treaty. but so defective in its provisions as to
be Of no value.
"Anyhow, he is a cold water man." and the
melancholy story Is told of dinner to MIR.
Blaine, at which distinguished guests were
actually offered no wine by their host, Senator
Harrison. This is sad. But Mr.. Blaine and
the other guests did not take offence because
the Senator offered them only the liquid hos
pitality habitually provided for his own family
and table, and the people who were not invited
have no business to find fault with the dinner.
The solemn fact must be admitted, however,
that the Senator has never cultivated the habit
of using intoxicating liquors as beverage, and
In that respect also President Cleveland has
the advantage Of him-in the estimation OF
those who dislike a man who does not drink.
Perhaps if he had spent as much time in
saloon as Mr.. Cleveland he would not have
been lawyer enough to have any important
Cheats.
These are the frivolities OF the campaign.
The serious fact is that the Republican candi-
date is an able, upright and honored citizen,
who ran about 5000 votes ahead Of his party
when candidate for Governor of Indiana, a
Christian gentleman in private life, thorough

He it was who said in a speech at Chicago
March 90:
am Of those unlnstructcd political econo-
mIsts who have an impression that some things may
be too cheap; that c'nnot find myself In full SYM
pathy with this demand for cheaper coats, which
seems to necessarily to involve cheaper man and
woman under the cost (Applause) believe 1t is
true today that have many things in this coun-
try that too cheap because whenever IT Is proved
that the man or who produces any article can
get decent living out OF It, then 1t is too cheap
The statesman who uttered these sentences
has a firm grasp of that vital Republican prin-
ciplc which has done more for the welfare
of American labor than all other influences
during the last thirty years. His idea is to
protect American interests; President Cleye-
lands is to promote British interests. On
that issue the election will be decided, and the
people who pirate about trivialities and side
issues will presently discover that they are
wasting time.

C1MPAIGN FhIVOLITIES.

Lawyers who are worth anything in the
country or in the small cities, are sooner or
later preferred or employed by railroads as by
Other clients. General Harrison has been a
capable and faithful lawyer, and so Democrats
are now complaining that he has been employed
by railway corporations in sundry cases.
There they have a distinct advantage Mr.
Cleveland was never a good enough lawyer
to be employed by a railroad, Or by any other
client Of consequence. He was the sort Of
lawyer who runs for Sheriff in order to get a
living.
Another great discovery is that Harrison was
once Know Nothing. The fact is that he
removed to Indiana and began the practice of
law there when he was twenty-one, and was
making Republican speeches when he was
twenty three, and he has been thorough Re-
publican ever since-a matter Of thirty-twO
ycars-and if the Democratic discovery were
true it would be of no consequence. The
people are asked to elect the man, and not the
boy. But the Democratic story is tree with
out trunk or root. There has yet to be
produced any evidence whatever of its truth.
Whether father brother, or cousin named
Harrison ever acted with the Know Nothing
party has yet to be made clear-if anybody
thinks it worth while.
But he was opposed to the Chinese bill.n
The delegates from California, who at first
opposed him strongly in a mistaken impression,
had the facts placed before them, and then
voted with only one dissenting voice for
General Harrison, and they pledged to him
the support Of the Pacific Statcs. II they are
sat SIZED, mob ody else will object. The reason
they are satisfied is that Senator Harrison voted
as member of committee to report, and voted
as member Of the Senate to pass, and personally
advocated in debate, the Page bill, which Sen
ator Fair pronounced "by al means the best
Chinese lill which had been proposed" and
when the first Chinese bill was pending Mr..
Harrison tried to amend it in features which
conficted with the then existing treaty. and
voted against that measure because, as after
ward proved, it was not only contrary to tho

LUCK IN TIE CANTASS.

Faith in Mr. Cleveland's luck has become
one of the superstitions of Democracy. The
election of an obscure and mediocre Buffalo
lawyer TO the three Offices of Mayor, Governor
and President within four years was an ex-
hbition Of good fortune without a parallel in
American politics The series of fortuitous
circumstances by which he escaped defeat in
1884 established his reputation as LucI's own
child in politics. Democratic parisans from
the day when Dr. Burchard's alltcrative folly
swayed the destinics of parties and accom-
plshed political revolution have never ceased
to have faith in Mr. Cleveland's good fortune
Mr. Wattcrson affects since the Republican
nomination was made TO find distinct traces OF
Cleveland mck in the withdrawal of both Mr.
Blaine and Mr.. Depew, who were in his judg-
ment tho Presidents most formidable adj
versaries. Faithful henchmcn and noisy bragg
CARTS of the Democratic party in the same
spirit talk about Cleveland weather very much
as the obsequious Englishman does about
Queens weather, and profess to have implicit
confidence in the President as man of destiny.
The argument is not very serious one, but

A MISTAKEN PROPOSAL.


The proposition of Mr.. Kelley in regard to
the Tariff bill was made on his own response
bility and it may be feared that he did not
properly consider the rights Of his constituents
There are certainly many other Republican
members of Congress, and some Democrats,
who will never consent to vote against the
welfare of their constituents because fraud
in Southern States has given majority TO
the enemies of home industry. Would Judge
Kelley himself feel that he was absolved from
his obligations to his own constituents, and
ready TO vote against their wishes and their
vital interests. because Southern Democrats had
robbed enough Republicans OF the ballot TO
give them q majority ? If he would, certainly
other Republican members may be found who
would not, and the radical objection to his
proposition is that nobody can reasonably ask
to bind all the Republican votes in the House
in conformity with such proposition. The
members ought TO hear from their constituents,
and some of them will act as their constituents
desire. They ought to consider the wishes OF
constituents and the needs of industry next
winter in their action then, and have no right
TO bind themselves by any agreement based on
what can now be known.
Another difficulty Judge Kelley apparently
overlooks The Democrats are going to ask
votes for President Cleveland, and to get as
many as they can, on false pretences They
will assert that the Mills bill is intended for
the more effective protection Of home industry.
They will deny that it looks toward free trade,
or is based upon free-trade theories fragrant
as these mtruths are, Judge Kelley knows that
some persons will be deceived by them. Even
in the workshops of Philadelphia there are men
who will support Mr.. Randall as Democrat,
believing that he would help and not harm
home industry. When the Democratic party
is ready to put aside all its false pretences, to
meet the tariff question honestly, and to abide
by verdict of the people obtained without
deception, there will be some excuse for an
agreement like that proposed.
But even then there will remain the great and
insuperable objection. The Democratic party
does not dare to ask and does not permit a free
and lawful vote of the people. Judge Kelley
knows that the vote in Southern States cannot
be relied upon TO represent the actual will Of
the voterc lie knows the cause; knows only
too well that President Cleveland is in the
White House to-day, and that Democratic
majority is in Congress, because of Democratic
crimes and frauds in Southern States. Not
until the Democratic party ceases to rob the
people of their rights IN part of the Union
can it claim victory for its candidates as a
verdict Of the people.

Il ia remarkable that it was employed in the
case NJ President Van Buren,, MIR. Cleveland
Democratic predecessor from the state OF New
York. When he was nominated Tor second
form no also was described as man OF destiny,
and not without reason. Although he had been
in nublic life for many years he had been
,,n;formlv favored by fortune. While the politi-
cal ambitions of greater men than Mr.. van
puren. notably Mr.. Webster and Mr.. Clay, had
been bafiled by intrigue and cabals, nc had IN
yariably contrived to do the adroit tnhg az
The right moment and to make most fortunate
combinations. Mr. Van Buren's luck was
nroverbal when he was nominated by 5ac-
clamation in 1910, very much as Mr. cleveland
has been in 1888. That good fortune did not
stand in the way of the disastrous defeat which
the Democracy received in the log-cabin and
hord-c;dcr campaign. Presidential luck did
not hold out against the Harrison OF 1910.
II is a good omen for Republican success this
wear that the political conditions SO closely
resemble those of that famous canvass Presi-
dent Cleveland, weakened by his puslllanimous
dealings with Great Britain and Canada, and
committed to low-tarif policy. answers IN
many respects to President Van Buren,, whose
unpopular with public-spirted Americans and
who stood for the principle of free trade Inc
leader whom the opposition party then wanted
as the ablest champion of home industries and
The most popular and magnetic American OF his
time, was Mr. Clay. General Harrison was
chosen as the Wing candidate after party
council conducted with great deliberation and
caution; and although the rank and file OF the
narty did not have their favorite leader, they
disastronsly defeated New-Yorks man OF des-
tiny. In that contest Mr.. Clay, the real Wing
leader Loyalty supported General Harrison, and
contributed powerfully to the success OF the
Protection column. In the same spirit MI
Blaine, the accepted leader of Republlcansn'
and Protection, will remain in the front rank
during the present canvass, the most eloquent
and magnanimous supporter Of the second Har-
rison. If history repeats itself, New DIRK
man of destiny will emerge from the battle
with his reputation for luck badly shattered.
In any event Harrison luck is as well-marked
\ tradition of American politics as cleveland
hck is current superstition OF the day.

Senator Davis's report on the Presidents
use of the veto power. which is included in to-
days Washington Dispatches, is timely and
suggestive. 1t appears that MIR. Cleveland has
vetoed 1862 measures, including 36 bills CIV
ing pensions to individuals, while all his
twenty-one predecessors, from Washington
down, wrote only 1873 veto messages. The
Senate Committee on Pensions contends that
MIR. Clevcands pension vetoes as a rule are
based on differences of opinion as to the value
Of evidence between him and the committees
which examine the cases. and that the Pres-
dents opinions are formed upon reports made
by the Bureau Of Pensions. As the cases re-
ferred by the Executive to the Bureau for
examination and reports may already have
been passed ON adversely, it is not surprising
that the reports are unfavorable. Mr.. Cleve-
lands pension vetocs are lauded by some of his
friends as not only models of wisdom, but as
monuments of industry. The genesis OF the
pension Veto as set forth in the report under
consideration, is calculated to disturb these
agreeable visions.
