DON CAMERON,S LnOR

Some surprise was manifested and ex-
pressed when Don Cameron went over to the
support Of Blaine, after the antagonisms that
had existed between them and the especial
offensiveness of Blaine's denunciatious of
the Cameron family. That which puzzled
the Pennsylvania politicians seems very
plain TO them now. With an adroitness and
craft worthy of his disting uished father. Don
did but stoop to conquer. In 1882 the Cam
eron slate was smashed and men politically
hostile to him put into the state Offices In
stead of as eigst and four years ago, Cam
eron led delegation going up to the national
nomination, the anti-Cameron wing sent
Senator Stewart at the head Of the delegation
70 proclaim that Pennsylvania was for Blaine.
The Republicans were forceful enough
70 nominate Blaine without Cameron, out
the time came when they grew nervous and
come to believe they could not eject him over
the Cameron hostility In this condition of
fear and doubt things stood when Blaine was
on his electloneering tour. Blaine sent for
Cameron and begged him not to refuse a
sick man. and good hearted Don journeved
from Harrisburg to Philadelphia, where the
white plumes waved for day or two. Cam
eron found Blaine in a fever Of excitement
about Ohio, and he was besieged to visit that
state and aid in organizing it and put the
Republicans in line to save the state for
Blaine. As an inducementto Cameron to
act, Blaine in his personal appeal pledged
Cameron that he should be returned TO the
Senate by the support of the Blaine
men. The bargain was struck, the Blaine
men who would make Cameron Senator were
duly assigned to him, aud Dor went TO Ohio.
The tide turned and Blaine secured the state,
and Cameron is rot to blame that it did not
make him President. Thus, through the am
bilious fears of Blaine his own friends. who
were largely his friends because Cameron was
hostile, were trescherously deserted and the
Senatorship, which Cameron could not have
secured but through the treaty with Blaine,
was piumply placed in his hands. Cameron
goes back to the Senate, independent of his
state. with no debts to pay as there would
have been If Blaine had not lost. The incl

THE Albany Times speaking Of the New
York Sun, which Mr.. Dana's great editorial
ability has made one Of the most interesting,
influential and successful journals in the
world, credits it with defining its own char
acter thus
"An independent newspaper Of Democratic
principles, but not controlled by any set OF poll
ticIans or manipulators devoted 10 collecting
and publishing all the news of the day in the
most interesting shape and with the greatest
possible promptness, accuracy aud impartiality
and TO the promo To- OF Democratic ideas and
policy in the affairs OF government, society and
industry"
The Sun prides itself upon being absolutely
and reliably correct and impartial in publish
ing the news, and especially the news OF
elections. 1t is this feature that gives it its
great strength and wide circulation, not
outstanding its numerous ''short turns, ~
and strange idiosyncracles. It's table
OF returns of the late election in New York
was the most accurate and reliable OF any,
prior TO the official count, and though vio-
iently opposed to Cleveland, the Sun was
among the first TO perceive and onestly con
cede the election. The New York Tribune
and some other journals, on the contrary,
weakly, foolishly aud dishonesty held out
for week in denying his election, thus
wrecking their character for reliability.

MrsREPREsENrTNG THE soUrH.

The Cincinnati Commercial, whose editorial
columns are open TO the man who conducted
the Extra annex TO the New York Tribune
during the campaign, in = recent double
loaded leader says:
Confederate shouts for JET Davis and all the
leaders in the rebellion have been ringing
throughout the south, and the parade Of rebel
eoiors and singing OF rebel songs, accompanied
by the foulest OF asperstons upon all who have
been the friends in time OF trial OF American
nationality, have been the features OF southern
rejoicing.
This fine frenzy is INDUCED because the
editorial writer is mad at the result of the
Presidential election, and is utterly reckless
as to the truth. A great outery is made
by the defeated party in regard
to the southern section-the solid south, II
you please, because it adhered to the Demo-
cratic party, and no line of argument
whether advanced BY Steve ElkIns, Mr..
Blaine, Senator Hswley, or Billy Malone
could induce the people thereof TO turn trail
tors to their sincere, long entertained, hon.
est convictions. The language of the Gin
cinati editor is only specimen of the many
similar assaults that are appearing in the
northern newspapers opposed to the Demo-
cratic party. One of the class of prints
alluded to puts the matter in the interroga-
tive form and wants to know ''Why the
loyal States of the North should submit to be
ruled by the rebel Confederate States, aided
by the cities Of New York and Brooklyn,
which practically control New Jersey and
Connecticut, their suburbs"
Perhaps people listen to stuff like that and
- ~
very doubtful. President Cleveland received
two hundred and nineteen electoral votes
and lO6 of the number come from ssloyal
states" states that did not secede, but ali of
which contributed TO the Union cause as
against the Con federate cause: in other
words, Delaware, Maryland. Kentucky, Mis-
souri,, New York, New Jersey. Connecticut
and Indiana were not secession states,
aud they contributed LOG electoral
votes to Cleveland, as against 113
electoral votes from the states that did
recede, If this classification must be used
to show the baselessness Of the charges
MADE.
Looking a little farther in the way Of
analysis, the conduct OF the "loyal states"
bears singular complexion
Wisconsin, which gave Garfield close upon
$4,000 majority, carried by Blaine by =
plurality Of 5000; Michigan. which gave Garfield
nearly $4,000. gave Blaine q meagre 2 $50. and
Iowa, which rolled up over 5000 for Garfield,
cut Blaine down 10 1900.
In addition to this caustic summary Of
figures, the candidate of the Republican party
was successful in reducing the Republican
majority in all but three Of the
states of the Union, he was beaten on both
the popular vote and the electoral vote, on
the number Of states and in congressional
districts, and yet in the face of these indubit-
able facts the wild, distorted and mendacious
charges, here under notice, are made TO in
fame. mislead and deceive the people. For
tunately the American public, for the most
part DO their own thinking, and

that is the spirit in which the southern press
discuss the result Of the election. There Is
nothing said in form or spirit such as is rep
resented BY the Republican party papers, but
exactly the contrary, and because e Demo
crat has been elected what warrant is there
Tor the assumption that the rights Of any
man, white or black, Of any
state on section or industry are jeop

been already reproduced from southern Jour
nails such expressions as show abundantIy

section, aud there Is not an Inumaiion, not
word, that offers the slightest foundation
for the line Of comment that the Republican
press are freely using. Again. 10 show from

Atlanta Constitution is given:

entire fact is, premeditated, concentrated

South. but that conspiracy vii fail as many

st, Louis Grand Opera House Burned,

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 23.-The Grand Opera
house, on Market street, between Fifth and
Sixth streets, burned this afternoon, entail
ing loss of from Sl25,OO0 to $3.50, 900.
The fire broke out in the front part of the
basement, assembled by the stairways
to the roof, thence spread all over
the building, and in the course of three hours
the beautiful theater, with its handsome dec
orations, valuable machinery, scenery and
effects, was mass of ruins, nothing being
left but the bare walls, and one of them par.
italy destroyed. Nat Goodwin's company
was to open tonight and all their baggage
was in the house, but the fire starting in the
trout part of the building gave the company
ample time, and they saved all their prop
erty. John w. Morton, the manager, was
not so fortunate, however. His entire per-
sonal wardrobe and valuable actors library,
in the front part of the building. was totally
destroyed. Loss about 81, 900; insurance on
theater about $50, 900

DoN,r BE N OFFICE BEGGAR.

The fascination about official station is
something almost mprehensible, and
why it is so tempting cannot be understood.
unless it may be from the qualification it is
Expected to afford to the perverse element
implanted in mankind that propogates de-
sire to get something for nothing. There is
nothing so unsatisfactory and so ill-requiting
considered in the general sense, as Office
holding, unless IL be ofice-b begging. No
greater misfortune can transpire to a young
man endowed with fair health and physical
capability to earn his bread by the sweat of
his brow or the labor of his hands. as to per-
NIT himself to look with longing toward
some grade of official mendieancy AS only
one man ipa state may be its Governor, and
but few enter upon judicial OF legislative
life, to scramble for these
places is always pitiful and nearly
always absurd, and yet for more subordinate
positions there is clamor that bodies no
good to the state OF the individual. Just at
this time, upon the threshold of a new ad-
ministration, longing eyes are turned toward
the federal capital, and Washington clerk
ships arc in great demand. The Philadelphia
Times discussing this subject offers some
counsel to young Democrats that is clever
enough to warra Mt reproduction:
No greater unkindness can be shown to any
young man of Fitness for subordinate public
Office, than to Crafty the dream Of his ambition
by giving him clerkship or a tide -waitership in
one OF the departments Of Washington, or in one
Of the city federal Offices. OF those who will
seek Office, not one in five will be successful; Of
those who shall happen 70 be successful. not one
half Will better their position even for the pres
ent, and OF the other half, only the bitterness of
disappointment and helplessness will be their
portion. Not one subordinate in five hundred
ever rises above the position OF a dependent. It
is a worse than wasted life to many; a proftless
life TO all.

Views on Internal Revenue.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 23.-Deputy Commits
sioner Rogers, who has had more experience
with internal revenue legislation than any
other man in Washington, gives his views Of
the probable action Of congress as follows:
SIT looks to me as though the present sys-
TEN Of collecting internal revenue taxes
would be done away with. Congress will
probably pass a law collecting taxes on
spirits By stamps. The Office Of revenue
agent will be abolished and the prosecuting
OF small violators of the law in
the south will be abandoned. In some
sections, where moonshiners abound, we
dare not send officers to make raids because
word has already been passed round to kill
them. think that congress will abolish the
tax on beer and reduce the tax on spirits
from ninety cents, as it is at present, to
sixty cents per gallon"
