Alliance Candidate Koib OF Alabam
Claims a Legal Election.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-A Montgomery
(Aia.) special dispatch says: Ex-Com-
missioner Kolb, late Alliance candidate
for governor, is out in published letter
disputing the claims OF Jones to election.
Tho letter concludes: 81 have been fair
ly and honestly elected by over 10000
majority and the people OF my native
state recognize the fact and will see that
justice is accorded by placing me at the
head of our state government for the
next two years."
The letter creates a sensation and Is re-
garded as an evidence of Kolb's intention
to challenge the official count, which is
nearly completed and which fixes Jones'
majority at between nine and twelve

CLEVELAND AND HENDRICKS.

The organ of the Cleveland wing of
the Democracy jumps on to the German
Telegraph for adverting to the fact that
Mr.. Cleveland treated the late Mr..
Hendricks badly. The Telegraph op-
poses the nomination of Cleveland and
cites his treatment of Mr.. Hendricks as
one reason, among others. why Indiana
Democrats do not owe him any special
affection or loyalty.
In reading the riot act to the Tele-
graph for referring to this matter the
Sentinel shows either that it is ignorant
of recent history or else that it is not in
touch with the sentiment of the Indiana
Democracy. Every person conversant
with the facts knows that Mr.. Cleveland
did treat Mr.. Hendricks very badly and
made but little effort to conceal his dis
like for the Indiana statesman. 1t would
hardly be putting it too strongly
to say that he showed his contempt
for Mr.. Hendricks, for, strange as it
may seem in view of the respective
calibers, characters, attainments and
records of the two men, it is neverthe-
less true that his Inflated Excellency
from New York did, by his treatment of
Mr.. Hendricks. show that he regarded
himself as much superior to the Vice
president. His success as a mugwump
has given him contempt for old-fash-
toned Democracy, and to this he added
a narrow, provincial dislike of plain
Western men. Besides, he was jealous
of Mr.. Hendricks popularity with the
rank and file of the party. and he could
not conceal his dislike of man whom
he knew that many regarded as greatly
superior to himself in every way.
Though a much younger man than Mr..
Hendricks, and greatly outclassed by

him as politician, he never treated Mr..
Hendricks with any consideration or re-
spect. In fact, he scarcely treated him
decently.
There was great deal of talk about
this at the time. and although Mr.. Hen
bricks has passed away his memory is
revcred by thousands of Democrats in
Indiana whose blood still boils when
they remember how he was treated by a
man who owes his elevation entirely to
a series of accidents. As human nature
is constituted it is not surprising that
many of Mr.. Hendricks's lifelong friends
should resent the present candidacy of
the Great Stuffed and should embrace
the opportunity to express their opin-
ions. 1t is not good politics in the Sem
tinel to try and prevent them, and We
feel quite sure it will not succeed.

PROTECTION AND WAGES.

The Sentinel copies from the New
York Times list of eleven manufactur
ing establishments where it is asserted
that wages have been reduced, and
cites this as proof of the failure of the
Mckinley law and of protection in gen.
eral. We do not know whether it is
true or not that there has been reduc-
ton of wages in all the establishments
named since the Mckinley law took
effect, but even if true it does not prove
anything. Among thousands and thou
sands of manufacturing establishments
there will always be few which, from
one cause or another, find it necessary
to curtail operations or reduce wages.
For every factory that has reduced
wages there are scores that have adj
vanced them, as free trade papers might
easily ascertain if they were as anxious
to publish good news as they are to
publish bad. The Bureau of Labor of
New York reports 1.941 instances of ad-
vanced wages for 1891. and 2,0S5 cases
in which the hours of labor were short
ened. A report of the Illinois Labor
Bureau shows that wages in the coal
mines of that State were higher IN 1891
than before in four years. The Amer
lean Economist is printing from week
to week long list OF manufacturing eS-
Establishments in which wages have been
increased since the passage Of the Me-
Kinley law. Free-trade papers do not
publish such facts.
But the question is not whether this
or that factory has reduced or increased
the wages of its wOrkmen. The real
question is, how does the amount of
money now being paid for wages and
the number of persons receiving it COM
pare with former periods? Is the aggre-
gate amount of money now being paid
for wages and the aggregate number of
persons earning wages more or less than
fOrmerlyq We are entirely willing to
submit the Mckinley bill to that test.
The truth is, there never was time in
the history of the country when so much
money was being paid every month in
wages to SO many persons as at this
time. This is true of every State and
city in the Union. There is not an in
telligent business man or wage-earner
anywhere who does not know it to be
true. There never was a time In the
history of the country when a larger
proportion of its population were profit
ably employed and earning, in the ag-
gregate, as large wages as at present.
This is the true test of protection, and
not whether q factory here and there
has reduced wages.

A HOPELESS CAUSE,

The Brooklyn Eagle (DemOcratic) be-
trays the hopelessness of the Democrat
ic cause when it devOtes an editorial to
the chances of Democratic success In
Kansas, Nebraska and Minnesota
through combination between the De-
mOcracy and the Peoples party. Such
things have been tried, but always to
fail, and such combination has never
brought success to the Democracy,
though often attempted. The Peoples
party stands pledged to the most absurd
theories ever announced in politics. The
men who vote for them either believe in
them OF support them in order to help an
other party. When the Democratic lead
ers in Kansas accept the Peoples party
electoral ticket in that State they will
do it to promote the election of Grover
Cleveland by throwing the election
INTO the House. Now, of the
two, Harrison or Cleveland. the
former Republicans who still adhere
to the Peoples party will prefer Harri-
son. and they will vote for him directly,
while a few Democrats will be sure to
be Disguised with the proposition to vote
to sustain ideas which they believe to be
pernicious in order to insure a Demo-
cratic triumph. The whole proposition
is fraud on its face. and most people
will object to being used as dupes. If
the best hope of the Brooklyn Eagle in
the success of Mr.. Cleveland is in COM
bines in Kansas and like States. the out
look to that able exponent of Democracy
is well-nigh hopeless.

of the three Italians found to be sub

were killed at New Orleans. This is

that no claim lay against the general
