 PIrRY. POINTED AND PERTINENT.
 Perhaps MT. Cleveland has made a contract to furnish some enter prising publisher with copy for a book to be called 'The Candidates Ready Letter Writer"
 Congressman Oates, of Alabama, or youngman- afraid to- make are port, as he has been called since he announced that his committee, which went to Homestead to investigate, would make no report until the next session of Congress, has assumed a new role-CoDgressional jag expert.
 How thankful those who follow Congressional proceedings ought to be that there is only one Holman.
 Of course Canada dosen't like re- talliation. Nobody expected her to. There is only one way in which she can escape it, however, and that is to treat Uncle Sam's boys just as she does her own, so far as naviga- tion laws are concerned.
 There is little doubt that demo- cratic fllbustering in the House against the Worlds Fair appropris- ton bill, made a good many repub- lican votes.
 Secretary Elkins very rightly re- voked that keep of the grass" order issued by the army officer in charge of public buildings and grounds at Washington, to prevent the holding of G. A.

 The Standard Oil Company is ap- parently furnishing the lubricants for the democratic campaign.
 It may be that the democrats who engineered the House resolution for an investigation of the Reading Railroad Coal trust really want the facts; and then again it may be that only a big campaign contribution is wanted.
 Congressman Tom Watson, ol Georgia, charges that useless em ployes crowd every corridor of the democratic House. Yes, and some of them occupy chairs on the floor.
 The United States Supreme Court has long ago said that protective tariff was constitutional. But lit tie thing like that has no effect upon the pop-gun democrats who say it i: unconstitutional.
 Ex-Speaker Reeds idea of the democratic railing cry-"The Pro phet and the ballot box; both stuff ed"-is good enough to pass around
 The democratic House displayed its respect for labor when it deliber. ately struck out the Senate amend ment to the Sundry Civil bill pro viding for the purchase of site for a new government printing office, at Washington. About 5000 men and women daily endanger their lives by working in the old building.
 Assassination is always cowardly and is never justifable, and every body who sympathizes with the strikers at Homestead rejoices to know that they are unanimous in condemning the attempt made by the Russian anarchist to murder MT. Prick.
 The democrats are already begin ming to try to step over that rotten free tradeplank in their national plat form, and in localities where there are protected industries they do not hesitate to say that they believe in the protection of established in dustries. The democratic party has never fought a national campaign in which it did not try to stand on all sides of every important question, and the coming campaign is not to be an exception.
 The widow of Senator Plumb seems we'll supplied with the sort of common sense that made her hus- band famous, and she displayed a big chunk of it when she asked that an item in Congressional appro- priation bill giving her 5000 be struck out.
