phiIafieIplia I,edRat aneclal

NEW YoRK, Nov. 8.-Willism Walter
Phelps, in an interview to-day, COM
menEed freely and frankly on tho results
of the recent election. "Had the tariff
issue not been raised, nothing could have
prevented Cleyeland's reelection. no
Republican candidate could have stemmed
the tide in the Presidents favor. look
upon tho success in New York as very
largely due to the noble efforts of Waruer
Miller. While he personally WIS fighting
an almost hopeless battle, he worked for
the success of the national ticket as Of
paramount Importance. he did much
for the cause OF protection, and u
is pity that his efforts were not
rewarded with personal success. In
Connecticut and in all New England, in
fact do not think protection ae a strong
an issue as in New York. The manufao-
turing industries OF those states are 30 old
and tirmly established that they do not
require much protection. These, to my
mind, are the reasons why New York
went Republican, while New Jersey and
Connecticut did not. In New England,
the protection question is not 30 strong
as in the west, although for different
reasons. In the Western states there are
not 30 many manufacturing interests
which require protection, and the ory Of
free trade did not mean so mnoh to
them. Besides this, look upon Demo
cratic gains in the west as protest
against the present inequalities Of the
tariff. They wish to see ihese corrected.
and the Mills bill did not create the
alarm there that It did in the other
states"
'Do you really believe that Democratic
success would have meant tendency to
free trader"
1.-THE Democratic party certainly tended
that way. Cleveland permitted his oham-
pions to come from tho south, where the
free trade sentiment is strongest"
1.-THE speeches In the House Of Repre-
sentatives made by Mr.. Mills and hit
entire record show him to be free
trader. The people understand this and
consequently his northern speeches made
Republican votes. Harrison's success in
sures the safety Of protection as an Amer
lean doctrine"
"How firmly, in your opinion, will thii
victory entrenoh the Republicans IL
power 2"
"Four years certainly, and "a years i
they adjust the inequalities of the tariff
II this be not done ! think Democrats
victory will follow in 1892.

rent expenses.
The following was adopted
WHEREAs, The finance committee Of Ooun-

the amount OF S126,00O falling due fn the
year 1890 and 1891, said bonds bearing in
tereet at the rate of per cent per annurn,
your committee believes that It would be

prepare bill 10 be submitted at the next
session of the general assembly, empower

The police committee presented aome
bills, among which was one from Dog
Catcher James e. Writ, amounting to S5.
MIR. Hawkins inquired what Wirt's bill
was for. MIR. Sawdon replied that II was
for horse feed, whereupon Mr.. Hawkins
objected to its payment. Mr.. Quinn
stated that Writ contracted to kill dogs
at 81 per head and that Council had no
right to provide him horse feed. Fab
ulous bills come in monthly from Writ,
Mr.. Quinn continued, and Council should
put its heel ON the horse feed scheme.
Mr.. Quinn, with some severity, also re-
ferrsd to prisoners in police station being
furnished msdical attendance, saying that
doctors are called TO police station to sew
the heads Of those whose heads deserve
to be mashed. Wirt's bill elioited further
| discussion and the remarks OF those re-
monstratiug against its payment provoked
MIR. Sawdon TO say Council furnished
Foster team at an expense of $l2 per
month, and can't see why you should
kick up 'hellablue' now"

The Sack Vile Affair and the Defeat

DUBLIN, Nov. S.--The United ireland ex-
presses indifference at the report OF the
Presidential election In the United States,as
1t says it has friends in "both camps" Har-
risoa, the paper thinks, owes his election to
the Saekviile afflir, as the Irish voters sus-
pected President Cleveland Of being
fri ndy with Lord Salisbury. While 1t is
hlttering to the Irish to be able to turn the
scale in such contest, the fact
Is regrstable, as 1t Is also humillatlng
and menaclng to America. The Itish
vote exists rs separate ana nienaclag
factor in American politics, because the
fact that Ireland is without home rule
rankles as a spear head IN the relations be-
tween the EnGlish. speaking races.
at would be cheap for merica to estab-
llsh home rule In Ireland, even at the cost
OF q war with Great Britain. We need not
comment upon the value to England OF q
settlement OF the Irish question"

We'll. the first battle has been lost by a
narrow vote. What foIlowsl The world
moves either forward or backward; 1t does
not stand still. Tho victors In Tuesdays
conteBt can no more stand still than the
vanqulshed. The responsibility for the
national finances will, after the 4th Of

The surplus will stare MIR. Harrison In the

1t must be got rid of either by reduced tag
alton or by extrav0gant appropriations,
The smallness OF the Republican majority
forbids that the latter policy should bo

and therefore TN undue and upiust burden
