Yankee Doodle. Boston Herald.
A good tune to beat the British allies
by.
The steamship Aurania Of the Cunard
line has again beaten her rival the Alaska
| OF the Guion line In race across the
ocean. This 10 pleasing to the owners of
the successful vessel and the contest
/ doubtless afforded pleasurable excitement
| to most OF the passengers, but ocean
steamer racing is dangerous pastime.-
| Springfield Union.
According to expert testimony, no.
| The North American had a symposium
on ocean racing some years ago, and
half dozen sea captains agreed that
1.-The swifter the safer" Is the ocean
rule.
| With the treasury on the verge OF de.
ficit, it Is high time to call halt in this
reckless career of squandering. Nothing
but n Democratic triumph next November
| can bring this about Boston Globe.
After the billion and a quarter dol
lar Congress-" Nonsense
The New York Sun declares that the
| Chicago platform contains an out-and-
| out free trade plank.-Newport Observer.
And the Sun is kicking about it, but
| it won't do bit of good. Grover has
found the soft side Of that free trade
plank and proposes to sit on II and dam
| gle his legs, in process Of fishing.
We can now go on to put the stress
! Of the fight where 1t belongs-on the tar
! i'll question. The anxiety of the Repub-
lican leaders to divert the fight from this
issue is In itself a confession OF weakness
and fear.-Boston Courier.
Hauap'f x-o,, ,xnt xnrr M rtias 1itf1a
mixed? 1t was the Democratic leaders
who built straddle platform and then
were knocked off it and somewhat
bruised
The city, as whole, was never more
inviting, and has seldom had a better
pal atronage.-Newport News.
Same here! Glorious summer, isn't
it!
The President a few days since signed
the pension appropriation bill. 1t is an
increase OF $l1 900 900 over that OF last
year, the gross amount being $l46, 757 $50.
No one can say that the nation is not
taking good care of those who stood up
for the union during the late trouble, AS
it ought Woonsocket Reporter.
No, but If you let the Democrats in,
one can begin to say that, just as soon as
they get to work. It's question which
they would attack first, the pensions OF
the tariff.
What have the Republican papers to
say to the assertion that the chairman of
the Republican national committee Is n
strong silver" man.-Pawtucket Tri-
bune.
They will probably say-at least it's
evident enough--that, if 1t were true,
the financial views of the chairman
have no influence upon legislation. You
might as well object to printer be-
cause he happened to be Republican.
But apparently it isn't true.
In column ana q quarter, double
loaded, screeching editorial, the PROVE
DENCE NEWS has started the time-worn
election cry that grass will grow In the
main streets and the machinery In the
mills will rust from idleness, il Cleve-
land Is elected. What a silly argument
for an alleged Intelligent newspaper 1t
was made eight wears ago and we venture
to say that the years of Clevelaud's ad-
ministration were as prosperous as those
Of Harrison's. -Pawtucket Tribune.
1-They were not. The balance of
trade was against us during Cleveland's
term, while we have just finished the
most prosperous year in our history,
with total foreign trade Of 81, ,S57, 1885,
910. and balance of 5000, ,000, 900.
2-Cleveland wrote free trade mes
sage and the Democratic House passed
free trade bills, but the Republican
Senate stood in the way of disaster to
Pawtucket Democrats. Queer graft
tude they show.
The Peoples party leaders show ten
dency to ally themselves with anybody to
beat the Republicans. This confirms the
impression, which the conditions compel
one to. form, that the third party will
hurt the Republicans much more than
the Democrats. Bedford Journal.
True in the West, not in the South.
On the whole, about an even thing.
Our English cousins do up a political
campaign much quicker than we in
America but 1t taxes good while for
both sides TO be heard In this country
Worcester Post.
True enough so far as the campaign.
ing is concerning, but when it comes to
an election, the English sort is drawn
out almost to Judgment day.
The new chairman belongs to the free
silverites, comes from free silver State,
and has for years been an outspoken ad-
vocate Of free silver. Woonsocket Even
ing Call
The Call knows or ought to know that
Mr.. Carter has distinguished himself by
opposition to free silver although he
comes from Montana.
