The old Democratic standby, the
Cincinnati Enquirer, is throwing of
the mask. 1t says:
"Not the shade of a shadow Of the
third party was seen at the New FORK
election. There were none but the
Democrats and GRANTEES. This, to-
gether with the result in Ohio and the
other States, effectually disposes of the
story that the people were sick of the
old parties. That nonsense is pretty
effectually crushed out. Men can vote
Republican or they can be Democratic.
You pay your money and you take
your choice Parties numbering three
to four millions of voters are not to be
summarily kicked off the stage of ac-
ton"
This is the real position of every
one of the leaders of Democracy
They may for a time unite with the
odds and ends of the opposition they
may tickle the political part of the
Changers with most aflectionate
words. bnt the end will be, "men can
vote Republican or they can be DEM
ocratic," as the Enquirer now boldly
says. The leaven ESQ called of bolt
ing Republicans in the proportion of
say one in twenty or one in ten can't
change the. old Democratic party. Old
organs of that party may affect to be
the best of friends of those whom they
see striking at the Republican party,
but they will never consent that the
new recruits shall take front seats.

Magma Charta, the Bill of Rights,
and the Constitution of the United
States. all unite in guaranteeing to a
person accused Of crime the right OF
trial by a jury Of his "peers." The
average respectable citizen of New
York does not banker after a pcerage
which elevates him to the jnry-box,
and condemns him to listen to Gala
boose-court oratory for a week at a
time, and, TO avoid the bcstowmcnt OF
such an honor, he is willing 10 deprive
himself of the right of suffrage.
Hundreds. ii not thousands. of re.
putable business men of New York
City refused to register their names
for the last election, knowing that the
lists of jurors were prepared from the
registry. The Palladium is getting
into bad reputc.

The trial by Jury is becoming by-
.coyd in many parts of the country
1t seems impossible to have impan.
nelled twelve men in the city of New
York who will convict q scoundreI
like Boss Tweed. Everybody knows
he is guilty. but his money employs the
best legal talent in the land and his
money also buys one or more jury
men. This practice in all the larger
cities where the culprit has money per-
tains to an alarming extent. II also
creeps in more or less in all parts of
the country and so communicates the
the courts of justice that q farce of adj
ministering justice often occurs.
1t is hard to point out remedy. In
fact we think but little else can be ap-
piled save through the discretion of
The conrt and the selection of jurors
from which to choose. We have no
doubt but that trials by the court by
TAR more frequently arrive at Just ro-
suits than by jury. 1t is the rascals
who never want a inryman with sense
above Clam and what they have of a
dishonest nature.

Foreigners recently landed upon our

native lands NMmberess applications
of this kind are daily made to the
masters Of vessels leaving New York.

the request. The reason is, that they

GEkMANY. AUSTRIA AND ITALY.


WITHIN the last two years, Emperor
William, of Germany, Emperor Fran
els Joseph. of Austria, and King
Victor Emanuel. of Italy, have had
most friendly and brotherly inter-
views. These great central powers of
Europe arc evidently in close friendly
alliance at this time. This alliance is
a part Of the wise and mastery policy
of the greatest Premier of Europe of
this day, Bismarck. II forms an asso-
ciated power on the Continent that is
able to cope with any possible combi-
nation that might be made among
European nations. If we mistake
not, tie key to this alliance at this
time, is the wrestling from the hands
OF the present Pope his temporal
power, so far, at least, as it pertains to
these powers. and also to appoint a
successor to the present Pope, of more
liberal views who shall accord with
them. This is great battle, and
should Bismarck succeed, it will be
one of the grandest achievements of
the nineteenth century for the Old
World. Indeed, this was boldly an.
nounced as the chief subject of nego-
tiation between Count Andrassy, of
Austria, and Bismarck, by the Vienna
Press after the Court dinner at Wen
ma, participated in by Kaiser William
and Francis Joseph on the occasion of
their meeting at the Vienna EXPOSE
ton.
AT this meeting the Emperor of
Austria gave the following toast:
''My most heartfelt wisli-namely,
TO welcome my dear friend and broth.
or before the close of the Universal
Exposition in Nienna-having been
fulfilled, raise my glass with joyful
heart and warm thanks to the welfare
of our dear guest. Long live his
Majesty the German Emperor and
King Of Prussia"
Emperor William replied:
"Your Majesty-Allow me to ex-
press my warmest and most heartfelt
thanks for the gracious words we have
just heard. join thereto the express
ton OF my gratitude for the hospit-
able and friendly reception which the
Empress, my consort, and my children
have met with here. 1t is especially
gratifying to me to have been able to
return during the Exhibition the
friendly visit which your Majesty to-
gether with his Majesty the Emperor
of Russia, paid to Berlin last year. |
The friendly sentiments exchanged
between lis then, and which have been
here in their fullest extent,
arc pledge of European peace and Of |
the future welfare of our people. /
drink 10 the prosperity Of the Elnper-
or of Austria and King of Hungary,
my exalted friend and brother"

That portion OF the Changers of
Wisconsin, who either knowingly or
unwittingly assisted Democracy in
getting into power in that State have
now ample time to reflect upon the
gain probable or possible that they
have made in such a result. The Sec
rotary of State they have elected is
one Doyle, who for years past has
been the private secretary of John
Lawler, manager of The Milwaukee
and st. Paul Railroad
The Democracy throughout the
State and largely in the nation claim
ii as Democratic victory. What is
the case in Wisconsin would also have
been true in Iowa had the Fusionists
here succeeded in eiecting their State
ticket.
What reasonable man can there be
who could suppose that the interests
of the farmer or the interests of cheap
transportation could be better served
or rs well served by the election of
Jacob G. Vale Governor as by the
election of Governor Carpenter. No
man acquainted with those men, with
their ability. with their record and
their honesty of purpose. can doubt
but that the latter could and would
| do infinitely more for the interests OF
cheap transportation than the former.
Take again Judge Beck and b. J,
Hall. What possible gain to the in.
| terests of the farmers could there be
| in the unscating OF Beck and placing
Hall in his place. So on with the en-.

ing account OF her recent visit to the

OF all causes operating TO bring
these men to prison, the foremost is
drunkenness. A few weeks ago at
Sunday School the inquiry was made
of the prisoners at Fort Madison as to
the prime cause of their present con-
dition. Fifty-four of the two hundred
and seventy sixm men congrcgated there
rose to their feet and testified that ii
was liquor that brought them to their
present degradation and misery.

FROM CUBA.

HAVANA, via Key West, Nov. b.
The following account of the event at
Santiago dc Cuba has been received
here:
On Friday morning 81 ofthe Virgin
ius crew were brought ashore and Ia
ken to the prison house, to remain
there until their execution, which
was ordered for that afternoon. Capt
Fry, noble looking old man, fully
head taller than the rest of the crew,
when he met his men, previous to the
march TO the prison, saluted them all,
fiction. At 4 40 Capt. Fry and &c
of his men and officers were publicly
shot, despite the protest of all compe-
tent foreign authorities. The marines
were seven minutes killing the wretch
ed prisoners, and it seemed as if they
would never finish. AT last the sail
OFFS were marched off and the troops
filed past the long row of corpses.
Then the dead carts were hurried up
and loaded Unfortunately with the
mangled remains.
The American Consul has done all
that could have been done. Indeed it
was threatened that his exequator
would be Withdrawn for his exertions
in behalf of the prisoners. In an in
terview with General Bemell, that Of
ficer yelled at the American Consul
and otherwise maltreated him. The |
British Consul also made an NEGLECT
ual protest against the executions. 1t
is reported that sixteen OF the victims
were British subjects.

of the creWsof the Virginius not shot |

One more thing we will add,
that If the fight must continue, orlif
the fight is not thoroughly and radio

WAsHrNToN, Nov. 1S.--There is no
news from Minister Sickles or Consul
General Hall concerning the Cuban
matter to-day.
Information from Madrid shows
that the Spanish Government is in
earnest in its professions of friend
ship for the United States, and ex-
presses anxiety to do everything in its
power not only 10 preserve but to
strengthen the peaceful relations now
existing between the two countries.
Apart from commercial relations,
Spain desires the general support oil
the United States to permanently cs-
tablish Republican Government.
Hence the report received here gains
credit, that orders have been issued by
the Spanish Admiralty to the Spanish
naval officers in the West Indies to
observe the utmost caution in their
