with high-topped leather boots, and

on them as though they were but harm

rattling made by the reptiles could be
heard above the roar of the distant

they were burned to death. When the

The New York Democratic managers
have put forth a statement that Hips
election is assured by plurality of at
least IS, 600. This statement is asid to be
founded upon readings of the canvass
book, but the book-it is naively
added-is kept carefully concealed
from visiting Democrats in order
to hold each county committee up
to its promise of three weeks ago
which means of course that the
managers are afraid that il the commit
teemen see the figures that give the as
surance of victory they will be SO wild
with delight that they will neglect to
get out the voters in their districts. The
managers apparently think that there is
no danger OF the county committeeman
taking enough stock in their statements
of what the figures show to grow unduly
enthusiastic, and in that they are proba-
bly, right. Not only will the committee
men not grow enthusiastic, but the rank
and file will refuse to be deiuded by such
figures as the managers have given uut.
They are a little too absurd to deceive
any but the most ignorant. A statement
that assumes as a matter Of course that
the Republicans will not have more than
10000 majority above Harlem is suffi-
GENTLY discredited by this assumption

Hill told one of his audiences the other
night that he had decided to stand on

along that be was standing on the
party's principles. and that the most of
the rest of his fellow Democrats were not.
1t was on the ground of its repugnance
10 his party's principles that he opposed
the tariff law and the income tax. OF
late he has been supporting the law and
keeping silent in regard to the tax. II
his determination to stand by his
party's principles during the rest of the
campaign means anything it would seem

bility is that it doesn't mean anything

Why are the times better today than
a year ago? Simply because the Demo-
cratic TARIFFS getting in its work.
Why not vote to keep good thing
when we have got it?-Boston Post
If the Democratic tariff is a good thing,
as the Post assumes, the best way to
keep it is to vote the Republican ticket.
If the House is Republican there is no
possibility of it's being changed. If it
is Democratic it will be changed, unless
ali the Democratic leaders are going to
turn their backs on their declarations of
two months ago. While we do not agree
with the Post that the Democratic tariff
is good thing, we feel that it might be
worse, and that the Democrats are like
~ to make it worse if they are given the
chance. Since it cannot be amended ex-
cept by Democrats it is altogether better
that it should not be amended at all.
And obviously the way to guard against
amendment is to elect a Republican
House.
