Tribune says st. John writes that he
lever offered or proposed to cell out
to the Republicans. He continues {:
II am to-day, and always have been,
comparatively poor man. The Re-
pu blican party may burn me in effigy
and continue its threats of personal
violence; 1t may open its foodyates
of falsehood and utilization and bit
terness upon me, but 1t can never
swere me n jot or 1.-THE from doing
what my conscience tells me is right,
The campaign of '8S has already be-
gan, and the warfare against the
liquor traffic will be vigorously pros
ecuted. The political party that
stands in the way of this movement
of the people in defense of their
homes will get hurt. The spirit of
intolerance exhibited by the Repub.
llcanp press to-day is doing for that
party just what the same spirit did
for the pro-slavery party thirty years
ago Hanging men in efigy and in
dulglng in falsehood and utilization
Is not argument" This is the word
with the bark on. St. John is right.
Hanging a man in effigy is a poor
argument against his cause. The act
denounces the weakness of these who
engage in this fOOlishness,

The London Explosion.

LONDON, 6 a. M, Dec. ii. Beyond
tho undoubted fact made to blow up
the London Bridge the police have
absolutely no Iii, ,rmation of the
affair. It Is now supposed that
dynamite was used in the ex.
plosion and Was dropped over
the bridge and alighted on the
buttress. The damage done consists
chiefly of broken windows in the
houses in the vicinity. A boot black
relates his experience of the ex-
plosiOn. as follows: II was clean
a gentlemans boots, when suddenly 1
'elt the earth shake about me and
Immediately after there was a terrific
explosion, and l was stunned. When
[ recovered consciousness the gentle
had disappeared" The buttress on
which the explosion is supposed to
have alighted is only slightly
damaged. Persons crossing the
bridge at the time of the explosion
were thrown down, and many gas
jets in the vicinity were extingushed
by the concussion.

Rolling MILLS Suspended.

P1TTsBURG, Dec. 15.-Notice was
posted on Edger Thompson's steel
works at Brlddocks, to-day, ordering
the suspension of the works to-mor-
row in all departments for an IN
definite period. The order which is
a complete surprise to the workmen,
is caused by a lack of orders and
great depression in the nail business.
The firm are unable to say how long
the works will remain idle. Re-
sumption might be ordered in a few
weeks, and pc. haps not for months.
Az all depended upon the market
aud the demand. About 1910 en-
ployes are directly affected by the sns-
pension, but indirectly between 5000
and 1000, all are sufferers. The
monthly payroll amounts to q hun
dred and ff y thousand dollars.

THE WHEAT OUTLOOK.

There will be q remarkable reduc
ton Of the wheat acreage all over the
world the coming year. The price
which this cereal commands to-day
10 lower than 1t has been for genera
tions and will not pay for raising. Cal
ifornia, one of the great wheat regions
Of the world, is sick of the crop. The
eastern and central states lose y good
sum on every bushel raised; and even
much land is not plowed and many
intend to let a part of their farm land
lie idle next year, while others will
increase the variety of crops and raise
less wheat. In some states it is con-
eded that there will be q general
abandonment of wheat as q market
crop next year. Az usual when the
prices of any commodity are low, the
farmers rush to the other extreme,
abandon IT., and when prices are
forced to q paying figure by q dimin-
ished supply, find themselves unable
to take advantage of The raise. A
variety of crops ia always the safest
and in the end most profitable.

THE NEW REGIME.

Washington society, says al ex-
change. is already agitated by ru-
mors and approximations Of new social
sets that it is believed will be the re-
suit Of the political revolution. The
Washington Herald predicts that
there Will be three factions, composed
Of the powers that be-, the powers
that expect to be, and the powers
that tried to be and couldn't.
It is safe to say here that, as far as
an official example will be set at the
White House, society will be less ex-
trsvagant. less pretentious, less hyp-
oc~ritlcal, and more republican in it
tastes and conduct.
Whether President Cleveland will
drink tea like Hayes, or Sunday
school lemonade like Garfield, or
take bis Burgundy like Arthur, is of
little consequence, but there is . pro-
found conviction in Washington that
there will not be q horde of contrac-
ors,speculators lobbyists, and jobbers
in the White House to help him
drink it.
The whole character and conduct
Of the man in public life give: rise to
the belief that he will restore to the
Presidents official life something of
the dignlied simplicity which char
acterized the White House in olden
lines.
That the element Of Republican
flummery and social oetentation which
has grown to be such . large faction
in Washington life since the war
will be offended at the return to first
principles may be readily expected.
But 1t lie certain that the people who
elected Mr.. Cleveland will be satisfied
il he sets IN example of modest pro-
priety, courteous hospitality, and un-
pretentious democratic good sense
and god Taste. And that much bis
public life up to this time warrant.
. in expecting.
