CONTINUANCE OF THE REVOLT
ASSURED.

The NeaC York World and Boston
Post take the same view Of the result
of the late elections in the Northwest
ern States as heretofore expressed by
the UNI0Y AND AMERICAN. The
World says: "The positive successes
of the opposition to Radical principles
and candidates everywhere have settled
a point frequently mooted. TherevOlt-
ing Republicans, whose votes added to
those of the Democratic party practi-
cally wiped out from the map of Radi-
calism the word Northwest, will not be
satisfied with the possession of the
county treasures, the Legislatures, or
the State governments. Already they
are looking towards renewal of the
engagement in the Congressional dis
tricts, the Senatorial elections, the
State elections-some indeed are al
ready anticipating victory in the
Presidential race three years hence.
This means thnt no Republican con-
vention can decide who shall be return
ed to Congress and the State govern
ments, and that wherever in the West
Democrats are not returned men will
be returned who in all the essentials
on the tariff question, on all matters OF
monopOly-are devoted to Democratic
principles.
In view of the cordial alliance Of the
farmers and the Democrats IN the
Western States, the Boston Post rea-
sons as follows: "A fresh popular ele-
ment has thus been infused into the
Democratic party, which at once reno
Yates its character and gives it an in
vincible position. With that reinforce
ment secured, it is prepared to deal au-
thoritatively with the important prob
lens Of the future. The opposition
press naturally prefers to regard this
movement of the farmers as an impul-
siye, hayward and temporary affair,
whose strength is already spent with its
first exertion, but victory is not usually
the source OF Encouragement, nor is a
union which has been rewarded with
success apt to fall away and dissipate
itself. Such alliances become the firm
er for their triumphs, and the present
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1873-11-22
THE RESULT IN NEW YORK.


1t is now certain that the Republi-
cans will have a majority in both
branches of the Legislature, In the
Twenty third District the Republican
candidate for senator has been counted
in by one majority. This makes the
Senate stand: IL Republicans, IA Dem
ocrats, and farmer or granger Endorsed
by the Democrats. Two Of the Repub
hcans, however, are opposed to the
Custom-house ring who are running
the party. In the Assembly districts
several Democratic candidates have
been defeated by less than thirty votes.
That branch Of the Legislature will
stand "a Republicans, So Democrats,
and l Independent Republican Endorsed
by the Democrats. These figures give
the Republican party full responsibiity
for the legislation of the next session.
The official canvass reveals the fact
that the Democratic candidate for
State Engineer and Surveyorruns ahead
of his tickets and will have nearly or
quite 10000 majority, Next to him is
Thomas Rains, for State Treasurer,
who will have nearly 1900 majority,
while James jackson, ir., Democratic
candidate for Canal Commissioner, will
have over II, 900 majority. Themajor-
ity for Daniel Pratt, the Democratic
candidate for Attorney General, will be
a little less than that for Mr.. Willers.
1t now appears that Mr. Platt, the Re
publican candidate for inspector of
State Prisons, who was Endorsed by the
Liberals, will have between 1900 and
5000 majority, thus giving the Repub-
licans all the members of that board.

THE COST OF WAR.

Now, that the people are thinking
and talking of war with Spain, it may
not be amiss to call their attention 20
the cost of foreign war as proved in
1870, when Frenchmen INDUCED in the
mad cry of ''on to Berlinl'' Instead of
taking Berlin, the Prussians took
Paris, and that in a remarkably short
time. M. Magne, the French Minister
of Finance, in a recent report shows
that with very moderate taxes the pub
lie treasury had a surplus over all
expenses of S15,O00,000 under per-
fectly normal conditions" in 1869. The
budget for 1874, in spite of large
number Of new taxes, shows a deficit
of S3S,000,00 below expenses, Viewed
solely in its financial relations and the
long continued burden of taxation, war
is a serious business; and taxpayers
land all who either eat or drink pay
taxes in the United States as well
as IN Europe,) should ponder the
perils, Generalization, and loss of
life not less than the expense of a ma
tional conflict. Our late calamitous
civil war cost human blood enough to
satisfy Mars for the balance of this
century, if be is a reasonable god. 1t
is time for a free people with New Tes-
lament ideas and principles to think of
beating spears into pruning hooks and
swords into plowshares. One wrong
cannot Justify another But we can
not permit a few hot-headed political
fanatics in Cuba to insult our national
flag and butcher American citizens
with IMMUNITY. Sixty years ago we
were waging war with the strong power
Of Great Britain in our weakness, be-
cause the 'fmigtress of the seas would
not concede that the stars and stripes"
should protect the vessel and seamen
over which they waved. Can we yield
a right of search and capture to Spain
which was denied to England? Ger
tainly not.

a CASE IN POINT.

1t makes all the difference in the
world with Grant who are charged with
committing frauds in elections. The
Maryland election occurred on the 4th
inst, and instead of carrying the State,
as Creswen, who was an aspirant for
Senatorial honors, confidently antici-
pated. the Radicalswere utterly routed.
ThTeupon the cry Of fraud was raised,
and the H'G&th'gioR Republican of the
18th inst, gives the result as follows:
Nv. w. Dannenhower, Esq, form
erly of Washington, and now resident
of Prince Georges county, Maryland
has been appointed Assistant United
States District Attorney for that State,
with instructions to proceed against
parties accused Of violating the election
laws."
This presents a striking contrast to
Grants course in the case Of Louisiana.
1t has been clearly shown that outra-
geous frauds had been committed in
Louisiana by the Kellogg faction, but
instead of appointing an Assistant
United States District Attorney to
prosecute the shamelessviolaters of law
and justice, he foisted upon that State
an illegal government, and he sustains
that usurpation to this day. Maryland
and Louisiana illustrate Grants mean
partisanship.

WAR WITH SPAIN.

Our Geographic columns fairly bris-
tie this morning with dire omens of
war. Whether or not the Spanish saw
geries of Cuba have eliminated at
Madrid in the murder of the American
Minister, hangs in doubt as we write.
Two successive attacks by n obs on the
quarters occupied by the American
Legation are mentioned, and it is re-
ported that Gen. Sickles has been shot
Our Washington officials think the
Madrid government can control the
mob, but if it made any honest efforts
to do so after the first attack, a second
attack would seem to prove its Interim
potency. Our rulers still cling to the
mirage of a republic in Spain, forget
ting that Castelar's government is but
the creation and creature of the COM
paunards who are outrag.ng all inter
national law by violating The
sacredness of foreign ambassadors
in their thirst for American blood. The
republican government may be anxious
to avoid complications with us, as we
have heretofore opined, but the devel-
opments of Friday go far towards prov
ing that it has no more power in Mad
rid than in Santiago de Cuba, SO far as
the prevention of outrages on our flag
and citizens is concerned. Is not our
sluggish administration leaning on a
broken reed? We wish well of the
Spanish republic, and hope for its sake,
as well as our own, that this portentous
war-cloud may yet blow over. What
ever may be the event, there are some
features of the present situation
most painful to all patriotic Americans,
and disgraceful to the present Admin
istration. We are to-day, as nation,
face to face with the problem of war,
but utterly unprepared for it. So much

branch of the United States service,

mechanics and others thrown out of
employment by the. panic. War means
Government employment for thousands,
and it is an American failing to prefer
working for Government to any other
master. Remembering the flush times
Of 1922, when the currency reached
a volume of Sl,lOO,OO0.0OO, many think
all our financial troubles would disap-
pear in similar inevitable imitation.
Such would likely be the case Temporal
rily-but at what a terrible cost to come
after,
