Abram S. Hewitt says Ae doesn't like Cleveland. The friends of Governor Hill obviously hate Clev land rather more than they hate everything poisonous except the alcoholic ticle, The mugwumps are disappointed in Cleveland,and many of them will vote surreptitiously for Harrison, ‘The people of Buffalo believe in Cleve- land about as the late Mr. Darwin believed in the biblical theory of the cre. tion—and in Buffalo that man got his start in political life. Isthere a Demo- crat anywhere who likes Cleveland—who swings his hat for Cleveland except as a result of a sudden reflection as to his political duty? Not one—not one, All Democrats who are for Cleveland are for him with a protest and an apology, as they are for free trade with a protest and an apology for that. THE POLITICAL THE MISERY OF KINDNESS. GARFIELD had been a poor man he might have been living to-day. If Unser Fritz had been a poor man he might have lived a few months IF longer; but his earlier death was merciful, for it relieved him of a great deal of misery, ‘There is not too much medical or surgi blessed is the man who c having coming al science ; but y death when the time comes for it, » apprehension that he will be saved for the mere purpose of be- an emperor or of serving the designs of the party to which he n die an e: happens to belong. There is too much kindness for eminent men, and it is as cruel as that which uses the patient of the hospital for the benefit of a profession and the good of mankind. THE MAN AND THE HENCHMEN D B.

THE FREE-TRADE SOUTH. N impartial and careful comparison of the two tariff bills pres congressional consideration, the Mills bill of the Deme Republican senatorial tariff bill, will be profoundly impressive of the wide sulf that divides the purposes of the two, ‘The Mills bill in its spirit is destrac- tive, and the senate bill protective of American interest& ‘The latter gives evidence of the careful work of experienced statesmen, just as the other shows a Texan tearing of the ‘The purpose of any tariff revision is to diminish the income of the government, now larger than our immediate needs, ‘The last Republican administration used the surplus in payment of the debt.

The southern and border states, including even Delaware, the Dis- trict of Columbia, Missouri and West Virginia, have invested in manufa turing three hundred and fifty million dollars, New York alone has five hundred and fifty, and Pennsylvania four hundred and seventy-five millions of dollars. The northern states have in the aggr nd five hundred millions of dollars, or seven times as much as the south, invested ther than agricultural industries, The northern agricultural resources and revenues are nevertheless four times as great as the total agricultural values of the south, It is only through the Democracy that these great interests can be handed over to “the enemies they have mage.” The speeches of Carlisle and Thurman andthe utterances of Vest show plainly that the same policy of free trade inspires the Democracy to-day that has deluded it since John C. Calhoun injected his maddening virus into its veins. It is a question when the rabies of the great South Carolinian will wear out. First its venom was simply snappish nullification, Next it was, the mad ferocity of the rebellion, Is this last phase any the less dangerous because less noisy?
