SENATOR VAN WYCK'S personal or
gan solemnly calls attention to the re
cent democratic success in Oregon and
plainly intimates that , if the republi = -
cans nominated by the approaching
convention in Nebraska are not of its
kidney , the same reverse will be sus
tained here. Its threat is vain. There
are worse things than defeat and keener
pangs than disappointment. To bend
before unavoidable disaster is one thing.
To bow the supple knee to arrogant
faithlessness quite another.
MR. RANDALL , not inaptly called the
"Judas" of democracy , sat serenely
composed when the vote was taken in
the house on Thursday on the question
of considering the Morrison tariff bill ,
ndicating by his manner his entire con-
idence in the result and his self-satis-
'action with what he had done to brins
3
about that result , while the clerical-
ooking McKinley , of Ohio , presented
a picture of absolute complacency and
unconcern. These adroit chaiupiens of
the tariff had certainly done their work
well , and are entitled to the satisfaction
of their temporary triumph. Meanwhile
Morrison has given notice that he will
renew the effort to have his bill consid
ered on next Tuesday , not because he
expects it will meet with any better for
tune there , but to more surely brand
those democrats who in voting against
its consideration repudiated the pledge
of their party to give the country tariff
reform.
' OCR JEEMS' ' gave Sparks , the bump
tious land commissioner , a thorough
ventilation in the house , the other day.
SPARKS is evidently subsidinguntil
the clouds roll by , " when he will make
another "break"with his wonted per
ennial freshness.
ABOUT the only way the profession
can keep even with lunatics and thugs
that now abound and thirst for journal
istic gore is to shoot and shoot early and
straight.
OTTO , the new King of Bavaria , like
his brother , the late King Louisis , weak-
minded. The reigns of government will
therefore remain in the hands of Prince
Luitpold , regent. They need an infus
ion of fresh blood into the royal family
badlv.
IT is claimed that a Nebraska jury
was recently polled and was found to
stand eleven for Yan Wyck to one for
all others. This is the hardest blow yet
struck at the jury system and goes far
to confirm what has often been claimed
by many people , that it is an impedi
ment to justice.
THERE is nothing in the way now to
hinder the Eepublican Valley from
going into the state convention with a
solid vote and will enable her to name
a candidate for the state ticket , and
that place will be about the size of
Secretary of State , and the man to fill
it the most popular man in the valley ,
Hon. G. L. Laws , Register of the Mc-
Cook land office. Franklin Echo.
THE breach between President Cleve
land and Governor Hill is daily growing
deeper and wider. Hill holds Cleve
land and his mugwumpian ideas in pure
bourbonic contempt , while the Presi
dent looks upon Hill as the only man
who can possibly unhorse him for re-
nomiiiation in 1SSS. If Cleveland really
does not himself desire the nomination
he will use his utmost endeavors to beat
Hill out of the New York delegation.
That he can do this for any other man
than himself is questionable. Hill is
lucky and plucky , and if he goes in for
the persimmon will work a very long
pole.
IT has long been a conviction of all
fair-minded people that General Black ,
commissioner of pensions , is a dema
gogue pure and simple , and his most re
cent appearances before the senate in
vestigating committee have served to
confirm this conviction and add to the
number of those entertaining it. From
the day of his induction into office Black
has lost no opportunity to manifest his
strong partisan feeling , and he has been
more conspicuously offensive in this re
spect than perhaps any other man in
the government service , although the
bureau of which he is the head ought
to be the least subject to the influences
of partisanship. It will be very much
like self-stulification on the part of the
president if he permits Black to remain
in office after the exposure of his con
duct and character that has been made
by the senate investigation.
