TO RECONSIDER.

1t seems to be the expresse d wish OF
a few time-serving Republicans that
the Mckinley bill, which is the confess
sed cause for our defeat, should be re-
considered during the winter session of
Congress, and amended in such man.
ner as to reinstate the party once more
in the graces of the People. The char
latanism of such conduct is too evident
to commend itself to any candid per-
son. Before the election we supported
the bill and the party which represent.
ed it because we felt confident that it
was well-intentioned effort towards
establishing the country's welfare, and
wise measure. Without doubt this
was the belief of every leading Repub-
lican. But now that the party has suf.
fered temporary defeat because of a
too hasty judgment of the bills efiici.
ency, some milk-and-water Republicans
such as are represented by the Port
Huron Times, are heard uttering pit
iful squeakings about how the bill
should be "reconsidered" while it is
within the power of the party to do So
Thanks to the sterling honesty which
has always inspired our leaders, they
have no such thoughts. The Republi'
can party has confded itself to a sys.
tenn of tariff reform which it believes
is for the best good Of the country; and
is prepared to stand or fall with 1t.
This system was established by some OF
the greatest acknowledged statesmen
of the age. The Democratic party can
show no such an array Of intellectual
men outside of the south. These men
have made this subject life-study; and
may Justly assume to know what viii
work ultimately for the good OF
the country. That the people with
their limited knowledge should be cal
led upon to adjudge measure OF such
far-reaching import after a three
weeks trial is conspicuously ridiculous
The fact stands as ever. The measure
is good one. 1t was pre-judged In
the last election; and the Republican
party should stand by it until 1t con.

MONTANA, OREGON AND WASHING.

The Northern Pacific Railroad passing through
Minnesota, Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Oregon and
Washington was the first line to bring the region
occupied by these states into communication with
the east. Its main line and branches penetrate all
sections OF these states reaching nine-tenths OF
the chief cities. II is the short route to Helena
and Butte, Mont, Spokane Falls, Tacoma and Sc
ate, Wash, Portland, Ore. and the only line run
ming through train service from the east through
the states of Montana and Washington. Pullman
Sleepers and furnished Tourist Sleeping Cars are
run via. the Wisconsin Central and Northern Pa
cifc. and Pullman Palace Sleeping Cars via.
Chicago, Milwaukee Il st. Paul and Northern Pa
citic, from Chicago through to the Pacific coast
without change. This Is the Dining Car and Vel
lowstOne Park route.
The large travel OH the Northern Pacific line
necessitated the Inauguration IN June 1890, OF
second through train TO the Pacific coast, thus en-
ablng this road to offer to the public the advant
points in the Pacific Northwest, carrying COM
pete service of sleeping cars, dining cars and
regular day coaches. The train leaving st. Paul
In the morning runs VIA the recently completed
Air Line of the Northern Pacific thrOughs Butte.
Mont, making this shortest line to the latter
point by 100 miles.
COOnists for Washington. Oregon and British
Columbia points should take no other line than
the Northern Pacific, as by this line only, can all
portions OF Washington be seen. St0p-overs are
allowed at Spokane Falls and all points west, en-
ablng settlers to inspect the country without eX-
ira expense.

A VICTORY IN DEFEAT.

1t has ever been to the praise of our
constitution that it combines to won
derful degree the stability of a mon
archy with the freedom of demOcra-
cy, eluding the evils of each. A policy
established can not be reversed in day;
yet our lawmakers are the creatures of
the voter and are to so great an extent
directly amenable to him that their act
ions must be most guarded. This sta
bility is maintained alone by the pecul-
lar makeup of the Senate. 1t takes the
place of England's House of Lords; and
was established in lieu of it. Still it is
a more powerful institution than that
because it is free from the evils of her
edity, and is respondent to the will of
the people. That it is made up of a
higher order of intellect must be evil
dent to every student of history. The
peculiar manner of its choice alone has
freed it from the fickleness of the pop
ular vote and made the honor prize
for intellect. by this institution the
country is now guarded against revo-
luton in financial circles. Were il not
for this we might soon be completely
without tariff law. or at the mercy of
the old one which all are agreed was a
crying injustice. The Mckinley bill
now must stand. and either prove or
disprove itself. There is hardly a pos
sibility of its appeal. And the Repub-
lican party stands victorious still; not
to be defeated by the passing belief of
moment. For we are thoroughly con-
WINGED that this bill will prove as
great a blessing as the Morrell bill was
in its time, and this was as cordially
hated and fiercely opposed. 1t is
a tarif-reform measure in a. true sense.
1t makes the greatest reduction in tar
if taxation ever offered to the Amer
lean people. 1t will bring to this coun-
try. during the period of its enactment
millions of capital. 1t was framed to
benefit the laborer, and he will be the
one to support the measure when he
has seen its true working.

FOR WHAT IT STANDS.

This year the Republican party has
been defeated in every issue it avowed.
Almost without exception it proclaim
ed itself in favor of the right. And al
most without exception it was defeat
ed on that very issue. The case of
Pennsylvania may be perhaps the only
exception. But there 1t was not the
Republican party that was defeated
but Quay and his gang: corrupt &C
erection to the party, which was not in
sympathy with its precepts, but avow-
ed it for political preferment. These
cowardly mercinaries are always the
first to retreat under fire; and if the
party is rid of them it can but congrat-
ulate itself. In Illinois and WiscOn-
sin, however, our discontinue reveals
a very different phase. The Republi-
can party in these states valiantly dis
played its cOlOrs for AmericdniSm; not
for Catholicism, nor for Lutheranism
The Republican legislatures in those
states had passed laws requiring that
English be taught in all schools a COM
paratively small proportion of the time.
The German Lutherans and Catholics
rose against it to a man under the lead
ership Of their priests. as if it were a
stroke at their personal freedom. The
Democratic party there had enough of
shrewdness to see where it could gain
power, but too little self-esteem and
patriotism to escape the avowal of a
cause that is a treason to our institut-
ions. BY the undivided assistance of
these foreigners, who have no sympa-
thy with our national policy. they gam
ed the states and placed charlatans in
seats OF honor. The Republican party
was defeated for no other reason than
because it insisted upon one of the first
principles upon which our government
was founded. The English language
has been established in this country
since its first settlement. This very
fact sanctifies it before the law. More
over every word in law or ordinance is
written in Engli sh, and every institu-
ton has upon it the English stamp.
Therefore, for any one to appreciate
them or to grow into sympathy with
them it is absolutely necessary that he
understand the English language. The
greatest danger that threatens our
country is this overwhelming flood of
foreign immigration, which our laws al
low us for sentimental reasons to swal-
low whole and unassimilated. These
people generally believe they can come
here and build up little Ireland, or
Germany, or Sweden. They would
have no language but their own; and
would learn nothing of our institutions
although their votes count as much
and sometimes more than ours d.. 1t
is against this un-American policy that
the Republican party stands; and, by
the way, the defeat in Massachusetts,
also was due to the same cause: an in
rushing flood of foreigners. They iden-
tify the Republican party with the gov
eminent. and beyond that ask no ques-
tiOns. They have been brought up to
hate governments, and bring their
old prejudices with them. In truth we
welcome the oppressed foreigner" who
will sympathize with us and work for
us; but these 0ndrchiStic tendencies
must be crushed.
