The Wall Of the Cuckoos.

The Boston Herald, the cuckoo organ of
Massachusetts, gets really red in the face
in it's endeavor to properly voice the dis
gust, and scorn, and infinite contempt it feels
for Senator German because he has been au-
dacious enough to refuse to be a political
door mat for President Cleveland to wipe
his feet upon, and has declared, submit
| ting abundant proof of the fact, that the
Chief Executive is, after all, not so
very much better than other people.
The Maryland senator should beware. The
cuckoos are on his trail. The Herald de-
clares its very settled conviction that Mr..
German has been for some time '.dig-
ging his political grave" and expresses
the dire hope that he may become
"voting cipher"--which probably means
that he may become identified with the
Northern contingent of his party.
Modern comparisons do not avail the Her

Middle Ages" and seizes upon the "ban-
ditti" to furnish a comparison suffi-
GENTLY scathing to supply a charac-
terization of Mr.. German in keep
ing with its mood. Swept along by the tu-
multuous current of its wrath the Herald
declares that the Sphinx of Maryland lis
man whose influences, both in public and
political life, are thoroughly pernicious, as
they are controlled by personal ambition
and individual selfishness. faults or, on the
scale in which he exhibits them, crimes.
Warming up still further to its work the
Herald warns Senator German that he has,
probably "played his last card" and that
while it is true that his term of Office does
not expire until! 500, there is, nevertheless,
serious danger, if he goes on impeaching,
with his coarse and brutal frankness, the
divinity of the Stuffed Prophet, that he
may fall into innocuous desuetude.

The Maine Republican Platform,

The Republican party of Maine invite all the
people of the State who are in accord with the
principles of the following platform to unite in
a common course of action =
A financial policy not in favor of monometal
lism, either of gold or silver, as the basis of q
financial system, but international bimetallism to
be secured by strenuous efforts of the national
power. Now, and in the future all dollars shoull
be of equal value to the end that a suitable cur
rency, abundant for all wants shall secure to all
the people the full results Of their labor.
The enactment and enforcement of all laws re-
quired for the proper recognition and protection
of labor.
The American Union, its citizens and their great
privileges can be protected in no surer way than
by absolute exclusion from our country. of the
paupers, criminals, and diseased of Europe. The
party, therefore, favors the passage of such re-
strictive legislation will admit to our shores
only those immigrants who have the capacity and
desire to become good American citizens.
A firm and unbendng foreign policy, which will
prevent the interference of European powers in
the domestic government OF American states and
countries. The party sustains the course of
President Harrison and ex-Minister John l..
Stevens toward the people of the Hawaii islands,
and wholly disapproves the I'M American policy
of the Cleveland administration in relation there
to
Legislation for the benefit of the Union soldiers
of the war of the rebellion, their widows and
children, and disapproval of the present policy of
the Pension Bureau in making such laws, to a de
gree, nullity.
Full recognition of the benefits to all the people
and prohibition and we pledge our continued and
hearty support of the enforcement of the prohibi.
tory laws.
tariff for the protection of American labor
against the underpaid and psuper labor Of foreign

The Republican party calls upon all the voters
of the State TO express at the polls their disap.

features of which are maintained and added to In

Cordial approval of the course of the Maine del

sentatives. in fighting the Democratic tariff bill at

ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING

1t was once familiar sight, the man
approaching with hand organ slung
upon his back by broad strap across his
shoulder and carrying a stick which
might serve as u staff as he walked and
which presently he would use to support
crank, but he is seldom seen now; the
prevailing hand organ is the big piano or
gan on wheels.
Those swimming wild hogs of Arizona
are doubtless of the razor-back variety
seen in the pine forests in the south.
They are fleet beasts, the razor-back hogs,
and good swimmers, as are all lean
swine. Fat swine float admirably, but
when they swim their sharp fore hoofs
dig cruelty into the hanging flesh of the
breast and neck, and the swimmers are
sometimes exhausted from loss of blood.
Outcroppings Of jealousy between sail
ors and marines aboard United States
ships are common enough. The marine
is that awkward thing, a Iandsman at
sea. He is soldier, clad in a soldiers
uniform, receiving a soldiers pay, and
subject to the drill and discipline of the
army rather than of the navy. Doubt
less he is more shapely person from a
technical point Of view than the jack tar,
but he is vastly less picturesque and hu-
man. He is. on the whole, hardly 80 we'll
paid as the sailor.

confidence in the charges with rancor and
venom and would have us believe that it is
righteous indignation. They attribute the
charges wholly to German and would
use his unenviable reputation to refute
the evidence. They ignore the astounding
sugar trust coterie, German, Brice and
Smith, that must be refuted if Cleveland is
cleared of the charges, but that Jones, Vest,
Harris and Voorhees,, corroborate the evil
dence that Grover Cleveland had acquiesced
in the very amendments for which, in his
letter to Wilson, he takes the Senate to
task and publicly denounces senators. No
one has reason to declare that Vest, Harris
and Jones have not shown themselves as sin
cere as Grover Cleveland can be for stariff
reform" But we must believe that the
President exhibited bad faith to disgrace
full degree, or we must believe these sena-
tors liars. The unanimity with which these
men corroborated Germans charges, in one
or two instances with evident reluctance,
leaves no tenable ground for supposing they
misunderstood the President. In previous
comment the Journal called attention
to one Or two instances wherein the
President had exhibited similar bad
faith for the sake of extricating
himself from an unenviable position or
for the purpose of acquiring undeserved
appreciation. We are reminded of other
instances; of that historic record of dupi-
city Cleveland made in connection with the
Hawaiian affair. 1t is impossible now to
attempt to deny that at the very time Gro
yer Cleveland was protesting good will for
President Dole he was cognizant of intri-
CUES, more, was himself party to intrigues
for the restoration of the deposed Hawa-
iian Queen. We are also reminded that
in a speech of his in Massachusetts,
prior to his last election he charged
his political opponents with having col
lected and used large corruption funds
although he at that time was aware Of Mr..
Van Aliens contribution of $4,000 and for
which he later attempted to reward him at
the expense of the country's dignity and
honor. 1t is yet fresh in memory that
President Cleveland forced the hand of
the tariff committee by publicly lending his
sanction to an income tax. Yet in
this very Wilson letter he says
"You know how much 1 deprecated
the incorporation in the proposed bill Of the
income tax feature" If that isn't stultif
cation, what is it? We can easily believe
that the letter was written to one of his
New York friends who is strenuously op-
posed to the income tax. 1t is difficult to
believe that Cleveland is prophet, but his
letter to Wilson bears the date of July 2
and the contents bear the stamp at least of
recent revision. There is record for du-
plicity behind President Cleveland that can
not be effaced by any attempt to disproye
the charges hurled at him in the Senate in
an attack unparalleled in the history of that
body. ~:
