The Independent Collapse.

The Independent Republicans of our
state may as well 60 out of business. They
have not capital enough to carry it on. An
assignment for the benefit of their Credi-
tors is hardly necessary as Senator Mitchell
is about their only asset and The remainder
of his term under Democratic admins
tration will not have an appreciablc value.
We are sorry that this disaster has come
upon the virtuous Republican politicians
who undertook to purify their party. Yet
IL was inevitable from the weakness of
the purifiers and the bigness of the un-
dertaking. 1t has happened that the
great mass of the Republicans have
failed 10 see that they needed puriti-
cation they are quite content with
their condition. They are not disposed Ia
revolt against il or against their old leaders.
The machine runs easily in its old ruts. A
few months ago the laws of gravitation
seemed to be suspended and the
party appeared to- I've standing on
its head. That was when Mr.
Blaine got on the light side with his
presidential nomination and forced il over.
When Blaine was shaken off, the old con-
cern came promptly right side up with care.
and the result appears in the easy triumph
of Senator Cameron. The Republican
party of the state belongs to him and his
Those who do not like it can leave if. They
have but this alternative. We see no con-
ISOLATION for them at all in the situation. 1t
israther late for them TO join the Demo
cratic party, but if they really think that
Senator Cameron and his fellows are all
that they declare them to be, they can
hardly stay in their political company.
AS Democrats we are well content with
The reelection of Senator Cam eron Ii is
best that a representative Republican
should have the place. And that Cameron
represents his party fully there can be no
present question. He is quite as good as ii
is. Democrats sometimes in the past have
been seduced into combining with dissatiS-
fed Repu blicans to elect To the Senate a
half-breed Republican but they have
always found the breed to be very bad
one. We have learned enough TO know that
IT is political wisdom to take the whole hog
If we must take any.

Embarrassment of Wire Makers.

1t will probably he found that the failure
of the great wire.making firm of Oliver
Brothers u Phillips, arose from the lock
ing up of the capital of its members
in too many outside undertakings, rather
than in their losses in their manufacturing
business. These cannot have been So.
we're enough to waste the great cap
ital Of the members OF the firm
in the short period during which the de
preston has lasted. 1t is not likely that
there has been any great loss suffered
in manufacturing. The business has been
unremunerative, but establishments well
situated have been realizing cost for
their manufactures. Pttsburg is supposed
to be the choice place of iron manufacture
in all the country able Ia make iron when
IT can he made anywhere and with the
recent advantage it has had in natural
gas as fuel, it has been the envy
of manufacturers everywhere. The
Messrs. Oliver have been esteemed
as excellent business men. and Mr.. Carne-
gle says that II. w. Oliver is one of the
best business men in the country Ger
tainly with such management their mills
wouldnot have been long run at any con-
siderable loss. And as the partners have
been men of great wealth, it seems clear
enough that their present difficulty does
not come mainly from the state of the iron
business, but must have been caused 10y
their large borrowings from other enter
prises which have shriyeled in the general
condition of business.
Mr. Oliver, for instance, is said to have a
million dollars invested in the Southern
PENNSYLVANIA railroad of Vanderbilt S pro-
motion. AS he is reputed to he a man of
business sagacity, doubtless his enterprises
will turn out to be profitable in time and
there seems To he no doubt that this is all
that his firm needs for its succor.

Wise Men Change Their Minds.

a very frank and apparently a sensible
man has been elected Speaker of the House
of Representatives in North Carolina.
a member arose TO his feet the other
day and charged the speaker with peridy
and with being unworthy of the confidence
of his friends. The speaker simply replied
that before his election he had promised to
appoint his assailant chairman of the com
mittee on education, but since his election
he had decided that it would BE unwise TO
make such an appointment.
1t was improper for the speaker to have
made such a promise; the impropriety
would only have been aggravated had he
kept it. Had his unwise pledge involved
only sacrifice of his private interests he
might have kept it. He had no right to
triile with the public welfare because he
had entered into foolish obligation. II
is the large class of fools who never change
their minds.
