Forty cases of Winchesters were re-
ceived by the chairman OF the so-called
lottery Democratic executive commit
tee of Louisiana OF course they were
paid for by the lottery company to be
used, if necessary, in the furtherance
OF its designs.
Corporate wealth as represented in
bond purchasing sYndicates demanded
an oppressive war on Chill, and was
nearly successful in forcing it. Now it
demands blood and party strife in
Louisiana and masquerades as Dem
ocracy.
Corporate wealth. realizing large
profits without labor in every pursuit,
becomes arrogant. 1t uses its money
to buy political parties and politicians
and to make war within parties on
those it cannot purchase. 1t hounds
down with its easily acquired money
every man or agency that attempts to
stand between it and the masses. 1t
employs the most cunning OF politicians
to harangue the people and disrupt the
party or cruelty the politician it cannot
use in its own way. When it has an
end to serve, its money in some way
reaches the Instrument employed,
whether ne be an humble farmer with
influence, or an able politician, edi-
tor or lawyer.
This is an age of predominating COR
porate power. If its ends cannot be
obtained in any other way, it would as
soon have few thousand butchered in
Louisiana or Chill as to hold boiling
convention on Murray Hill. When it
fails to control the Democratic party in
Texas, its money will flow into the
pockets of Quincy and his party, if
thereby the machinery of government
may be made subservient to its pur-
poses. As Jay Gould once remarked
upon the witness stand, it has no poll
tics except greed. 1t cares nothing for
social or political harmony or indi-
vidual happiness. 1t is the modern
car of -Juggernaut, which marks for
early ruin all who resist its control.

TEE COMING MAN.

Speaking OF a presidential candidate,
the Chicago Herald asks "Where can
the Democrats of the Northwest find a
better man than Senator John N.
Palmer ?H We don't know that there
are any better men, but are there
not men more available9 Senator
Palmer is grand old man, and if he
were ten years younger, would be a
formidable candidate. His honesty,
courage and capacity are unquestioned,
but his years are too many. 1t is pos
sible that he might be able to COM
mand the support OF eight states in the
Northwest five of which, to-wit: Illi-
nois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa and
Nebraska went Democratic at the last
general election. Minnesota and the
two Dakotas went Republican. These
eight states will have ia delegates out
OF total of 900 in the national Demo-
cratic convention. II he or any other
Western man should get them all, he
would still be in a discouraging mi
nority.
To-day there are but two Democrats
who are much talked OF as candidates
for the presidency. It is needless to
say that they are Hill and Cleveland. AT
present it is by no means sure that Mr..
Cleveland is really candidate, it hav-
ing been stated quite recently that
nothing but the earnest pleadings of
his friends prevented a public an
nouncement of his withdrawal from the
race. At best he can no longer be con-
sidered as anything more than nomi-
nal candidate with no better show for
the nomination than the darkest of
dark horses. He is to all intents and
purposes out of the race, while Hill
is to all intentsa and purposes very much
in it. Hill should get the ia dele
gates mentioned above, because his
financial and tariff policies are as one
with theirs. Palmer's policy may be
the same also, but Hill can carry the
East, while it is doubtful if Palmer or
any other Western man could. Hill is
the coming man, and let US keep it in
mind

THIS story of dinner at Senator
Hale's, which was printed by the Wash
ington Post, has an air of probability
in view of the well-known fact of Mr.
Blaine's opposition to harsh measures
against Chill:
After dinner and while the gentlemen
were enjoying their CHASED and their CT
gars the conversation turned upon the
Gillian affair As the discussion deepened
MIR. Blaine became acutely excited and at
last he broke out in q violent denunciation
of the idea that Chilli should be dealt with
harshly. He declared that, although the
Valparaiso incident was nothing more than
a drunken squabble in disreputable slum,
siguifying nothing, the Gillian government
had already apologized for it ten times more
than ours had done for the brutal and bar
barous massacre of Italian citizens in New
Orleans AT this Marquis Imperiali is said
TO have bowed in his best style and cemDli-
mented the great secretary on his magnan-
unity and craftsmanship. Blaine then went
on to characterize in the severest terms the
disposition TO exact further concessions
from Chili--this at a time when the presi-
dent was VIGOROUSLY determined to do that
very thing-and wound up by declaring in
the most emphatic manner that II the ad-
ministration should adopt such policy as
that he repudiated it and wanted to be so
understood.

A MINIMUM CANDIDATE.

Mr.. Blaine's letter TO Mr.. Clarkson
announcing that he will not be candi-
date for the Republican nomination for
the presidency reduces the Republican
situation to the simplicity of a field
with but one candidate. The party
must either renominate Harrison or
enter the campaign with the acknowl-
edgment that his administration has
been failure. The latter course is
not to be anticipated. The president
will have no opposition to renomina-
ton except, perhaps, the artificial can
didacy of aspirants who may take this
method of suggesting themselves for
the second place on the ticket.
Blaine and Harrison represent the
maximum and minimum OF Republican
strength to-day. It was the misfortune
of the first to come before the nation as
a positive against a negative force; it
was the good fortune Of Harrison that
his opportunity came when the mega
tive which opposed Mr.. Blaine had be-
come a positive force, and he thus won
the favor Of The influences which de-
cided the contest against Mr.. Blaine.
BY degrees the aggressive opposition
to the latter has worn away. The dis
trust which he formerly excited no
longer exists, while he retains the en-
thusiastic following which has made
him for many years the most conspicu-
GUS figure in his party. His nomins-
ton would have sorely tried the
strength of the strongest man that
could have been found to oppose him.
Harrison, like Cleveland at the end
of his presidential term, has lost the
quality which made his first election
possible. The two men are marvel
ously alike, both headstrong, arbitrary,
Indifferent to popular sentiment, and
unmindful of party counsel. 1t is as
impossible for Harrison to be reelected
this year as it was impossible Tor Cleve-
land to be reelected in 1882.

Mr., CLEVELAND lost his own and
came near losing several Southern
states, when he had all the pomp and
power of president, and had not de-
clared against silver coinage. In spite
OF these indisputable facts and plain
warnings, Editor Jones of the Republic,
and few lesser lights are trying by
over-persuasion and threats to force
him on the party. All the facts and
pointers OF the situation are in Mr..
Cleveland's way. II Senator Hill had
never been born, Mr.. Cleveland would
not have been seriously thought of by
the masses for denomination. There
is such thing as too much of even a
good thing.

There is an old saying which is in effect
that nothing succeeds like success, and we
always judge mans greatness by his sue
.cesses and not by his failures. This being
the case we can but look upon Senator Hill
as great man, as his record shows him 10
be successful in everything he has so far
attempted Being sehooled in politics by
so great teacher as Samuel J. Tilden, he
naturally adhered to the Democratic faith,
and to promote the interests Of his party
has been his chief aim. In its promotion,
he has grown into great prominence him
self, and to-day he is more generally talked
of for the presidency on the Democratic
ticket than any other man in the United
States. As governor of New York he
proved himself a wise, careful and
lCdicious executive and made record that

THE Cleveland Democrats in Penn
sylvania held the convention early
in January when sleigh riding was
good and the News and Republic ct al.
pointed with pride to the result. The
Murray Hill Democrats object to New
York convention late in February be-
cause yiolets will not be sufficiently in
bloom for button-hole bouquets. Mr..
Cleveland's friends lead off in early
January, and the button-hole bouquet
Democrats are mad because Senator
Hills friends would not saw wood.
Why don't the big dailies go for the
fellow that hit the first lick? This is
the way we do in Texas. Democratic
newspapers should deal fairly with all
Democrats.

VICTORY Or DEFEAT.

The Courier-Journal mistakes the
/ position OF THE GAZETTE and what we
understand to be the position of the au-
1 thors of the Democratic plan of cam
I paign in congress in assuming that it
is proposed to take backward step in
the contest for a reformation of the
tariff Our Louisville contemporary
is as inconsistent as it is illogical, for
it has been but few days since it
pronounced, in terse sentence quoted
by THE GAZETTE, the clamor against
the Democratic leaders in con-
gress as disloyal to the cause of tariff
reform to be mere ''quibbling." 1t then
said, and accurately too, that the only
question involved was the best method
OF assailing the enemy. That such is
true, must appear from a moments con-
sideration. 1t is not possible in the
time that remains for campaign
preparation to formulate a bill fully
expressive of the principles of tariff
reform. Indeed, such bill, if per-
fected, would be in the view OF all ex-
cept the gibbering idiots who think
the end of existence is to speak their
minds, the very last thing to incorpo-
rate in national platter M. Even Mr..
Watterson, with all his rash ardor,
has given approval to the use Of eau
ton. He Endorsed the adoption Of the
Mills bill in the platform of 1888, yet
it is safe to say that the only items of
that bill which satisfied his demands
were found on the free list. The tariff
schedules were carrie AZURE on re-
form, considered in any other light
than that of expediency, as the
Courier-Journal VIII, doubtless, adj
NIT. If it is determined to accept
nothing less than the whole loaf OF
bread at the first call upon the bakery,
it should hop out on tho floor with
Henry George and inaugurate an out and
out fight for free trade, unhampered by
such constituencies scruples as desire
to win.
1t is one of the anomalies of history
that those who are most efficient in ag-
itation which leads to reform ulti-
mately become obstacles to its accom-
plishment undated enthusiasm
wears away Judgment, and at last it re-
quires the stocks to keep the poor zeal
OTIS from iniuring the cause for which
they have fotsaken reason. It was SO
with the slavery agitation. 1t has
been so with all great reform issues at
all times in all places. We regret
that so honored a warrior as the
Courier-Journal offers no hope that the
rule may be broken in single in
stance.
Mr.. Gladstone is generally accepted |
as an example OF the highest type of
modern craftsmanship. He had veil
nigh won the fight for home rule in
Ireland until few irreconcilables re-
volted from his leadership because he
would not disclose to the country the |
details of his plan of self-government,
and thus invite storm of petty criti-
cism upon the mere machinery of
great principle. Mr.. Watterson and |
all the directors to plan which en-
compasses the idea of victory may |
profit by study OF the results of Par
nellis revolt.

wanted-More Peanut PolItIe..

Much ado has been made about Gov
ernor Hill being a peanut politician and
corrupt man. He has been governor of
New York seven years and has SO man
aged the affairs of state as to give the peo-
pie the lowest tax rate they have had in
thirty years. If that is peanut statesman
ship then there ara q lot of other states
men in this country who ought TO grow up
TO the peanut size. Hill also managed the
affairs Of the Democratic party so as to put
them in possession of al branches OF the New
York legislature. Ifthat's peanut politics
then there are a lot OF politicians in the
Democratic party whose proportions would
be vastly enlarged If they should develop
up to the standard Of the peanut variety.

his personal efforts than anything else that
Mckinley was defeated in his own district

shrevd politician. Instead Of this being
against him, however, it should be 10 his
credit; for in these roaring times Of deal

DAVID A. WELLS, who is justly
known-as 'the father of tariff reform"
in this country, presents cogent reasons
why the attack in detail plan OF the
aAys and means committee is likely to
prove more successful and beneficial in
results than would follow the advocacy
of a general tariff bill. After this it
will seem worse than presumptuous
Stiffness to question the loyalty of the
Democratic leaders in congress to the
cause OF tariff reform.

LoANINe MONEY on LAND.

Congressman Oates has introduced a
bill authorizing national banks to lend
money on real estate security. Obiec-
ton is made to the bill on the ground
of danger to the banks surplus, result
ing from long loans, and the need for
money to meet the demands Of deposit
tors. This objection looks like beg
ging of the question, for indirectly
money is loaned by national banks on
land. Perhaps not by all of them, but
in many instances. The banks money
is let out to friend who makes the
loans on land direct, the bank not being
known in the transaction. If any dis
asters have resulted from this practice
we never heard of them. We do hear
OF snashups resulting from speculation
by bank officials in stocks of various
kinds. But that is a totally different
matter. Private banks make a prac-
tice of lending money on land, and I'M
less it be recklesslY done, no danger
whatever is incurred.
BY removing the restriction now i'm
posed on national banks, larger and
much more convenient supply of money
would be placed at the disposal of the
land owner, who, with the best secur-
ity in the world, would no longer be
compelled to go in search OF private
money lenders to make such bargains
as they may please to exact OF him.

party in this state to use every effort to
promote the movement against Hill and
Hillism. Hills control of the Democratic
organisation IN New York is the last hope
of the silver men. We think that they
stand no chance of presenting a formidable
front in the Democratic politics Of this
presidential year. It is, therefore, within
the truth to say that there is not Demo-
cratic banker, broker, merchant or hush
ness man Of any description in the state Of
New York who has not direct and large
pecuniary interest In the defeat of Hills
Vaccinations. If one-third of those who
are threatened with disaster by Hill join
