him self nobly, but it isn't in
the book Of destiny fol
MIN to inhabit the White House
again. So it is apparent that OF all
the distinguished men mentioned
Senator Allison takes precedence
by reason of his superb quallfica-
tions and his availability" No Re-
publican would, judging from
what those who come to Washing
ton have said, object to Senator
Allison as the party's candidate,
but with the exception OF Mr..
Baldwin, none Of them have credit
ed him with any chance for the
nomination, except in the event Of
a deadlock between those who will
enter the convention with more
votes. His whole strength lies in
his being an ideal compromise
candidate; but suppose no compro-
mise is needed?
That deal between the admins.
tration and Joe Blackburn is of,
very much off. Blackburn broke
it up, but his friends say that it
was because he found out that the
administration was trying to keep
his mouth shut by trickery, while
1t was steadily plotting to prevent
his being returned to the Senate.
According to the best obtainable
Information, it Is to be war to the
death from this time on. Black
burn is bitterly denouncing the
administration from the stump,
and is more determined, his friends
say, than ever, in his preference
for a Republican, rather than q |
Cleveland Democratic Senator
from Kentucky.
The Democrats are becoming as
much alarmed about Maryland as |
they have been for some time about |
Kentucky. The Cleveland Demo.
Gratis are disgruntled over the
knock down that Senator German
has given them, and so far they
have refused to accept the soft soap
given the administration in the
resolutions adopted by the German
state convention as an equivalent |
for the nomination of an entire
German ticket. Members Of the
administration are trying to bring
pressure to bear upon the Mary
land Cleveland Democrats to make
them work for the German ticket, |
not that they love German, but
because they fear the capture Of
the state by the Republicans.
Some Of the Maryland anti German
Democrats have said openly that
they would be glad to see Maryland
carried by the Republicans because
it would not only kill German as a
presidential candidate, but would
destroy his influence, both at home
and in the Democratic National
convention. The Maryland Repub-
licans are not disdaining any as.
sistance from the anti.Gorman
Democrats, although they are con-
fident Of carrying the state.

The Policy of IdiOcy.

Our own home markets cannot con-
sumo the American manufactures al
ready produced. What is to be done
with the surplus products?-New York
Herald, July 10, 1895.
Of course, "our own home mar
kets cannot consume the American
manufactures already produced"
hen foreign manufacturers are
permitted to supplant them in "our
home markets." The Herald's
anxiety to supply foreign markets
suggests an anxiety on the part of
Mr.. Bennett to secure some adver-
tisig for the foreign edition of his
paper, from American manufacture
ers. The question what is to be
done with the surplus products?"
we are waiting to have solved by
Colonel Cockerill. AS Mr. Bennett
is sufficiently interested in horse
racing to import American trotters
into Europe, his patriotism should
induce him to consign a ship load
of American manufactures to the
markets Of Japan. Colonel Cocker
i'll would be able to write some
very interesting letters on his efforts
to dispose of them in competition
with similar goods made by ten.
cent-a' day Japanese labor and upon
which no freight had been paid.
The idiocy of the export idea can
have emanated only from the ge-
MUS who wrote about he"splendid
results with free wool" in the Her
aid of July 9. These results
have been loss Of millions of dol
lars to farmers a loss of a large
part of the home market to our
WOODEN manufacturers and a loss
in the quantity and value of our
exports of wooden goods. These
are the splendid results" that the
New York Herald and its idiotic
owner and editors continue to bray
bout.-American Economist.
