Louisiana Stolen.

The Democratic State ticket has been
victorious in Louisiana by about 65,COO ma
jority. There are ffty-eight parishes in
the State, yet the Democrats have carried
all of them but two. This is the tale which
the Democrats have sent out from New
Orleans. The story is not issued in the
first excitement attending the close of the
canvass. 1t is given to the world three
days after the election was held, when the
exuberance attending the victory has had
time to subside. The majority, therefore,
will hardly be reduced much below the
figures here given.
In 1884 the Democrats carried Louisiana
for Governor by about 5000 majority and
for President by about 10000, The Demo
cratic party in tho State was far more har-
monious then than it has been this year. The
Republicans were at least as enthusiastic,
active and earnest in the canvass just ended
as they were in 1884 Yet the Democrats
tell US, says the st. Louis lobe-Dcmocrat, that
their majority was 10000 greater than it
was in 1854 for Governor and $1,000 greater
than it was in 1884 for President In 1854
for Governor the Republicans carried eleven
out of the fifty-eight parishes of the State
and seventeen for President, while this
year they carried but two. Thoughtful
people outside the State, Democrats as well
as Republican, viii view these figures with
suspcion

They VIII Remember 1t.

The flibustering minority has defeated a
more than two-thirds' majority in the
House, by the aid and dictation of the Pres
ident. Helped by Presidential threats and
promises, it has brought party caucus to
decide that the Tax-Refunding bill must be
postponed until after the Presidential cleo
ton. Thanks, Messrs. Democrats! The peo-
pie of the States which paid this tax, who
naturally wish their State taxes ightened
by the return of the money, will remember
when they vote next fall that a Democratic
Congress means repayment of $50, 900, 900 to
once rebel States-the proceeds of the cot
ton tax, collected not from those States, but
from the loyal citizens who had possession
of cotton-or else no repayment of SIG, Co.,
600 paid by loyal States in direct taxes to
suppress Democratic rebellion. 1t is a
minor issue, but some people will bear it in
mind.
A much larger number will bear in mind
the proved incapacity of a Democratic
majority to make laws for the business in
terests Of the country. Part of a month
has been wasted in this wrangle. Other
political wrangles wasted tho months of De-
cember, January, February and March.
Within less than sixty days Washington
will be q bad place for members to stay in
who want to preserve their physical health,
and a most inconvenient place for those
whose political health requires attention to
conventions and campaigns ct home. To
pass all the appropriation bills. all other
absolutely necessary bills to provide for the
Government business, and tariff bill be-
sides, will be found impossible. The in
competency of the party in power will again
be finely illustrated, when months of the
remainder of the session are spent in con-
sidering tariff which ought to have been
brought forward: if ever, early in the ses-
sion, and disposed of in the four months
which were wasted by the majority. If that
question is pressed at all, necessarily other
business of the gravest Importance must
now be neglected.-N Y Tribune.

potency shall be recognized instead Of party
subserviencys Is not the one absolutely the
correlative of the other! And yet who can
trace the history of removals from Office
under the present Administration and find
the faintest trace of an adherence to Cleve-
lands declaration on the subject of Civil
Service REFORM! A President who between
March 4, 1855, and juno IL, 1887, could
change 10000 out of 81, 600 fourth-class post
masters, who could change 1900 out of 1879
Presidential postmasters, 81 out Of SIS col
lectors Of internal revenue, II out of Ii Su-
perinte ndents of MINIS, in short, who could
make ,623 changes in the public service
out of possible 55, 102 in the space of twen-
ty-seven months, should abandon his title Of
a civil-service reformer.
Nor were his only mistakes to put it in q
charitable light. made in his dismissals.
He appointed Garland, tainted with the Pam
Electric scandal, his Attorney General; he
selected Villas, who was only keen politi-
clan, his Postmaster General, and has since
promoted him to be Secretary of the Inter-
ior; he kept Eugene Higgins as appoint
ment clerk until public opinion forced him
to dismiss him; he sent q drunken Judge to
Alaska and drunken Minister to Mexico:
he appointed men to Office who were State
prison ccnvicts, and made all the mistakes
which q coaceited man could make in that
direction.
Not long ago he undertook to conciliate .
section of the Union by an order for the res
toration to it of certain flags, the prize Of
war The order created a great deal of feel
ing, and he at once rescinded it, seeking at
the same time to shift the blame onto other
shoulders. If he believed the order was
right and proper, why recall it. A prudent
man would have studied the question first;
a firm man would have adhered to his first
order

UNEQUAL DISTRIBUTION OF Ma.
TIoNAL WEALTH. The ST.. Louis
Republican says: The industrial an, j
manufacturing States have not only
shaped the revenue policy Of the
government for the benefit of Their
manufacturing interests, but they
have been equally successful 10
sbsping the financial policy of the
government also for the benefit of
their monetary interests. There was
not financial measure taken by the
government from 1852 to 1856 with
single notable exception that was
not dictated or suggested by them !;
and it may we'll be- inferr ID that they
made no small amount of money by
it,
To-day nine Eastern States hold
mortgages on Western and Southern
farm lands and improvements To The
value Of over So 500 900, 900 bearing
an annual interest Of $3.50 600 900.
The III ,rtford insurance companies
alone holu $40 >000> 900 In Western
farm mortgages and the loan com.
panies OF Boston hold even a greater
amount. This unequal distribution
OF national wealth is the direct re-
suit of ubiquitous revenue and finan-
ci al policies.

A Problem for Blaine.

1t is said that $1,000 Republicans will
gather in New York to welcome home
Mr.. James e.. Blaine, and that no hall
can be secured in the city large enough
to accommodate the crowds that will
throng to hear him. This is too bad.
We trust that some arrangement may be
made to give him an opportunity to speak,
for thousands Of voters in the country
are anxious to learn how Mr.. Blaine is
going to get into tune with his party on
the free whisky question.
In his famous Paris message Mr..
Blaine said :" So long as there Is whisky
to tax would tax it. The tax
on whisky by the Federal government,
with Its suppression Of all illicit distilla.
tion and consequent enhancement of
price, has been powerful agent in the
temperance reform by putting it beyond
the reach of 80 many" His party's
platform declares that rather than abate
one jot or little of the protective system,
free whisky and free tobacco are prefer
able. 1t would be an interesting feat Of
mental gymnastics to hear Mr.. Blaine
try to reconcile himself to the platform
on which he is expected to stand.
