question:

Is there any one fault displayed by the
Democracy three years ago in dealing
with the tariff puzzle, which III Republi-
cans have failed to exhibit this year?
Among the bitterest ~reproaches aimed
ar the Democratic ma5orities in Congress
was the charge that it was a -disorganized
mob. without leadership, policy or pur-
pose. This may not be strictly true OF
the Republican party. Every represent
tative shares in the purpose and policy
OF plumber. But when rival forms of rob-
berry clash, the lack of leadership and
cohesion is striking enough.
We had a beautiful example yesterday
in a row over wool. For a moment it
seemed as if the rival greeds of Senator
Quay and the manufacturers whose tool
he is, IN the one hand, and Foraker and
the sheep barons on the other, would
wreck the whole fabric that Dingley and
Aldrich have so painstakingly con-
strueted.
One cheerful result of the row is the
certainty that free wool was an enor-
nous boon to the country at large.

NEW PUBLICATIONS.
Godey,s For July.

With it's July number "Godey's'' (the
oldest monthly magazine in America) en-
fers upon its sixty-eighth year of contin-
nous publication. Among features of
especial note are the following articles
I'm Quiet Canyons" by Idah M. Stro-
bridge; an article on The Women Writ
ers of Canada" II Return from Nee
ca.r and a sketch OF "Our California
Poets at Home" with portraits and
scenes.
a very striking subject appears in 'sThe
Co1ored Woman of Today" by Fannie
Barrier Williams. With this article is
published "a Tale of the New South"
which touches a singular phase of Ann
erlcan life.
The fiction OF this issue Is all good
summer reading. The leading story is a
genuine love tale by Grace MCGOWAN
Cooke. There are five other good stories,
and several bits of short, bright fiction.
Rupert Hughes treats OF the Chicago
Musicians; and Beaumont Fletcher gives
q clear analysis of the dramatic work in

1t appears that sceI.a 3. Z. Price and
his gang Of malignants are at work on
an address to voters, in which only State
and local issues are to be discussed.
This, coming on top Of the so-called State
Committees course in respect to the APP
pointraents to the County Boards of
Election IS funny. It is what is conn
monty called the Ostrich act"
Does Price really think that he can
keep on turning down all the decent
Democrats in the State and at the same
time persuade them to support him and
his crews by pleas that The financial
question or any other issue raised last
fab can have no bearing whatever on
this election? II he is sincere in his
pleas why did he not show his sincerity
by dropping National issues out of sight
last week, when the Committee met?
Why does he not show a tardy repent
ance now by appointing Paul Revere
Election Inspector for Morris county?
Does Price take people for fools to be
tricked and cajoled by his cheap talk,
70 that they will shut their eyes to his
old-time thug methods?
