A DIscREDlTED GANG.

Machine Politicians Trying to Bolster
Beaten Party.
The republican league convention
which met in Louisville was nothing
but q gathering of machine politicians.
Their object being to try to find ont
where they are at
There was no need of a convention
for the purpose. Whether they &c
knowledge it or not, they are down
and out-very low down and very far
out.
The gathering was not only one of
machine politicians, but of beaten and
thoroughly discredited politicians, men
who to-day do not command the conf
dence of the rank and file even of the
party which supported them last No
vember. They are striving to keep
themselves in place as party leaders or
factional bosses.
1t is useless. A beaten machine or
ganization is practically worthless.
The bosses may give themselves a vote
of confidence; they may resolve to keep
on fighting for high taxes, for extrava-
giant appropriations, for force bills and
a cheap dollar, but it will avail moth
ing. The more prominent the old
crowd makes itself the fewer followers
it will muster.
The people of the country distrust
them all and despise a good many of
them. Their day is past. They are
fossils. Their meeting is of no more
account than meeting of the beaten
generals in any other lost cause.-N. Y.

THE TREASURY POLICY.
Public Business Before tho Interests q
Private individuals.

Private individuals.
Secretary Carlisle has stated explicit
1y that he intends to maintain the
credit of the government and the parity
of the two precious metals at all haz-
ards. Having said this, he has been de-
voting himself to the public business,
and has not attempted to control the
course of prices on the exchanges, nor
has he felt impelled to rush to the re-
lief of those fellows who happen to get
caught on the wrong side of the specu-
lative markets. He has not felt under
obligations to tell what he will do in
contingencies which have not yet pre-
sented themselves. This may not be a
profound policy, but we think it is. 1t
is no doubt very painful to those who
would exert themselves to defeat the
plans of the treasury, if they were re-
vealed in advance; but these people can
not learn too soon that they are no
longer partners of the government,
and, consequently. they are not en-
titled to exclusive information of what
the treasury intends to do. The policy
of the treasury is to conduct the public
business in the interest of the people of
the whole country. If that is not
profound policy. it has, at least, the
merit of being an honest one.-N. Y

Free raw materials have the right OF
way on the track of tariff reform legis-.
lation. The duty on raw wool entering.
into the manufacture of clothing is now
about ffty-five per cent When that
duty is removed and free wool is an ac-
complished fact, the change must
greatly stimulate the manufacture OF a
better grade of home manufactured
goods, and ut the same time encourage
sheep raising: Free iron and free coal
viii effectively check the monopolistic
combines of the Pennsylvania barons,
and give 10 New En4land's great manu-
featuring interests q fair chance again.
The work of revising the tariff in de-
tail will be done conservAtively and

briefest possible delay in securing for
the country the great advantage that
free raw materials will bring all along

OPINIONS AND POINTERS.

The republican party is trying to
modernize itself by getting in line with
the crinoline movement.-St. Louis Re-
public.
President Clevelands will may
accepted as a finality.-Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
The republican party was repudi-
ated for cause, and must remain in re-
tirement until it gets on the side of the
people -Detroit Free Press.
Tho less Clarksonism there is in
the republican party for the next three
or four years, the better it will be for
the party.-St. Louis Globe Democrat
(Rep.)
1t is amusing to note how repub-
lean papers are patting Pennoyer on
the back for his recent insult to Presi-
dent Cleveland. When this pig-headed
governor insulted President Harrison
the republican papers whistled another
tune.-St Paul Globe.
The same organs and organettes
of the republican party that were COM
planning because the president was be-
sieged by a horde of Office seekers are
now seeking to create a sentiment
against him because he has demanded
the time necessary for the performance
of his highest duties rs chief executive
of the nation. When these same papers
begin to indorse. President Cleveland it
will be time to suspect that there is
something wrong in his policy.-Detroit
Free Press.
After ex-President Harrison had
&v h. Ss01A -,
a forced march toward Louisville, he
announced with knowing grin that
he would remain at home. He will
leave the ambitious warriors to grind
their own axes while pretending to
work out the salvation OF the z. o. p.
He has got the other fellows into free
fight, while he can pose as the statesman
who thought too much of his party to
enter into any such unseenly scramble.
Your Uncle Benjamin has lost none of
his sleekness.-N. Y. World
The platform adopted by the re.
publican league convention is some
thing of blanket affair. 1t declares
faith" and points with PRIDE" as u.s.
ual, but it does not, furnish much new
food for thought. The only features
that are worth mentioning are the rec
concentrations in favor of annexing
Hawaii, the passage of the antioption
bill and a constitutional amendment
making president Ineligible for Sec
ond successive term. This last is not
bad recommendation, and if it included
a six-year term of office it would be even
better.-Louisville POST
1t really appears, THAT the repub.
lican journals have forgotten that there
was an election. last November, which
gave to the democratic party control OF
the government This party is antag-
onistic to the late administration on
every great issue. 1t will rs speedily
as possible, not conserve but destroy
the fabric, foreign and domestic, con-
structed with SO much labor by the
Harrison administration It is war,
not peace, which the denoeratic party
offers the republican party. and don't

DON'T ABUSE YOUR LIVER.

The liver is hard worked organ and

the largest gland in the body and is
mainly concerned with the functions

has other important duties So varied
ard complex is its work that most peo-

malinged organ, and has many things

innocent. Actual disease of the liver
is a serious matter, but, it is compare

worry and grumble, if we are torpid, if

dolent and incomplete. Deleterious
products become stored up in our .sys-

actual disease following the frequent
