NEWS AND NOTES.

GeO. FREQ Williams told the people of
Leominster that not only is business
good, but he was warranted in declaring
that ian unprecedented BOOM exists.
Our manufacturers and merchants and
wage earners will all unite in saying that
if this is boom" for heavens sake
give us depression.-Lowell Courier

a week from tonight, the employees of
the White House ought to place bag in
Growers room, such as pugilists punch
when they are training. Otherwise he
may drive everybody out of the White
House.-Worcester Telegram. Wonder

No man of any political party could
witness spectacle of the late campaign,
without contrasting in bitter humiliation
and just resentment the present Admin
istration with its record of dishonor, of
lmbecility and of ruin with those four
years in which the pToudest boast of an
cient Rome, "Civis Romanus sum-" was
equalled in might and meaning by the
simple sentence, 81 am an American cit
izen;" without comparing that triumph
ant march of great nation to the music
of throbbing engines, whirring, looms
and ringing anvils with the stagnatiOn of
an impoverished people, hearing in the
midst of idle machinery and gloomy
homes the cheers of British millionaires
waited exultant across the sea; without
measuring former glory by present
shame; former prosperity by present dis
tress; Republican craftsmanship, In
tegrity and patriotism by Democratic
treason, incapacity and corruption. rt

and applause.) 1t did not require a
prophet to say that it would turn out so,
for these Democratic representatives
chosen from these widely scattered dis
tricts over the whole country had been
pledging themselves to any view of the
tariff question or of the financial question
that seemed to them in their respective
districts likely to bring them few votes.
(Applause.) When they came together
they were embarrassed by these pledges
and promises, and the confusion of
tongues at the building of the Tower of
Babel was scarcely greater than the con-
fusion of voices we had at Washington
when the tariff bill came to be cons dered.
(Applause.) He who would ride in a
coach would do well to look to the team
as we'll as to the driver; and it is abso-
lutely essential to the safety and comfort
of the passengers that the driver and the
horses should have the same objective
point. (Applause.)
Hoods Sarsaparilla, acting through

When Ambassador Bayard declares
that the Mckinley tariff actually cut off
revenue by isolatlng the United States
from the rest of the world" he makes a
sorry spectacle of himself in the eyes of
his fellow-cOuntrymen, who remember
that under that act our foreign commerce
reached the very highest figures in our
National history. Such Grass nonsense is
to be expected, perhaps, from the ordi-
nary stump orator, but for not the fore
most diplomatic representative of the
United States.
