PARTTSANSHIP AND PRETENSE.

In a column of drivel not at all in
keeping with the usually high class ed
itorial utterances of that journal, the
Aberdeen World endeavors to explain
that although independent it is re-
publican.
These are some of the high sounding
phrases used by The World: Partisan
ship is term almost of contempt and
opprobrium." THE party whip no
longer hurts" Parties make small
appeal" THE World * believes
in good government" TT believes in
clean, decent and able men in Office
The World then goes on to say that
since both parties have declared for
tariff revision. the tariff question is
not an issue in this campaign. Unless
the editor OF The World is absolutely
blinded with the partisanship he pro-
fesses to ignore, he lays himself open
to the charge of having failed 20 read
the platforms OF the two parties. Does
he not know that the republican party
in its platform has declared in favor
of such revision of the tariff as will
guarantee to tine American manu-
facturer a reasonable profit?" Does
not this sentence reaffirm the old time
theory of absolute protection, the the
Dry which was discarded by the late
President Mckinley in his last public
utterance, when he declared for reci-
procity?
Has The World failed to read the
democratic declaration that articles
entering into competition with trust
controlled products should be placed on
the free list and that graduate re-
auctions should be made in such other
schedules as may be necessary to re-
store the tariff to revenue basis?'
Really, is The World SO blind that it
can see no line of cleavage on the tar
iff question?
Again, this remarkable newspaper
asks. What is the issue? The law of
injunctions?" and then proceeds to an
swer its own question with the amazing
statement that "the difference between
the Chicago and Denver utterances is
the vast difference between tweedle-
