Mr.. Erastus Winnan appears to have been
making some very foolish talk to the Cana
dians. An apostle Of commercial union, he
seems to be adopting course that will in
evitably defeat his hobby. Thus at Hunts
vile, he told his audience that "within nine
ty days Canada may have slap on the face
from the United States that will make the
blood of every Canadian tingle in his veins,
either from Indignation or sorrow. This
will come in the enforcement Of the retalia-
tory policy. Canadians mistake Grover
Cleveland IL they think be will stop short Of
his purpose. either by his triumph or defeat,
Events have shown that a more determined
or more courageous man than the existing
President never gave force to his convictions
or TO the expressed desire of his people.
That settlement Of this fishery question
will be forced before the expiration of his
present term Of Office, there can be no
doubt" This is all very foolish Canadians
are not likely to be influenced by threats
like this to accept Mr.. Wiman's panacea.
And there is no great danger that Mr.. Cleye-
land will do anything very desperate. His
retaliation proclamation was fired off simply
for effect on the Irish vote. Now that 1t has
accomplished all it can in that quarter it
will doubtless fall into innocuous desuetude.

tory was really a narrow one before the
people, and in 1874 was signally reversed,
Polk getting 10 electoral votes to 100 for
Henry Clay. Maine in 1914 went back to the
Democratic party with lurch, giving 45,719
to Polk and 34,37S for Clay. Birney this
year received 1886 anti-slavery votes in
Maine. Maine was in the Democratic col
umn to stay until the tidal wave of 1856,
when the little nest egg of 1899 votes cast for
Birney in 1910 swelIed to 1879 and put the
State in the Republican ranks to stay.

campaIgnIng in the old DAVIS.

For more reasons than one yesterdays
contest recalls the famous Presidential cleo
tion of 1910. A Harrison was then a candi-
date, the Democratic party was in power,
and the tariff was the issue. The result Of
that campaign was marked by many changes
and compared with the contests Immediately
preceding and Immediately succeeding it, is
an interesting study of the influence of the
issues brought to the people in the campaign
Of the elder Harrison. A comparison of the
political attitude of the States OF the Union
in 1s40 with the position of the same States
In 1883, is another study of interest by which
hang many tales of political vicissitudes:

What Cost.

Senator Teller, of Colorado, in re-
plying to the attack of Senator Vest,
of Missouri, upon the dependent pen
sion bill, gave the cost of the war of
the rebellion. He said:
docs the senator know how much
the rebellion has cost? Does he know
how much it has taken out of the peo-
pie of the United States? Eight hun
bred and eighty million dollars is a
mere bagatelle to what it has cost the
people of the United States. In 1879
the treasury department made up a
statement of the actual cost growing
out of the rebellion. Discarding the
ordinary expenses of the government,
taking out the little debt that we had
when the war began; taking out the
pensions of the men who were en-
gagged in the Mexican and other wars,
and how much do you suppose up to
June 80, 1879, the people of the
United States had paid out because
of the misconduct of those who went
into rebellion against the best gov
eminent in the world? I have before
me a table that has never been
doubted, that has never been denied.
and it shows that up to the 30th of

Plumb ON Oklahoma.

The following letter from Senator
Plumb to George L. Robby, of Ra-
VIENNA, upon the question of opening
Oklahoma, and bearing date February
20, has been made public:
DEAR SIR:-I am duly in receipt of
your favor of the 18th and note your
statement as to what in your opinion
the state of Kansas demands concern
Ing the opening of Oklahoma. My
own belief has been that it would be
of great advantage to Kansas to open
up Oklahoma. While it is true we
should lose some population, my belief
is that we would gain very many
more. Oklahoma has been so
widely advertised that people would
| start for it from every quarter of the
many people would go there as could
find claims. All the claims would, in
fact, be taken in ten days or two
weeks. Those who came later would
have to buy out those who had gone
or go elsewhere. But of this latter
class, believe Kansas would gair
very largely. 1t would, besides, make
a very excellent market for horses, cat
tie, hogs, agricultural implements an(
supplies of all kinds. This would no
as favorably affect the western portion
of the state as it would the eastern
part, still it seems to me that altOgeth
er there would be advantage to al
sections. 1 am here, however, to serv
the interests of the people of Kansa
and according to their own view as t
what those interests are.
One thing that is proper to be take
into account is that in all human prob
ability no land can be opened to settle
ment in the territory for a years tim
at the nearest. There is a good deal G
machinery about the bill pending
which will make delay. and in add
ton, the commission to negotiate wit
the Indians is limited to the paymen
of certain sum, which, in my belize
the Indians will not take. While
have been in favor of having the SUI
plus lands of the Indian territor
opened for settlement, it has no
seemed to me that the measures lool
ing to that end have been adequatel
design ed to accomplish the purpose.
Truly yours,
Z. b. PLUMB.

hardship to them to be required to

principal objects of this bill is to do
away with that provision of the law.
Not only can the Government afford to
deal literally with it's battle-scarred
defenders, but it is patriotic duty to
keep them in as comfortable circum-
stances as possible during the remain

Commissioner of Pensions shows that
in October last there were more than
81, 600 Union soldiers and their depend
ents in the almshouses of the country.
This is not a creditable showing for

and is strong argument in favor OF
the bill now before Congress.

found elsewhere in our columns. It
will be observed that the senator is
not exactly an enthusiast on this ques-
ton, and that he appreciates the stu
alton pretty thoroughly. The as
sertion that all the claims would be
taken up in ten days it is more than
probable is true, and only goes to prove
the what we said some few days
ago, that every desirable foot of
ground in the proposed new territory
has already been staked of and even
laid out into town sites by land-grab

IT is said that for some time past a
movement has been very quietly in
progress among the brewers of the en-
tire country with the aim of shutting
out from employment in any brewery
every member of the Knights of Labor
or other labor organization. The move
ment took form few days ago, when
a convention of brewers was held in
New Haven. The promoters of the
scheme say that the threats of labor or
carnations to boycott saloons using
prohibited beer will have no weight
under the operation of the proposed
plan, inasmuch as there will be no
other than boycOtted beer produced.

HORACE NEwBURY of the new pro-

Hutchinson, wears third-party badge.
Horace claims he is no fanatic. yet his
badge is the word Prohibition on a
gold scroll, and underneath is a gold
crank in the shape of a pump-handle,
which probably indicates that he needs
turning-to republicanism. Horace.
however, is quite rustler, and if the
third party had more men like him in
