BLAINE FOR 1892.

From the Globe Democrat.
The elections Just held clear the politi-
cal atmosphere of all doubt and specula-
ton regarding the chances in the Repub-
lican National convention of 1892, and
bring one figure clsarly and conspicu-
Ously into the foreground. The figure
referred to is that of James q. Blaine.
1t would be vain as well as senseless to
DENY the tide. for the time being at least,
has turned against the Republicans. The
reverses which have been suffered are
not confined to any one state or section,
and cannot be explained by the opera
ton of any local influence or tendencies.
They were met with on the Atlantic sea-
board as well as on the Pacific slope, and
were felt in the northern section of the
Mississippi valley as well as in the great
tier of commonwealth which, in the
old sectional nomenclature, were called
the border states. The causes of this
condition of things must necessarily be
as general as the field of
their manifestation Is varied
and widespread. While several
agencies have been actively at work in
bringing about the Republican defeat.

The elections mark new era IN tariff

MANY LETTERS.

The editor of the EAGLE is being flood

Democrats, and Republicans who endorse
the course Of the EAGLE since the cleo

THE AMERICAN HESSIAN.

From the Seattle Journal.
Periodically the time comes around
for Carl SchurZ to use his political d TX
knife on the party which committed the
great sin of lifting him from obscurity
into prominence. His only public rec
ognition, not of a time-servinC quality,
has been given him 10y the Republican
party. The only public hOnors he ever
held were bestowed by Republican hands.
President Lincoln gave him his first
start. in 1861, 10y an appointment as
minister TO Spain. He repaid the party
which made him United States senator
from Missouri by throwing mud at the
Grant administration and presiding over
that mongrel crowd of reform sOre-heads
which nominated Horace Greeley for the
white house in 1912.

and a voice Choked with penitential
emotion. he took the stump for HAYES

from the patronage trough before the
angels OF reform began Tapping their
wings again about his bedside, and, in
1884. surchanged with another mission

we find him carrying Democratic lance
for Cleveland.
But. as no fat sirloin was placed on
Carts plate by the victorious Grover, he
promptly began To feel the pangs of
hunger and fed his appetite on Demo
cratic violations Of civil service reform.

The Topeka Democrat asks what is
going to become of Topeka now with an
overwhelming farmer Legislature. Sure
enough, what viii become of her? The
Democrat says that Topeka must have
recognition this winter. We guess that
there is no must in the case. Topeka
has not failed of recognition regularly
for thirty years, and we guess she will
have TO get along on her own resources

40 600 Democratic votes. They claim,
and are conceded 100000 votes in the
state, which shows that they lost to the
Alliance not less than e0, 600 votes in the
state, or more than half the total vote
that following polled.
The movement has been repeatedly and
oft exposed as Democratic scheme TO de-
feat the Republican party. The forego-
ing analysis of the vote polled Tuesday
clearly proves it; but it also proves that
the scheme over did what it was cal
culated TO accomplish in this state, as
well as everywhere else.

A Great Scheme
Froan &c MarysvllIe News.


Lending money by the government on
land Is one of the finest schemes yet
heard Of. For instance, man has 100
acres Of land, he borrows Of Uncle Sam
s.. 900, interest payable annually. when
the interest becomes due the man re-
fuses to pay it, Uncle Sam forecloses and
sells him out. no bids, Uncle Sam buys il
in. 1t is then government land. The
man who lives on the land is the original
squatter, he Immediately homestetd s the
land as soon a. be perfects his title he
demands and gets another loan. The
selling ont and homestead act Is re-en-
acted. Great scheme.

EXCHANGE SHOTS.
One of the Causes.


From the State Journal.
Probably one of the most potent in
fuences that brought defeat to the Re
publicans in this state was the shameless
abuse and vituperation heaped upon the
characters of the leaders of the Opposi-
ton, in leading party organs. This is
the worst kind of campaign powder in
these times. People tire of it, and gen
orally believe the stories lies. This sort
of abuse solidified the Alliances and
Peoples party and they planted them
selves firmly, stubbornly, immovably.
They resented insults flung at them in
the heat of the campaign and they re-
scented them in the most forclble way
possible in our republican form of gov
ernmeut-by votes which counted.

AN AGRICULTURAL HINT FROM
GLADSTONE.

Washington GLADDEN. in November Forum:
A few years ago Mr.. Gladstone, speak
ing TO the farmers in the Scotch district
where agriculture was greatly depressed,
asked them why they did not try the pro-
ductiOn of jam for the city markets. He
pointed out that the small fruit from
which this luxury could be compounded
would grow well in their soil, and that
for such goods there was always a mar
ket. The tory editors laughed at Mr..
Gladstone's kitchen economy, but the
Scotch farmers took the matter seriously
and have found their profit in it. 4
large and productive industry has
sprung from the old statesman's sugges-
ton. 1t is along some such lines as these
that the farmers will most
surely draw TO themselves a
larger share of the surplus wealth of
the country. That surplus is abundant,
but all sorts Of people with keen wits
and strenuous energies are competing for
it. Those who have it are ready to eX-
change it for qualifications of various
sorts. The problem is TO please them.
Within the bounds of innocent and
wholesome delecTation there is wide
range for the exercise of invention by
the food producers of the nation. If
they confine themselves TO the business
of raising corn and wheat, and pork and
beef, their market will be narrow; they
can widen it almost indefinitely. if they
will devote to their business the same
kind of ingenuity that manufacturers of
all classes are constantly exercising IN
their efforts to attract t. their own cofT-
ers the abundance of the land.

If the Alliance really has the legisla-
ture we would respectfully suggest to
them, as we have often to our own party,
that high salaries are the principal
source of corruption in politics, and that
if they would see the unseemly scramble
for office done away with, they must cut
salaries down TO clerical basis.

THE EARLY NECESSITY Or IMPORT
ING FOOD.

C. Wood Davis in the November Forum.
With a population of 64,000,000 and
with an area in cereals, hay, potatoes
and tobacco, estimated at 3.01 acres per
capita, exclusive Of the area in cotton
and. excluding six per cent. as the pr
portion of such products exported-we
find that domestic consumption equals
the product of 2.S4 acres per capita, and
that the area dev@ttSSIi. to the growth of
such articles for export would furnish
substance for 400, 900 people. In
other words an addition of 4,100,00 to
the population would, aside from the
cotton exported, absorb the entire pro-
duct of our farms. The product of the
fields of America will, in 1895, be no
more than sufficient TO maintain the
-. 600, 900 who will then inhabit the
land. Granting that our estimates of
the area now under cultivation, and of
the proportion of products exported are
correct, the probabilities are that the
American agriculture, with acreage
yields increasing slowly, will continue
for years to supply the world with two
fifths of its cotton: but that it cannot.
after 1895, provide for home needs and
furnish aught but cotton for export. The
cessation of the expectation of food will
be Immediately followed by imports of
breadstuff, and in the very improbable
event that there shall then exist supplies
of grains sufficient to meet the urgent
demands of Europe, of America, and of
the tropics, such imports will augment,
from year to year, in nearly the ratio of
the increase of population.

TOM-FOOL NONSENSE.

From the Kansa Chief.
"PER CENT. WHAT is the meaning of
this stuff about per cent, connected with
the census returns? Every table of fig
ures is accompanied with the statement
that the increase or decrease is so much
per cent. What does it signify? We
know the meaning of the term, but what
sense is there in it. for any practical in
formation! For instance, New York city
contains 100000 inhabitants, which is
set down as an increase of fifty per cent
Some little town in the west, that had
perhaps 100 inhabitants in 1880, now con-
tains 900, and the increase is stated at
1000 per cent. This would show that
the little western hamlet enjoyed five
hundred times the prosperity of New
York city, although the former is still
an Insignificant village, and New York
city has had an increase sufficient to
populate two states. Per cent. applied
to censcs returns is nOnsense-especially
census that has been so blotched and
imperfect, so crippled and burdened with
fool statistics, rendered so Inefficient by
red-tape and mismanagement, as the
recent one was.
