HE CAN'T SUPPORT CLEVELAND.
A NEW JERSEY DEMOCRATIC Ed
TORS OFFER TO HIS PARTY'S
COUNTY COMMITTEE.

COUNTY COMMITTEE.
Orrin Vanderhoven, editor and
proprietor of The PdSSdic city ~.
III HUdId, an influential weekly
newspaper, long established, is one
of the most devoted Democrats in
Northern New jersey, and has been
a hard and clever worker for his
party all his life. He is an old
man, though a vigorous one, and
has been delegate to almost count
less conventions Of his party. In
yesterdays issue of The Herald Mr..
VanderhOven denOunces the can
didate Of his party for President
and makes unique offer to the
County Executive Committee. The
paper says
every reader OF this paper
knows we don't like Cleveland
We don't like his policy. We don't
like his Democracy. We don't like
his second Presidential term be-
cause it is foreswearing Of himself.
We don't like his free trade. We
don't like his arrogatiOn of leglsla.
tive power, and believe the veto
power was only intended TO affect
unconstitutional and very positive
questionable legislation
We like his contribution OF slO,-
600 to the National Committee as
an evidence OF his faith IN Democ-
racy, and yet we doubt IT it would
have been so to elect anybody but
himself 10 the Presidency.
Again we say to Democrats, the
result is doubtful Don't bet"
The editor in another article in
the same Issue says:
not willing to throw himself IN
to the front of a fight under free
trade leader, such as he believes
Cleveland to be, he (the EDITOR is
ready to give to the Democratic
Committee the use of two columns
or more during the entire campaign,
and we promise to insert without
any alteration anything the Demo-
Gratis may wish to say in advocacy
of their candidate. It will be I'M
derstOOd that these columns are en-
tlreIy under their editorial control,
and not ours. They cannot say
after this that The Pdssaic Her0ld
has treated them unfairly. We
only give to others the privilege of
doing what with our convictions it

that basis he had resolved to vote

had been a lifelong Democrat.
lie told me that he had broth.
or who, like himself would change
his vote this fall. His brother
dealt in produce last year. He
bought largely Of potatoes and was
selling them at fair profit when
several carloads Of potatoes were
brought from New York and the
price dropped, causing him to lose
a pile Of money! as the brother
expressed it. When / asked how
much the reply was nearly 5000.
He inquired where those pOta-
toes that ruined him came from
and found they were from Scotland.
He thea felt indignant that the
farmer was not protected in raising
potatoes, but inqulring further he
found that there was a duty of 10
cents a bushel on potatoes. He
then said if farmers cannot have
a "hOme market Tor potatoes with
- cents per bushel duty, what will
they do with free potatoes ?
That mans loss caused him TO
tell the facts to every farmer he
meets, and il goes right home. He
is doing more good in making votes
than the most eloquent speaker on
protection could do in that county.
He says the Republican papers
should publish more articles show
ing the benefits of protection to the
farmer to counteract the Demo-
cratic papers who claim that the
farmer is taxed on everything he
buvs and protected on nothing he
sells except wool and that only a
portion OF them are interested in it.

THE RULER AND THE VOTER.

The ruler of a great country was
once walking the streets OF his
metropolis, whittier he had gone
from his capital on a visit, accom-
panied only by his executioner.
As they passed along they came to
where a workman was digging a
trench in which to insert a gas pipe.
The ruler stopped, and looking at
the man, said:
"My good man, are you a voter u

as he stopped and leaned on his
pick. at is foive years that Oi

the ruler, again addressing the
man, twill you not vote for me

How can the Democrats praise
the Mills bill to such an extent
when its author, Roger z. Mills
has been designated by the Atlanta
Constitution the leading Demo
cratic paper of the South, as "the
most glittering ass that ever graced
the halls of Congress.
The intiu alton that the PreSi-
dents retaliation message is to be
lramatized has excited considerable
curiosity in theatrical circles. We
have no hesitation in declaring our
belief that the message affords
material for as good a farce as ever
was seen on the American stage.
The Republican party is certain
IL indebted TO Roger Q. Mills for
making Free trade speeches in
Connecticut. That state is slated
for majority OF 5000 for Harrison
and Nor ton, but the Texas Free
trader is evidently determined to
push it up to 10000 or know the
reason why.
Let each voter ask himself why
it is that the English people are al
most unanimously in favor Of
Cleveland since his free trade mes

policy would help the English to
get control of our markets, and
thus injure the american working

Starring Indians.

The Rev. DR.. Brick, Church of
England Missionary at Peace Riv>
err. Northwest Territories, in a
sermon preached at Ottawa Canada
made some startling announces
ments in reference to the Indians
of the Northwest, He said that
hundreds of Indians who are not
under treaty with the Canadian
Government were dying every
year from starvation.
For the past three years game
has been very scarce all through
the northwest, and unless the Gov
eminent forthwith furnishes relief
the race must soon be exterminat-
ed. He instances many cases
where Indians have kept body and
soul together for months on boiled
leather and old moccasins, and 9TH
ers where horse flesh was the sta,
pie food of red men during the
winter months.
Many cases of cannibalism have
been reported, and he had per-
sonal knowledge of one case where
a woman died of starvation, and
the rest of the camp deyourel her
remains.
The government, he said, was
not bound under treaty to furnish
relief to these starving saws
ges, but unless something was
done at once the determination OF
the race of red men would stand
out as a blot on the good name Of
Canada.

Some Results of the Var.
Atlanta Constitution. 1

a republican writer, speaking of
our great war between the states,
pronounces it the most important
conflict, measured by its influences
upon mankind, that has occurred
since the fall Of Napoleon he
says that it was followed by the
reconstruction of Germany, the
abolition of Russian serfdom and
slavery in Brazil. the establishment
Of the French republic, the Euro>
peanizing Of Japan, the formation
OF the Dominion of Canada, the
success of Cuba in obtaining rep,
resentation, the modprnization Of
Turkey, tto form ion of an Ital
ian nation, and by many other
things.
This immense view of the situa>
ton is enough to take ones breath
8way. 1t makes very little differ
ence whether it is correct or not.
War is undoubtedly a great civil
izer, and it cannot be denied that
the outcome Of the struggle between
the north and the south has in the
main been beneficial to the world
at large,
What interest Us however, is the
effect of the war upon the south.
Summed up crudely, it may be said
that the new order of things has
brought US cotton mills, blast. fur
naces, railroads, scores of new in~
dustries, diversified farming, bio,
ger population and better status
in the eyes Of the world, without
depriving our people of a single
right held dear by American free~
men.
Under the old system the south
would have always remained an
agricultural county. Under the
new she will have her mauufactur,
ing centers, her large cities, and
the development Of her natural re-
sources. These are some of results
of the war in which we are most
interested. Il speculative writer's
choose to picture a series of more
or less imaginary results in otter
quarters of the world there is 10
objection. But our people are too
busy now to engage in the discus
sion of matters 50 far away. 1t is
enough for us to know that the
war was blessing in disguise.
