A New Industry.

There is at least one town in the
United States where gambling has
been recognized as legitimate bust
ness. At q recent meeting of the
city council of Leadville resolution
was offered instructing the mayor to
enforce the ordinance against gamb-
ling. This caused the mayor to take
the floor in oposition to the measure
which, he declared, would seriously
interfere with the business interests of
the place and hopelessly cripple the
municipal finances. Other members
OF the council took the same position
and the resolution was defeated by a
large majority. 1t will not do in the
great west to infringe upon the vested
rights of trade and jnterpose hindrance
to business prosperity, even in the in
terest of morality.-EE

Revolt Against the Platform.

The Republican platform outrages tho
convictions of the American people on two
great issues now before the .public-the re-
duction of taxation and the restriction of
the liquor traffic From the foundation of
the party down to and including 1884 it ad-
vocated frugality of expenditure. the relief
of the taxpayer from all unnecessary bur-
deDs, and the laying of all possible imposts
upon the luxuries and vices of the commu-
nifty. The party has also always professed
to favor temperance, and indorsed meas
ures looking toward restriction of the
liquor traffic. Until this convention met in
Chicago, says the New York Post, any Re-
publican might claim with truth that his
party was party whose record made it the
champion of the poor man and the foe of the
saloon. The Chicago convention has changed
all this.
The platform declares in favor of reducing
the revenue by repeating the taxes upon
tobacco and upon spirits used in the arts
and for medicinal purposes, and by revising
the tariff laws so as to check imports of arti-
cles produced by our people, and so as to
release from duty those articles of foreign
production Except luxuries) the like of
which can not be produced at home, and
then says: If there shall still remain a
larger revenue than is requisite for the
wants of the Government, we favor the en-
tire repeal of the internal taxes rather than
the surrender of any part of our protective
system, at the joint behests of the whisky
trusts and the agents of foreign manufaca
urers." This means simply that if the reve-
nue. must be still further reduced by $50,
100000 year it shall be reduced Ly remov-
ing the tax upon whisky, rather than by re-
moving the taxes upon the food and cloth
ing of the people. If the Government can
get along with S600O0,000 year less, the
whisky drinkers shall get the entire benefit
of the reduction

Mr.. FulIer,s Confirmation.

Republican papers are beginning to talk
plainly about the extraordinary course OF
the Senate Judiciary Committee in delaying
action upon the nomination of Mr.. Fuller for
Chief Justice, and meanwhile giving heed
TO any charge which any body chooses to
make against him The Boston Journal pub
fishes the correspondence between Senator
Edmunds and Mr.. Fuller regarding the ac-
cusation of an anonymous accuser, and
says: " 1t seems to US that If such charges
as Mr.. Edmunds summarizes IN his letter
to Mr.. Fuller are the only ground the Judi
ciary Committee has for holding back its
report on the nomination of Mr. Fuller, t.
can not afford to delay action any longer"
The Journal says with great force that it is
certain that no lawyer who was even sus-
pected of such transactions as those which
this unknown accuser of Mr.. Fuller brings
against him could hold the position which
Mr.. Fuller has in Chicago, or receive the
warm tributes of the city journals of all
shades of politics as Mr.. Fuller did upon the
publication of his appointment; and it thinks
it is easier to believe that the author of these
accusations is a crank, or that his Judgment
is warped by malice or disappointment,
than it is to suppose that the general esti-
mate of Mr.. Fuller in the city where he is
best known is a mistaken one. at is hard
ly reasonable the Journal says, "to expect
the nominee to such an Office as that of Chief
Justice of the United States to file afidavits
for Senate committee to clear his charac-
ter from insulting imputations cast upon it
by an anonymous accuser Mr.. Fuller took
dignified and proper course in declining
to do this, and securing the publication of
the charges. AS for the latter, they are too
vague and indefinite and bear too clearly
the mark of private malice, TO have any in

Breaking Party Lines.

AS the political situation gradually un-
folds it becomes more and more evident,
says the Chicago Nclcs lind }, that the Re-
publican party, by its present stand on tho
tariff, viii lose from its ranks many of its
old members and will gain many Demo
Gratis
Hon. Seth Low, Mayor of BROOKLYN,
who was looked upon by some before tho
Chicago convention as well fitted for the
second place on the National ticket of the
Republican party, has announced that he
can not support the candidates standing on
the platform adopted by that party. He de-
clares himself to be the kind of pro-
tectionist that Garfield was. ANY pro-
tectionist like Garfield-and there were
enough of them in New York in 1880 TO
carry that State-should have little diffi-
Guilty in determining that Cleveland is moro
nearly his kind of protcctionist than is a
man who indorses the tariff plank of tho
Republican platform OF 1883.
On the other hand, there are unduestion-
ably many Democrats who Think as Mr.
Randall does, that the internal revenue
taxes are the first that should be abolished,
and that the reforms in the tariff contem-
plated by the supporters of the Mills bill are
unwise and even harmful. During the dis
cussion OF these questions of the tariff and
the meaning of the two National platforms,
which will be carried ON INCREASINGLY until
next November, nothing would be more
natural than that the tariff reform Republic
ans and the high tariff Democrats should
gradually change sides, and thus find their
proper leaders.
No one can say as yet, with any degree of
certainty, what effect this great shifting OF
voters viii have on the coming election.
All can see that this election will be very
notable one in the history of the two great
parties, and IN that Of the country itself

Michigan I'm Doubt.

The Algerines speak truly when they say
that Michigan is doubtful State if Alger is
not nominated; but they suppress part of
the truth, says the Detroit Free Press, when
they neglect to say that it is also a doubtful
State if Alger is nominated. There would,
OF course, be a tremendous effort to carry
the State for Alger If he had been nominat-
ed, and State pride will be backed by those
arguments upon which Republicans chiefly
rely in these latter years.
But spite of State pride and arguments,
with emerald backs, the Republicans have
no assurance Of Michigan. Four years ago
the Republican plurality on President was
3,3OS. Alger's plurality as Governor was
1883, but his vote was $50 less than
Blaine's. The Prohibition vote that year
for President was $4,000; this year it will
be twice that, and the increase will come
mainly from the ranks of the Republican
party, which has been playing fast and loose
with the Prohibitionists until the temper
ance members Of the organization are dis
gusted.
One doesn't get a chance every four years

as Cleveland and Thurman; and a good

selves Of the opportunity

On the Saloon Traffic.

The Republican platform - silent on the
liquor question. The .1ti-saIoon Republic
ans labored in vain Iowa, Kansas and
Maine came into the convention and dared
not lift voice for even modified express
sion concerning the liquor traffic. Like
creatures in Dante's Inferno" these pro-
hibitionists sat in the Auditorium,
All silent and all damned.
Not only, says the Chicago 1fmes, is the
prohibitionist discounted, but the citizen
who looks with abharrence upon the saloon
in politics is sent eontemptuolsly to the
rear. The record is that upon the saloon
question the Republican party has no opin-
lon, except that to preserve high protection
it is willing to remove tho entire tax on
whisky, as on tobacco. Like Mayor Roche,
of Chicago, it has failed to meet the ques-
ton All the prayers Of the eloquent
preachers go for nothing. The Republican
party wants saloon votes and saloon infiu-
ence. The liquor is a moral question upon
which it is coward, letting " / dare nots

The Essence of Republican Doctrinc

The Brooklyn Eagle (Dem.) gives this
happy illustration of what the tariff plank
of the Republican platform really means:
I" If two American citizens were, for in
stance, to contribute $4,000 each for the
purpose of establishing here a new indus
try, the Republican party on this platform
would demand that every man or woman in
the United States who desired the products
of such an industry should pay tax, in ad-
dition to what the foreign product could be
purchased for, sufficiently large not only to
enable these two manufacturers to estab-
lish their enterprise but to obtain heavy
profits from it. In other words, millions of
American citizens would be mulcted for the
sake OF starting two of their number in
business. That is the essence of the Re
publican doctrine, and it raises the main
issue upon which the party proposes to con-
duct the ensuing campaign.i y

BENJAMIN Harrison.

After holding the convention in session
for one week, first killing one aspirant for
the Republican nomination TO the Presi-
dency and then another, tho Blaine man
ayers allowed Benjamin Harrison, Of Indi-
ana, 10 be chosen. This result says the ST.
Paul Globe, was not part of the original
programme, but it finally became evident
that Blaine would only receive the nomina-
ton after an acrimonious and bitter fight
A nomination forced in this way could not
be accepted by Mr.. Blaine, because igno-
minious defeat would be assured 1t there
fore became necessary for the Blaine man
ayers, in order to keep control of the party,
to make choice between Chauncey Depew
and Benjamin Harrison. Depew, who is
the abler man of the two, had been scared
off the track by the threats of the North
west, leaving Harrison as the only salts
factory candidate for the Blaine clique.
1t is reported that Jay Gould, to whom
Depew or Harrison was perfectly satisfac-
tory, had SAID that he would spend a mill
ion dollars to defeat Judge Gresham; and
this defeat was brought about by taking
Harrison, who resides in Gresham's State.
A convention whose temporary chairman
was the attorney of the Union Pacific rail-
road, and whose permanent chairman was
the Central Pacific Company's candidate for
Governor of California in 1892 could have
no use for man like Gresham, who had
bravely bearded Jay Gould in the courts and
put him to fight.
Harrison is an amiabie man, whose grand
father was President for a month nearly
hfty years ago. He is an Indiana lawyer
and served one term in the United States
Senate, where his record, except verJ
ugly one on the Chinese and labor questions
was inoffensive so far as we remember,
