PUBLIC OPINION.

Dueling and prize fighting have been outlawed by the civilized world. Here after such things will have to be pulled off in New York.-Cleveland Plain Deal CT, Dem.
 The popular tradition against a third term eliminates MT. Cleveland from the race, and the News believes would defeat him should he even be nomina ted.-Bir- mingham News, Dem.
 Those who have reasons to know the truth now positively declare. in response to current criticisms, that the president has made 1t perfectly clear to his friends that, under no possible circumstances. would he be again a candidate. But if he had other ideas on the subject, neither Mir. Cleveland nor any other could be thrice elected president.-Philadelph Telegraph, Rep.
 Senator John Sherman in his "RecoIlec- tions'' says: If my life is prolonged I will do all can to add to the strength and prosperity of the United States, but nothing to extend its limits or to add new dangers by acquisition of foreign territory" This Is the best American | ism. We have enough troublesome rot ten borough states of our own. without tagging any more like san-lburrs to the hem of libertys skirt.-Philadelpn Record, Ind.
 We hope that the next national demo- cratic convention will force the nomina- tion on MT. Cleveland. We do not chink that he wants it or that he would take it unless it should be forced on him, but if he should be compelled to take 1t we have no doubt that he could and would be elected. There are a good many demo- crats in this country who have not lost faith in him. and there are hundreds of thousands of other people who would like to vote for him again.-Charleston News and Courier. Mug.
 However sincerely we may admire MT. ClevelandS smany great and good quaE ities of backbone, brain and heart, we cannot and should not let that admira- tion blind us to the fact that he is no longer among the presidential possibili- ties The party can afford to map out a new course and choose new captain. It can hardly afford to do otherwise in the light of recent events. It might be the very best statesmanship to nom- nate MT. Cleveland for fourth time and elect him. It would be the very worst kind of politics to name him for certain defeat. There Is a difference between good statesmanship and good politics, and logically good politics must come first Minneapolis Times, Dem.
 The problematical point with MT. Cleveland as candidate would be, how many republicans would vote for him? He would carry large portion of the business people of the country, and the thoughtful men who can find it in their minds to be independent of party would kote for him in body: but there are se- rious doubts If he would gain as many republicans as he would lose democrats. We shall never come nearer than con- jecturing on this point, however The third term feeling is not to be tested in the next election for the reason that there is not the slightest probability that MT Cleveland would harbor the thought of third nomination if it were practi- cable for him to obtain it-Boston Her ald Dem.

HOGAN.
The Tariff Question Again.

St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
 But the problem of providing the need ed revenue is not quite as simple as it looks. What shall the new revenue be obtained from? Many persons say, let it be got from beer. This looks easy. for bill of three lines doubling the tax on beer would put $30,000,000 more money into the treasury in year, and wipe out the deficit. But threat of a measure of that sort would create revolt among the brewers which would frighten con gress. Others want duty put on wool as part of the scheme for raising new revenue, but such a duty would be fought by the wooden manufacturers un- less a compensating impost was put on their goods, and it would be assailed by the democracy whether it came as an is- plated proposition or as part of general advance. In either case the whole tar- if question would be brought up for dis cussion in congress, and this, for par tisan as we'll as for business reasons, both parties are anxious to avoid until after the presidential election. Still, af- ter the holiday recess, when congress starts to work seriously on the tasks of the session, the question of additional revenue may have to be squarely faced.

This Is Worth Reading.

You'll find that very, few people make a second purchase at store where they were once persuaded to take a diff ferent article from what they intended to purchase. Now this same rule should be adopted by every person who enters a store to purchase Simmons Liver Regulator. This medicine has become so popular that many limitations are being offered under different names, because the dealers are interruptions They chuckle at their smartness, while the customer finds no relief from his miseries Beware of these smart deal- CTS. Simmons Liver Regulator is the best household medicine, and millions of people have found new life and health in taking the real article. Many call it "The Old Friend" and Better than Pills" You will know it by the Red z on the package. Some people call it "The great southern remedy" because it has larger sale in the south than all other liver medicines combined. You can pin your faith to 1t, 1t never dis appoints.

State Reformatory.
Saws the Opelfka News:

Says the Opellka NeWS.
 Quite number of our state exchanges are advocating the establishment of a reformatory school for young criminals, Our next legislature should by all means pass such an act and wipe out this blot on our civilization. We gladly insert the following pertinent remarks from that ably edited paper. the Piedmont In- quirer:
 Every newspaper in the state should advocate the establishment of a refor- matory school for young criminals at Mount Vernon. The state has recently come into possession of this magnificent property and 1t could be put to no bet ter use than for the purpose named. It is shame and a blot upon our morals and our civilization that we allow young boys that have been found guilty of vio- lation of our criminal laws to be worked alongside of hardened criminals in the coal mines of the state. Of course un-- der such circumstances, and surrounded by such vicious influences, the youth after serving out his sentence is more hardened than ever. The state should have a reformatory school for young criminals and it should be conducted so as to make crime hideous in the eyes of the inmates. Suitable employment should be provided, and the inmates should be

Do the Gold Bugs Want Harmonyp

The Montgomery Journal says:
 If the gold-bugs really want harmony in the party why not stop their fight on Johnston, unite in making shim governor of Alabama. and fall in line for the great fight in 1896. Why insist on getting out a candidate to pit against Johnston. when it is so generally conceded him by all classes of democrats, thousands of gold as well as free silver advocates, and thus prevent a breach in the party, and possible defeat. If the democracy of Alabama must have "a united party. there should be no scramble over the nomination. It has long been under stood that Governor Oates would not be a candidate for reelection. and it has also been equally certain that Captain Johnston would be candidate for the nomination, and it has been all along, as 1t Is now, practically conceded that he should succeed Governor Oates, and should an effort now be made by per sdnal grievance organ that happened to have a postoffice behind it and which imagines it the official and personal or gan of the federal administration in this state, to bring about contention. strife and needless antagonisms inside the party in Alabama

Bids the Governor Adieu.

Because Governor Oates will not do the bidding of a few newspapers who would like to shelve him for some other favorite they take occasion to knife him at every turn. This is what the Mobile Herald has to say:
 Governor Oates spoke a [ Clayton yes terday and took occasion to say that he was not and would not be candidate for governor. but was in the race for senator. He discussed the financial aues- tion and made an appeal for harmony in the party. He said he differed with the president on some points The Her. ald now takes leave of Governor Oates as a political factor and will devote its attention to more interesting matters than the political vagaries and vacilla- tons of an aspirant for office.'

Our Next Governor.

NEWS. =
 Who will be our next governor, is a question that is just now agitating the minds of politicians, newspaper men, cffice-seekers and sprinkling of the peo- pie all over the state. If Governor Oates will not accept second term we think Capt. Joseph Johnston will come nearer uniting a divided democracy than any man in the party. Captain Johnston, aI- though strong silver man, is a stannch democrat. and every gold bug in the state should throw prejudice aside and give him united and hearty support. We well remember how earnestly the captain worked for Colonel Oates after he was declared the choice of the party in 1894.
 Capt Joseph Johnston is a sound dem ocrat. He deserves recognition. and the News will support him in 'a6 as it did in 's4 the one-armed hero of Henry, who is now Governor Oates.

The Senate.
Cincinnati EnQuirer.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
 As neither party has majority in the United States senate, the question of how it shall be organized at it's meeting in December is an interesting one. That body now consists of eighty-seven members. There would be eighty-eight but for the vacancy in one of the seats from Delaware. The eighty-seven are thus divided: Republicans, 42; demo- crats, 40, and popullsts and Independents, 5. Forty-four are, therefore, necessary to decide any question pertaining to the organization. With MT. Addicks, the claimant from Delaware, admitted for ty-fve would be necessary for the pur- pose. Utah will be admitted early in the winter, and, with her two senators, the whole number will be ninety, making forty-six necessary to a choice. She will send two republicans. Should MT. Ad- dicks be admitted. the republicans would have forty-five votes after the admis- sion of Utah, and would still fall one short of majority.
 The independents and populists are the following: Stewart, Jones (Nevada). Peffer, Kyle and Butler of North Caro- lima.

Plain and Logical Words.
Says the Sheffield Reaper:

Says the Sheffield Reaper:
 Senator Morgan has given utterance to some very plain and logical words in regard to British claims in Venezuela MT Morgan never indulges 'jingoism.' His statement of the case makes plain the unflghteousness of English claims in that country even to his most bitter enc mics. The senator is always right when it comes to legal and international af- fairs"

THE RDspoysiBLB PARTY.

The Boston Standard an independent journal takes the following view of the recent elections:
 Thirteen states and one territory held elections week before last. Seven of the states elected governors. The success of the republican party was phenomenal, and indicates a full return to national power next year. Thereat there is much rejoicing by party organs, which proph- esy great things as consequent upon such a victory.
 Ut might be well, however. for the leaders of the victorious hosts to ponder the lessons of the political happenings of the last decade. Not all the political landslides have been in one direction. and more than one conspicuous repnbi- can has been buried out of sight, to keep company with the shades of departed democrats in the political inlho. We are reminded of an old epitaph to he found in many graveyardS in New England:
 Stranger, pause ere you pass by.
 As you now, once was 1;
 As am now. so you must be;
 Prepare for death and follow me

The same voters who have ushered the republicans into power are sure to bow them politely but firmly out again if they assumed the airs of own- ership and are neglectful of public in- terests.
 "The great extent and varied interests of our country make the place of na- tional official no sinecure if he does his duty, and the people will know whether he does or not The surest way to per manent political success now leads through honest service, and not through smartness in manipulating loaded polit- ical dice. The exceptions are so rare as to be conspicuous. If the republican party is true to the right, it will remain in power. If 1t becomes intoxicated by success and forgets the men who made its success possible, there will be another landslide as there ought to be-"

A Land Without Tame Animals.

London Tit BltS.
 Japan is a land without domestic ani- mals. There are no cows-the Japanese neither drink milk nor eat meat There are but few horses, and these are i'm ported mainly for the use of foreigners The freight carts in the streets are pulled and pushed by coolies, and the pleasure carriages are drawn by men. There are but few dogs, and these are neither used as watch dogs, beasts of burden, nor in hunting, except by foreigners. There are no sheep in Japan, and wool is not used in clothing, silk and cotton being the staples. There are no pigs-pork Is an unknown article of diet and lard is not used in cooking. There are no goats, or mules, or donkeys. Wild animals there are, however, and in particular bears of enormous size.
