POLITICAL NOTES.

The sincerity of the cutlery raised by the
Republican press against 1.-THE shotgun
policy in the south may. be accurately
JUDGED by the applause which this same
pharisaical press is bestowing on Populist
Kolb and his Republican allies for threat
ening to forcibly seize the government in
Alabama and induct themselves into the
offices.-Lansnig (Mich.) Journal
Commenting on Germanys retaliatory
tariff policy, the Chicago Times says:
New we shall have to take our :nedi-
cine. Of course, we may retaliate. We
may exclude German wines. and may
expect in return another dose of our pat

The collection of the income tax can be
defeated. no doubt, in the manner indicat-
ed, but no man who thinks he has politi-
cal future will venture to defeat it in that
way without thinking twice The reVen-

While the governor of Alabama and
kolb, who wants to be the governor, talk
to. fear a conflict. Things are no longer
what they were in the south. Tillman and
Butler engaged in verbal abuse almost
without a parallel, and yet they did not
changed epithets in way to charm a
BoWery crowd, and yet they did not fight.
Governor Jones will swear and call out
the militia and Candidate Kolb will swear
and then go home and lie down.-New

had not issued his terrific pronuncia-
mento. 1t is hardly a subject of casual
comment in that capital. 1t must be a
sore disappointment to the gallant cap

ton and that nobody considers him dam
gerous.-A tlanta Journal.
The whole drift of Car Reeds speech
in Boston. Thursday night, was to the
effect that the hard times We're due to
the new tariff. 1t is the song the Repub-
lican. organists have ground out inces-
sanity during the late campaign, and
Which they evidently mean to keep up,
is the hard times began under the Har

self attributed his defeat in 1892 to them.
After the Mckinley bill was passed, no
change was made. or could have been
made until the passage of the new tariff
bill. Will some high tariff advocate in
form us how a tariff bill passed in 1894
could have created the hard times which
defeated Harrison in 1892? Don't all an
swer at once.-Minneapolis Times.

of the country. But there is no danger

much sense to engage in any such per-
