pOpulists in the south are getting on
their war paint for the grand cam
palgn.
Rochester Chronicle: The slaughter,
house of Henry Watterson's magma
ton was a palace compared with the
reality.
New York Recorder: AS it stands
now, the Wilson bill is the greatest
sugar-cOated economic bill that ever
came before congress.
indianapolis Journal. In the news
papers the COXey movements have
moved over to sixth page near the
bottom of the column.
Cincinnati Commercial: Fifty cents
a bushel for wheat is getting pretty
low down. but it has to be on level
with the party in power.
Kansas City Journal: Mr. COXey
might be an ornament to the present
congress, but the next congress is 60
ing to be quite q different body.
Ohio State Journal: After all Gen
eral CoXey might carry the eighteenth
Ohio district for congress. A district
that can originate the COXey move
ment needs to be watched.
Kalamazoo Telegraph: Mr. Cleveland
sees more and more plainly that he
should not have attempted a second
term. He would have been happier
healthier and greater man without it..
Cleveland Leader: Dave" Hill is
not noisy nowadays. but his silence
does not reasSure the president and
his friends. They are mindful of that
time-honored maxim about Satan's sue
cess in finding something in the mis-
chief line for idle hands to do, and
that other adage to the effect that the
still cow kicks over the pail
Cincinnati Enquirer: Who says that
it would be cowardly to go back to the
people without having accomplished
anything in the direction of tariff re-
form-withOut, at least, having passed
a bill of some kind? The lack of cOur-
age is upon the part of those who
want to do something without regard
for the right or the wrong of the ac-

New York Sun: The two income
taxes are beautiful specimens of class
legislation. The tax on individual in
comes of more than $4,000 robs the
well to do. The tax on the net income
of corporations robs a multitude of
small depositors and shareholders. The
two taxes are fines on thrift and &C,
emulation, and concessions to the
tramp and the anarchist.
New York Commercial Advertiser:
Chicag tugboat men have set ,the
country an example of wisdom. They
have agreed to accept a cut in wages
until July, when they believe that
business will begin to improve. That
! is to say. they believe that by that
! date congress will have taken it's hand

! New York Press: The venerable Mr.
Harris rarely allows a day to pass
without Offering some fresh demon
stration of his inability to hold a quo

emergency duty. Mr.. Harris swing:
his whip vigorously enough, but the
trouble is that the lash is altogether
too light and short.
Cincinnati Times-Star: The actor
of the Chicago Union league in unani
mously kicking out of their humble
w. G. P. Breckenridge, as a maj
wholly unfit to associate with gentle
men. will not be apt to have
strengthening effect on Breck's lopside'
fences in the seventh district. Evel
the friends of the Kentucky minotau
are not altogether Indifferent to wha
the outside world may think Of then
and their candidate.
Boston Transcript: The latest mil

circle was so poor in 1884 that tn
| then Tammany mayor, Hugh Grant
= felt called upon to give his famil
: $4,000 Since that time he has neithe
held Office nor had any visible BUS

which New York city can point to a
unprecedented and unparalleled in tn
world or in history.
