The MEMS" TURN NOW

Inc rtport VI AdT. SlcNciouus
withdrawal may be put in Horace Gree.
ley's classification, important If true"
but IL deserves to be said that there Is as
yet but slender basis for belief in its ac-
curacy.-Journal.
Very important for the Journal. The
Hill winds do blow and we shall have
snow, and what will the Journal do
then, poor thing? Twill sit in the barn
and keep itself warm and hide its head
under its wing, poor thing.
IL Is wonder that Allen Thorndike
Rice does not turn over i'm his grave. To
the pages of the North Americdn Repiew
has been admitted an article on Tammany
Hall and Democracy by Boss Croker, who
once occupied cell in the Tombs charged
with murder. Croker's chief point seems
to be that no matter with what majority
the Republicans come down to Harlem
bridge Tammany will see il and go it
several thousands better.-Newport OBJ
server.
And Tammany will. Who, if not
Croker, should know Tammany?
The vigorous speech Of Mr.. Breckin-
ridge yesterday showed that Congress is
not unaware of the fact that its rights
have been tampered with by the Presi-
dent, though the reference of his resolu-
ton to n committee indicates that 1T Is
not yet prepared to give form to its re-
sentiment Telegram.
The vigorous" speech of Mr.. Brock
inridge was rebuked by his own
party so promptly and sharply as
TO suggest TO the telegram the wis
dom of holding its peace about that little
episode il it cherishes any feelings of
genuine friendliness for the silver
tongued Kentuckian.
If war does come we can and will put it
where it Justly and properly belongs, on
the shoulders. perhaps, of the most astute
politician OF the Republican party, but, in
reality, the most reckless and impolitic
secretary this country has ever seen.-
Pawtucket Tribune.
Democratic editors ought to get to-
gether and patch up little more har-
mony in their counsels. The Paw
tucket Tribune seems to think Blaine is
the great and only genuine Jingo, while
the rest of the Democracy piles the load
upon Harrison. Come, which is it, gen.
tlemen? You know they are not both
for war, for it's part of your creed that
they never agree.
Free silver would mean financial disas-
ter, and the ultimate loss of such disasters
falls upon the wage-earners of the coun-
try. Fortunately there is n Republican
President i'm the chair, who is against free
silver every time.-Westerly Narragan
sett Weekly.
Fortunately, for the Bland lion and
the Shermie Hoar lamb are getting ready
to lie down together, when the lamb is
sure to be eaten. The Eastern Democ-
racy speak large for honest money, but
they are powerless before the free silver
fiends.
Speaker Crisp's new gavel of Georgia's pine
Is very pretty, but too delicate for use, ex-
cept on certain occasions. For the regular
business OF the session whole pine tree, cut
into clubs of fair size; would have been more
useful in pounding the Democratic majority
into oorder.-Baltimore American.
Very true. How about piledriver p
Newport Observer.
Or, say, battering ram, or q me-
chanically- worked rock slide?
What the Democrats should do is to
give the country an assurance of their in
tent regarding the tariff If they are en-
trusted with power, and on this declara
ton to make their appeal to the people. -
Telegram.
Senator Hills Albany speech over
again. The poison works, evidently.
The last census under Gen. Porter cost
the country 100000 more than in 1880,
and was not worth half as much. Would
it not be legitimate for Congress to call
Gen. Porter to account ?--Pawtucket Tri-
bune.
Would it not be advisable for the
Tribune 20 ask itself how many more
people there were to be enumerated? So
far from costing more than the 1880 cen
sus. the last census. under Gen. Porter,
cost considerably less per capita.
Our Massachusetts, Mugwumps are
screwing their courage to the sticking
point and preparing to vote for Hill 1t
will be a bitter dose, but some of them
had rather swallow 1t than confess that
they were wrong by returning to the Re-
publican party.-Boston journal.
Confession would stick in Mugwump
throat. He would sooner vote for his
Satanic majesty.
That Westerly will be all right on the Re-
publican State and Legislative tickets goes
without saying. The town is so strongly Repub-
lican that IL can be counted on at all times TO
do its duty by the .party.--George III. Utter, in
the PROVIDENCE NEWS.
"Do its duty by the party!' Not n word
bling in politics aud the greed for office
do blunt the consciences of men! What
has the Republican or Democratic party
ever done for you, reader, that you should
neglect TO do what your conscience tells
YOU is right2-Westerly Tribune.
From which we would naturally infer
that Mr.. Utter's conscience is blunted." +"
However, "a good many thousands of
Rhode Islanders know that is not the case.
After all the names New York has been
calling Brooklyn for so many years, the
latter city seems To show very forgiving
nature in the way she expresses her will
ingness TO become "a part Of the metropo-
lis-Boston News.
But somehow the willingness doesn't
materialize SO very much. The Brook
lyn newspapers and officials are all
"agin it.
Politics makes strange bedfellows any
where but IN Chicago. Here we are able
TO furnish every politician with bed for
his own use which is more than any
other would-be convention city can say
Chicago Post.
Chicago got the Democratic conven-
ton against her will, but feels bound to
