NEXT to the DemC ora, l. tidal wave,
says the e incinnsti Inquirer, the Eost
astonishing feature of the recent slec-
tions Was the wonderful strength dsa
vsloped by the new farmers party In the
western states. From the most reliable
and latest reports the peoples party
wipes out 81, 0Oo Republican majority
in Ksnsss, elected its State ticket over
Republicans and Democrats, cArrisd
FIVE Of the seven Congressman, and a
majority on joint ballot In the Legisla-
tue. The Alliance also accomplished
wonders iG Nebraska. South Dakota
and Minnesota. Nearly all the Con-
gressman elected on the DeMocrstic
ticket in Alabama, Georgia, North and
South Carolina are members OF the farm
ers' Alliance, snd pledged TO advocate
its principles. The new party stands
with ths Democracy az free silver and
low taxation. 1t Is probable that at
least thirty-fiye msmbers or tbs next
House are members OF the Farmers
Alliance, although only eight-fve In
Kansas and one in Minnesota and two
in Nebraska were elected in opposi-
tion to the candidate OF both the old
parties. No industrial political move
msnt has developed SO much strength
in SO short time as the Farmers Alli-
snce. 1t is quite probable that it will
dictate the United States Senators to be
elected in Illinois, Kansas and South
Dakota.

Harrison Ii Jealous OF Blain6

WAsHINGToN,.D ID. g., Noy. 16.-An
Indiana politician who used to be on
terms OF intimacy with President Hare
risOn. but who does not 60 to the White
House as frequently as in days gone by,
said to day that the President was get
ting to Se jealous OF his Secretary of
State, and i. would not be surprising If
there should be rupture between thsm
a. any time.
'"There Is no doubt" he added, "that
the President is intensely jealous of
Blaine, and those who are near enough
to know, havs seen this jealousy sxhib-
tied on more than one occasion. The
cause Of this fssliDg is right at hand.
Since the election the Republican papers
pretty generally have talked abou:
Blaine as being the Moses of the party
and ths only man on whom they have
TO rely TO Lead them to Victory two years
hence.
''This is not very pleasant reading for
| man Ike Harrison, Who is by nature
suspicious and who. in addition, is very
anxious for rsnomlnstion. He has an
! exalted idea of bis position, and he re-
CARDS it as highly improper that 8 mem
| Der of the Cabinet should occupy more
| attention in the eyes OF the public than
| he does. All this is leading to q very
| strained state OF things between the
| two, and either Blnine will semi- of1ici-
| ally announce that he Ia not a can
didate for the nomination iD 1872 or else
he will have to leave the Cabinet"

If there is any sease or reason, says
che Boston Globe. in sllo wing a defeat
ed and condemned Congress to go on
and legisIate for three months after the
people have repudIsted it, we should
like to have it explained. We see no
sense in 1t. The Congress elected q
week ago could assemble in Washing>

as the old Congress can. II would be
flesh from the people, prepared to do

graced and discredited, with the stamp
of the peoples condemnation upon IL.
Some member of Congress ought to

GENERAL MASTER WORKMAN Pew.
Derby, OF the Knights of Labor.
makes good suggestion in his annual
report, which was read at the general
assembly of that order ID session at
Denver. 1t relates to the tariff quss,
tion.
I'VE should" says Powdsrly, throw
open the doors of our assemblies for the
discussion of this great problem, SO that
our msmbeTs may become educated in
the basic principles of protection and
free trade. While we do not allow the
question inside our sanctuaIies, our
members are asked every four years in
the United States and every FIVE years
or eftsner ID Canada to register their
votes eithsr in favor or against protec-
tion. Ny recommendation is that on
and after the 1st day OF January, 1891, d,
it shall be permissible for local assem-
blies to discuss the question of high
tariff and free trade"
By free trade Mr.. Povderly Of course
means tariff for revenus only. His
suggestions will Certainly meet with the
approval OF the tariff reformers In the
land, for well they know that every mah
who gives the matter his honest thought
is bound TO conclude that there is nc
justification for taxing the great mass
of the people for the benefit of few.
By all means turn on the light on lhe
tariff question.

The Pittsburg Post ssys: The Quay

Philadelphia in behalf of the Republi-
CAD State and cauntv tickets, and one
half of this sum was expended on cleo
