The Plattsmoutti Herald. l'KOVIPKNCE went against democrats in Khode Island. the The democrats who are have no hope of electing tti it year. inside Hryan 'IJtTLB h'HODY" is No. 1 in the list of national rcpuhlican victories for ISO! Next! TllE democratic house is in favor of free wool. That's about us far ns it will ever get. Do THE rainhow chasers expect to find a pot of gold or a pot of silver nt the end of the rainhow? MfKt.Nl.liV, k'ccd, Alger, Maine, Allison, Sherman or Harrison- any one of them can he elected it nomi nated. The present indications point to 1 larrison. THE republican convention hall at Minneapolis lias been completed, nnd is in readiness for the nomina tion of the ticket that is to sweep the country next fall. IllI.L brooks no foolishness in his political followers. Failure to 'obey and no questions" is punish able by immediate boycott from cither honor or patronage. D. It. IllI.L (with an assumption of pensive melancholy and u steel-like glitter of the eye): "Now, if I had only been able to get into Khode Is land to assist the democrats, how different it might have been." WHEN David Hoss Hill issues his ultimatum to the democrats in con vention assembled at Chicago they will immediately crawl down off the fence and vociferously declare that Senator Hill is the greatest living democrat. The business outlook as given by Dun's and Hrndstreet's reviews does not bear out Hrother Sherman's Journal in the statement that poor trade and not the McKinley law is the cause of the present low prices of the necessaries of life. The reason all the democratic presidential candidates and their friends proclaim that Cleveland is their secotid choice is simply that they are currying favor wtth His Obesity nnd want his votes when they leave the claimant wallowing in his own fat. What explanation or excuse have northern democrats to make for the Haunting ot t lie "bloody shirt in congress by Patterson of Tennessee, Hankhead of Alabama, and Turner of Georgia? What possible provo cation had they? What republican said a word to provoke their action? THE game of the anti-liryan dem ocrats is to let the young man elo quent open his mouth and step into it this fall. That will lay him on the shelf and he will not be in the way two years from now. The only hope of the democrats carrying this district is in an oil year and on a calamity platform. The Cleveland democrat who was defeated in Indiana for the guhcr natorial Domination swallowed his wrath and bitterness together nnd answered in the language of the man he claimed to so cordially hate, "I nm a democrat." Of course he'll support the ticket. He didn't know Gray was loaded when he pulled the Cleveland trigger. The Nebraska farmers could not be blamed for favoring a law to en hance the price of farm products :t0 or 40 per cent above the market price, but why they favor such a law, in behalf of the silver kings which cannot fail to give us a silver standard hence a fluctuating nnd chean dollar, remains to be satis factorily explained. Heatrice Ke publican. The monthly reports of the secre tary of the treasuty have the effect ot making the bourbon calamity howlers froth at the mouth every thirty days. The growing volume of the spring trade and the pros pects for good crops is maddening to the inossback leader. Lvery thing, including the working of the McKinley taritf law, is against them this year. THE Chicago Herald has burned the bridges behind it since leaving the Cleveland democracy. It says "It is not seriously claimed in inn quarter that Mr. Cleveland ca carry New York. Only madim will profess that the democratic inirtv can elect a president next November without New York That is the situation in absolut simplicity." And if the Herald had stated the whole truth it would have continued "and no other can didate nominate! by the democrats .can carry New York this fall. This j9 a republican year." IT is really too bad that Billiam Silver Hryan should be so soon done for. His frequent repetition of that "great speech" in Connecti cut nnd elsewhere started trie Washington newspaper corres pondents to poking fun at him as a twenty-four hour hero a man with one ppeech for any and all occa sions. Then he came to Omaha and heroically performed his "pain ful duty" of putting himself for ward to be sat down upon for the good of the party. Then he goes back to Washington and dips his oar in Mr. Hill's K'ockwell-Nyes elction case and the New York senator-boss boxes his ears and orders the democrats to pay no at tention to oratorical upstarts from the west who rant about courage and duty, an 1 the democrats mind Mr. Hill as usual. INCONSISTENT TEXANS. K'ope at random a hundred demo crats anywhere in Texas, free traders or not, it makes no di (Ter ence; ask them if they think it lair to protect eastern manufactures and nt the same time put western and southern raw materials on the free list, and they will all, or nearly all, tell you No with emphasis. Ask them if they are opposed to the free coinage ol silver, and they will answer No; that their party has always been a silver party, and that until silver was demonetized, to please the bondholders who did not watd to take silver for their bonds, it was always on a parity with gold. And yet in the face of oil this they will throw up their hats for Woger Mills, who attempted to sacrifice the raw material of the south and west for the benefit of the astern manufacturers, and who also made anti-silver speeches in Ohio. This is not consistency, cer- linly. Then what is if?-Texa& Stockman and Farmer. CONCERNING CLEVELAND. One of our editorial brethren says there should he no juggling with the great Cleveland a name in the state convention, as he is not a pos sibility. There is no danger of Mr. Cleveland's name suffering to any alarming extent. Gratitude is not the ordinary politician's besetting shortcoming. When Cleveland thought he wa3 bigger than the people of the country, he started in to serve notice on them that they must "cheese the racket" about sil ver if they wanted him to run for president. The people began to as sert right and left that Mr. Cleve. ;nd could go to that country where fires do not need to be freshly started each morning, and when the politicians saw this they dropped him like a hot potato. We ire just learning to "love Cleveland for the enemies he has made." Like many other great men great when he has offices to give away he ha9 talked and letter-wrote him self to death. Like the Syrian satraps, in commenting on the speech of Herod, they said it was the voice of a god, but the worms ate him just as they would any other mortal. Anti-free coinatre and republican approval has made Mr. Cleveland a chestnut. David City Press. COURTS AND NEWSPAPERS The supreme court of Indiana has made an important ruling ns to the powers of judges in relation to newspaper writers who may . criti cise their acts. Fishback and Allen respectively are editor and publisher of a news papet that preferred a charge against Judge Taylor, of the Terre Haute court, that he had prevented a grand jury from making investi- gation concerning alleged corrup tion in contracts and construction of sewers in that city. The judge construed the charge to be in de rogation of his office, and fined Fish bach and Allen for contempt of court. They refused to pay and were scentenced to imprisonment, whereupon they appealed to the su preme bench. The appellate court found that the articles published by Fishback nnd Allen were not in contempt of court, inasmuch ns they did not attribute dishonest or unworthy motives to the judge, hut were more decorous criticisms of what appeared to the editor and publisher to be neglect of duty by the judge or the grand jury, or both of them. This is good law and good equity. As Judge Olds, in expressing the opinion of the full bench, said: 'it ought to be understood that the public press has rights with which no courts have power to interfere. It is to be noted, also, that there are limits beyond which no self-respecting newspaper will ever pass." Courts are liable to error, and it is well within the power of the press to criticise their errors. Courts have been, though seldom in thiscountry, corrupt, and in the sad event of their corruption it is the duty of the press to denounce it. The judiciary is one of the three coordinate! branches of our federal and state governments, and it is no more above criticism than either of the other two. Hut, ns Judge Olds says, no self respecting newspaper ever will tran scend the limits of decency, either in criticism of error or in denuncia tion of vice. Inter Ocean. THE democratic party is the part.) that thrives on proclaimed misery. Its only competitor is the decaying carcass of the alliance. The Journal has forgot all about how the old war horses of the demo cratic party s. t down on Hryan and his free silver resolution in Omaha. IllI.L is undermining the Stuffed Prophet in the citadel of mug wumpism, Massachusetts. Hy the time the Chicago convention meets Cleveland will be in the position to perform a similar painful duty to that which Million Silver Hryan lid at Omaha recently. This is a decidedly cool spring and summer for "courageous" democrats. mmmwmmmmmwmmm wmu ANOTHER" free silver convention has been called. This one is ''to In held at Washington, I). C, M ly 1V and 21. The silver hoys are bound to give the democrats trouble on that silver question, notwithstand ing the desperate endeavors of the bourbon leaders to put it otf "until after the election" "God hates a coward" and so does the silver dem ocrat. A (iooi old democrat remarked this morning in the presence of the editor of this paper, that last Satur day he received that wonderful speech of Hryan's and that he read it through Sunday. He said it was the poorest excuse of a speech he ever saw, there was nothing to it, and if the democrats nominated him he would be beaten, no matter who the republicans put up. Calhoun's democratic Lincoln Herald says the McKinley tariff law "is a fixture and it cannot be essen tially reduced. Years ago, when re form was betrayed by Randall and McAdoo and others in and out of congress, the tariff could have been reduced. Hut now the expenses equal the receipts and the tariff has become a fixture. The most that can be done with it is to tinker it a little here and there." The Herald wants to change the issue to silver. It has gotten enough of the tariff and the republicans in one cam paign will give it a sufficiency of free silver courage. Echoes From the Diamond. From TtiasiluyS Dnlly. There is a bright, shining crown awaiting he that will invent a patent sky-clearer. The Herald itself will print his name on its front page in large, black display type. Nay, it will go further. It will start a subscription list after the manner of the cyclone list and it will Bend its reportorial staff and its editorial staff and its "devil" to the far corners of the earth to search out wealth to make the in ventor a power in the land. For it is many moons since we have gazed on a ball game and we are thirsty and hungry after one. We long to hear once more the merry cry of the umpire: "Three balls," "Four balls; take your base," and the wild roar of the populace thereat. And toward the close of the game we delight to join the crowd and aid them to tear the umpire body from soul and strew his remains over the fair earth. But, alas! we fear it can never was. To-day the sun has hid him behind a gray, opaque mass of vapor and he refuses to shine and the mud deepens. To-morrow Maker's "freaks" were to be here but from present indications nothing will be done as base ball is a game that cannot be played on the water. The windows of several of the business houses are decorated with the new lithograph ads cf the games, nnd they're like the ball team winners. The minstrel show is being pushed for all it's worth and it's a sure go. Duncan Clark's company robbed Keinhackel of some of his most ancient gags and he io sad and dejected in consequence. He says if a good show had done it he wouldn't kick but, under the circum stances, he is "fo'ced." 1 atterson and Kennedy, the song and dance team, are a whole show in themselves. Don't miss 'em.
