The Situation Analysed.

The Democrats have been greatly
worried about the claim made by the
Times and other Republican papers
that resubmission is only attainable
through the Republican party. In a
vain hope that they'd see the point,
we've told them that the Democracy
would never be foolish enough to
throw away their entire stock In trade
and expect customers to waste their
time in gazing ut empty shelving, but
even that didn't appear to satisfy
them In fact, il worried them more.
1t made them mad. What-was meant
to be an act OF Kindness on our part,
turned out to be like rubbing ca :
back the wrong way.
But truth is mighty, and must pre-
vail, and NIL that is necessary is to look
into history, and all parties and men
will receive Justice and stand before
the people in their natural colOrs, with
no distiguring rainbow embellish
ments.
We will begin with the statement
that the Senate in session i'm 1888 was
the same that passed the prohibitory
law under the prohihity constitution
al amendment.
And We. this same senate, composed
entirely of Republicans, except II
couple of lone Democrats, passed IA
joint resolution in 1888, providing for
a constitutional convention, one form
of resubmission, by vote of twenty
eight to eleven.
But what happened in the lower
house?
The joint resolution was sent to that
body as having been adopted by the
senate. and the house defeated il by Il
vote of IS 10 42-eleven absent or not
voting. The constitutional majority
required was only 83-two-thirds of
the vote of the. whole house yet
it was allowed to fail for ten votes.
And this is a body composed of only
II straight Republicans, % Democrats,
Is Grcenbackers, Independent Re-
publicans elected rs AUTHORIZATIONS
lists, 4 Independents and 4 Indepcnd-
ent Republicans.
Ii is very interesting to know who is
responsible for this defeat The Dem
ocrats had made loud protestations
then rs they are doing now that they
would tear their shirts into shreds for
resubmission, aud if there was any
thug decided about them it was re-
submission. They still talk this way,
with either an utter disregard for
history or supreme ignorance that in
this day of enlightenment is surpris-
ing.
But the House Journal, the official
record, is not very interesting book
and has little of fiction about it, so we
may excuse them. Turning: for them,
however, to page 1920 of the House
Journal. under the heading, "Gen,le-
men Voting in the Negative" in other
words, gentlemen opposed to con-
sfitutional convention we find:

WHY OHIO is ALL RIGHT.

The situation in Ohio is very en-
couraging TO the Republicans. They
do not claim or expect large major
ity on the state ticket in October. Ii
is apparent, however, that. considcra-
BILE masses Of voters who supported

Americans 'lu Cincinnati alone the
Hislnnen who have enrolicd themselves
for Blaine and Logan are numbered
by the thousands. The Republicans
expect the wool growers. and the coll
ored strength. The colored people vo-
ted for Iioadly because he was an old
abolltionist. The wool growers voted
for him on false promise of Il restor

HANDS OFF.

Speaking Of the order of the depart
ment lately bouncing from the Indian
Territory number of heavy cattle
men who had no leases from the In
dams the Leavenworth Times quotes
what the EAGLE had to say and adds:
"Now, we hope the Republican adj
minisration Al. Washington has not
done anything that win be distasteful
TO the gentlemen who, in the Chicago
Democratic national convention, ex-
erted themselves TO protect the inter
cs.s of The cattle companies whose
members are becoming rich of of the
public lands. And especially do we
hope that if there is any crusade Of
this kind, the authorities will keep
their eycs oil the borders OF Kansas.
Ii may not suit our Tom. and he may
blow on them. and if he does that they
will think they haze come in contact
with ''sure-cnough" Kansas cyclone.

But we are patient. This year the
Republicans have not leased out the

When To Sell.
American Farmer.

Many a farmer, not satisfied with
current rates for his products, holds
without definite ideas about chan
ces without informing himself
what influences are exerted, to adj
vance or depress prices, simply
waiting, Micawber-like, for some
thing to turn up. There is no wis
dom in this course. When the
markets are steady, with general
tendencies upward, and he has
full understanding of the situation,
he may wait without mourning
risks, that is to say, he may await
his convenience for the delivery
take his own time when it will best
fit intothe general work. But when
prices fuctuate materially, he will
do better to "catch on" as the street
phrase runs, when the price had
suitable margin of profit. That for
him is the time, while to use it
will be very likely to put his prod
ucts at the bottom. Market report,
made up fairly, not in the interest
of buyers, and seller, but rather to
represent the true condition of af-
fairs, become safe guides to sound
Judgment, and such reports are &C.
cessible to all farmers.

Political Preferences.

"A canvass which the New York
Tribune has made for the Senators
and Assemb lynen of Albany in re-
gard to the National nominations
for next year, shows that the Re
publicans have no decided personal
choice for candidate, and SO far as
their observation goes their constitu-
ents have no particular preferences
either. All they want is the best
man. Among the Democratic Sen
ators and Assemblymen, Mr.. Til
den is the first favorite and Mr..
Cleveland second, while Mr.. Hew-
lit, Mr.. Mcdonald and several 9TH
ers are scattering" In other words
so far as Candidates are. concerned
there is not much choice, and what
there is, is mixed.

Whipping Working c,ris.
Peck,s Sun.


"A story has been going the rounds
that the working girls in Canada
are whipped by their employers. A
Toronto correspondent says:
ut is nearly a year since when,
owing to my fathers death, ] had
to go to work. Shortly alter getting
my place the forewoman told me /
had spoiled pair of corsets by my
carelessness, and that she would
dismiss me, or else / must take a
whipping. With such an alterna-
tive | submitted to a whipping, and
got very severe and humiliating
punishment, and seldom a day
passes but some girl-many of them
almost women-gets whipped in
the factory where 1 work and i
believe the same is very general.
The Sun was inclined to look
upon the stories as overdrawn, il
not fabrications, as it did not seem
possible that human beings could
whip working girls, but a wO-
man living now in Milwaukee,
writes as follows to the editor
OF this paper:
"The enclosed is. from a Chicago
paper anu i KNOW III 10 De true, as
have worked in factories in Canada
and England and have myself been
very severely whipped for spelling
work. / am now a woman %
years old, and have been whipped
this year two dozen strokes on the
bare hips with riding whip, and
have seen girls whipped nearly ev.
cry day in the same way, bending
over a lounge with the clothing en-
tirely removed from the parts
named. If they refused TO submit
they were discharged and pay
lost"
If this is true Canada cannot be
annexed TO the United States until
the Dominion can furnish certifi.
cate of good character.

Retirement of Veteran Reporter.
Whitehall Review.

When the house of commons as
sembles again the reporters gallery
will be found to have lost its most
striking figure. Mr.. Charles Ross,
for about half a chntury the chief
of The Times parliamentary staff,
is about to retire. Extreme old
age, for the veteran has seen nearly
four score years of life, is the cause
of his retirement. His venerable
face and form, and still youthful
buOyancy, will be greatly missed
by the occupants of the gallery.
That he should have continued to
discharge his most delicate and try
ing duties so long is an example of
what keen mind, combined with
a well-balanced and well-cared-for
body, is capable.
