The CALL SPEAKS FOR ALL.
Republican clubs are increasing.
The spell of Democracy has turned its
own pie into pi.
Whoever wins at st. Louis will be the
peoples favorite.
However costly street-sprinkling may
be- it is never so uneconomical as dust.
II you want good reading tomorrow
leave orders for THE SUNDAY CALL to-day.
With the Market-street Railway Com
pany extortion is not a concealed weapon.
The Democratic swim is all hot water
and the party is getting much-needed
wash.
All Democrats are eager to dodge the
tariff, but they cannot agree on what dodge
TO try.
The country is full of converts to the
cause of patriotism, protection and pros
perity.
The Senate has the adjournment OF Con-
Rress in its hands, but apparently not in
its head.
Republican enthusiasm rises with the
thermometer, and we are going to have
glorious summer.
Eight cyclones IN five days is the Okla
homa record, and Kansas has blown her
self to pieces in vain.
No man in this country has legs supple
enough to stradde the money question
and make good race at the same time.
Care must be taken that the proposed
fiesta doesn't degenerate into something
like the Midwinter Fair of bad memory.
The Gar need not be so very proud over
his coronation. He was only making
show of himself for the American tourist.
Extorting double fares from street rail-
way passengers cannot be called highway
robbery in disguise, because it isn't dis
guised.
The Republican State Executive Com
mittee has now been thoroughly organized
and everything is ready for the campaign
TO begin.
If our Populist friends will consider the
matter they will see that the best tariff
tribunal possible will be a Republican
Congress.
Dallas, Tex, claims to have 5000 bicycles
in operation. and we notice that none of
the cyclones in that section have managed
TO overtake it yet.
Judging from reports that come to us 1t
would seem the split in Texas Democracy
is almost deep enough to make fracture
in the State itself.
Free trade can never win in this country
again under the name of Democracy and
Democracy can never win again on plat
form of free trade.
The very fact that silver Democrats are
going 10 the Chicago convention with a
boom excites fear that they will come
out of it with bust or bolt.
The tendency among Republicans and
Populists just now is toward clubs, but
Democrats seem content to let every man
provide himself with hrickbat
All Democratic organs are vehemently
denouncing Mckinley just now. but the
New York Sun is the worst. 1t SAYS he
has striking resemblance to Cleveland.
Until the unpledged delegates to ST.
Louis meet in convention they can be
counted for almost anybody, and that is
why prediction bureaus have such an easy
time OF il.
It is not Mr.. Vining but the Market.
street Railway Company that is response.
BILE for the maintenance OF the public
nuisance known as the transfer swindle
and the people should not forget the fact.
1t is estimated 200, 1000 tons of wool will
be cipned in Argentina this year and as the
Democratic tariff allows it free entrance

voted for free trade will be more asham ed
thSn ever 10 look an American sheep in the
face this fall.
There is demand in the East that the
Government distribution of seed should b.
placed in charge of an agent selected under
the civil service laws, which is the frs
intimation TO this side of the continent
that there has ever been any offensive
partisanship in garden sass.
According TO the figures of Manage
Vining, the transfer nuisance enables tn,
Market-street Company TO fleece the publ,
10 the extent of about SGT 600 year. 1t Il
clear, therefore, that the company coulC
easily afford to abste the nuisance some
what by giving better and prompter ser
vice where the transfers are made.
II Congress can find nothing better to d.
than TO consider a bill to weaken the in
terstate com merce law by striking out tn,
section which provides penalty of i'm.
nrisonment for those who violate it, the
