OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

sB The democratic party may not. as whole. be very good at orthogra- phy, but it at least knows how to spell ruin. Toledo Blade.
 sB Let the fact be borne in minG for future service that the republicans gave more votes for repeal in the senate than the democrats Louis Globe Demo- crat
 r sB The adjournment of congress was hailed with delight, for it gives the country month in which to recuperate before the active agitation of tariff tinliering by the national legislature N. !. Mail and Express.
 sY Last year democratic organs cried calamity. This year their president started the same cry in his call for an rextra session of congress- Some way or other calamity and democracy will keep together er-Cleveland Leader.
 eB Democrats don't seem half as anxious to get after that "robber tariff as they were in 1892. They have dreamed dreams" and ''seen signs" since then, and are likely to have other experiences.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
 sB The fact is significant that it has taken the democrats about eight months to carry out a single pledge of the Chicago platform; and they couldn't have done it in that time if the repub- licans had refused to help them.-St. Louis be-Democrat
 @' cS The democratic press is feeling" the dear public on the subject of a na- tional inquisitorial income tax. The party will feel swift and healthy kick from the public at the very first cleo tion after the enactment of law of that hatcharacter.-Minneapolis Tribune.
 .g"Van Alen. the Newport anglo maniac, who paid fifty thousand dollars for the Italian mission, has been con- iirmed and the bargain is complete. His appointment, the must unblushing barter of an office for cash in the his tory of our government, has cost Presi- dent Cleveland the respect of all citi zens. Albany Journal
 .3 Democratic free-trade organs can make no headway in declaring that ''the tariff is still in force" It is true the law is not repealed, but no man
 
 | that every manufacturer in the land has for a year been shaping his busi- ness, or had it shaped for him by re- ccivcr, to meet democratic free trade. It is the open enmity of the democracy to the American manufacturer that has done the mischief in advance of repeal. Chicago Inter Ocean.
 sS~ S~The record of the special session is not one out of which patriotic en. couragement can be drawn. The fact has been made apparent that the two houses are controlled by men who have neither the ability to legislate wisely nor the patriotic inspiration to do SO. They are dominated entirely by selfish and unworthy impulses and motives The counry can expect from them very little that is desirab able and almost everything that will be mischievous and damaging to the general welfare. IN. Y. Advertiser t's
 GB The wrangle in which the house of representatives became involved, and which lasted until the moment of adjournment, was typical of the char. acter of the present congress as mani. fested in one branch or the other ever since the extraordinary session began. From what has taken place thus far no rehecting person can look to the com. ing regular session with placidity. II business is to be transacted decentiy and In order there must be sweeping changes in rules, and some members in ooth houses must put severe curb on their natural propensities. Y. Trib.
