POLITICAL DRIFT.


py nowadays by reason of their inabil-
ity to forget that they are democrats.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
eE-The democratic party having
failed u carry out its pledges the peo-
pie have decided TO carry the demo
cratic party out. Incidentally they
will also bury it.-Chicago Tribune.

Platform-What's the use?-Chicago

sH"The anarchical utterances heard
on every democratic stump during the
last presidential campaign are bearing
their legitimate fruit in the acts of
lawlessness and riot now prevalent in
so many different states.-N. Y. Re-
corder.
gS~Under the laws of the United
States trust is an unlawful conspir-
acy in restraint of trade. Yet one of
the most notorious of these trusts can
have schedules drawn by democratic
secretary of the treasury for insertion
in democratic tariff bill. What does
1t all mean?-N. Y. World DEM.
rs" Public Printer Benedict dis
charged seven hundred and fifty repub
lican employees of the government
printing office, and loud were the
plaudits over his economy" Now
that he IL putting in seven hundred
and fifty hungry democrats, there is
never word said by the claque.-To-
ledo Blade.
sE~The democratic party has reached
a point where il has no further regard
for decency. The time for reputation
of bargains, infamous or otherwise, has
passed. The sugar trust has that or
ganization by the throat, from its
its grip until it gets what il wants
Cleveland Leader.
sE~The reductions of,duties in the
agricultural schedule are of serious
import not only TO farmers but to farm
laborers. They mean increased i'm
portations of the products of foreign
farms and lower prices for American
farm products, lower wages for Ameri-
can farm laborers and lower profits for
American farmers.-Albauy Journal.
sEThe party in power charges the
national deficit upon past mismanage-
ment of republicans. But how abou'
the impending deficit of $500. 900 in
Texas. where the republicans are
sort of fourth dimension? Nothing bu
a positive genius for misgovernment
could have put this state of great re-
sources into such a hole.-St. Louis
Globe Democrat.
sF-The secret of prosperity is plenty
of work at good wages. That was
what caused the unprecedented mate
rial progress of the country during the
ascendency of the republican party,
and any experiment of a contrary kind
is sure to end in Disappointing Mt and
misfortune no matter how cheap it may
make things of common necessity.-St.
Louis Globe Democrat.
sE~The chief part of the shame and
all of the ''swag" remain with very
few individuals, so far as the senators
are personally concerned. But the
whole body of democratic senators and
two populists who voted for robbing
the people of fifty million dollars TO
give the plumber to the sugar trust
must share in the guilt of acquies-
cence at least. They may plead party
discipline, political necessity, what
they will, their plea cannot entirely
exonerate a single mothers son of
them. Those who are not guilty as
bride takers are at least guilty as be
travers of the public welfare which
they were bound by their oaths and by
the dictates of honor to consider far
above all claims of mere party loyalty.
Boston Advertiser.
sEThe policy Of the Cleveland ad-
ministration towards Central America
lacks all the pluck and craftsmanship
that were exhibited under President
Harrison. Harrison plainly told the
English government in his message,
and through the minister, that the
United States would permit no Euro
peaE jurisdiction on the American
continent; that it would look to Mica
ragua alone to settle all questions re-
garding Mosquito territory. Instead
of sustaining this position Cleveland
has carried his Hawaiian theory into
Central America, and permitted the
Mosquito chief restored TO power un-
der the direct agency of the English
IL is a notable American
surrender. and the end is not yet
reached -Chicaon Inter Ocean
