An Easy Facility for Lying.

The official utterances of a Demo-
cratic State Executive Committee, like
the official utterances of First Lord
of the Admiralty, must be accepted as
unanswerable, and it is very fortunate
that this is so, as otherwise unofficial
people might be likely to consider that
the Indiana Executive Committee had
made an ass of itself in trying to eX-
plain the tremendous licking il got last
Tuesday. So stunning was the blow
that it was fully four days before the
committee recovered consciousness,
and the first evidence it gives of restor-
alton to life is the easy facility with
which it lies like bulletin. The COM
mittee speaks of the partial success OF
the Republican scheme to Africanize
the State for political purposes, when
it is not able to produce a single African
in support of its statement; it speaks
of the corrupt use of money for the
purchase of votes when it cannot fur
nish evidence that a single vote was
purchased, and of the importation and
use of repeaters protected by Deputy
Marshals under the pretense of super
vising the election of members of Con
gress. There is an old proverb that
liars should have long memories, and il
would certainly be well for the Indiana
Democratic Committee to have memo
ry at least week long. A week age
these gentlemen who are now whining
and wailing about Africans and repeat
ers and Deputy Marshals were struttine
before the National Democratic party
with the assurance that they had the
State thoroughly canvassed, that they
knew every vote in every precinct, and
that they had clean majority of II, 00(
votes without counting contemplated
purchases. They begged their friends
to feel safe against any attempt a
fraud, repeating or corruption, rs they
had every poll under close watch ant
strict discipline, and that it was easiel
for the Ethiop to change his skin thar
to ring in bogus vote on the securely
guarded poll-boXes of Indiana. 1t may
be doubted whether any election wa
ever so closely watched rs the Indian;
election. Both sides were wide awake
alert, active and determined, and tn,
political organization of the State wa
so admirable that the enterprising spec
ulators in votes who dropped in to lool
on at the election dropped out withou
taking a hand in ii. 1t was the faires
election ever held in the State of In
diana, and any attempt to explain it ol
the theory of tho Executive Com
niittee Is very thin indeed, L0Rl

The Great Victory.
The Solid South may as well dissolve


The Solid South may as well dissolve
itself.
1t is no longer terrible!
1t is no longer portentous!
1t can go its way and no one will note
or care. Robbed of its Northern allies,
it is as pitifully helpless as it was when
it stood, an apprchended criminal,
trembling, before the Union conqueror
at AppomattOX.
The populace hurrah; hearts swell
and are glad. The victory of Tuesday
removes present menace and future
peril; but let the world mark well what
more il does, and give to the American
character its need of praise.
1t tells that this people detest decep-
ton, hate sham, demand that a party
shall stand for what it is, and not for
what it is not.
The cloak so gaudily labeled "an
honest ballot is the right preservative
of all rights" was torn from the Dem
ocratic figure of Justice on Tuesday,
and behold! the grim skeleton OF Fraud
stood revealed in its place.
"lt is better to be honest" say the
people, "even at the risk of being TN
popular. Stand for what you are! If
you believe in Southern supremacy, say
so openly. If you believe in rebuking
the men who saved the Union and re.
warding those who tried to destroy it,
come forth squarely on that platform.
But this pretense of being wed to hon
esty while you are depending upon
fraud, of loving loyalty while you wor-
ship treason, is too shallow to deceive
American intelligence" This is what
the voice of Tuesday says, and Demo-
Gratis, while lamenting the cry, confess
/ in their hearts its fairness.
1t is a day of despondency to many OF
them, who have been carried by party
feeling to the borders of reckless peril;
but when passion has subsidized even
they will quietly rejoice that the menace
TO our prosperity is past, and that the
greatness of the land, which has budded
so auspiciously, is to blossom and leaf
and bear the fruit of song and prophecy.
The Nation from this year forward is
10 be spelled with capital n.
Its Constitution Is 10 be respected

dred thousand cmigrants came to our shore

Secretary sherman then referred to the re.
cent Democratic circular signed by Potter
Palmer and Others and concluding with tho
statement that "A change of Administration
was necessary to take an account of stock.
Mr.. Sherman replied that the great measures
that had been accomplished by the Rcpubli-
can party-a country saved from rebellion, an
unbOunded credit all the blessings we now
enioyed-could not be measured by the yard
stick He paid an eloquent tribute to Gen.
Garfield and said that the infamous abuse
which had been heapcd upon him by the Dem
ocratic party had done much to arouse the
public sympathy, and tended very much to
bring out the result in Ohio and Indiana The
Democratic party, with its idea of state SOW
ereignty, Gripping and belittling, the Ma.
tional power; which nominated Nnllnn.
digham for Governor of Ohio; which met in
this city in 1864, when Grant was fighting in
the wilderness, and sherman was marching
to the sea, and Farragut was nailed to the
masthead, and demanded the cessation of
hostilities which opposed the Reconstruction
laws, opposed all measures to strengthen the
public credit, had done absolutely nothing for
the public good. On the contrary, the Re.
publican party was the best party that ever
administered this or any other country I'm the
world. He asked the men who were demand
ing change To point out n blot or blemish on
the present Republican Administration. This
Administration has collected $500, 900 600, and
only one third of one cent on the 81 600 has
been lost, while the Administration
of James Buchanan lost 1913 on every 81, 600,
and that of Andrew Jackson S]G6 He wanted
TO know If these Chicago business men wished
to put the Government in the hands of party
controlled by the solid South, a party which
would obstruct resumption, oppose the Ma
tiOnal banks, restore the old ideas of State
rights, destroy the spirit of Nationality which
now controls the country, and made us n Ma
tion of freemen. He believed that, on Nov. /,
50000,000 of freemen, through 1909, 600 Repub-
lican voters, would march onward to the polls

Its laws are to be enforced in every
of the land.

Its laws are to be enforced in every
quarter of the land.
Its flag is to be the emblem of
strength, and not of feebleness.
1t is the beginning of that era when a
citizen of this country is to have pro
lection at home 9s well rs abroad; when
the panoply of the Government will en-
circle him as it did the old Greek,
whose rights were so sacred that the
whole Nation bled when he received q
wound.
With these results in mind chow
paltry," in the words of Conkling, is
the incident that decides for 50,000,-
600 of people the aspirations of indi-
vidual men," Men may come and men
may 60, but the Nation goes on for
ever. 1t is to its grandeur and glory
and steadfasJ liberty that the world
looks, while the hands that build and
burnish the temple are sacredly en-
shrined beneath its affairs.
The victory in November, which
| Tuesdays election so certainly pre-
sages, is filed with significance, is
momentous in its consequences. 1t is
n triumph that gives to the North in
civil affairs what AppomattoX gave it
in a military way fifteen years ago. 1t
settles the mastery in this country, and
shows once more that, when the sec
tions grapple, the North is the superior
in spite of her divisions, and is deter
mined to remain.so. Succeeding now,
she succeeds for score of years
to come, period beyond which
solid sections cannot survive.
Said Garfield at the Chicago Conven-
tion, and the words were timely and
well considered: "Fhe coming fight is
our Thermopyl@. We are standing up
on narrow isthmus. Let us hold our
ground this year and the stars in
their course will fight for us. In the
future the census to be taken this. year
will bring reinforcements and continued
power"
And so it is. The Democratic party
has fought its last fight; its encounter
in November will be formal merely; it
will be simply held up like q fainting
pugilist to be knocked down, and then
its glory and its recent shame will pass
into history, and its existence be num-
bered among the things that were.
This has been said of it before, we
know, but not under like circumstances;
the country-and even the members oil
the party themselves-are ripe for this
consummation now. Like the old dea-
con who fought charge for week,
denying and prevaricating, but at last
confessing, because it was "not the
! part of a good Christian to keep on
, denying when the thing was fairly
proven against him." they will be ready
> to ground arms finally after November
9 This battle is their Waterloo, and 6
political Helena awaits those made
/ prisoners after that time. Vigilance
: activity, care, from now out is all thai
e Republicans need to exercise. The
I men are on hand. The votes are ready
: and when they silently fall into. the boz
il like snowllakes in November, they will

WASHINGTON.

The Chief of the Bureau of Statistics
reports that the total value of exports of do
nestle breadstuffs from the United States
during September last was 500, ,SS1, 1895. For
the nine months ending September 30, $780,

DURING the last fiscal year the prices
realized on Americas exports were about ten
per cent. higher than for the previous year
This increase was on manufactured articles
Rs well as agricultural products.
In reply to the question. Why the
Treasury does not use its accumulating silver
and gold to liquidate the United States bonds
matured or which may be paid at the option
OF the Government" the Treasury Depart
ment says that under the resumption act
there was an accumulated fund for the re-
demption of outstanding legal tender notes
OF about Sl4O,OOO,0O0 being about forty per
cent. of the amount of notes outstanding re-
deemable on demand from that fund and, as
small sum as 1t was, IL was deemed prudent
to hold 1t for that purpose. In addition to
this it is necessary to have a small balance
from which to pay the ordinary current ex-
penses Of the Government, thus making the
total available cash in the Treasury about
$l55,OOO,OOO, though OF course, this amount
varies as the receipts and expenditures of the
Government temporarily increase or diminish.
Beyond that amount, however, there has been
nopermanent accumulation of money in the
Treasury.

The Constitutional amendment pro-
