"Col." or "Gen." Sir Adlai prefers to
rhyme II with gladly, but when autumn's
here, we very much fear he'll find 1t
rhymes best with sadly.
All the Democrats sorehsads voted for
him (Kolb) rs we'll as the Alliance men
and many Republicans. Hence Gov.
Jones reduced majority. Bedford
journal.
And what a lot of soreheads there
were That's the interesting point in
view of November.
1t is the Irish American, the British
American, the German-American and so
on, al fnem, whose prejudices are be-

being sought out. Never a thought is
given to what tho native would like done
Tor his own country; II Is the trials and
troubles OF the foreign-born that most
concern the stump speaker and cause his
manly breast TO heave and his blood to
boil.-Newport Observer.
Then our friend goes on: "It is about
time that America should be for Ameri-
cans, not after the Know-Nothing style,
but for everybody in the country who
elects to follow American principles and
who does not attempt to spread abroad
foreign ideas and prejudices," and 80
we don't see but that he answered him
self very satisfactorily.
Although past the prime of life, the
chances are more than good that he
deacon White) will again be million
aire before he dies.-New Bedford Even
ing journal.
Probably he will. but when man is
past the prime of life there are larger
pleasures and worthier ambitions.
Whites debt paying has been notable
feat, and the NEWS is no canter about
the vanity of worldly dross, but absorp-

magnitude.
Mr.. Blaine will have fine opportunity
to be President Harrison's Burchard.-

the light in which his merits entitle him
to appear. Eagle.
Probably he will. In the light of an
unhung murderer aud an unpunished
corruptionist.
Mr.. Charles Dudley Warmers asser.
ton that New York Is now the literary
centre of this country Is not going to be
allowed to pass without protest.-Bos-
ton Herald.
You can protest as much as you like;
it's true. Boston is, relative to its size,
n much better book market than New
Yorhbuta much smaller number of books
magazines and newspapers are published
there. This Is by no means to BOston's
discredit, however. 1t is simply an in
stance of the centralizing influence of
civic bigness. So marked is this ten
dency that the New York branch of the
biggest Boston publishing firm is about
as important as the home Office.
Cleveland's letters arc carefully con-

Democrat.
That is an admirable rule for conduct
ing Democratic campaign, but it
won't work on our side.
Six months ago one solitary representa-

than seven newspaper men are making a
more or less luxurious living within the
borders of the town. Mckinley did it,
Burrillville News
Don't! Mckinley has good many
sins to answer for. without having the
responsibility for the newspapering of
Burrillville thrown upon his shoulders.
There is going to be survival of the
fittest some day.
The talk about the harmonizing of
Platt is very wearisome II the rank and
file of the Republican party are harmon
lied to the extent of coming out to vote
on election day, Mr.. Platt's position won't
matter so much.-Brooklyn Times,
1t is a fact. Mr.. Plat controls about
one vote. Republicans are not to be
led to the polls or kept away from them
by any man.
What is the meaning Of all those pic
lures of Mrs. Cleveland in Cleveland
contemporary? We thought we were
through with that kind Of business.-N.
Y. Recorder.

the campaign.
The reports which are being sent from
Fall River are chiefly based upon sur
misses and guess work. and should be ac-
cepted accordingly. Until some tangi-
BILE clue is obtained public judgment

is actually proven. -Woonsocket Evening
Call.
We are sorry the Call should advise
giving the family to the doubt when of

the doubt should be given to the fam
ily. Aside from the grammatical slip
the substance of doctrine is excellent.
