We are enabled to pay higher wages by the operation of many causes, of which these two are. perhaps, the chief, there is greater spirit of emulation among American than among European work men, better fed, better clothed, exercls- ing greater political rights, there IS more ambition among them so that IS fact that American workman do more and better work in given number of hours than the workmen of other countries, and c.gnate to this Is the inventive power of our people, which leads to the use of machinery in nearly all trades, to a greater extent than in England or elsewhere. The second reason is that we have more profitable markets for our goods than European manufacturers possess-the sixty millions of Amer jean people, being in possession of more money than any equal number else where, buy more goods. The people of this country buy more woolen goods clothing, carpets. blankets, etc.-than all the other people in the world pu! together. They also purchase more iron ware and consume more food per capita than the people of any other coun- try. American producers have home market such as no other producers pos sess. Now, 1t is obvious that home market IS less risky and more profitable than foreign one. Consequently, our manufacturers can afford to pay good wages when they go to create home market.

Special Agent Bevans has been work ing this land district now for year and a haf-six months in trying to scent timber cutting frauds, and one year on the scent of land frauds. During that time he has tried one case against . settler, who has resided continuously on his land for nine years. and got worsted so badly that if he had proven the case as his charges were made out, he would sill have los; 1t. We are told that many of the timber cutting suits, recently instituted. are based upon reports from Colonel Bevans. Whether this be true or not. they are on par with the land suit recently tried, and the deparlm. nt of justice should order the proper officer to withdraw them immediately, as govern ment that was too magnanimous to hang its traitors, who used their power to de stroy our national fabric, cannot we'll afford to harass. annoy and persecute settlers on its frontier, by petty suits on the reports of it's special agents.

THE WAGE QUESTION.

Our contemporary published. a few days since, an article copied from one of its exchanges purporting to give a com parative schedule of wages paid in America and England in which the latter appeared as paying the higher wages. Of course the ear marks of some disciple of Golden was plainly visible in the alledged schedule, and not likely to deceive any intelligent per- son, as statistics go to show the contrary to be true. VIZ: that higher wages are paid to all kind of laborers and artisans in America than in England. Not only are the wages Tn the United States higher than in England. but there is no country on the face of the globe where wage workers are pad as high wages as they are and have been in the United States under our protective system.
 AS sample of the comparative wages paid in the United States and England we quote the following taken from the Chicago Inter-Ocean, and which is re l.oklo.

His Reason for Being a Repu bil.
 can.

At a recent political meeting in New Mexico w. C. Bowman, an ex. confeder- ate soldier, was called on to express his sentiment when he gave his reasons for being republican.
 He stated that he was a confederate soldier because he was born and raised under the peculiar political institution of the southern people, and being taught that those creeds were right went with the southern people to destroy the greatest, grandest and best country ex- isting under the broad dome of the hea- vens. Since the close of the war he had studied the history of our nation from the days of Washington to the present, and found that even m the first days of our country's existence there was a party that was an enemy to national govern ment, and in favor of a weak federation of states. That party was the democratic party of to-day, and the democratic party of to-day, and the democ- racy of the war of the rebellion, while the federalists of Washington's day, and who stood with him m forming a strong national government, IS the republican party of this day and generation. That he had solemnly promised himself that he would bring up his children to re- were and love the flag of their country, and he could not do that and marshal with the democratic party.

POLITICAL POINTERS.

Half million dollars has been sent
 from New York to Indianan as starter
 for the campaign.
 Boulanger had his Floquet, and Cleve-
 land will have his Harrison; or, in other
 words, Cleveland will get it in the neck. The Colorado Catholic says that if it
 be true that Morton gave $50, 900 to the
 furnishing Irish, he will poll tremen- dous vote in New York.
 The Philadelphia American states that there is probably not one of the
 Pennsylvania bolters of 1884 vho does not support General Harrison.
 The Baltimore Sun, democratic, says that Indiana and Connecticut will go for Harrison. Those, with the other sure republican states will elect him. It's pretty tough to have to fight the solid south and England at the same time, but they were both whipped in the sixties, and the American people can do it again, this time with the ballot. Who is the man that wrote the plank in the democratic platform of 1864 which pronounced the war failure, and demanded an immediate cessation of hostilitlesi They say he is running for vice-president this year on the demo- cratic ticket. Can this be true ?-Ex.
 The London Star speaking of Cleve- lands nominations says: "We may we'll re-echo that enthusiasm on this side of the water, for the re- election of President Cleveland means the adoption of his programme of tariff revision, and his ideas on that subject goes a long way toward fro trade"
 "Republicans against democrats protection against free trade sur plus against depleted treasury; the American flag against the red bandana a soldier and a statesman against a sheriff and mayor; America against England. What ticket will you vote What's the matter with Harrison and Morton3 They are sound on all the issues" is the way an exchange sensibly states the issue of the day.
 The free traders appear to have been making a study of the constitution of the late confederate states of which the closing paragraph reads: "But no bounty shall be granted from the treas ury, nor shall any duty or tax on impor- tation from foreign nations be laid to promote or foster any branch of indus try" On this identical rating the moral support of England was given to the re- bellious states. and aiming for a similar l result they will give like support to the l democratic party to-day.
 The Omaha Republican states the political situation as follows "When MT. Cleveland had placated the south he took the party in the north by the slack of lts trousers and threw it bodily from protection to free trade. It was left to the choice of accepting the situation Or splitting the party by kicking. It loved office too we'll to do the latter. Mr. Cleveland made himself necessity to his party by making himself its master. and she is entitled to the credit which he claims of nominating himself"

Democratic editors and democratic wri-

Democratic editors and democratic wri. ters make gret freedom with the use of the now somewhat stereotyped sentence
 "The democrats point to an administra- ton clean in all parts, to pledges redeemed and contracts fulfilled" The veriest tyro in politics knows the utter falseness of this assertion. Two of the cardinal principles to which the demo cratic party pledged itself in the plat form four years ago. was adherence to civil service reform, and to the appoint ment of territorial officers from the territories. How we'll the latter pledge has been fulfilled in this territory, it IS only necessary to call to mind the va rious offices with names and residences of the officers filling them when it will be seen that almost every office, from the governor down to the spies of the interior department. are filled by resi- dents of other states. Wescan call to mind two exceptions at present that of United States marshal and receiver of the Prescott land office. Not only was this home rule pledge of the party bro- ken in the appointment of chief justice and associate justices of the territory, but the civil service plank of the plat form was also broken as the entire judiciary of the territory were removed by President Cleveland, not only in vio- lation of his civil service reform pledge but in violation of United States law, to give position to democratic office seek CTS. That the pledges of that party have not been fulfilled in a single instance so far as the territories are concerned, and they are about the only ones territorial residents are interested in, every one knows. If the democratic party can point to all other pledges equally full filled, they can point to mass of bro ken and dis6gured pledges. only, from one end of the line to the other.

the state, city and county Offices, aud the pa.
tronage pertaining TO them, which is almost
as valuable as that of the president OF the
United States. And Hill has won this posi-
ton without sacrificing tho confidence OF the
democratic party in the country atlarse. His
friends did not cut Cleveland as 1t was cx-
pected they would. No doubt many of them
voted for Harrison or did not vote at all, but
Hills not responsible for that fact. The rea-
son that he did not 60. overheard with Clevc-
land Is that he had the liquor element at his
back-the distillers aud brewers, many of
whom are republicans, and the 195, 900 saloons
with which the state Of New York is cursed.
The liquor men raised $500, 900 to defeat Mil
Ter and high license, and the money has been
very effectuaily used. That sum represents
nearly Is cents per capita of voters in the
state, or q ratio Of $50 for every unit In Hills
majority, and the state committee had much
moro money contributed from other sources.
Wherever there is a large German or Irish
population Hill shows very largo gains and
went away ahead Of his ticket, as In Buffalo,
for example, where he got $500 majority and
Harrison got 2, 4G0--a difference between Hill
and Cleveland of nearly 5000 votes; and by
the way, the president ran over 1900 be.
hind his vote Of 1884 in Buffalo, as l pre-
dicted he would when l visited that city in
September.

where the question was raised whether
the chief OF the metropolitan police
should not be superseded by some n
accustomed to investigate crime. So
intense has the public feeling become,
and so strong is the feeling OF police in
efficiency, that undoubtedly the govern
ment will be forced to recrganize the
police establishment or take the risk OF
having its failure to do so made politi-
cal capital OF by the opposition.
The latest murder suggests that the
fiend who committed 1t, doubtless the
same who perpetrated the Whitechapel
horrors, was merely resting from his
saturnalia OF slaughter, and that he had
not fulfilled his most diabolical purpose.
It is conceivable tlrat a person OF
such unparalleled brutality as this
London murderer might become
satisfied for n time with his
iendish work. The fact OF his hav-
ing gone to another part of the city to
continue his fearful crimes shows, also,
that he is q person Of great cunning n
shrewdness, and strengthens the
opinion that he is a man Of more than
common intelligence and doubtless OF
some surgical skill. Regarding the
motive opinions still differ, but the fact
that all the murdered we're fallen
women suggests very strongly that the
murderer is actuated solely by revenge.
The whole thing, however, is a terrible
mystery, which has created a world
wide interest, and the solution OF which,
il ever effected, will doubtless bring
some strange revelations. Meanwhile
all London is in a state OF feverish ap-
prehension.

The World Moves.

~. Il. POSI-.
Well, the first battle has been lost by a
narrow vote. What follows? The world
moves, either forward or backward; it does
not stand still. The victors in Tuesdays
contest can no more stand still than the
vanquished. The responsibility for the ma
tional finances will, after the 4th Of March
next, rest with the republican party, The
surplus will stare Mr.. Harrison in the face,
just as it now stares Mr.. Cleveland. IL must
be got rid Of, either by reduced taxation or
by extravagant appropriations. The small
ness of the republican majority forbids that
the latter policy should be adopted. 1t will
not be safe to %inaugurate a system of ma
tional profigacy In order to empty the treas
ury. AS little will it be safe to repeal the
whiskey tax in order to maintain imposts on
the necessaries of life. The masses nave got
an mixing for the first time that the tariff is
a tax on consumption, and therefore an undue
and unjust burden upon labor. They are not
likely TO forget anything that they have
learned in this camgaign of education.

with a Heavy Heart.


II is with heavy7ttart that we record the
defeat of Mr.. Cleveland and the return of
the republican party to power.
II is with deep forebodings that we look
into the future. What ills may come to these
southern states, so lately put in the way of
peace and prosperity, we have now neither
the time nor the heart to inquire.
Fortunately, tho way of our duty is clear
and definite. II is to close ranks, stand firm,
and at any h~azasasand in any despite to
MAINTAIN the intesfky and the supremacy Of
the democratic party in the south. Let us
do this and the essential things may be
saved to US. II We divide, we shall lose
everything.
II we can be Instrumental In restoring this
grand old party TO the place from which it
has fallen, and in clothing it again with the
power of which it has been SO wantonly
stripped, we shall therein have worked the
sum of our earthly ambition. If this may
not be-if tho wounds from which the party
suffers are mortal-then we shall be content
to take our place with the '.old guard of
democracy, which may die, but which will
never surrender I!
