THE CALL SPEAKS FOR ALL.
We congratulate St. Louis.
Pork centers know how to hog things.
The convention will come west of the
Mississippi, anyhow.
There is harmony in the thought that
we made good fight.
Since the convention is to meet in st.
Louis there is no doubt it will be hot
one.
When the Chicago fellows hear st.
Louis yell they will wish they had come
our way.
1t may not be pleasant to be called
Jlngo but it is much better than to be
Nonjingo.
About all that Congress can do for
Cleveland before the holidays is to put the
rod in pickle.
Street cleaning should certainly include
keeping cows and pigs off the streets in
the Bernal Heights district.
I1a1- 81 t1n 70
comes from Democratic Senator Morgan,
but perhaps that is poetic justice.
II Cleveland wishes to see the country
rid of the tariff ''of perfdy and dishonor"
he has only to stand aside for while.
The Solid Eight, trembling in their
shoes, look forward to Christmas with a
fear of finding an indictment in their
stockings.
Fog for nearly two weeks in London
and nearly freezing weather on the Riviera
should make us thankful for these days of
genial winter sunshine.
The inability of the Democratic Senators
even to make an effort to organize the
Senate shows that Democracy in that body
IS not only demoralized, but paralyzed.
In deciding to resign his command and
quit Cuba General Campos has the salts
faction of knowing he Is the only official
OF his time who has lived up to his ulti-
matum.
Now that we have lost the contest for
the National Convention we can concen-
trate our attention and direct all our ener-
gies to winning the fight against the fund
ing bill.
Judging from the prevailing talk the OBJ
iect of the Chicago Two-million Club is
not so much to bring the people to that
city as to prove in spite OF the census they
are already there.
If bosses are to be beaten at all they
must be beaten at the primaries, for on
election day it is impossible to overthrow
the boss of one party without supporting
the boss of the other.
From the way the big theaters of the
country are being given up to comic opera,
farces and vaudevilles it would seem legiti
mate drama will soon have to take to barn
storming for living.
Adlai Stevenson is Vice President of the
United States and presiding officer of the
Senate, but while all is warm and lively
around the Speaker of the House there is
a dead frost with Adlai.
For the despicable brutes who beat
women and assault childh God the CATO
nine-tails, English style, is the only fitting
punishment. The one way to touch the
towards heart is to tan his hide.
The Atlanta Exposition has had one
bull-fght the people enjoyed and yet the
Humane Society could not interfere be-
cause the bull had the best of 1t from start
to finish and wasn't tortured at all.
The National debt of all the civilized
nations OF the world amounts in round
num- ers to $50, GOO, 100000. If payment of
them is to be made in gold coin the out
look for our posterity is not a cheerful one.
The Chicago TimeS-Herdld may be cor
rect in saying ''the only doctrine on which
Democratic craftsmanship is agreed is
sound and honest money" but will it ven
ture TO assert there is any agreement as to
what is meant by sound money?
That Cleveland said nothing about the
deficit in his message has occasioned less
remark in some quarters than the omission
of the new Mayor of Baltimore to say any
thing i'll his inaugural about the winning
of the league baseball champ ionship.
The South will derive from the Atlanta
Exposition at least one benefit of great
value, for it has started between New York
and Chicago a rivalry as to which will fur
nish that section the cheaper transporta-
ton rates, and all Southern shippers are
sure to find considerable profit from the
contest.
The proposed improvement of the Erie
canal has called attention to the fact that
New York has not sufficient dockroom for
the expected fleet of boats from the lakes,
and the prediction is made that the whole
island will be eventually given up to trade
and the residences moved over to the
mainland.
