senafer Kennn.

On the second ballot the day be-
fore the adjournment of the Legisla-
ture, after . long and stubborn
fight on the part of C. P. Dorr, the
delegate from Webster, to defeat the
election of Mr.. Kenna, he voted for
him. and Mr.. Kenna was triumph.
antIy elected to succeed himself il,
the United States Senate, for the
term of six years from the 4th day
of next March, he receiving every
Democratic vote-46, and Dir. Goff
every Republican vote-45. The
resuls was announced amidst the
greatest excitement, and the Demo
eracy being overioyed gave vent to
their pent up feelings, in a way
that made the walls of the capitol
resound with their Joyous yeIls;
while the Republicans were down
east at the way matters had turned,
for they never for a moment believed
that an election would be secured
during the term of the Legislature.
The result is very gratifying to the
Democracy of the State and of the
whole country. for it was right that
Mr.. Kenna should be reelected, and
maintains party discipline. 1t is
now believed that Gen. Golf in his
disappointment will abandon the
Gubernatorial contest since he has
failed to be elected Senator, and that
Fleming will be declared the Gov
ernor. We extend our eongratula-
tions to Senator Kenna on his
triumphant election. The Demo
cratic flag still waves in the gallant
little mountain State, and when the
next election rolls round, the DEM
Oeraey will not be caught mapping
As they were last November. They
know now where the Republicans
got in their work, they have expos
ed their hand, and no repetition of
it will ever be allowed in this State
again. In 1892 the Democracy will
roll up its old time majority for the
State ticket.

From the Boston Journal.
have reliable authority in stat
ing that Mrs. Cleveland will make a
mild venture into literature soon
after her retirement to private life.
Her undertaking will be modest
one, consisting of magazine article,
which; however, may evolve into
two before it is finished. What
periodical will secure the article
cannot be definitely said, but in all
probability the readers of the Cen
tury will find it in one of their forth
coming numbers. By her friends
Mrs. Cleveland's taste for literature
is well known, and her compositions
at college show that the pen glides
easily and effectively in her hand.
The Century's editor, Mr.. Richard
Watson Glider, is close friend of
the Clevelands, and it is doubtless
due to his persuasion that Mrs.
Cleveland has consented to write
something for publication. The
channel through which it will be
given to the public seems, therefore,
easy to define.

THE couRTs no DECIDE.
Conference Between Gen. Golf
and Gov. NilsOn-GOH will
Not Appeal 10 Harrison.

CHARLESTON, February 21.-The
triumphant election of Democratic
United States Senator caught the
Republican schemers amidship. A
week ago they claimed that Gen.
Golf was going TO assume the oath
of Office on March 4, and that the
United States Government would
recognize him, and that the United
States Senate would seat his APP
pointee. If the Republican leader
ever entertained the high blown
hopes put in his mouth by followers,
he come down from his high horse.
To-day he sought Gov. Wilson and
the two had a conference. Demo-
Gratis have claimed with good reason
from the first that Wilson would
hold over pending the decision of
the gubernatorial contest. The Con-
stitution is plain on this point.
Golf will take the oath, but there
will be no war. The two gentlemen
agreed that the issue between them
as to which will be Governor, pend
ing the trial of the gubernatorial
contest, should be decided in the
Courts without any appeal to Wash
ington. Golf will probably proceed
against Wilson by mandamus to
compel him to turn over the Gov
ernor's office. The case will then
be in Court and there it will be
settled. This arrangement removes
all political necessity on either side
for the Legislature to be sitting on
March 4.

why Not look to the North?

The caucus of Republican Sena-
tors have intrusted to the Hon. Will
liam Maxwell Evarts the solemn
task of calling up the report of the
Committee on Privileges and Elect
ions upon certain "outrages" said
to have been committed in Texas.
So that the Southern question
will be whirled along on the stream
of Mr.. Evart's oratory like chip
in the unceasing current of the
Father of Waters
1t is singular that not Mr.. Evarts
nor any of his Republican colleagues
has an eye for the Northern ques-
ton.
In the South, according to these
partial patriots, many voters are in
undated or the vote is not fairly
counted, and SO the minority rules.
In the State of New York, owing to
the persistent refusal of Republican
Legislatures to take an enumeration
of the inhabitants as is prescribed
by the State Constitution, the Dem
ocrats are deprived of the proper
tionate representation in the Legis-
lature to which their numbers enti-
tie them. The vote of one man in
the rural counties is equal to the
votes of three, four or five men in
the cities. This is not justice. 1t
is not equality of representation.
1t is an outrage. 1t insures Re-
publican Legislature in u State nor
mally Democratic. 1t is case of
rule by the minority.
Why doesn't Mr. Evarts investi-
gate his own State?
And why don't the Hon. Joseph
R. Hawley and the Hon. Orville III.
Platt, Senators in Congress from
Connecticut, ask the Senate to in
vestigate the system of rule by the
minority in that Slater
Let us have rule by the majority
in Texas. In fact, we do have it by
a large majority. In time, rule by
the majority may come in Connec-
ticutt and in New York. The Re-
publican Senators who are so pertu-
bed about insuring a Republican
form of Government to the South,
might pluck out of their own eyes
beams enough to make a pontoon

Is This a Poor Mans Country

Wetzel Democrat.
During the late campaign the
Democratic party waged an unsuc-
cessful battle. 1t was unsuccessful
because the rich monopolists were
arrayed against it. No plcthoric
purses were opened and poured into
Democratic Golfers. And why?-
Because the Democratic party had es-
poused the cause of the poor against
the rich.
This is rich mans country, be-
cause rich men make the laws and
run the Government. We hear a
great deal of twaddle about the
blessings of capital. What made
capital2 Labor. Yet labor has no
chance in a political contest. Here
and there a temporary success, but
in the main, defeat.
Our new President is the creature
of monopoly. If he yields to the
better instincts of his nature and Of
tends the men who made him, there
will be no four years more for Harri-
son.
What runs the q. S. Senate? Mo-
nopoly. 1t is full of monopolists
and millionaires. 1t is coming to
this, that no man but u millionaire
can be elected. Senator Kenna
would have been elected long ago
had he been a moneybag, and one
half of the strength of Golf is the
magnetism of hard cash. There is a
strong undercurrent of opposition
to Kenna because he is not able,
during campaign, to pour money
into the canvass and corrupt the
elections. This is what has been
doing the mischief 1t is not all
Dorr by several huckleberries.
Aside from political advantages
and control. the millionaire has 9th
CIR social and economical privileges.
We do not mean the tariff alone.
There is not millionaire in the
United States who has not his pock-
ct full of railway passes. If a poor
man wishes to travel he must buy a
ticket with the hard spot cash, or
the conductor will bounce him. Be-
hind him sits millionaire, who,
when the conductor comes along,
will haul ont big pocketbook and
fish for half hour among his lot of
passes to find the one for the road
on which he is travelling. When he
stops at hotel he gets six dollars
worth of services, extras and atten-
ton, at any three dollars house.
The poor man will do well to get
the worth of a dollar and seventy
five cents. A rich man does not
need money to travel. He can 90
from New York to San Francisco on
! ten dollars. IF poor man wants
to make the trip he has either to
sell his house aud lot or stay at
home.
These are not the whimperings OF
a gangrened poverty. They are
the accursed facts-accursed because
they are of the multitude of things
that are eating, like eanker, at the
heart of this nation. This is not the
and of the free and the home of the
rich and the land Of the slave.

The Lie Given 10 The Two Pet
Assertions Of High Tariff
ShOuters.

The Lie Given 10 tie Two Pet
Assertions Of High Tariff
ShOuters.
Chicago Leader.
During the last campaign, in imi-
tation of the statement of Mr.. Har-
rison's letter of acceptance, it was
urged from every stump that the
tariff was not tax. to be paid by
the consumer, but ar. .impost, paid
by the foreigner Mr.. Harrison
stated in his better of acceptance
that those VINO argued that the tar
if was a Tx were by that act at
lacking the very. priuicle of protec=
ton, 1t was further argued that
the effect of the tariff caused a re-
1.uction in the price of all articles
subject to its provisions. In this
connection the following extract
from the Senate. substitute for the
House tariff bill will be found sug-
gestive:
nSee. 251O. All lumber, timber,
hemp, manila, wire rope, and iron
and steel rods, bars, spikes, nails,
plates, angels, bars and bolts, and
copper and composition metal which
may be necessary for the construc-
ton and equipment of vessels in the
United States for foreign account
and ownership, or for the purpose of
being employed IN the foreign trade,
including the trade between the At
lantic and Pacific ports of the United
States, after the passage of this act,
may be imported in bond, under
such regulations as the Secretary of
the Treasury may prescribe; and
upon proof that such materials have
been used for such purpose, no du-
ties shall be paid thereon. But yes
sells receiving the benefit of this sec
ton shall not be allowed to engage
in the coastwise trade of the United
States more than two months in any
one year, except upon the payment
to the United States of the duties
on which rebate is herein allowed;
provided, that vessels built in the
United States for foreign account
and ownership shall not be allowed
to engage in the coastwise trade of
the United States"
Now it may be fairly asked why
if the tariff is not a tax to be paid
by the importer, but by the foreign
er, the allowance of this rebate is of
any benefit to the American ship
builder? Or, if the effect of the tar
iff tax is to reduce the cost of every
article embraced in its provisions,
where is any benefit to follow FROM
the suspension of its operationP If
it is said that these are only few
articles, and cannot be said to form
basis for an argument against a
tariff which embraces nearly four
thousand others, it must be remem-
bered that only articles manufact-
ured from raw materials imported
from abroad, the law allows an al
most similar rebate thus giving the
lie to both of the assertions of the
tariff takers to which reference is
made.
This is not an exceptional case.
Every arguments of the high-taxers
is equally fallacious when submitted
to the test of reason.

neck and to timber above and then
jumped off. She was found Satur-
