The star of Pattison, of Pennsylvania, is
in the ascendant. Twice he has carried his

Rebeling Against Trousers.

Monday
You know all the common people there wear
cotton drawers instead OF trousers" said Mr..
Ramon, land it had always been considered

several years there has been growing feeling
that everybody should wear troIserS-that is to
say, every man. This feeling eliminated the
night before sta ted for New York, when the
city council solemnly resolved that the proper
way for man to hide his leZ was in O thodox
pantaloons. This action had been debated for
some time and with some little warmth but il
finally passed bv a narrow majority.
Many persons doubt the constitutional right
to change by force what may justly be CON

with the state nent hat it is not intended to use
force. The trousers advocates say that it is
only hoped to devise some legal means by which
trousers will be universally worn. The formal
act OF the city council Was the appointment of
committee to study the question, with in

delegations. Gains were made in

majorities ranging from 1000 to 10000.
Among the notable congress men, Roweil
and Cannon (rep.l of Illinois, Mckinley
(rep.) of Ohio, and Breckinridge dem) of
Arkansas, are defeated.
These results are attributed to various
local causes secondarily, but mainly to the
strong opposition TO the Mckinley tariff
and to the force bill. The result is some
thing in the natu-e Of a tidal wave, strong
lyresembling that of 1882. when the demo-
Gratis carried everything before them.
Further returns may be expected to
strengthen the democratic position.

Florida in Lima

The republicans who have been claiming
Florida as a republican state will make no
further claim Of that kind. She is s1lidy
democratic, aud the noisy repu olicans
within her borders, who did great deal of
talking during the recent campaign, will
now keep quiet. Hon. Robert Bullock whom
SPEAKER Reed and his bloody shirt howlers
deprived of his seat in the present congress,
has been reelected to the next congress by
majority that is sufficient to convince
even the most ra5id republican that he was
fairly elected to the present congre and
that the unseating of him was gross po-
litical outrage.
In the first district Mr.. Mallory was
elected by an overwhelming majority, and
in the next congress Florida will have two
representatives Of whom she will be Justly
proud.

What the Victory Means.

The sweeping victory which the demo-
Gratis gained on Tuesday means that the
people are tired Of republican rule and are
hostile to the Mckinley tariff and the force
bill On no other ground can the extraor-
binary gains in democratic congressman,
the defeat of Delamater in Pennsylvania,
the democratic victories in Wisconsin, In-
diana, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire,
and the great democratic gains in
other states, be explained The country
has spoken emphatically against the tariff
that robs the farmer aud widens the gap
between the rich and the poor. 1t has con-
demned the force bill, that would arouse
sectional feeling and greatly disturb the
buAness relations of the north and south.
1t has put its stamp OF disapproval upon the
unconstitutional and outrageous rulings of
Speaker Reed, by which the minority of
the House was deprived of its rights, legally
elected representatives were deprived Of
their seats, and partisan measures forced
through congress.
VIII the present republican congress heed
the voice of the people or proceed with its
partisan work? Is it so drunk with power
that it cannot see the force Of the warning
it has received If it continues the partisan
course which marked its first session the
Republican party will be overwhelmed by
such maJorities in 1892 that it will have
little courage left TO fight another great
political. battle That party is certain to
be beaten In 1892 anyhow, but if it respects
the warning it received on Tuesday it may
still have hopes of regaining power
The result in Pennsylvania shows more
clearly than the democratic victories else
where the extent of the dissatisfaction of
the people with the Republican party and
its policies. In that state republican ma
jority of $4,000 was swept away, and in its
plurality. Pennsylvania is a great manu-.
featuring state, and there, if anywhere, it
was expected that the republican policy of
protection would be upheld. Indeed, dur
ing the campaign, the Pennsylvanians
were told by the republican campaign
orators and the republican organs
that if the Republican party was
defeated in their state the defeat would be
taken as decision against the Mckinley
tariff bill and the high protective system.
According to the admission of the repub-
can leaders, therefore, the Republican
party has condemned the tariff legislation
Of the republican congress.
The Republican party has been given a
severe lesson, and if it has the wisdom to
profit by 1t. the force bill will be consigned
TO pigeon hole, Spe aker Reed will count
no more quorums, and promises will be given
Of tariff that will not enrich The monopo-
lists and impoverish the farmers.

st. Louis is greatly astonished at the
very unique petition of Miss Theresa
Blennerhassett, daughter of Richard S.,
and great granddaughter of Herman Blen-
nerhassett, of Burr conspiracy fame. who
has applied to court for change of name,
on the ground that while she is really the
widow of John Calvin Adams, whom she
married secretly and with whom she
secretly lived as his wife, by
advice of her family, until November,
1871, when he was killed. and though she
had little daughter in the following
August, she would like legally TO resume
her maiden name. She has never been
known by any other, aud for financial
reasons and personal pride as the last of the
Blennerhassetts, she would make the legal
change This is the first revelation to her
1S-year-old daughter, Mary, of her mother
hood. She supposed Theresa had adopted
her. No doubt but the lady is perfectly
sincere in her request. Still, if she merely
wanted to make known her relationship to
her daughter and at the same time establish
the legitimacy of the child she could not
have devised a more adroit nor effective
means of doing so.

CAUSE OF THEIR DEFEAT
Farwen Says it Was the Tariff, ALI.
ance and School Law.

CHICAGO. Nov. Sin the course of an
Interview Senator Farwell said: ''If we
have suffered defeat it is owing to three
things: The Mckinley bill, farmers alli-
ance and school law. There is no
use in denying but that the
people are wonderfully prejudicsd against
the Mckinley bill, and many republicans
seized upon the opportunity of showing their
dis4pproval OF the law. The Mckinley bill
is all right, but the people have to be edu-
Gated up to it, that's all. This bill has been
great soarecrow for the democrats, and
some republicans are weak-kneed enough 60
believe IN the scare. 1t will take time to
get the people 20 fully understand the law
but when they do there will be a land slide

Free thinkers don't get into congress very
much, so they have BEEN holding a little
congress of their own at Portsmouth, o.
Prominent free thinkers from all parts of
this country and Canada gathered
there last week to participate in the four
tenth annual congress of the American
Secular Union. Among those present we're
Charles Watts of Toronto, at one time
Charles Bradlaugh's chief associate in the
free thought work of England; Col Robert
G. Ingersoll, F. NJ. Mcdonald, Thadden B.
Waterman of New York, L. K. Washburn,
Boston; DR.. Henrietta Westbrook, Ida C.
Craddock, Philadelphia; Susan Nixon, Fall
River, Mass, and RABBI Philipsoa, Cincin-
natl. At the meeting of the executive COM
mittee Saturday morning the reports pre-
sented showed that the membership of the
Secular Union had increased by several thou
sands Plans are to be decided upon for the
inaugurating of national agitation in sup
port of the demands: That equitable taxa
ton shall be levied upon church
property in common with other property ;
the total discontinuance of religious instruc-
ton and worship in the public schools, and
especially the reading of the Bible; the re-
peal and prevention of all laws enforcing
the observance of Sunday as a religious in
stitution; the cessation of all appropriations
of public FUNDS for educational and charita-
BILE institutions of a sectarian character.
Undoubtedly it will be quite long time be-
fore these gentle demands are gratified.
Meanwhile the thinkers are perfectly free to
set them down think.

The Old Regime.

Gov.-elect Tillman of South Carolina
says that the day of the old regime in that
state is over. His majority of 5000 seems
to justify him in saying this. Tillman and
the men of whom he is a representative are
on top, and it looks as if they were there to
stay. But there are some splendid men
among the old regime-men who have
rendered South Carolina great service
and whose names will always have an hon.
orable place In the history of the state.
The mistake they made was in not needing
the voice Of the majority Of their party.
But they believed they we're right and they
are men who act In accordance with their
convictions.
Senator Hampton is one OF them. Will
he be retired at the end of his present term
in the Senator IT looks so. He Is not wholly
in sympathy with the men who now control
the state, and it is probable that new man
will be chosen to succeed him. 1t would be
a merited tribute to his worth, however.
and a just recog iition of his services to per-
nit him to remain in political harness until
the end of his career, or until he retires vol
UNFAIRLY.
There is no danger to the state to be
apprehended from the rule of the new men.
They will not be as radical in action as they
have been in speech. They will attempt to
carry out their ideas, but they will do so
with proper regard for the best interests
of the state. Public sentiment will keep
them on the right track, and South Carolina
will move along as prosperously as if there
had never been tussle between the men of
the old and those Of the new regime.
