ISSUES OF THEFALL ELECTIONS.


A number of States in the North
and West hold elections for congress
men this fall and in the political COM
plexion of the representatives chosen
the people can and will speak out on
the issues now agitating the country
The great overshadowing question
will be as usual the tariff. If the
voters desire continuance of the
tariff robbery, if they are satisfied with
the principles of the Mckinley bill
pronounced infamous by so good a
Republican as james G. Blaine him.
sell, they can return Republican rep
resentatives, and if nay, Democrats.
Another issue on which the people
are called upon to express themselves
IL the Force bill which, in reality
involves their liberties and the ques-
ton of erecting over them a practica
military despotism. If the principles
of this infamous measure suits them
if they are willing for the change o
form of government which is the
intention and will be the ultimate
effect of such law, they can deposi
their ballots for the Republican can
didates.
If, on the contrary, they wish to re
tain intact the liberties handed dowr
to them by the founders of the gov
eminent, they can vote for the Demo.
Gratis and send up representatives o
that party.
Still another issue presents itself TO
approval or disapproval. 1t is tn,
reckless extravaganza of the Republi
cans since their return to power, thei
creation of a fifty million deficit to b.
saddled on the taxpayers of the coun-
try next year. If the people wish thi
sluandering and wasting of thei
money to continue, they can vote TO
Republican representatives. But i
they desire economy and wise man
agement of the revenues Is was tEC
case under the Cleveland administra
ton they can return Democratic mem
bers.
1t is for the people themselves tc
say how they want these issues set
tied, and they can say it in the fal
elections.

The Philadelphia Record is putting
in some telling blows right under the
belt where they do the most good. To
the farmers of Pennsylvania it says
"The present delegation in congress
from the State of Pennsylvania con-
tains twenty-one Republicans and
seven Democrats. When these
twenty-one Republicans shall come
stumping among you this fall, and
shall tell you that the Mckinley
tariff bill was devised to better your
condition, you should reply:
"There is not q section or line in
the entire bill that will open a
market for another bushel of wheat
or another barrel of pork
"And if they want to know your au-
thority for that statement you can
tell them it is James G. Blaine, the
chief apostle OF protection and the sec
rotary of state of the administration"
And again in the same issue it says
"The st. Louis Globe Democrat, one
of the leading Republican newspapers
in the West, declares that in 1888 'the
promise OF the party was to protect
home labor, not by subsidizing special
interests, but by cheapening the cost
of living and making the tariff as low
as possible In its indignation at the
failure of its party to live up to its
promises the Globe-Democra declares
that Cleveland would now be presi,
dent if there had been any hint Of
higher tariff legislation as result Of
Republican success. This truth is
late in the telling, but it throws new
light on the exceeding anxiety to pass
the Mckinley bill before the pressure
against it in the West shall have be.

BECAUSE OF the silent hush that
pours thunderously from the editorial
sanctum of the News, we must take
this answer by the Fort Worth Ga
zette as full explanation. The Ga
zette says: "The AUSTIN STATESMAN
wants to know why the DC. News
makes such fuss about the com
mission amendment if it does moth
ing and amounts ito nothing The
STATESMAN forgets, perhaps, that the
News has special talent for much
ado about nothing which it cannot
resist"

DEMoCRACY's TICKET.

The Democratic ticket, State, con-
gressional, district and county, is pub
lished in full in this issue and will
daily appear at the head of the edi-
torial column for the remainder OF
the campaign. Read it from top to
bottom and answer; is it not a first
class ticket in every respect? ls 1t
not such ticket as the Democracy
will have cause to be proud OF? The
great danger with the Democratic
party of Texas is that, because of its
overwhelming majority and conse'
quent certainty of victory, no matter
what it's platform and who its nomi-
nees, it may grow careless
as to its platforms and
nominees. Such carelessness has
not been shown in the framing Of
the present platform and the nomina-
ton of its present candidates. That
platform is made of sturdy planks in
which there is no giving way, and the
nominees are men OF sterling ability
and integrity to whose keeping can
safely be entrusted the conduct of the
governmental affairs of the people.
You have seen the platform repeatedly
in print and know its every plank.
Now scan carefully the names of the
leaders of the Democratic hosts and
commit those names to memory, to
the end that in November 100000
more tickets bearing upon their face
those names, shall be deposited in the
ballot box, than can be found OF tickets
representing every other political
party arrayed against Democracy.

FREEPoHE, L. l., April 3.-The steamer
Panama of La Rochelle, France, bound from
Bordeaux for New York with general cargo,
largely wines, went aground on the outer bar
OF East Short beach about O'Clock this
morning. There was light fog at the time
and it is supposed the captains bearings were
wrong. The steamer lies easy. She is
headed northeast. The Merritt Wrecking
company's steamer Rescue arrived this after-
noon and she will probably get the steamer
off at the first high tide. No one has left
the Panama since she went ashore. There
are no passengers on board as far as known.
