cerned, he has been wise, faithful,
energetic, painstaking executive. His
resolution was well illustrated by his
resistance to the powerful appeals of
O'Neil's agents to secure mitigation
of his sentence. The zeal of the great
Offenders attorneys was fired by the
hope of reward proportional to the de-
gree in which they should succeed in
scaling down the fine. Repeated at
tempts were made to wiring unwarranted
clemency from the governor, but all
were unsuccessful. The last penny of
the enormous fine the offender had
piled up was paid, and the term of i'm
prisonment was served out to the last
moment. The governor has known
when to be firm, and when clemency
aud probation might judiciously and
mercifuly be granted,
unGovernor Fuller has ended "a very
busy and very useful term in the ex-
ecutive chair. The state will long re-
member his administration, and the
best of good wishes will go with him
into his retirement.

Note and Comment.

THE roaG', perennial subject of lesis-
lation progressive and reactionary, the
militia, The pubic institutions, "double
taxation" woman suffrage, license and
local option, weekly payments, with
other stock subjects of abOrtve legisla-
tive labor, will undoubtedly be forced to
the front, and the eight run of
the legislative train will end with the
customary wreck of many ideal schemes
of craftsmanship and benevolence.
THE legislatures Of 1888, 1890 and
1892 passed school laws completely
revolutionizing the then existing tdu-
cational systems. The law of 1888, and
the piece of very faulty patch. work
which superseded it in 1890, were ex-
ceedingly Unpopular. The law of 1888
was not left in operation long enough
to test its real merits. The legislation
of 1890 made b matter worse, but
the statute OF 1892 made that la
which would have saved much trouble
in school matters had the people been
willing, in 1886, or at any prior sessic n
of the Legislature when the town sys-
TEN was proposed, to adopt that sys-
tenn. Very likely the practical work
ing Of the law of 1892 has developed
some minor defects. The system,
however, is all right, and the law, if it
needs amending at all, should be
changed only in those minor particu.
lars which experience has proved to be
defective.

sponsible, in its full share, for the very
wrong 1t so pharisaicall, deplores.
What the Pullman company has done
on large scale, every manufacturer ia
the country has done ona smaller scale.
With each it has been merely ques.
ton of reducing wages or-for their
workmen-of doing worse. 1t is a
question of no work or wage iniuri-
ously low, for business cannot be per-
manently carried on at loss or without
profit. Business must have its reward,
or there will be no business and no
work for the laborer. The Herald can
not put business in its present sorry
plight and then turn round and demand
that it pay the wages it had given under
the tavoring conditions existing before
the democratic and mugwump triumph
in 1892 Not until The old conditions
of republican rule are restored can bust
ness be carried on without injury TO the
laborer " in his health, in his pro Jerty,
or in his living" Speed the day of res

In discussing the origin of the Chi
cago strike the Boston Herald finds the
Pullman company guilty of great
wrong TO its workmen, because, in TAX
ing the contracts at loss, the company
did not bear the further loss that would
have resulted by maintaining wages at
the old rate. Ia this connection the
Herald says: Bat, on the other hand,
there was broader principle which the
employers recognized, and which the
public is slowly recognizing since this
strike took place. 1t is that business
shall not be carried on to the injury of
your neighbor, ia his health, in his
property, or in his standard of living"
This is the foundation stone of the re-
publican economic edifice.
The reduction of wages at Pullman
was the logical consequence of the
triumph OF the policy which the Herald
has very strenuously advocated and is
upholding to-day. The victory of the
Herdld's false economic doctrines
brought with it financial disaster aud
business depression. The passage of a
law embodying, even in a mild form,
the Herold'S economic dogmas has
closed mills, aud kept closed mills that
have not been opened for twelve
month. Under the new economic con-
diuons resulting from even the partial
success of the Herald s teachings, some
manufactures must remain perma'
nently closed, aud the men and women
who earned their bread in them must
seek employment elsewhere wding
out, possibly, other breadwinners - OF
they must remain idle and become the
objects OF charity.
The condition of continuous employ.
ment all over the land is wage that i:
an injury to the laborer :. in his health
in his property, or in his standard OF
living" The Herald is directly re-

THOMAS CARLYLE tells us that" mis-
cry, if heavy enough, will prove d.
dactic." The misery inflicted on the
country during the last nineteen
months by the Cleveland administra-
ton would seem to be heavy enough
to teach a bourbon democrat, or even
an idolatrous mugwump. Adversely
teaches, but it is kind of instruction
not we'll adapted to inspire gratitude.
1t is an expensive school, but the
thousand ban kruptcies and idle mills
prove the utter incapacity of the demo-
cratic party better than oratory can.
But it is most singular fact that the
only benefit derived from the demo-
cratic rule is such as can be got out of
public calamities.

WILLIAM BLAKE, when stroke oar
for the Harvard crew, wittily re-
marked that he found that his studies
seriously interfered with his rowing.
Studies or studying that interferes with
rowing, baseball, football, or any
other "athletic" sports, should be
stricken out of the curriculum or ex.
plunged from the requirements of every
alleged constitution of, learning; or
such studies or studying should be held
to play second fiddle to Catholics. p"

The downward plunge of the de-
mocracy has been registered at every
election held since Cleveland 8 inaugu-
ration, and each election hHrls the de-
feated organic alton from one low deep
to lower. After Vermont aud Maine
comes Georgia, which in 1890 was
democratic by 100000 majority, in
1892 by 81 900 majority, with vote so
close that the party managers will be
happy to be assured of $1,000 or 10000
plurality. The party has lost several
representatives. in congress, which the
populisjs have gained. The impetus

the day of his death the love and adj

shelves of the common people, as well

these men had written. They were
read by the common people and were
understood and appreciated by them.
With the genius of heaven they had
the hearts of mortals, and in all their
writings showed their kinship with
their fellowmen. By the people their
departure from this world has been sin

consolation in the mercy that gave

THERE is theory that walking is
nothing but an arrested fall that is, as
one steps he falls forward, and as be
steps again he RECEIVERS himself. Some
have applied this theory to the human
race aud insisted that it progresses
through series of tumbles and recov-
cries. We do not wholly accept this
theory. Especially do we not believe
that it is according to the order of Di-
vine Providence that the only way this
great republic can advance is, once in a
quarter of century, to be knocked
PROSTATE by the democratic party, and
then for the republicans to strain their
energies for years in putting the nation
on its feet again. Whenever the re-
publican party has been in power, there
has been steady and constant advance
