to re-eStablsh Democratic principles so
solidly that Democratic supremacy will
endure as long rs the republic lives.
The tariff barons have reached the
limit of their llumbugglng methods.
They can't deceive the masses any
longer. And since the Australian vot-
ing system has been so generally
adopted money has lost its power as q
corruptlng influence.
If the Republicans really think that
their defeat is due to Democratic mis-
representation of the MCKINLEY law,
we give them cordial Invitation to re-
new the issue in 1892. There are two
years ahead of us, for discussion. That
will give tie Republicans abundant OPP
portunlty to correct any mSrepresenta-
lions we may have been guilty of. The
Democrats are not only willing to take
up the fight where it was left off on last
election day, but are willing to stake
all their hopes for the future on the in
telligent sense of the American people.
The Democrats stand by their guns.
Now let the Republicans stand by theirs.

THE SENATE YIELDING,

There had not been before the cleo.
ton much disposition to challenge the
Republican boast that, with the new
states they had introduced, they had
made the senate impregnable to all as
sault for a decade. But the people have
gone beyond all the visions of partisan
enthusiasm. The senate now has 81
Republicans to 81 Democrats, Including
the about to be elected in Wyoming
and Idaho. This majority of Il is al
most without precedent since the war.
Next March the terms of Is senators ex-
pire. OF these IL are Republicans and
70 Democrats. All of the latter have
Seen or will be returned. The Repub-
ficans will lose the senators in Wiscon-
sin, Illinois and New York, cutting
down their majority from Il to s.
Then New Hampshire seems likely
to send Democrat if crooked work
is not used to thwart the will of the peo-
pie. This will take off two more. Kan
san will send Farmers Alliance man,
who will act with the Democrats in
tariff matters. Conceding Republicans
IN both the DakotaS, the party NAV not
have more than four majority. At all
events. the fourteen are pretty certain
to be reduced half at the opening of

later this may be made minority. If

the Democrats, the senate that will
come in with the administration will be
Democratic. There will be chances for

THE sTOCK WAR

Ii was Mr.. WILLARD who got the
worst of itin the stock pit yesterday. yet
no one Jared particularly well. The
failure of QUICKER, HOWELL. IL Co..
who handled WILLARD securities,
and the big drop in Northern Pacific
stock, made it altogether an uncOmfort-
able day for the big Drained and big
Souled railroad king. But if there is
any man who can look misfortune
sqnarely in the face without blinking an
eye, that man is HENRY WILLARD. He
has the happy faculty of retaining his
nerve and of staying on his feet when
every one else goes down. So the
probability is that some of the bulls
and bears who were squeezing WILL
LARD yesterday will get it in the neck
themselves to-day.
1t is big game the big spectators
are playing. The stakes are immense,
and the one who holds the winning
hand in the end will rake a big pile
from the board. But there are going
to be a good many wrecks before the
stock war is over. 1t is simply queS
ton of a survival of the shrewdest. And
it all comes of allowing so many Ameri-
can securities to pass into the posses
sion of foreign holders. Immense for
tunes are being daily sacrificed on the
altar OF greed, but. fortunately, those
who are losing are able to lose. And III
most cases they got their fortunes with
out earning them. Their wealth was
accumulated just as it is going. by tax
ing advantage of the miSfortunes Of
others. After all, the masses of the
people look upon the struggle in Wall
street with degree of complacency, for
they can see the hand of rctributiye

THEY ARE ALL RIGHT.

Gov. HOARD. of Wisconsin, is not a
man who learns wisdom from exper-
fence. His crushing defeat on that''little
school house" issue causes him to take
morbid view of the educational pros
poets of Wisconsin. In recent inter
view i'll the Milwaukee Sentinel he is
quoted as saying: II believe that the re-
suit of the election is fraught with the
greatest danger TO the edu cational in
tcreStS of the state. 1t is the assertion
through the right OF suffrage of those
elements which through ignorance,
blgotry, or design, are opposed to tho
American system of education" No
man in high public station can indulge
III more foolish talk than that. Gov.
HOARD doesn't believe anything Of
the sort; or if ne does, then man with
so iittlesense has no business to be gov
ernor. 1t was Il good thing the people of
Wisconsin expelled such ninc0mpoop
from Office
The educational interests of Wiscon-
sin will be Just as safe i'll the hands of
the incoming Democratic administra-
ton as they ever were under Republi-
can rule. Popular education is in no
sense partisan measure in this coun-
try. The public school system is an
American institution which cannot be
disturbed by the rise and fall of politi-
cal parties. 1t belongs to the people,
and the people will take care OF their
own.
What the Wisconsin people meant to
say 10y their late vote was that Puritan
ism shall not supplant religious freedom
on these Western plains. One mans
religion IS just as good as another's out
here in the West. The BENNETT law
may suit the people along the rocky
eoass of New England, but it'doesn't
fouch the popular chord in til hearts of
our Western people, whose opinions are
as broad as their prairie5. We are going
to maintain the public school for the
benefit of all classes who care to avail
themselves of its benefits. But if the
Catholic or the Lutheran wants to main
tain private school ut Individual ex-
pense he has the right to do so as long
as he lives under the protecting ;egis of
the Stars and stripes. That is the DEM
ocratic platform and on it the Wiscon-
sin Democrats won most glorious vic
tory.
Gov. HOARD can dry his tears. The
cause of education in Wisconsin is all
right. The Badger state youngsters are
not going to grow up in ignorance.
They are going to grow up to be intelIi-
gent men like their fathers and vote any
party out of power which indorses
Quayism, Reedism, McKinteyism and
BennettiSm.

A CONTRAST.

The manufacturing firm Of RUSSELL
IL Co., at MaSsillon, o., employs several
hundred men. and is apparently one of
the combinations that are fostered by
the MCKINLEY fabric. No DOUBT it con-
tributed largely to the immense fund
used in that district to effect the cleo
ton of Mr.. MCKINLEY. They were I'M
able to induce all their men to vote for
him, and, upon his defeat, took their
revenge by reducing the wages 33 per
cent of all their workmen who did not
vote the Republican ticket. OF these,
forty seven have quit work. The case
is Illustrative. 1t shows that there is
truth in the charge that many of the
great manufacturers use their opporttl-
mites to compel their operatives to vote
as they wish. But this is not the fact
with all of them. There are those who
do not believe it is the rightful policy
of the government to tax the pc ople to
promote the interests of class. One
of these is MICHAEL HARTER, who was
elected to congress as tariff reformer
in district not far from that Of Nc
KINLEY. He,is one of the largest man.
ufacturers in Ohio, and has more men
in his shops than the RUSSELL. firm.
Before the election he addressed cir
cular to those in his employ, in which
he said:
While it would be very gratifying TO me to
have your unanimous vote, wish now. when
L am candidate for Office, TO denounce the
practice SO often pursued of using intimida-
ton or undue influence by saying to you that
no mans wages or employment in any estab-
lishment in which l have any voice or con-
troll shall depend upon how he votes.
That is the brOad-guage. true man,
who recognizes the right of those in his
service TO have opinions of their own.
He has the candor to say further:
think your wages would have been larger.
your employment more regular and your liv-
ing expenses smaller during the past twenty
two years, the time of the compauy's exist
ence, had the government limited its tariff
taxes to its needs for pensions, interest and
current expenses.
lie is representative of a large class
of manufacturers who do not ask that
the government shall impose tariffs for
their benefit. All they need is that they
shall not be hampered by oppressive tax
alton OF the materials they use. Tariff
reduction does not mean discourage
mcnt of home industries.

THE LOST AMENDMENTS.

Additional evidence that the people
voted with unusual Intelligence and dis
elimination this year is found in the re-
turns on the two amendments which
were submitted to a popular vote at the
late election. Both were defeated, as
they ought to have been. Both meas
ures were lobbied through the ieglsla-
ture in the confident expectation that
they would be ratified, not because they
were wanted, but simply because of the
usual popular Indifference to such meas
ures. In this, however, the promoters
of these measures were disappointed.
The people had their eyes skinned this
year, and were scrutinizing everything
that came up. A glance at the two
measures satisfied the voters that there
was no pressing necessity for either.
They went out with the up-going tide
which landed the Republican party at
the head of Salt river.

HAVE THE EARTH.

1t has been favorite Republican
taunt that the Democratic party had
most of its strength in congress from
the South; that the North was nearly
solid for the Republicans, and therefore
the Democratic party was sectional, and
the Republican national. In the light
OF the elections last week, as they now
seem to foot up, tine Democrats have
majority in congress from both the
North and South. In the twenty-eight
Northern states the opposition to the
Republicans have about 125 members to
IS Republicans. Leaving out the AL
lance men, still the Democrats have
handsome majority. In the present con-
gress the Republicans have majority of
96 in these states. In the South the Dem
ocrats have 81 and the Republicans 81.
In the incoming congress the Republi-
cans will have but to 116 Democrats
and Alliance Democrats. The Demo
Gratis not only have majority of the
membership in both sections, but they
have more men from the North than
from the South, very nearly 124 to 1l6,
not emitting the Alliance men from
either section, as there are perhaps as
many Of that designation from one as
the other. The examination might be
continued to the groupings of states
commonly made, and it will be found
that only in the Pacific coast group have
the Republicans a majority. The popu-
lar wave did not quite get over
the Rockies, but will later. In
New England the Republicans are
able to count all even share
Of the delegation by having Sep
TENDER elections in Vermont and Maine.
The Eastern Middle states of New Jer-
sey, Pennsy lYania and New York have
nineteen majority for the Republicans
now, but 1t is to be followed by six for
the Democrats. The Central states
of Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and
Michigan have seventeen Repub-
liean majority i'll congress that has
been transformed into twenty-three
majority for the Democrats. In the
Northwestern states east of the mount
aims the Republicans have lost their
thirty-four majority, and are in the
minority. The flood took in all the
country this side of the mountains, and
has reduced to absurdity any sectional
lmputalon as to the Democrats.

Beginning OF Evictions on the
Olphert Estate.

DUBLIN, Nov. 1.-THE threatened
evictions on the Olphert estate were
begun at ArdsGurg this morning. A
fierce storm had ragged all night. and the
work of eviction was begun under a
cloudy sky, the gloomy weather
adding to the wretchedness of
the scene. 1t was thought
some of the tenants might resist the
evIctors, and force Of Heavily armed
policemen was on the ground to meet
such an emergency. Sixteen families,
comprising 1G0 persons, were elected
from their homes. During a squabble
MIR. O'Neill, member of parliament, put
a chalk mark on policeman's arm as
means of Identification. He warned the
others that he would similarly mark all
who should be guilty of misbehavior,
this being the only way to identify the
men as long as the authorities declined
to make them wear badges. A number
of English visitors. including several
ladies', witnessed the evictions, and
afterward held an Indignation meeting,
at which the action of the owner OF the
estate was r0undly denounced. The
bishop of Raphoe arrived at Ardsburg
III the afternoon for the purpose of
assisting tie evicted families.

Another Letter Stating That
BiPchall Is Innocent.

WOODSTOCK, Ont, Nov. 11.-Another
letter concerning the BenwelI murder
has been received. The handwriting is
pinched and unlike that of BirchalPs.
1t is signed by J. 3. LitchfeId and is
dated Buffalo. There is no such name
in the Buffalo directory. In effect the
letter says:
I have waited to give Birchall his last
chance to defend himself from the death
that low awaits him, for the crime of which
he is Innocent. | am a member of the con
splracy who dealt with moneyed English
men who were brought out here 10 be robbed
OF their wealth. and we also had an office in
Corn Hill, London, until the arrest OF
Birchall.
The letter then goes on to say that this
scheme was in working order previous
to Birchall's coming to this country. and
that four of his party were at the swamp
when Benwell aud Birchall came along
on Feb. I. They met them and tried to
induce BenWeil to swear to assist them
in the business or he would be killed.
''Benwell would not listen. and VIC shot
him au1 cut his name from his clothing.
We then told Birchall to get ont of the coun-
try, ana gave him what articles we had taken
from Benweh. We told Birchall we had
chloroformed Benwell and he did not know
he had been murdered" The writer says:
AS sure as Birc1all dies. not one board shall
be left of the buildings of the jurynen who
sent him there; We have Judge Mcmahon
spotted and, should we have 10 wreck 4 train
to murder him, we will. and we hereby notify
him OF the death awaiting, and the jurymen
also. If Birch0!l be hung, it will make two
men executed for our deeds besides one
undergoing life imprisonment.
Blrchall continues to protest his in
nocence of the actual Staying of Ben
well and says the mystery in which the
tragedy is enshrouded will be cleared
up before long. he believes that Ben
Wells watch will yet be found. and he
volunteers the Information that the
murdered man was not killed where he
was found.
