why He H. 80 he Defeated.

From the Newport Express of this week.
IF there is to be an effort to defeat Sena-
tor Edmunds's r, election let it be known
let the movers in the scheme come out open
ly and honestly and make a square fight
MIR. Edmundss reputation, his ability, the
chances of reelection, will not suffer by an
open, fair contest all summer. Senator Ed.
munds, if no candidate appears against him,
will doubtless be reelected by the next legis-
lature. Should one or more candidates arise
contest will be preciptated and we conf
IDENTIFY believe in that event he will be grand
ly reelected. Let the preparation, the Skin.
mishng, be actively kept up let the enemy
no longer lie in ambush, or skulk in the dark
ness but stand up bravely to be counted, and
prepare for one of the sharpest hand. to- hand
conflicts ever yet enjoyed. One
or two things at the outset should be c)nsid.
cred and kept constantly in mind. The abil.
ity of the man. the influence he has always
had in the senate, the honor he has brought
to the state and the naton-these are all
known and acknowledged. 1t il specially
worthy of note that he is not to be opposed
and retired because of any one or all these
admitted facts. 1t is not because of old age,
of waning powers either of body or mind
not because Of any business or social irrepu
larities, any corruption in Office or any be-
trayal OF trust, private or public-for none
VI THESE Things ID ne 10 DC punished. The
| people have right to know and will very
naturally inquire for what reason, such a
man in the zenith of his power and influence
strong for efficient, honorable service for his
party, his state and nation, for years to come,
should be set aside. The answer ia brief and
az foolish as it is brief Senator Edmunds is
to be punished and disgraced because he did
not more heartily endorse and work for
| Blaine's election. Blaine was defeated, hence
Edmunds must be destroyed. Il
the fact capable ofspresent demonstration +?
Does anybody know that the failure of Mr.
Edmunds to make one or more speeches in
| favor OF Blaine gave us a Democratic Presi-
dentI To sustain the charge it would seem
to be necessary to prove the fact. 1t has
generally been admitted that several things
contributed to the result, but 1t hardly seems
wise for any man to put his finger upon the
identical factor which wrought defeat Yet
some of these wise Blaine Republicans have
found it and its name is Edmunds. This is a
fimsy subterfuge. No one believes the homes
ty OF this charge it is too foolish, too weak
for men-children might be deceived by it.
Somebody wants Edmundss place, somebody
will try and get it if the signs prove propi.
tious II not, we question whether an Oh.
posing candidate will enter the race. Some
fault must be found with Edmunds as basi.

II Mr.. Cleveland intended to create SEN
sation with his message to the Senate he GER
tainly succeeded admirably for since Tues.
day it has been the leading and universal
topic of discussion in the press and among
individuals. He has also made sure that the
contest with the Senate shall be bitter and
wel-fought one. The real issue which is in
volved should be noted and well understood
against the time when the discussion of the
subject opens in the Senate The Senate on
its part claims that all papers relating to re-
movals or appointments, which are on file in
any of the departments, are public papers,
for which either house has right to call at
any time, and which may not be withheld.
Any information which the President has and
acts upon or is governed by, in making re-
movals or appointments, is public informa-
ton from the moment he puts it on file, and
the Senate has an equal right to it with the
Executive. On the other hand, Mr.. Cleve-
land says, 81 consider them such papers or
informationl in no proper sense upon the files
of the department, but as deposited there for
my convenience, remaining still completely
under my control. l suppose if l desired to
take them into my custody, l might do so
with entire propriety, and if saw fit to de-
stroy them no one could complain" The
issue is distinct and well-defned Leading
Democratic papers, like the Sun and World
of New York, agree with the leading Repub-
lican papers in holding that the Presidents
ground is untenable, and that he has most
unwisely brought the matter to a contest 1t
will be entirely safe to count on some "mighty
interesting reading" against the day when the
message reappears from Mr.. Eimundss com
mittee room accompanied by his report

Our Kind Of .Murwump,.m.,

As mugwump is not a Republican and
no true Republican can be a mugwump, it is
well for the Republican party to know where
The Phoenix stands. Not many months ago
that paper had AN editorial predicting the dis
Tuption of the Republican party if the plans
of the faction it claims to represent were not
allowed to prevail -MOntpeler Waterman Of
this i0eek
1t gives US pleasure to know that the opin-
ions of The Phoenix are so carefully noted
and set down for future reference. In our
issue of July 3lst last we said, "If fight is
undertaken in 1886 to prevent Senator Ed
munds's reelection 1t will make a rupture in
the Republican party in Vermont which will
never be healed" That prediction we now
repeat, and on it We cheerfully stake our rep
utation as a political prophet.
One thing more. The test of sound Re.
publicanism in Vermont this year, or in com.
ing years, will not be on the question of fealty
to James g. Blaine or his cause. In the same
article from which we have quoted above We
also said
Whatever and however political self seek,
era may hold to the contrary, it is not polit.
ical crime to have refused to pull off ones
Mr.. Blaine last year, and it will not be so re-
garded in the future. The quicker self
respecting Republicans frankly take this
ground, the better it will be for them and
their party. 1t was the ground on which the
mass Of Windham county Republicans gave
their cordial support to their party ticket las
year, steadily refusing to upbrad or malgI
any man who differed from them on a ques
ton of principle"
To this opinion, also, we still hold.
II this is "mugwumpism" The Phoenix i,
"mugwump" of the most pronounced typ,
and the Windham county woods are full o.
just such ''mugwumps." From this time OF
we wish the Waterman to be in not the slight
est doubt about our position. On the Blaiu,
issue we agree entirely with the opinion O
Mr.. Camp OF the Newport Express elsewher,
quoted.

The Panama Canal Company.

1t is rumored that NJ. Rousseau, the agent
appointed by the French government to ex
anime the condition OF the Panama Canal
company, will bring in an adverse report. II
this is done the great work will undoubtedly
be abandoned Already 1926, 600, 600 has
been sunk in the big ditch, and according to the
report of the company only one sixth of the
excavation has been accomplished, while the
reports of the United States officers indicate
that only twentieth part of the work has
actually been done. 1t has become painfully
evident that even il the canal could be COM
pletsd it would be at such a cost that there
could be no hope for any interest on the mon
ey expended. NJ. De Lesseps, by his success
in putting through the Suez canal, has been
able thus far to command the confidence OF
the French public, but the limit of their faith
has been reached, and the inevitable collapse
cannot long be delayed 1t will be interest
ing to see what report De Lesseps himself
will make when his present visit of inspec
ton is completed.

Senator Mitchell Of Oregon has catered to
the demands OF q certain class Of his con-
situents by introducing a bill to abrogate
those provisions Of our treaty with China
which give the Cinnamon now in the country
the protection Of the law. The proposed
bill is piece Of transparent demagogism,
as it is not within the power Of Congress to
repudiate obligations to foreign powers in
this of hand fashion. It will, however not
be without its use il il calls the attention Of
the agitators of the Pacific coast to the fact
that in driving out the Cinnamon from Seat
tie and other cities Of the Northwest, they
are doing more than violating local or even
a national law. The outrages come within
the realm Of international law. Under our
treaty with China our government has had
occasion to demand aud secure indemnity for
the lives and property of American citizens
that have been destroyed in Chinese territory
In like manner the Chinese consul has brought
suit in the United States court for Sl32, 600
against the city of Eureka, Cal, for damages
done to the coolies driven out Of that place.
Similar suits are to be begun against other
cities. 1t is difficult to see how the justice
of these claims can be denied.
The present treaty with China, with its
stringent provisions for preventing further
immigration, is itself concession to the
western demands. But further concession it
is impossible for the government to make.
The honor of the nation requires that the
subjects OF a friendly empire dwelling in our
midst shall be protected from mob violence.
1t is encouraging to find the Portland Ore
gonian, the largest and most influential jour
nal north of San Francisco, taking strong
ground in behalf of law and order
LAW aud order must be and will be upheld In
case of any disturbance Of the peace 1t will not be
question at all whether the Chinese to go stay.
The real issue will be law side and awessness
on tue other. There is question which will pre-.
vail. II is due to Portland, the leading city OF the
Northwest, that her peace be preserved without the
calamity of riot and the sorrow of boodshed But il
] riot shall ensue 1t must be and will be dealt with
serny. Cruel as the voey Of musketry IT, yet there
is mercy in it. II is the final aud necessary answer
of organized society to those who push assaults upon
/ its peace beyond the point Of forbeannce"

Another "Murwump" PaDer.

Mr.. Camp of the Newport Express deber-
ately joins the ranks of Editor Dixon's
"mugwumps' this week He has the temer-
ity to raise question as to whether Mr.. Ed
munds really defeated Mr.. Blaine, and even
intimates that if the charge could be proved
it might not be sufficient ground for yielding
to the demand of a self seeker who wants the
Senator's place. In one thing Mr.. Camp is
wrong. Mr.. Ropes, formerly editor Of the
Waterman, did not write the blaine Repub
lican" letter attacking Mr.. E1munds in last
weeks Waterman, for his views are the di-
rect opposite of those there expressed, aud
it is principally or largely because this is 80
that he is no longer the Watchmans editor
In the minds of those beet qualified to Judge,
the author of that letter is a man who was
violent anti-Blaine man in 1884 and voted
for Cleveland although holding a place of
Republican trust and influence. This slip of
guessing aside, Mr.. Camps article is one of
the very best and strongest which has yet
appeared on the senatorial question. It's
main points are elsewhere copied.
