Joe Manley says he thinks it very
doubtful if the Republicans control the
next House. Manley resembles Bob
Cook, coach of the Yale crew, in great
measure. Just before the great Harvard
Yale boat races Bob Cook invariably
comes out with disconsolate predictions
concerning his team. 1t is always
weak" and "changes are soon to be
made" but this year" he sees "little
hope of pulling out" and then the blues
come to the front and rush across the
finish line several lengths to the good.
So it is with Chairman Manley. lie
generally remarks: "lf we get $4,000
majority in Maine this year | shall be
satisfied, but i hardly dare hope for so
much," and then Maine Republicans
come up smiling and Joe smiles with
them and their $4,000 to 30, 900 majority.
So his prediction just now is an added
sign of encouragement, and the Repub-
licans may take courage and hope to
pull out with handsome majority in
the House after this falls elections.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
Which win lie Do?


Tho Hon. Grover Cleveland, President of
the United statos reached Washington last
night after an absence of seven days. Deduct
ing Sunday from this period OF Presidential
recreation. we have left six working DAYS
during which the average profits of the Sugar
and Whisky Trusts, owing to Mr.. Cleveland's
inaction regarding the tariff bill were at least
$4,000 daily. That is, II Mr.. Cleveland
signs the measure which he has publicly de-
nounced as the fruit of "perhdy and dis
honor" his trip to Gray Gables will be worth
something more than s4,0O0OOO 10 the two
greatest trusts In the United states.
There is no doubt whatever as TO the source
Of the profits which the Sugar Trust is ac-
cumulating by importing raw suger before the
40 per cent duty taxes effect or OF those
which the whiskey Trust is piling up by taking
wls.key out OF bond TO escape the extra tax OF
20 cents per gallon which the new bill inn
poses. Every mill Of these millions will come
from the pockets OF tho American people. The
national treasury will be defrnudcd, the people
robbed, and the trusts will add vast amount
TO their already enormous wealth.

THE CUCKOO'S SONG.

The voice of the cuckoo is heard
through the land, but no where is it
heard clearer or louder than in the office
Of the Boston Herald, where there is
Gagged rare aud beautiful specimen of
this newly priced song bird.
II Cleveland frowns, the voice Of The
Herald cuckoo is silent, and he sits upon
his perch and mopes. If the Cleveland
sun-god smiles, The Herald cuckoo
bursts into a Joyous carol Of praise !;
If the voice Of its prophet says white is
black, daylight Immediately becomes
darkness, and The Herald cuckoo goes
to sleep; If It's master losses it lump of
sugar 1t swallows il with an appealing
glance suggesting largess of whiskey.
Through his ever changing moods il
follows its great Ideal, approving that
which he approves and rejecting thas
which meets with his disapprobation.
This explains why. The Herald today
smooths the way for the Cleveland act
OF cowardico in sneaking behind the
time limit TO allow the perfidy bill 10
become law. The Herald saws,
Holding the views that he has ex-
pressed, Mr. Cleveland is justified in
declining 10 put his name TO the
