THE HERALD.

The New York Herald has been the
most interesting paper published in
America since few weeks before the
election. It has also been of very great
service to the country.
We do not feel inclined to bestow too
much commentator upon the shrewd
stroke Of policy that turned such tide
OF voters Clevelandward, but since the
election the Herald has assuredly won
for itself the right to claim the hearty
approval of all clear-headed business
men by its vigorous advocacy of the
repeal of the Sherman silver law.
1t requires real journalistic genius TO
discover the one cause that needs strong
support and energetic championine.
The Herald struck the bull'seye exactly
when it took up the silver question and
began to labor for the repeal of the
Sherman law.
The Herald is great paper; and Just
now. with no election pending, we are
inclined to say also that the Herald is a
good paper.

Announcement was made Yesterday
morning that the preparations of the
French government We're so complete
that it was not possible for a street
demonstration to reach serious propor-
tions.
Closely following this statement came
telegraphic advices declaring Paris to be
In a state of insurrection, with armed
and uncomfortable mobs surginp
through her streets, and the country
without ministry, which had bent its
head to the popular storm and passed
into retirement.
There has been no rioting or serious
demonstrations against the government
but If there had been it would not be
surprising
The French have ever been an inn.
petuous people, but who can say that
the liberation which has marked their
reception of each new proof of fraud,
corruption and duplicity until it in.
volved President Carnot would have
been exceeded even in conservative
Rhode Island:
No serious consequences are appre-
hended for the republic. Though of
comparatively immature age the French
people have had enough of experience
under its fostering care to have become
thoroughly welded to it, and, as was
remarked in the News yesterday, the
republic will emerge from amid the
dangers which now beset it, clarified
and victorious.

A MORALLY murray DAY.

There was plenty of gruesome news
yesterday.
There was the big fire at Boston, at
which at least one life was lost, and it
was feared several iremen were buried.
There was the distressing news from
Paris, the horrible mine disaster in
England, three men killed at Pittsburg,
news of bloody vendetta in Indiana,
report OF the ravages of typhus mt New
York, man burned to death, reported
capture OF an empress by brigands, a
dynamite bomb thrown in Berlin, ETC.,
etc.
The faithful reader of yesterdays
NEWS would need to call philosophy to
his aid to enable him to sleep peace
fully. He would not need TO dwell
upon the stories of almost unbelievable
corruption in Brooklyn. in France and
elsewhere, to fill him with concern for
the future of the race, and make him
almost wish that Lieut.. Totten's theory
had worked.
1t was murky day, morally, but
there was the same amount of sweet
ness and light in the world as usual
probably little more. Only the news
papers were not called upon to elabor-
ate and spread them before readers.
