PARAGRAPHIC POINTERS.

President Harrison declares that
he is not a candidate for the presi-
dency. If he were nominated we are
inclined to think that he would con-
tinue to be of that opinion after the
votes were counted.-Buffalo CONNER
cial (Rep.).
The republican press is felicitat-
ing itself on the fact that the United
States supreme court has reversed six
of Mr.. Gresham's judicial decisions.
But perhaps the fact is harder on the
supreme court than on Gresham.-St
Louis Republic.
At recent county conventions in
Georgia resolutions indorsing the adj
ministration have been adopted. They
show that the vast majority of demo-
Gratis in the state are untainted with
popu1ism, soreheadism and the other
dangerous 'isms" the propagation of
which is being attempted in some quar-
ters.-Savannah News.
If ex-President Harrison is so
violently opposed to gerrymanders he
should give little attention and ad-
vice to the republican members of the
Ohio legislature. These statesmen are
now considering a bill to gerrymander
the judicial districts of Ohio SO that it
will take thirty-one thousand seven
hundred democratic votes to elect a
democratic judge. while sixty-fve hun
dred votes will elevate republican to
the bench--N. Y. World.
If the American laborer has ap-
proxinately received his share of the
product of his labor through the oper-
alton of the tariff, why have we these
exhibitions of organized Eaga bondage
under Coxey, Kelly and others, while
the country as whole has grown
richer? What is the meaning of the
presence in this country of thousands
of Hungarians. Italians, Poles and
other foreign laborers of the cheapest
class? Why this constant succession of
strikes and labor riots, caused by re-
auctions of wages, or efforts to sub
stitute foreign contract labor for
American labor; disturbances that have
been most frequent and most trouble
some while the party of protection
was in the full flush of power? Why
have wages been SO steadily reduced in
industries most highly protected?-

he would even look in at her while she
ate her macaroni in the Italian won-
ans room, and thought of her home
far across the sea and all the pretty
vine-covered cottages and the light
blue sky and happy days before her
mother and father died and left her.
And some days when she could not
play and sing, but would wander round
the streets, thinking of her old home,
only to go to the Italian woman at
night and be beaten and sent supper

the full dollar, there would Be this boy

Italian woman did beat her and starve
her; it was worth that to be even with

A week after coming to this country
she had learned to count the American
money SO as to know when she had a

would not play or sing another note

dirty children. The younger of these
little ones was a boy, sickly and weak
looking. He was stretching out his
grimy hands, whining for the high
priced bunch of grapes.
The older boy tried to quiet him. The
other child, a girl, said, persuasively:
''It's only to Look at, Bobbie. It'll
make Bobbie sick to eat it."
''Bobbie's sick. and he wants the
boofie grapes. Bobbie wants his main-
ma, too.'s
The Dago girl leaning against the
electric light pole laughed aloud. She
twirled Ger accordion as though she
were about to begin a tune for which
the peopse would pay her to stop-for
she played badly and sang worse. But
she did not play the tune. This was
the time for her revenge, and it was
sweet to her There was a tag on the
bunch of grapes-one dollar. In her
pocket-the result of a long days
tramping, playing and singing till feet,
hands and throat were all tired-were
ninety-eight cents, just two cents less
than the price of the grapes She had
only to pull out her accordion and earn
the other two cents; then she might
buy the grapes in the face of the enemy.
For this older boy was the toreent of
her life. He lived in the same court
where she lived, and from the day, two
months ago, when she landed in Amer
lea and had been taken to the Italian
woman who agreed to beat her if she
did not bring home dollar every day,
he had Knocked at her, thrown stones at
her, called her names, till sometimes she
had felt like falling on him and biting
him. Through him all the other boys
in the court had been hard to her, un-
til lately she was glad to run out in the
early morning before they were up and
not go back again until it was night and
they could not see her. While she was
making her ear-splitting music far
away from the court she would some
times think of this boy and grind her

UNRELIABLE PLEDGES.
How the Republicans Are Obstructi-ls
Tariff Legislation.

How the Republicans Are Obstructive
Tariff Legislation.
An illustration of the republican,
programme of obstruction to the pro
posed tariff bill was furnished tbs
other day when Senator Allison novel
to amend the first paragraph in ths
chemical schedule by restoring the
rate of duty on acetic acid provided in
the Mckinley bill. On this long dis
cussion ensued, and the amendment
was finally defeated, only to give place
to a second involving the same pril-ci-
pie, which gave excuse for a renewal
of the debate. In this way the entire
day was consumed and no result was
reached. The tariff bill covers several
thousand articles. Upon each one
of these the same course NAV
pursued from one day to g
month being consumed in the
discussion of each. The present
generation of senators may pass away
and give place to their grandchil-
lren, and still the talk may proceed,
and when the millennium shall have be-
Fun the same discussion will be in
Progress
This incident illustrates how little
reliance can be placed upon the pledges
of the republicans. Some time ago at
caucus regularly called it was agreed
that no factious amendments would be
offered and no fillibustering methods
employed to delay action on the bill.
Yet at the beginning of the debate this
pledge has been deliberately violated
and system inaugurated that prom
Uses to be effective in defeating any
action of whatever nature. 1t has
often been said that there is honor
among thieves; it. has been often
demonstrated that there is no honor
among the republicans in the United
States senate
There is every reason to believe that
tie action of the caucus of republican
senator's was taken with a deliberate
purpose to conceal their real purpose
from the public, and with the express
Intention of paying no heed to either
the letter or the spirit of the promise
tlley made The impatience of the
country for action on the tariff was too
manifest to fail of recognition. 1t was
thought expedient to allay this impa-
thence in a manner by making fair
promises. But it was an entirely diff
fsrent thing when it came to carrying
cut those promises Such thing was
never contemplated
1t is well that the republicans have
been unmasked and their true policy
revealed to the people The response
oility for further delay will rest upon
their shoulders The democrats are
ready for immediate action They viii
vote for the bill as it stands to-day, not
because they approve of its every de-
tail, but because they recognize the
fact that 1t is the best they can do IN
der existing circumstances
Unless the republicans change their
plans they will have long account to
settle with the people No man guilty
OF impeding the progress of this bill
deserves, or will receive, the public
confidence, and he may make up his
mind to bid farewell to the scene of
his present activities or inactivities at
the close of his present term The
