtues, doncher know?

Ex-Secretary Blaine left Washington
| quietly. There was no one representing
| the administration to bid him farewell,
and, although the President knew that
he. was to leave, he did not take the
Call.
We've had about enough for the

Query; why does the Journal so osten-
tatiously belittle and insult its own
State and her representatives.

In an article on Mr.. Blaine the World
| says he was "once honorably defeated. I"
That is false. He was defrauded of his
| victory in 1884 because the Democratic
thieves of Brooklyn and New York city
stole Gen. b. r. Buffers votes and count
ed them for Cleveland. The Democratic
| party cannot honorablv defeat anybody
in Presidential contest while it holds
| the 1856 votes of the South by murder, ter
| rorlsm, theft and fraud. On a fair vote
there would be no use in nominating a
| Democratic ticket, as the country would
be almost solidly Republican.-i3ri
