republican majority, 6.
DEMOCRAT, Kokomo: Sugar has not been

democratic presidential ticket since 1875.
The only conspicuous followers whom
Governor HILL has are protectionists. He
is, in word, the protectionist candidate
for the democratic nomination.
The logic of events will make the tariff
question the commanding issue in the
presidential campaign of 1892. The DEM
ocratic position upon that question is well
defined. The democratic party is for
tariff for revenue only-that is to say, for
Gree trade" in the sense that the term is
applied to the revenue policy of Great
Britain, in which it is commonly used in
this country and in which it is employed
by Governor Hill. Governor HILL pro-
nounces this policy suicidal" and de-
clares that he cannot consistently attend
n meeting called to promote it. In other
words, the governor publicly repudiates
the position of his party upon the most
important question OF the day.
In the face of this letter no genuine
democrat will hereafter be found advocat-
ing DAVID b. Hills nomination for either
the first or second place on the presi-
Dental ticket of 1892. Senator VOORHEES,
will, we are sure, be quick to see that lie
has been mistaken in the man, and that
Governor HILL is entirely unavailable as
presidential or presidential timber, SO
long. at least, as the tariff is the dominat-
ing issue in our politics. Senator VOoR-
HE'S speeches in the senate and on the
stump during the last two years stamp
him as the determined and uncomproms-
ing enemy OF protection in every shape and
form; and he cannot, without stultifying
himself and compromising the democracy
OF Indiana, ask recognition from his party
in national caDacity for DAVID B. HILL
or any other protectionist

ern states to have $1,3OO,OOO,OOO on de-
posit in their savings banks on Jan. last.
It would appear from this that the
old law only applied to New England,
New York, New Jersey and Pennsyl-
vania. We had supposed that it applied
to the entire country, but it appears We
were mistaken. Come to think of it, we
have often heard it claimed that the old
law was passed for the sole benefit OF the
New England and middle states, but we
have never before known this to be as
serted by a McKinleyite. Itwould ap-
pear from what Mr.. CHEADLE says that,
whereas the cd law applied only to nine
states in the northeastern part of the
country, the new law applies to the en-
tire nation. This is change to which, we
believe, public attention has not been be-
fore directed. 1t is also an unavoidable
inference from Mr.. CHEADLE's statement
that the people OF the nine states referred
to never had savings or savings banks be-
fore they got the old law, and that in
other states and counties where the ''old
law" has not been in force the working
men save no money and there are no saw
ings banks. This would be very interest
ing and highly important, and, indeed, alb
solutely conclusive, but for one thing. 1t
isn't true. 1t lis absolutely without foun-
dation.
We are glad to believe that Mr. CHEADLE
is not such an ass as he writes himself
down.

The BilIion-Dollar Congress.

Ex-senator JOHN B. HENDERSON of Mis-
souri,. who was chairman of the republican
national convention in 1884. and has lately
been before the country as one of BLAINE's
Pan-Americans, recently said:
As a republican, think the extrava-
gance of the congress just adjourned was
an outrage upon the party and the peo-
pie. However the appropriations may
he justified. the fact that they reach
81, O0o,000,000 is OF itself appalling. No
such enormity of appropriations has been
voted since the war, and, occurring in a
time OF profound peace as this is and
when the greatest economy was de-
manded, no excuse can be offered for the
extravaganza. The republicans in con-
gress must have proceeded upon the
theory that they were not coming into
power again for about four hundred years.
Their closing DAYS reminded me very
forcibly OF the closing days of the demo-
cratic congress which went out March J.,
1861. As a republican, / feel that the COM
parison is odious. but in most respects il
Ia just. i hope that il we have another
republican congress soon il will devote
itself to methods OF economy different
from those observed by the Fifty. first con-
gress.

Tribune, '.has said anything stouter than

THERE is a well-defned split in the re-
publican party on the tariff question.
MCKINLEY and his faction insist upon
keeping the high tariff idea to the front
and making the fight on it in 1892.
BLAINE and HARRISON. on the other hand,
propose to relegate this idea to the rear
and work the reciprocity racket for call it
is worth" in the next campaign. 1t is
significant that in his recent speeches in
New England MCKINLEY didn't make the
most distant allusion to reciprocity, while
President HARRISON, in his late author
lied interview" declared that the tariff
discussion ought to be suspended for a
few years. MCKINLEY will be the repub-
Hcan candidate for governor of Ohio this
year and his nomination will necessarily
make McKinleyism an issue of the cam
paign. If he wins-of which there is
small prospect-he will be a full-fedged
candidate for the presidential nomination
of his party. All the elements opposed to
HARRISON will doubtless center on him
and there will be a red hot" contest
within the party. HARRISON will capture
the nomination, of course, and thus Nc
Kinleyism will be virtually repudiated by
the 2. o. p.

NORTH SLIGO follows Kilkenny with a
verdict against PtRNELL. After a vigorous
campaign the McCarthyite candidate has
been returned 10 parliament by majority
of 500. The Irish people are clearly
against their old leader. They stood by
him faithfully so long as he was true to
the nationalist cause, and even after he
had betrayed it they were slow to desert
him. But his treachery is now apparent
to ALL and he can no longer be leader in
the great contest for home rule The Irish
people found themselves compelled to
choose between PARNELL and their cause,
and with wise patriotism they have chosen
the cause. PARNELL's day is over. His
faction will rapidly dwindle in numbers
from this day forward. Soon he will have
only handful of followers. The wreck
ing of his great career is inexpressibly pa
thetic. We believe, as we have before
said, that it is to be explained by an i'm
pairment of Mr.. PARNELL's mental facul-
ties. This. at least, is the charitable view,
and there is much to make it plausible.

CHINESE merchants in San Francisco
have protested against the appointment Of
ex-senator BLAIR as minister TO Pekin.
Mr.. BLAIR is on record to The effect that
the Chinese are to be regarded as myste-
rious dispensations OF an inscrutable
providence, like the yellow fever and the
smallpox, and to be treated accordingly.
His appointment was an insult to the Chi
nese government, and refusal to receive
him would be just rebuke to the admin
istration at Washington.

the coinage by the government, free of
charge, OF all silver bullion taken to the
mint into dollars of the standard weight
(4121 grains, $40 fne). By "limited

purchased by the government for that
purpose up to a certain limit. Under I'M
