Senator Vest ON the Result.

Senator Geo. e. Vest, who will be
elected ut the coming session of the
Missouri Legislature to succeed
himself in the United States Senate,
says:
"The lesson -of-the-r -recent-eleet--
ion is simply that the American
people will not tolerate any politi-
cal party that will pass such an out
rageously unjust measure as the Nc
Kinley bill. After the defeato of Mr..
Cleveland in 1888, the Republicans
concluded that the people would
submit to any increase in the tariff.
1t was the rule for the Republican
leaders to refuse to discuss the cbed-
ule of the Mckinley bill, simply
saying that the people had given
their verdict for such increased du-
tics as the party leaders saw fit to
make. The idea was that the de-
feat of Cleveland meant the endorse
ment of the Chicago platform writ
ten by Mckinley, on which Harri-
son was elected, declaring for tar
iff high enough to exclude all for
eign products In plain Language,
the Republicans had severe attack
of the big head and thought they.
could do as they pleased. This eli
ection is the result" ~" a"i'-
Senator Vest then outlined what
he thought the Democratic party
should do. He said: tDd z15lI
"The Democratic party should
proceed deliberately and cautiously
to attack the outrageous taxation
of the Mckinley bill by tho enact
ment by the next House of special
bills. These bills should be sent to
the Senate and let the Republicans
there take the responsibility of de-
.feating them, if they dare. Nogen-
eral tariff bill should be passed, =
Let the House put salt, lumber and
other articles, on the free list by
special bills and then let the Repub-
lican Senate wrestle with them"
In concluding a lengthy inter-
view, he said: - 'iiag i'sa
Z ''If our party does not catch the
same disease which destroyed the
power of the Republicans, we will
elect the next President, and in a
few years control the Senate. We
must convince the people OF the
United States that we do not pro-
pose to injure the interests of any
class, but that we are simply attack
ing the unjust and unequal legisla-
ton which has created partner
ship between certain favored class
es and the government at the ex-
pense of tho tax payers. The Dem
ocratic party is right on the tariff
question beyond all doubt, and that
the people are fast learning this is
shown by the result of the late
elections all over the country" ip

There comes vigorous and fierce
demand from number of Republi-
can leaders for the resignation of
Mr.. Quay as chairman of the Nati-
onal Republican committee be1ause
of his dishonesty. Mr.. Quay is no
less public thief and corruptionist
now than he was before the election.
He has merely been defeated in
Pennsylvania. He was very good
man in the estimation of President
Harrison and his political household
as long as he was successful in poll
tics. He had 'the ear of the ad-
ministration," said Mr.. Russell Har-
rison. He was the trusted aud re-
spected leader and law glyer of the
party, and he was consulted and de-
fered to In the consideration and
disposition of important questions
relating to the policy of the admin
istratiOp, but now that his influence
in politics is destroyed, be is TO be
thrown overheard and painted a
very bad man. IL is singular that
Quay's criminal operations were
not known TO the administration
and other Republican leaders before
the election. Had he been success-
full in Pennsylvania he wonld still
have "the ear of the administration, $
and be hailed as the general dicta-
tor of the Republican party. 70

Democrats gain United States
senator in New York, one in Illi-

Michigan. Opposition to the re-
pubIicans have captured the legisla-
lures of Kansas, Nebraska, New
Hampshire and many other states.
II is therefore quite probable that
the next senate of the United States
will not have majority of republi-

A PLATE GLASS SYNDICATE.
Englishmen EndeavOring to Control
the Principal American Factories.

John Pitcairn OF the Pittsburg Plate Glass
Company is in England negotiating for the
close of options on all the plate glass concerns
In the United States. The syndicate interested
in the deal is headed by Pilkington Bros. the
extensive plate glass manufacturers of St
Helens, England, who for many years did an
enormous business in this country. and until
recently had branch house in New York.
The plants which it is intended to secure are
nine in number. Two at Ellerton, Ind and
Charleroi, Pa, are not yet in operation. Three
are owned by the Pittsburg Plate Glass Com
pany, which is largely interested in the syndi-
cate project. The others are at Butler. Pa,
Crystal City. No., kokomo and New Albany,
Ind. They have an output approximating u.s.
000, 900 feet year.
Until few years ago nearly all of the plate
glass used In America was imported and sold at
about 81. so foot; now the home manufacture
has grown to such a degree that importations
have ceased almost completely and the price
has come down to IS to 80 cents foot, accord
ing to trade.
The business has assumed enormous propor-
lions and the profits of the Pittsburg concern
alone are not far from $1,000, 900 year. Be-
sides seeking control of existing factories, the
Englishmen have also joined in the erection of
new plant at Irwin, Pa, for which site was
secured on Monday. Irwin is about IS miles
from Pittsburg on the Pennsylvania railroads
main line. This plant will be the largest of the
kind in the world and its erection Is necessary
to supply the demand for plate glass.

ANOTHER COLORED ORATOR.
Mr.. Dubois Makes Striking Speech
at Harvard's Commencement.

Wednesday at Harvard's commencement q
on class day, a representative of the negro race
took prominent and creditable part in the
public literary exercises Of the day. This was
William Edward Burghardt Dubois, who was
one Of the commencement day speakers from
the graduating class. He was warmly gree ted.
His subject was Jefferson Davis as a Repre-
sentative of Civilization" He spoke first Of
Davis as a man, paying a warm tribute to hin
as a noble example Of the Teutonic type of
civilization. But" he said, at is not a man,
but only as a type, that he must be considered
He was a brave man and a noble warrior, but
he was morally obtuse. The Teuton met the
negro not as a warrior, but a cringing slave, and
crushed him; the Teuton met civilization and
was crushed. The Teuton stands today as the
champion Of the idea of personal assertion; the
negro as the peculiar embodiment Of the idea
of personal submission.
Either alone tends to an abnormal develop
ment toward despotism, on the one hand,
which the world has just cause to fear and YET
covertiy admires; or toward slavery, on the
other hand, which the world despises and
how great and striking the Teutonic type Of
impetuous manhood may be il must receive
the cool, purposeful Ich Diem Of the
African for its round and full develop
ment. In the rise, then, Of negro people and
DEVELOPMENT of this idea you, whose nation
was founded the Hottest ideals and who
many times forgot those ideals with a strange
forgetfulness, have more than a sentimental
interest, more than a sentimental duty. You
owe a debt to humanity for this Ethiopia Of
the outstretched arm who has made her beauty
patience and her grandeur law"
