MORTON'S UNFORTUNATE EX-
AMPLES.

1t is easy after reading the speech that
Secretary Morton delivered last night to
understand why it is the farmers Of the
United States have so emphatically
repudiated the boss farmer of the Cleve-
land dynasty. The farmers of the United
States are men of common sense and
are endowed with reasoning faculties.
They are quick to detect the real from
from the sham, the good from the bad,
sense from nonsense. His speech last
night gives the best evidence possible of
the soundness Of their judgement in re-
pudiating him.
He displayed his gross ignorance on
many points last night before the Young
Mems Democratic Club of Boston at
their annual banquet. IL seems strange
that an intelligent man should, even in
the excitement of a campaign, make
statements absolutely contrary TO facts
before a mixed audience and it is
much stranger that an intelligent
man in addressing a club COM
posed Of intelligent young men of
his own party should willfully
undertake TO palm off fiction in the
place of truth. An example or two of
his absolute misstatements will suffice.
He said, "There must always be
an exchange of ideas preceding
trade. Aud trade is the forerunner
of civilization, which at last.
through the transportation, distributes
intellectual products as well as
material commodities. No statute has
ever been proposed to prevent the
thoughts of pauper coming in competi-
tion with the cerebrations Of a million
aire.
"The intellectual markets of the world
have laid no protective taxes for the
purpose Of preventing competition be-
tween the unlettered and the learned,
the poor and the rich. In the great
mental marts, on the intellectual boards
Of trade Of the globe. there is no protec-
tion to the thinking industry"
What an absolute untruth. The
thoughts Of the psuper or the

THE Democrats in Congress are in q
quandary. There isn't anything un-
usual about that for the Democrats,
but it's serio-comic just the same. In

can't count it without adopting the
much assailed method of the Hon.
Thomas b. Reed and 80 giving that
genial humorist something new to
merrily gloat over. In the Senate, un-
less cloture rule Is adopted, there is no
way of reaching vote on the tariff bill
for three or four months, and the Dem
ocratic record estops the majority party
from consistently voting for cloture.

AND THE HEAVENS wEPT.

The Boston Young Mems Democratic
Club must have had lugubrious time
at its banquet last evening. The de-
spondency that hung over the meeting
was so thick that j. Sterling Morton,
the boss farmer Of the Democratic Adj
ministration, couldn't cut it with bush
scythe, and Collector Warren, Mr.. Cleve-
lands latest Federal appointee in Bos-
ton, went off home with his undelivered
speech in his pocket. The meeting was
ostensibly held TO do honor to the men,
ory of the Democracy's patron saint,
whom the Democracy followed in every
thing but his principles. In reality
the meeting was an attempt on the
part of the Administration TO
offset the effect of Hills speech by an
anti-Ifill demonstration. The speakers
had evidently all had their cues
given them, and the first speaker,
the president of the club, led off
in the TRADE against Hill by
the declaration that che is not true
Democrat who, whether from private
pique or other reason, whether in the
national Senate or elsewhere, publicly
assails a Democratic measure or Dem
ocratic President 1t didn't need a
guide board to tell the assembled Demo-
cracy that he had reference to the senior
Senator from New York.
He was followed by Secretary Morton,
who very adroitly balanced himself on
the fence so far as Hill was concerned.
He had come from Washington, and he
could not rouse himself up to the point
of denouncing anybody. He is too init
mately associated with the Great
Failure to grow enthusiastic, even in the
denunciation Of his enemies.
But when the Hon. George M. Stearns
of Chicopee got on his feet, tho real
cuckoo song of the evening was sung.
He confessed that he hadn't read life
of Thomas jefferson for 40 years, which
probably explained his ignorance of the
protectionist principles of jefferson, but
he was well posted on Cleveland and he
could cuckoo every time the White House
clock struck. His tariff reform princi-
piles were concisely put: 81 am fadi-
cal tariff reformer, but | don't know
anything about the tariff. / sim
ply turn over and say Il stand by
the administration. Bring in your
nd -
And prolonged applause greeted this
sparkling gem OF oratory. this enun-
citation of principles, this evidence
OF devotion TO the party. Mr.
Stearns still further proved his
utter cuckooism by declaring "And
here is this controversy about
Hawaii. Who knows anything about
thats don't. But said to myself, Il
will bet my hat the Presidents right"
(Applause.) IL he was wrong, l know
it was an honest mistake and / am
Jeffersonian Democrat enough to stand
by him IL he was wrong. (Applause.)
And so again / reach out my meta
pborical hand, and say: Mr.. President,
l am with you and the tswny queen
also"
And laughter greeted this witty sally.
He then paid his respects, in accord
ance with the program outlined, to SEN
ator Hill, concerning whom he said:
HE has been heavier load to us than
we could stand up under. But ven
ture n prophecy-neither he nor his as
sociate viii dare TO vote against the

I should like to know why II In that SO many
persons seem to delight In beilttling the female
sex In this column instead OF considering 1t a
duty and an honor to uphold and elevate them.
Time and again we assailed with letters
from would-be critics condemning women for any
little failing they may possess, or that these
critics imagine they possess. Much more to their
credit would 1t be did they extol their good quail
ties and endeavor to make them objects Of admira-
tion instead Of advising their fellow men to be-
ware OF them as II they were dangerous animals.
II women have fault nine out OF every ten

she inherits the taste from a drunken father, and
II she marres for wealth or title she only follows
mans example. All OF us are too ready to con-
denim others for shortening without considering
whether we, ourselves, possess the same. Better
for everybody did follow that old maxim:
