Tor his arrest, remarking when she pro-
cured the document that she could no

WAS not to blame and that his spouse
aggravated him 20 such an extent that

that free silver was not an issue, SO tnat ne
at least Is estopped from ciaimihk Sna. -
declared for the Republicans Oh any'nihs
but the tariff issue.
Judged according to the ante. election dec
larations of the Democrats, the result In
Ohio Is far more important than that of any
other state because the Ohio campaign was
made on the issues that will predominant in
the national canvass of next year, and its
result indicates the feeliDgIof the people of
one of theIlargest and most enterprisipg of
the States on those issues. Confessedly In
New York the result turned on purely local
questions; so also in Iowa; and in Massa-
chusetts, though national questions were
discussed and the tariff made an Issue nv
the campaign speakers, it is evident enough
that the people decided the election with
little reference to 1t, inasmuch as thew chose
as Governor member of the Democratic
party, which Is committed to tariff reform.
and Tor all the State offices and members of
the legislature members Of the Republican
party, which is committed to protection
But in Ohio the tariff question was directly
before the people, first, because the author
OF the Mckinley bill was the Republican
candidate, and second, because the legisla-
ture to be elected would choose a United
States Senator, whose voice and vote would
be potent In determining the tariff policy of
the country In the future Andl the verdict
of the people of Ohio is that the present tar
if law shall stand, at.least until it has had n
fair trial.

So excellent an authority as Senator Sher-
man bears witness to the satisfactory work
ing Of the Australian ballot law in Ohio.
This law is very much like the Maine act,
the voter being allowed to vote for the whole
ticket by making one mark against 1t, and
not being compelled, as under the Massachu-
setts statute, to make mark against each
individual name. Before election both par.
ties regarded it with suspicion, each fearing
that 1t would in some way work to its disad
vantage. The probability is that the Law
had very little effect upon the election, AND
that the result would have been practically
the same under the old system. but 1t is very
certain that If 1t did work to the disadvan
tage of any party that party was not thu
Republican.

The campaign of shillelahs still goes on
around Cork with no slackening of the en-
thusiasm with which one side proceeds to
break the heads Of TIE other. As far as
can be made out the fight Is for supremacy
simply, neither side having any programme
except to whip the other. OF course the
rival orators denounce one another with
great vigor, and the crowd enforces their de-
nunciations by means Of sticks and stones
with still greater vigor Both sides, we be-
lieve, are fighting for Homerule and the right
to regulate their own local affairs. but they
disagree as to the best method of attaining
1t, and are settling their differences by the
Donnybrook fair method of hitting head
whenever ole presents itself. or course
heir performances have a very cheering
effect on the English Liberals, who have
been contending for years that the Irish
were ripe for self government and have been
trying their best to give it to them.

Senator John Sherman has stated at lenpth
to an interviewer his opinions on the cleo
ton which has just taken place. He believes
that the silver question will be made promi-
nent In the next House by the passage of
free coinage bill which will have to be
vetoed by the President. Thus it will be
found that the Ohio fight which he has been
waging has been but the prelude to a great
national contest over the currency question.
Mr.. Sherman admits that there has been
some change of sentiment In the West and
South on the financial question, but not
enough to prevent a strong demand for free
coinage act which Congress will accede to-.
In this Mr.. Sherman differs from Mr.. Roger
@. Mills. Mills is a champion of free coin
age but he thinks all other questions should
be subordi nated to the one issue of the tar
if. Mr.. Sherman, ON the other hand, seems
to agree with Mr.. Mckinley that the people
want rest from tariff discussions. OF the
New York defeat Mr. Sherman has one opin-
ion. Platt Is strong man in the Metropo.
lis; but the Ohioan thinks the country peo-
pie were little FESTIVE under his domina-
ton, showing 1t by defeating Fassett. In
the Massachusetts, majority for Russell. Mr..
Sherman sees significance Of nothing but the
personal popularity Of the young governor.
Mr.. Sherman thinks Russell Is practically a
Republican, being Democrat only on the
| tariff issue. This is undoubtedly the truth
but Mr.. Russelps neaIness to Republicanism
| is much like the nearness of Capernaum to
| future blessedness. In day of judgment as
| to Republicanism it would be more tolerable
| for Mills and Bynum than for Russell. Con-
corning the result In Iowa Mr.. herman says
some things which all Republicans will not
subscribe to, especially in Maine. THE
contest for ages has shown" says Mr.. Sher.
man, 'that the attempt to regulate the appe-
title of people cannot be successful. The
sooner any community appreciates that fact
the better. No party can carry that load on
its shoulders and succeed very long. We
have got to get away from such nonsense. It
has been tried for many, many years, and
nothing but disaster to any party organize
tion has ever come of it, That is all the re-
suit In Iowa means. and 1t may serve us q
good purpose in other directions" Mr..
Sherman feels sure that the Republicans
will win in the next Presidential election,
but is not SO certain as to the probable stan
dard bearer.

Who defeated Fassett is a question which
still excites discussion In New York politi
cal circles. In New York city and Brooklyn
the Democratic majority was not excessive
and the nominal Republican majority in the
country would have easily overcome it. But
Fassett did not secure that nominal majority.
On the contrary his country majority fell far
below Miller's lin 1888. Apparently many
Republicans staid lat home, but for what
reason is unsettled. One explanation is that
the friends of Warner Miller sulked. An
other is that Fassett was not acceptable to
the radical temperance demand. Another is
the lavish use Of money by the Democrats.
Still another is that Congressman Belden's
influence was exerted against Fassett. What
ever the explanation, the fact remains that
Fassett was beaten by Republicans rather
than by Democrats. Had the Republican
vote in the country come out he would have
been elected

The Democratic Anti Lottery Executive
Committee of the State of Louisiana has is.
ued an appeal to the people of United States
for aid In Its fight against the renewal Of the
charter OF the lottery company. The appeal
reviews the history of the lottery company,
tells how Its first charter was obtained BY
corruption and bribery, and how, later, when
the legislature had repealed it the Supreme
court OF the State came to Its aid by decis-
Ion that charter once granted could not be
repealed, even If the bargain was an immor-
al one. The appeal points out that the
company is now attempting to secure a re-.
newal of its charter from the people by the
same system of bribery and fraud which was
relied upon in the first place. The company
offers the State Of Louisiana more than 1871.
100000 for the privilege of continuing its
business. with this vast corruptIng power
to confront" says the appeal. I'VE realize
that we have battles to fight that no people
ever fought before; we need all the help our
fellow citizens Of the sister States can con.
tribute, and this we ask in the name of our
common citizenship. In the behalf of right,
and for the general welfare of our common
wealth of States" 1t is rarely that we can
commend a Democratic proclamation, but
this one, we do not hesitate to say, is issued
In behalf Of good cause, and should enlist
tne actlye sympathy of honest people all
over the land.

1t was declared before election by all the
Democratic and Mugwump parers that the
most important battle-ground was the state
OF Ohio, for there the tariff question, which
the Democrats allege will be the great and
preponderating issue in the next Presiden-
tial campaign, was on trial as 1t was no.
where else. because. the author of the Nc
kinley law was the Republican candidate
Tor the governUrship. This declaration of
democrats and Mugwumps was strictly true.
The tariff question was on trial in Ohio as it
was nowhere else. The campaign there was
MADE almost entirely on national issues, the
local Issues being few and comparatively un-
important. Campbell talked about nothing
