Public Opinion.

Detroit Tribune: The hand that
manipulates the sugar ticker is the
hand that rules the United States SEN
ate.
Baltimore Herald: The civil service
law is founded on a GibFaltaresn rock.
The talk about abrogatiDg or modify
ing 1t is cheap bluster,
Nashville American: Despite the
allegation that times are dull, there are
substantial indications Of prosperity in
various parts Of the country.
Detroit Journal: The Congress can
save money to the people and smash q
big tea conspiracy at the same time by
putting tea back on the free list.
Philadelphia Record: The enmity
that exists between practical politics
and civil service rules is as constant as
the enmity between fire and water,
Duluth Labor World: "All men are
equal in the sight Of the law" used to
be at least an ordinarily respected
maxim. To-day 1t is bsrefaced false
hood.
Henry D. Lloyd: The new conscience
says simply that man shall never be
so much Of buyer or seller as to cease
to be q brother, and that labor shall
not be marketable thing.
Louisville Courier j ournal: The Leg.
islsture is thinking Of trip to Nash
vile. Why not send turnpike mob
at the same time, and exhibit them to-
gether as Kentucky's jewelsP
New York Sun: II is now certain
that for some years to come imported
sugar will have to pay duty large
enough to afford considerable encour-
sgement to the native production Of
the commodity,
Chicago Post: Probably there is not
an American alive who will not get
some satisfaction out of the announce
ment that the Turkish mule is likely to
disturb the concert of Europe with his
ObstrepeTous bray.
Omaha Bee: Republicans will not
care whether Senator Kyle of South
Dakota prefers to be called Populist
so long as he votes right on questions
in which they are interested, What's
In q name, anyway?
Topeka State Journal: When this

batants, The country is asking for
prosperity and not for peppering Of
Spanish bullets.
Duluth News. Tribune "Perhaps it
would be we'll to see what effect the
taking Of little politics out of the
tariff would have" says the Detroit
Free Press. Certainly, Let's put the
tariff on religious basis, or something
equally as relevant.
Mall and Express: Spain's an.
nonDCement that she will not sell Cuba
to anybody for anything was entirely
unnecessary. There isn't a real estate
dealer In the world who would take
the property off her hands, for the very
excellent reason that she isn't in po.

not be cut down. This can hardly be
called courageous ststesmsnship, but
ia rather the audaelty Of unbridled
loot.
Free Coinage Journal: When che
creditor class enhances the purchasing
power of money SO that a $1,000 loan
has a $4,000 value at maturity, II
plucks 81, 900 out Of the debtor by it's
dishonest scheme; and not only is the
debtor defrsuded of his money, but
language is defrauded of its proper
meaning by calling such money honest.

Boston Globe: Whatever new lines
may be drawn on the currency ques-
tiOn when 1t comes up In the future, as
it must, 1t is scarcely probable that,
with a great tariff contest on their
hands, the Republican leaders in Con-
gress propose to deliberately invite a
war within the party at such a critical
time by declaring themselves on either
side of the question as to retiring the
greenbacks.
Richmond Dispatch: Precedent,
which is 80 powerful everywhere, and
particularly in Virginia, demands that
the Democrats Of this State should in

form. Furthermore, upon it's merits

Kansas City Journal: In Kansas
and other Western States where no
elections are to be held this year, Dem
oCrsts aud Popullsts are declaring with
emphasis that there will be no more
party fusion. In Iowa, which is to
hold a State election next fall, fusion
has already been effected. It Is only

Western Miner: We have all heard
the laboring people laughed at for de.
stroying cotton spindles and breaking
reapers to pieces when these inventions
first appeared and deprived thousands
of hard workers of their means of
earning livelihood. But the small
merchants Of Chicago are guilty of a
course just as foolish and ignorant
when they unite to secure law to de-
stroy the department store, their sue

Petersburg IDdex-Appesl: The Index
Appeal believes in manhood suffrage,
pure and simple, but it also believes
that the suffrage rights Of Republicans
- black and white - would be i'm
mensely strengthened and guarded by
an educational qualification. This
would remove all excuse for tsmpering
with the ballot box to protect the State
against ignorance and vice, and would
tend to build up a healthy opposition

POpulist, we don't understand why

without being ruled entirely out of the
organization.
Atlanta Journal: We would not un-
deTestimate the aid which Northern
capital has given to this work. 1t has
been invested very largely in Southern
cotton mills and other industries in the
South and has been most cordially well
coined, but millions of Southern CAPT
tai and savings of Southern men of
moderate means have also been put
into the new cotton mills in this sec
tiOn. Many of these mills have been
built entirely with Southern money.
Our people have demonstrated their
faith In the South, and according to
their means have contributed splen-
didly to its development.

TINPLATE WORKERS GET AN ADVANCE.
HAPPY RESULT OF THE CONFERENCE AT


Pittsburg, July 4.-Skilled tnplate workers iden-

protective clause that timed plate mills Will not
manufacture sheet IRON The workers are jubilant
and look upon the future with hope, 1t is as
serted that the signing of the remaining scales OF
the association is but question of time. The con-
ference between the Scale Committee and commit
tee of manufacturers adjourned after having been
IN session two days. The workers wanted an ad-
vance of 10 per cent. which the manufacturers were
not inclined to give. readjustment was made
which would give the workers an average advance
OF about S4 per cent. After considerable discus

vided the manufacturers signing the scale would
agree TO give them protective clause guarantee

facture sheet iron in the event of the market Tor
