There is a man down in Pennsylvania
Mr. James Il. Powell, who ascribes the loss
TO the country Of its farmer population,
not to the protective tariff, or the ropubli-
can administration but to poor roads. Mr..
Powell, at n meeting Of the Pennsylvania
State road commission, the other day, said;
"Poor roads are compelling farmers to give
up agriculture and go TO the large cities
and towns. One-third Of every year a
farmer in Pennsylvania Is bound up at his
home with mud, " 1T is just so in Vermont,
but the people find it cheaper 10 be bound

Senator Edmunds's Rule.

Here is what Senator Edmunds himself
Is reported to have said regarding the rule
to limit debate on the tariff bill which he
presented in the Senate and about which so
much has been said: THE rule" said
Senator Edmunds, explains itself. 1t ap-
plies to the tariff bill, and that only
favor the fullest latitude in the discussion of
all measures. l think, however, that gen
tlemen should speak to the point and not
intersperse their remarks with historic
diatribes and philosophical essays that have
no bearing upon the question they are dis
cussing If 1t becomes apparent that one
gentleman or half dozen gentlemen are
merely talking for the purpose OF obstruct-
ing the proceedings, the presiding officer, in
my Judgment, has right to cut Off debate
but only, as | say, where it is manilestly
the purpose to delay action. Such rule
exists in the British House of Parliament
and in all parliamentary bodies, 1t is neces-
sary for their own protection. In such
cases the speaker can stop debate by refus-
ing to recognize the gentleman. | should
not regard such action on speakers part
as revolutionary 1t is wholly different
from the adoption of the previous question,
which limits debate to certain time before
discussion begins. We ought TO have the
freest discussion on measures where discus
sion is essential, and that liberty ought
never to be surrendered by the Senate "

The work ofthe Farmers Alliance

The Work fthc Farmers Alliance.
The Farmers Alliance is working deal
of mischief among the politicians in some
sections of the South aud West There has
been something very like n stampede from
Washington of late, representatives from
districts where the alliance is at work be
ing compelled to hurry home to look after
their fences. The farmers do not follow
the old methods of political warfare. They
are neither for the democratic nor yet for
the republican party but first, last and all
the time for the farmer. Four Georgia
representatives. if not five arc fearful of
the work of the alliance in that State and
the farmers are making a strong effort to
get control of tho Legislature and to put
one OF their own number in the
Senate in place Of Gov. Joe Browr.
In Mississippi four veterans of the
House are in danger of being deposed 10y the
alliance, and in Alabama number. In
KANSAS Iowa and Illinois the situation is
the same. As evidence OF its power tho

PROHIBITION sWAMpED.

One of the curious results of the re-
cent tidal wave is the utter humiliation
of the prohibition party as national or
ganization. Such candidates as have
been nominated by that party this fall
were ignored during the campaign and
have been overlooked in the footing up
of the returns. What was once an ag-
gressive organization has disappeared
from view in one short summer, and pro-
hibition is not likely to arise again ex-
cept as it is taken up here and there as a
plank in state platform where popular
sentiment in favor OF that method OF
regulating the liquor traffic may be
strong enough to compel recognition.
1t was national parry in 1884 and cast
respectable vote for ST. John for the
presidency. In 1883 1t had grown
amazingly, and Clinton B. Fisk was COM
plimented with support which promised
great things for the naturalization
of the party, the eventual adoption of a
national prohibitory amendment and the
enactment of stringent laws in accord
ance Herewith. St. John boasted with
all apparent sincerity thah he would live
to see prohibition congress and pro-
hibition president. Last Tuesday in
Nebraska it was defeated by 10000
votes. Today all is changed. Prohibi.
tion, as national issue is as dead as
woman suffrage. The dense shade cast
by other and greater issues has caused
the once promising plant to fade and
wither.
The principle will survive always, but

option laws and not by national legis

DEpEw INTERVIEWED.


Chauncey M. DePew was interviewed
the other day over the result of the cleo
ton, and said:
'sIt is the Mckinley law, not the legit-
innate results of the Mckinley law, but
the effect of its going into operation only
thirty days before election effects which
ought to have been forseen. I am not
surprised that we are to have a demo-
cratic house of representatives. Some
weeks ago I made up my mind that the
democrats would carry the lower house
of congress, though I did not expect SO
great majority as this. I'll tell you
what made mo think so. It was the
way the bill was being made use
of. All over the country prices have
been going up or going to 60 up be-
cause of the Mckinley bill, and generally
on articles which were not affected by
that measure. Some friends of mine
went to New York to buy piano, and
the man told them they had better buy
at once as pianos were going to increase
800 in price because Of the Mckinley
bill, although as matter of fact pianos
were not in the new tariff.
"In other words, trdesman of ali kinds
republican as we'll as democratic, have
made the Mckinley bill an excuse for
raising their prices, or threatening to do
SO. The result is that people will not
stand these higher prices, or are mad at
it, and turn on the party that passed the
bill.
1.-THE farmers have been heard from.
They come into their country towns
to buy something and are told by the
storekeeper that the Mckinley tariff is
raising the price of everything, and they
had better buy at once, and, it is need
less to say, they don't like it. These are
the illegitimate results Of the Mckinley
tariff. 1t has hardly got into operation
yet, and it's good affects cannot be felt
for some time to come. / don't believe
it will raise prices, as people are now
pretending it will, and I think il will
stimulate industry and in two years
hence will revise the decision of yester-
day, for it is clear that the idea of pro.
tection is deeply rooted and growing in
this country. A great deal Of the tidal
wave OF democracy is the result, also, Of
the disappointment Of Office seekers
This was the first general national cleo
ton since President Harrison went in
With 100000 offices to dispose d
there were 100000 Office seekers, and
for every man getting an office five Of
more have been disappointed. Many d
these enterprising gentleman had knife
up their sleeve aud yesterday they lel
the administration feel it.
aThe republicans, however, while
willing to crafty their feelings thus il
an Off year, will not sacrifice the presi
dency and there will be no such DANCE
to fear two years hence. The fraadu
lent use which has been made OF the Mc
Kinley tariff will be discovered and pun
Il ished and it's beneficial effects will begil
j to be felt thronght The land IN 1892"

sSpeaker Reed has the entire confidence
OF his own party, and while the election
may affect his presidential prospects, it
viii not affect his standing among repub-
licans."
''What was the matter in Pennsylvan-
ia and Massachusetts,
'sThe democratic victory in Pennsyl-
vania, said Mr.. Depew, records con-
domination Of machine politics. In poll
tics machine goes along all right for a
certain time until it gets to be close
corporation or insolent, when it loses
public sympathy and is sat down upon.
As to Massachusetts,, the cause of the
democratic victory is very different.
Massachusetts has been getting more
and more democratic for twenty years
past and steadily drifting away from its
old republican anchorage. The yankee
boys have been leaving their farms and
going west and emigrants have been TAX
ing their places. The complication Of
the population of Massachusetts, is very
different now from what it was twenty
years ago, not because people have
changed their minds or politics, but be-
cause they have changed their residence.
The Massachusetts vote is now scatter.
ed all over the. country. The foreign
vote in Massachusetts,, which has beer
increasing SO enormously of late years
is almost altogether democratic"
