summing up and balance OF all things,
that which stands for good must win. The
Republican party stands for the best In
life, and will pass through the coming
test OF fire not only unscathed. but with
added glory. y.-Bridgeport News
That's the talk. We like to see pa
per which says that Republicanism is a
positive good and says it as if its whole
soul were in the words. Do 30 some
more, esteemed contemporary and name

President Harrison's strength with the
people lies in the fact that he is able and
honest. III anybody is nominated at
Minneapolis through sharp practice he

Able and honest indeed. and still the
leading candidate for that high honor.
But nobody will be nominated by sharp
practise and nobody will suffer at the
polls but Democrats.
1t goes without saying that Blaine
would give the country rafting ana
exciting campaign. His distant past Is
well nigh forgotten and his recent past
has shown some grand qualities. twenty
years ago he was n politician, but latterly
the most popular man in the country at
the present moment and IL he enters the
race we shall have some gorgeous specta-
cles to behold. New York World.
Tom Reed defined statesman 'as a
successful politician who is dead. Mr..
Blaine is TO be congratulated upon hav-
ing become, in the Herdlds opinion, a
statesman before the grave claims him
long before, we hope.
With Mr. Blaine as the Republican can
didate the Democrats would need their
strongest man to oppose him. They
would need a united party aud an intel

Behold the stuck-up has been turned
down. Awhile ago the World was
prancing excitedly around the political
arena crying out, Were going to elect
Democratic President. Watch us do
it," Little Rhody pebbled the journalistic
Goliath, and humility's self is less hum

IL appears that the Deacon jury was a
provincial one. 1t is opined that IL he
had been tried in Paris he would have

The latest coaled wave brings on its
crest the information that the price Of
coal will again be advanced twenty-five

ably means to say is that an ovation
would have been given to Deacon, and
that no further quarter should be given

man to an ovation as il it were hungry

as il il were a cannibal. Go to night

The reports of immigration for the ten

Of Italians arriving at all ports has de.
creased from 81 lob in the corresponding
ten months of 1891 to 1923 In 1892, the
arrivals from Russia have increased from
81, ,374 to 60, ,591. That is to say. the immi-

Undoubtedly this judgment Of the Rus

who have submitted to the miserable

only respectable Russians are the Nihi-

Hardly. Your true Mugwump isn't

Funny-isn't il that not even Mr..
Blaine's most ardent friends take him at

Yes, this connection; the protected
granite workers are strong enough to
