m others to reason that the State would PROB

Rut that vote i'm October would nave D2c1
inevitably fatal in New York in November.
The truth Is that the Democrats HAD III
.renched themselves with extraordinary power
and skill I'm two great States. They had
cantured Ohio. and the skill of the Mclean
Uo,dlv management had made it almost impos-
sib,o IN wrest the State from them. Their
orc,nization was the most perfect ever known;
tbev had money without limit; they had used
thc ofico of Governor. the control of Hamilton
Co,,tv and many other counties, the Legisla
ture and the Supreme Court. so effectively as to
make the success Of any Republican extremely
difficult and doubtful. They had also captured
New-York with Cleveland, and inttencheu
themselves here with fine organization anu
unlimited command of money. Here they had

Influence in the greatest importing city Oh the
country. With either of these states some
others were almost sure to go. Had the Demo-
cratic marty carried Ohio it was sure to win
Jp1opo had it carried NcwYorll it was sure
to win New-Jerscy and Connecticut. Mean
while the Pacific States, reserve OF fourteen
votes. seemed safe for the Democratic candl-
date against almost anybody and Michigan
after the Greenback movement OF last year, was
doubtful for any Republican.
This powerful line Mr.. Blaine broke III ONO.
Thereby he gained by far the best chance OF
success in New York. and would have won here
hcyond n doubt but for events in the last
week. which no candidate could have prevented.
No other candidate can be named VINO wouid

If that h, true no other can be named who
could have reached the first of November with
ANYTHING like an even chance of success. III
was Mr.. Blaines personal strength, and his
own bundles resources and courage, when
nearly saved the Republican party from what
had seemed in 1852 10 be inevitable defeat. In
that year the popular majority against Re-
publican candidates in the state and Congress
sioual elections was 10000. More than three
lourths OF that advantage at the least has been
swept away. Nine great States have been
recovered to the Republican party, lost only
two years ago, pluralities against 1t OF 23'oOo

was missed only by thousand votes In spite OF
all the odds against which the Republicans had
to contend and in spite of all accidents which
no one could have ioreseen.

Beyond doubt, the great anxiety OF business
men in commercial cities for the past year or
two has been regarding the effect OF silver COM
age. The steady exhaustion OF gold reserves IN
the Treasury, and the consequent weakening oil
that reserve for the purpose OF maintaining the
public credit, have been a main cause of tho
distrust which has prevailed. For two success
,ive years, Republican Presidents, Secretaries
and the Director of the Mint have earnestly
recommended tho suspension of silver coinage.
until there should bc Il demand for the supply
of silver already coined. EngroSscd IN tho dis
cussion of the tariff question, the last Republic
eau Congress rnlcd 10 act on the subject. Busy
in the s.lmc discussion. and IN President maxi
ing, the present Democratic Congress az its late
session avoided the question altogether.

does not arrest the evil. Each month the Gov
eminent is paying out gold for about
81, 100 900 silver. whcrcwith to make more
useless coins Each month part or the whole OF
the amount accumulatcs in the Treasury, and
the stock of unemployed silver has now
risen Ia %l77,OO0,OOO. Against this there are
outstanding about 500, 100000 silver ccrtii-
Gates The addition of these to the circulation
only tends to promote the boarding of gold and
To prevent its free circulation. The Treasury
now has $1l,O0O,0O0 more silver and
1923, 600, 900 less gold than it had year ago, in
excess of the certificates outstanding. II has
out, moreover, $lSs. GO7,13 in gold and silver
certificates. against S137.llO,j61 Il year ago,
an initiation of paper circulation amounting to
about Sol, 900, 900 during the year. 1t is not
strange that, rs the Director Of the Mint shows,
about 81 g, 900, 900 in gold have been boarded
and large amount has also gone abroad.
II is the duty Of Congress Ia apply some
remedy. This cannot go on much longer with
ont serious consequences. By many ii is be-
ievcd that the past depression In business has
been largely due tO the threatened drlascnent

AdHllai Porter "a his annual report tells tho
country plainly that u has no navy, just 40 the
Chirf Of The Engineers recently told il that
had no coast deiences. Admiral Porter thinks
that the United States ought to possess a navy
capable of coping with those of the European
Powers But 1t is not probable that the Amer
lean people will consent to the expenditure
necessary for carrying out such plan and
seeing how difficult it has been thus far To per-
suade Congress into the most modest essays in
this direction, moderation is clearly the only
practical policy. At present the country is
absolutely defencelcss, and because tins is so
two lines of action inevitably present them
selves 1t may be too much to expect that
we can obtain an efficient navy and an efficient
system of coast defence at the same time and
therefore we must consider which of the,two is
the more Indispensable We must realize that
if we determine to spend what money can be
spared upon navy, we shall not secure a trust
worthy defence for our coasts unless we follow
Admiral Portcrs advice and raise our navy To
an equality with the European ornaments. A
small navy will not give security to our sea-
ports, i'm short. If We elect To depend upon
war-shps Tor defence We must have plenty
OF them.
ON the other hand, if we prefer the security
of our coasts to the possession of force which
can be- employed rs well cor offence rs defence,
we shall choose n system OF coast Notifications
with heavy guns and torpcdOes, and rcstric; our
naval cxpcnditurcs 10 the construction and
maintenance of II few monitors aud swift

the business sense of the country would choose
THO second plan in preference to the first, mas
much as Il appears 10 offer a moro stable
protection to our seaboard marts of commerce.
OF course the best arrangement would be- to
have an efficient navy and efficient coast
defences too, and some day this will be recvg
nized but for the present it will probably be
thought enough to guard against foreign az

grcss.on and this can be done without greatly
enlargng the navy, if sufficient scope IS allowed
our military engineers, and the mistake is not
made of nrmiug our coast Notifications with
obsolete guns. We must have the best guns as
well rs the best torpedoes. if we are to be safe,
and 1t takes years to obtain the heavy guns
now required. But it is essential that a con-
clusion should be reached as to whether we
shall have ships or forts, for while the country
is balancing between the two systems OF
defence, like Buridan's ass between the two
bundles of hay, an emergency may arise IN
which our utter defencelessness will prove

AgOUT TIE SOLID SOUTH

We have seen an occasional dissent from the
policy mot the justicc) of Mr.. Blaine's recent
speech, on the ground that the Solid South
would now surely fall to pieces having been
kept together hitherto only by the supposed
ntagonism of a Solid North. Now, it Is
argued, the old efforts at suppressing political
discussion and differences at the South will be
abandoned, and the people will divide naturally
on new questions as they arise. There is no
longer a need we ale told for the attempt to
hold the South solidy together, to counter
balance a solid Republican North.
Well we hope so. There Is an excellent
opportunity at once to see whether such state
of feeling exists, and will be carried in good
faith by Southern leaders into Congressional
action,
There Is just ono Territory now really ready
for admission M Stntc. That il the great
wheat growing Territory Of Dakota, whose
wonderful development during the past three
years has been the marvel OF even the marvel
working Northwest. Dakota Is thought to have
mt least 100000 inhabitants, IL sure To grow
rnpidly, and under the conditions on which
other States have been admitted. has mn imme-
date claim. VIII the Democrats consider this
case by itself and vote for the admission OF
Dakota7 Or will they insist on coupling

admitting some rotten borough Southern Ter
ritory which they think they can conrol-Ncw-
Mexico, for instance, which is without agricul-
ture and with n shifting population or worse
still, Utah with its social pcstilence, which
would thus be put beyond National reach
Will the South admit this Northern Territory,
now fully ready for the privileges and response
blites of State or will it keep Dakota back,
or couple its admission with that of Utah or
New-Alexico, to maintain the old balance I

Apparently the speech of Mr.. Blaine docs not
please tho frce-trade copperhoads OF to-day.
1t was not meant to please them. 1t paid no
more attention to them than a locomotive pays
10 the snakes that crawl across the track. But
il angers them, because it shows the Northern
people what those have done who betrayed the
Nation into the power of the Solid South Il
South controlled now ~ in 1861 by those who
sought to destroy the Nation.
The loyal people of the North resent this, not
because the Southern leaders were disoyal
once but because they defy the law and nullify
the Constitution now. The armed disloyalty
of S6l was not more dangerous to the Nation
than the deliberate, cold-bloodcd conspiracy,
by assassination aud massacre. by cruelty and
fraud, 10 deprive people of the rights guaran-
tecd by the Constitution. That crime ough, To
