TO BE truly Democratic, accord- ing to those who are sportive over General Harrison's grandfather, one must have two or three wives and some illegitimate children, must chew a straw in the agony of cogita- tion, and must run from the enemy whenever his schemes fora mise have unfortunately failed. It may be nice, but it’s awfully hard work. mpro- OUR ROLAND. HE UNHAPPINESS of being respectably connected would be poignant, of course, if the gentle- man thus afflicted were to be pitted against a gentleman whose grand- father was hanged for murder: but we must remember—aha!—that Mr. Cleveland had one or two family predecessors who actually preached the genuine gospel and led in the orthodox hymn, Let the enemy put that in his mean old pipe and smoke it, shame ; dat’s what [ t'inks Mxs. STEREINS—"* W frough wiv mah face TARIFF AND SURPLUS. T is self-evident to every considerate man that the administration hue and cry about the surplus is intended to be and is a cover for some ulterior purpose. Atany time during the present congress the accumulations in the treasury would have ceased had the leaders of the majority so desired. The Juvce cheerfully acknowledges its indebtedness to Messrs. Sherman & McHue, photographers of West Forty-second street, for the excellent photographs from which it ives the pictures of Harrison and Morton A SERIOUS THEFT.

The surplus growing by this, in- stead of lessening, will call for still further and further reduction and suc- cessive progressive steps towards free trade. The whole course of the administration has been a series of ¢ ments and hedgings. The cant delusions of civil service were displaced by the acceptable demands of political heclers. The protective element of the Democratic party has been ordered to the rear. been humiliated, and its leaders degraded to the ranks. Its exponents have Mr. Randall—too honest to apostatize for the spe ship—stands denounced and graced.

The hazard is that specious and delusive pleadings. in- tentional warpings of the evidence by the administration ato whose retention depends upon success, may win. Yet it does not seem possible that the people of the United States canbe forgetful that the tried Republican policy—not an experiment. | experience—has given it so unequaled a prosperity, Notwithstanding and debt, and personal and national expenditure, it stands peerless in we and vigor, and unparalleled among the nations of the world. j THAT AWFUL SILENCE.
