HEAR THE pEMAGoGuE.

Democratic speakers are claiming
that there Is an Improvement in bus
mess. This is certainly adding insult
to injury ANY one who reads the
daily record of failures must be san
guine indeed, to believe that times are
better IL is like extracting blood
from turnips, or finding jewels in a
dung heap TO find even hopeful in
dication for the manufacturers or the
farmer during Cleveland's term of of
fee. His policy Of contraction by adj
herring to the gold standard, will be as
stubbornly maintained as in the past
1t is almost certain that he would veto
any measure providing for an increase
in the tariff passed by Republican
congress He stands irrevOcably
committed on these two vital issues.
and unfortunately for the county, is SO
constituted that a change Of opinion is
at once a mental and physical impossi-
bility; but with these discouraging
conditions facing Us we have such sup
porters of his administration as the
Democratic candidate for governor of
Ohio telling the voters of that state
that business is improving. II Is fair
to assume that a man Of Ex-Governor
Oampbell's ability knows better. He
is conscious of leading forlorn hope
so far as his election is concerned, and
he turns himself loose TO any state
ment which may be used as prop Tor
the Cleveland policy. The spectacle
of an ex-governor Of the great manu-
featuring state of Ohio, Haunting such
nonsense in the faces Of idle mechanics
in obedience to the command OF a
purse-proud, autocratic ruler, is not
pleasant to contemplate.
The case is further aggravated by his
claim that the revival in trade is chief
ly owing to the tariff and financial
legislation of the last congress. How
many owners and operators Of our
great industries know the result has
been exactly the opposite. The wool
growers and farmers could testify to
the same effect. Merchants and
trades people have been forced into in
solvency by the general falling of in
the demand for goods. But 1t all has
little bearing on the course Of the de-
clarations of the campaign orator. He
is instructed to say thus and so, and if
he fails to speak his piece the least
ghost of a show for possible appoint
ment to Office is taken from him. Such
is politics as administered by our free
trade, gold enamored, unyielding exc
cutive in the White House.

This is what the projectors of Moods, the

Is, however, that these worthless have also

perhaps, goes without saying, for moods
melancholy, which, if our artistic express
sion goes for aught, is essentially the pre-
rogative of youth.
1t is well to please ones self, if, indeed,
the true artist can ever accomplish THIS,
and doubtless Philip Hale pleases himself
when he spells "dilletante," and e. st.

waywardness when he says ~ confess ! II
