NEWSPAPER OPINION.
A Political Cnnsclenco.
Philadelphia Times.


Philadelphia Times.
Mr.. Cleveland's letter of acceptance
while IL no doubt disappointed those who
looked for something ringing" for i'm
mediate campaign. use, it did not matter
what, illustrates main source of his en-
during strength and of the confidence he
continually inspires-his reference of all
public questions to well grasped funda-
mental principles This is worth more
than "bugle- blast To the most of
our practical politicians the questions
of the hour are questions merely of
temporary expediency. Political convic-
tions, ii not wholly obsolete, are useful
only to students and not to men of
affairs, and the test TO be applied to each
issue that may arise is not what is right
but what is popular. And this is
why their popularity is generally so
evanescent. The one thing that has
especially distinguished Mr. Cleveland
throughout his public careeris his reversal
OF this customary test, and his resolute
adherence to his convictions as Dem
ocrat, even when the popular currents
seem to be running against him. Aud
this is the main reason why he presents
the stalwart figure that he does in
American politics and why his party
trusts him as it trusts none Of the merely
smart men whose sails are trimmed to
catch the passing breeze. All this as has
been said, is characteristically shown in
the letter Of acceptance, where the ques.
tion of the tariff is not treated
merely as a question Of Juggling
hgures, but is referred back to the funda.
mental conception of the functions of
government that must form the founda.
tion of any intelligent Judgment on such
a subject. Upon this basis the whole
issue is broadened out from discussion
Of practical details, which belong to log.
islative discretion, into an issue Of public
policy and principle, which is all that
can DO decided at the polls. That tho
advocates Of the monopoly tariff find
fault with this treatment of tho subject
may be taken for granted They much
prefer to fight on the surface of the
tariff than to have applied to 1t the test
Of abstract principle For this force of
conviction is what has finally won in
every great political contest that the
country has had to fight out. IL won
against the older Federalism, it won
against slavery, and it will win against
the new combination OF the old oppressive
forces that so long have held the country
in thraldom.

TIE EDMUNDS GOES DOWN.
A WELL-KNoWN PILOT BOAT SUNK
BY A SCHOONER.

Four Men and the Crew OF the Pilot
Boat are Taken or Just in Time to
Save Their Lives-A Big Law Suit VIII
Follow.
report reached here last night, and
was verified this morning, that
the pilotboat j. Henry Edmunds, No. 3,
was run down on Monday night off the
Delaware Capes by the four-masted
schooner Ralph NJ. Haywood, aud sunk
before daylight yesterday morning All
on board were rescued by the Haywood
and afterward transferred to the pilot
boat Whillden and were landed yester
day at Cape May.
The collision happened about twenty
five miles off the coast The Edmunds
had "hove to" and the Haywood was sail
ing free with the wind when the accident
happened The schooner struck the lost
vessel just abaft the main chains and
pinioned each vessel fast to the other.
About o'clock in the morning
the vise-like grip was released
and the Edmunds sank in over 100 feet
Of water, not even the mast being visi-
bic There were only two pilots on
board-Ellis Eldridge and Alphonso Ben
net, and two guests-Joseph Eldridge
and Ira knuoff. who were spending their
vacation. All hands including the
crow, boarded the Haywood as soon as
she struck
AS night was perfectly clear the
lights from both vessels could be seen
ten miles. The Haywood was in ballast
from New York for Norfolk, and had a
large hole stove in her bow and her stem
carried away, but continued ON her
course despite the fact that she was un-
seaworthy and liable to go down herself.
The crew and pilots lost their clothing
and everything on board the vessel
owned by other pilots. Pilot Benlett
was badly bruised during the collision.
The report is, further, that Captain
Baxter, of the Haywood, refused to give
the rescued persons any food, or even a
cup Of coffee The pilots believe that
their vessel might have been saved if
help could have been given them at once.
The Haywood was libeled in Philadelphia
five years ago for n similar collision,
which cost $50, 600, and was laid up three
months before security was procured.
The Edmunds was built by c. r. Poll
lion, of Brooklyn, in 1887, and has been
a. successful boat until this accident
She was owned by Joel Cook, Mayor J..

COLONEL CANADAY, ex. sergeant. at arms
Of the United States senate, who com

ton was one of the products OF RepubH-
canism at the south He had forsaIen
his own people tempted by the offer Of
spoils. He met what so many men have
met whose personal and vulgar ambitions
have persuaded them to trample upon
the interest and the sympathies Of their
people An honest and Trustworthy man
may be Republican in negro
community Of course, but Repub.
lican from conviction and princi-
pie. Such men do not seek Office
at the hands Of the negroes. It is too
degrading The man who does has usu-
ally forsaken family ties, home and
friends, to become voluntary outcast in
the community where he was born and
reared. That is the reason why so few
white men of the South have become
Republicans. On financial questions, the
people Of the South would likely have
divided, perhaps equally, but on the
negro domination issue with carpet bag
gers and ignorant negroes on one side,
and the Anglo-Saxon people on the other,
there was nothing for proud man to do
but keep out Of politics or go with his
own people. Canaday was one
of the men who swallowed his pride, il
he had any, and cast his lot with the
carpet baggers and the negroes for an
Office. Out of Office he stole money and
then committed suicide Men Of other
classes and Of all classes commit error.

FooLs. ceANKs. FRAUDS.


Careful attention to Colonel McClures
speech will show why Major Mckinley
was not allowed to meet him in debate.
Colonel Mcclure knew how the frauds
of tho Mckinley tariff were worked into
a bin for the robbery of the people. He
knew how much the manufacturers paid
and what they got for it, He was able
TO tell Mckinley that Disston, for exam
pie, paid so much money into the cam
paign fund, say $4,000, and appeared in
the committee rooms, after the election,
and procured so much tariff.
Then he would show that the prices Of
saws and tools had advanced while
wages had decreased. Hence Major
Mckinley would be compelled to admit
that, If he had put the tariff up to bene-
fit the workingmen, he had committed
an error. He would be compelled to
admit Ignorance of the effects Of the
increased tariff duties or collusion with
every separate subscriber to the cam
paign fund to rob the people Here is a
sample OF the kind of attack Major Nc
Ninley could not resist before a Phila-
delphia audience. Colonel Mcclure says.
And why should not hemp be free? Go

A PHILosopHeR ANp A CRANK.


No man who takes any interest in the
questions Of the day should fail TO read
Colonel McClure's speech. Mckinley is
respected for his integrity and admired
for his thorough mastery Of the details
Of the tariff law Mcclure has equal integ-
rity and as thorough knowledge of de-
tails as Mckinley, but much greater in
telligence and, as compared with Nc
kinley, infinite versatility.
Mckinley is dull, mechanical plodder
while Mcclure is keen witted. alert.
trenchant, convincing. Colonel Mcclure
brings a whole battery of humor, sar.
casm, invective and fact to play upon
the absurdities, oddities, fallacies and
frauds Of the tariff bill, while Mckinley
sings the dull rondo Of the Confederate
constitution, the country's prosperity and
the impossible calamity of impossible
free trade Mckinley from long prac-
tice is plausible but from recent exigen-
cies he is illogical and unfair. Mcclure
grants the protective theory. but shows
that the present high tariff law is a
fraud upon the workingmen and rob
berry Of the people
Surely Colonel Mcclure is as compe.
tent to deal with this subject as McKin-
ley; he is equally honest, more intelli-
gent and less interested. Colonel Nc.
Clure views the case from the stand
point Of a scholar and patriot. McKin.
ley is partisan. Colonel Mcclure has
studied the subject Of the tariff as II
touched the people and affected the in.
dustries of Philadelphia Mckinley has
used It as a means Of settling tho debts
Of the Republican campaign and to in
fluence votes in congress.
Tho Mckinley bill does not even suit
Mckinley He was compelled to alter,
pad and trim it TO suit the demands and
voracity Of a lot Of men who we're bent
ON plumber Colonel Mcclure is a living
example of the doctrine he breaches. He
is at the head Of a splendid industry
which thrives and prospers in spite OF
the tariff tax on every thing and every
man In il without a cents benefit, what.
ever, from the tariff. He is In an indus
try which has advanced moro rapidly,
always paid better wages and still made
greater reductions in its product than
any protected industry ever known
The Times newspaper
II it were possible to sell the product
Of his industry abroad he could com.
pete with any country and sell cheaper
and a better newspaper than can be pro.
duoed anywhere else in the world.
Mckinley is not practical; he has nc
industry; never had any industry except
his mouth He is so innocent, il might
even be called ignorance, that the specu
lators Of Piqua fooled him with vulgar
and silly fraud that they called an
American tin-plate" mill, and the reai
estate sharpers Of Elwood deceived him
into backing an attempt to sell theil
lots. Like all oneideaed men, McKin
leys mind is unbalanced he is a crank
His bill proclaims It his speeches confirm
it. Mr. Mcclure is a philosopher.
