THE CALL SPEAKS FOR ALL.
----------=----==.=----
The gold Democrat must either dodge,
bolt or lie down.
Dunham's whereabouts may be safely
said to be in Quien Sabe Valley.
After this year Democracy VIII join
Jackson in the grave and stay with him.
The biggest straddle in sight is the
way Cleveland is straddling the Cuban
question.
Free silver men will never pull the chest
nuts out of the fire for any such ape as
Democracy is.
Municipal economy and public improve
ment can be m ade well-matched team if
they are handled right
The Academy of Sciences knows many
things more than the average citiZer, but
not much more about raising an income.
Local Democrats may think they are
fighting for pie, but it is sure thing they
will get no pie for their fighting this year.
Cleveland is believed to have decided to
put his third-term boom on ice until 1900,
and then run it as a fin de steele move
ment.
Until we have a thorough system of pro-
lection the people Will never cease to
make it the chief issue Of every National
contest.
Cleveland has been turned down again,
bat once more his fatness enables him to
show UP about as big in that position as
in any other.
Fortunately the chasm between Cleve-
land and his party is getting large enough
to hold the carcasses Of both, so the coun-
try needn't fret
At the next municipal election the peo-
pie will vote for men who are not only
willing to take pledges, but can be relied
on to keep them.
If Teller should accept the Democratic
Presidential nomination it would be the
last of him. lie would never have any
thing more to tell.
There isn't enough movement in the
Democratic current to start boom
even if any candidate in the party had
strength enough to launch one.
Until City officials show themselves
capable of making better use of the rev.
enues already raised the people will never
favor an increase OF taxation for any pur-
pose.
The National election will probably end
very much like that in Oregon, with the
Republicans victorious, the Populists
showing gains and the Democrats dis
tanced.
Offering a reward for the capture OF
murderer has the defect of offering an in
ducement to the officials to wait when the
next murder takes place for another re-
ward to be offered.
There is an opportunity now for men of
means to show their public spirit and their
desire for the advancement of learning by
giving the Academy of Sciences the glad
hand OF generous help.
In kicking German out with one foot
while planting the other firmly on the
Cleveland platform the Maryland Democ-
racy has succeeded in cutting the most ex-
traordinary caper of the campaign.
Many Cleveland official who thinks
himself safe under civil service rules will
be caught in offensive partisanship this
summer and be yanked from cover when
the time comes to turn the fools out.
The festival of the Golden Gate will not
be a carnival and should not be advertised
as such or people outside the State may
get the idea it is to be held next spring,
and so neglect to make arrangements to
come and see it this fall.
