The Berlin Riots.

That was a neat and effective, though
very palpable, trick OF Emperor WILLIAM
to ride. practically unattended. into the
midst of the riotous throngs which packed
Inter den Linden and made the air trem-
BILE with their "seditious" cries. But it
really required but little courage, and it
probably deceived no one, not even the
emperor himself 1t is very doubtful if,

was hated, feared or reverenced, according
to the position and character of his be-
holder, because in him people saw man
stronger than the system he represented
"a creator of things. The present en-
peror is not a creator, he is creation and
the Berlin rioters, recognizing that fact,
are protesting, not against the emperor,
but the existent order of things which he
represents. Therefore, the mere fact that
the emperor showed himself to the mob
may be dismissed as very paltry piece of
mock heroism.
But the servile plaudits of his people
cannot drown the cries which have gone
up at the emperor's gates in the past two
days. Nor is it at ali probable that the
people will be deferred from their purpose
or their discomfort be alIayed by any boyish
exhibition OF personal bravado. The time
for that has passed. The people of Ger
many have grievances of serious nature
and are not to be easily put off without
a hearing. The young WILLIAM, by his
arrogant speeches and the viciousness of
his proposed legislation, has opened the
eyes of the German people to the pos
sibilties of their present governmental
system. and they are not at all pleased

To slight extent the influences that
operated IN the two states were the same.
In 1872 both demonstrated that the rock
ribbed democrat could not stomach GREE
LEY, and in 1880 both states went against
the proposition that the tariff was a local
issue. Beyond this they differ essentially.
The great fluctuations in New York are
due chiefly to the cheerful practice of
"knifng" that has prevailed there. In
1879 Robinson would have been elected

votes. In 1882 the republicans did the

nOmenal majority. In 1854 the counter
republican knitting partly neutralized the
Tammany support of Ben BUTLER and

has no such record. Aside from the
effects of money, the fluctuations
in her vote have been due
chiefly to the legitimate effects of
argument on the minds of the Independent
cla5s. OF course there is always the effect
of local issues. disappointed ofiice-seekers
and thelike, but these figures demonstrate
the necessity of satisfying the thinking
and reasoning man.
With factional strife laid aside New
York is much more certainly democratic
than Indiana. In Indiana neither of the
great parties has had majority OF all the
votes cast since 1874. There is no reason
to believe that either will have a majority
in the present year. Four parties are en-
titled to place on the ballots for conven-
ton nominations. The struggle of the
great parties, therefore, is not only against
each other, but also to prevent their
voters from being drawn into the ranks of
the independent organizations The
amount OF defectiOns to these will be more
likely to settle the outcome of the cam
paign than viii the changes from one
party to the other. In 1855 the peoples
party vote was 1854. In 1890 it rose TO
IL, 534, which was the largest third party
vote cast in Indiana in the period covered
above. except in 1873, when the green
back party cast its greatest vote of 39,44S.
The prohibition vote rose from 9,SSl in
1883 to II, log in 1880. 1t draws about
equally from both parties. In 1890 the
peoples party drew chiefly from the re-
publican ranks. Its effect in 1892 will de-
pend partly on the action of congress and
partly on the candidates presented.

seated and almost universal feeling OF I'M
rest throughout the empire. These dem
onstrations in themselves are probably not
dangerous and may be brushed aside with
the batons of the police or the sabers of
the cavalry. These riots are but the spray
dashed up from turbulent sea OF popular
thought which, when once its full strength
is reused, will sweep with resistless force
over not only the puny emperor, but the
governmental system on which he stands.
The revolution NAV be as peaceful as
that which in a day changed Brazil from
an empire to a republic, or 1t
may be as gris!y and terrible as
that which choked the cutters Of
Paris with the life blood of the
sristocrats. But it is coming swiftly and
surely. 1t may be postponed by wise
legislation and liberal administration.
WILLIAM / II may, if he choose, make Tor
himself enduring fame as friend of
humanity by concessions TO the growing
democratic sentiment, or he may, as seems
more likely from his recent course, make
himself the target for the blows which
shall wipe out the whole monarchical sys-
tenn in Germany. One or the other he
will certainly do soon. Events are rush.
ing headlong to crisis and the beginning
of the end is not far in the future.

The Indenendent Vote.

There has never been a presidential
election in the history of the country when
it behooved political parties to look more
carefully TO the influence of reason than
the present one. On every hand there are
evidences of discomfort and dissatisfaction
with party management. In some OF the
southern states the alliance element has
taken control of the democratic organiza-
ton. In Kansas, Nebraska and South
Dakota it has overthrown the republican
organization. In Louisiana an uprising of
moral sentiment would have destroyed the
democratic party but for the withdrawal
of the lottery issue. In New York thous-
ands of prominent democrats are in open
rebellion against the machine. The in
dustrial third party movement has come
before the country in more compact shape
and on a more Ineligible basis than ever
before. If these things mean anything
they mean that the independent voter is
going to have great deal to say at the
election of 1892 And by independent
themselves with independent organiza-
tons, but also those on whom party bonds
rest lightly when party action is not
satisfactory.
1t will be of interest to note the mani
festations of this unruly element (unruly
from party standpoint) in the states
where its action may prove most signif-
icant. First of these is New York, and
the following table shows the results of its
more important elections since 1870:

vail to some extent in the effste coun-
tries of Europe, where scions of nobil-
itv are allowed considerable moral latitude
because OF their relationship to princes.
To the lay mind it would appear that

the seriousness of his onense. Secretary

though it may be entirely consistent in a
member of an administration whose chief

on the fact that he Is the grandson OF his

WHAT CLEVELAND HAS DONE.
He Has Given the Party IN Issue and Has
Given IL Success

To THE EDIToR-Sir: / have been read
ing the interview of Chairman Springer,
published in THE SENTINEL today, on the
outlook as to presidential candidate of
the democratic party at the November
election. Mr.. Springer seems to think
that Mr.. Cleveland ought to withdraw
from the canvass. and that it will be nee
essary to nominate a western man. He
seems to predicate his opinion on the fact
that by intrigue and departure from
democratic usages the Albany convention
will send delegates TO the Chicago conven-
ton instructed to vote for Hill.
Mr.. Springer intimates that the demo-
cratic party is under obligations to Mr..
Hill for his trickery in calling the New
York convention at so early date, so
that the democrats OF other states NAV
find out what to do. He ignores the fact
that there will be true and honest dem
ocratic convention of the democracy held
in New York, which will put different
aspect on the politics of that state. 1t
will show that Mr.. Cleveland is not to be
disposed of by fraud, intrigue and politi-
CA corruption.
Mr.. Cleveland is the man who ought to
be nominated; and he can be elected
without New York In the event that the
democrats of that state persist in voting
for man who can not carry that state or
any other state in the union.
After years of defeat Mr. Cleveland
brought US victory. He made tariff re-
form the great issue before the people.
He inaugurated an administration of
honesty, economy and accountability, and
without burthening the people he left an
OVERLOOKING treasury; and but for bribery
and political corruption woult have been
elected in 1888. The people know him to
be honest and do not think that it is fair
that some other candidate shall be al
lowed to bank on his political capital. So
far as this part of the state is concerned
it is safe to say that nine-tenths of the
| democrats are in favor of Cleveland

OCCASIONALLY light may be obtained by
putting this and that together. The
Philadelphia Times, reviewing the situa-
ton with its "cold. gray eye." observes:
It must be apparent to. all the friends
OF Senator Hill who are safe from incar-
ceratiOn in a lunatic asylum that HILL has
no more chance for the democratic nomi-
nation for president than has Councilman
WILLIAM MCAIULLEN Of this city. Both
are useful men in politics in their way.
Both accept the same methods, and they
differ only in the degree of eminence
they have attained but while Hill is not
in the race himself he may be a great
factor for evil. and it lie not entirely i'm
possible that he may give the republicans
the next president, as his friends gave
HARRISON the presidency in 1883.
We hardly think that any sane man
who is accustomed to looking beyond his
ward boundaries in politics will question
the accuracy of this statement, or that
Mr.. HILL understands it thoroughly.
What then does he mean by his kodak
convention? His organ, the New York
Sun, explains. 1t concludes one of its bit
ter defamatory articles on ex-President
CLEVELAND with the following:
The political death chair is ready; and
not all the kickings of the condemned
nor all the wailing OF his gang can post
pone the execution
There is the whole situation in nut
shell. The Hill crowd in New York has
no hope of success for itself All it wants

party to put DAVID B. hill into that very

The Albany Convention.

If the convention which met at Albany
on Monday had been held at the usual
time, had been chosen by the usual
methods, and had been, as it was not, a
representative party gathering, its recon-
mendation as to the democratic presidential
nomination would have carried, as it ought
to have done, great weight with the party
throughout the country. We do not say
it would have been conclusive, for we be-
lieve the time has gone by when the
democracy OF even state go important
and powerful as New York could dictate
either nomination or platform to the
national democracy. But the convention
which met at Albany Monday was
not held at the usual time, was
not chosen by the usual methods, and was
not In any sense representative body.

few short months ago could find nothing
too severe 70 say of the street railway
company, and which is now ready to 60 to
any lengths in its defense-says, speaking
of the pending strike:
Officers of the company have daily at
tempted to move the street cars, and they
have been forcibly prevented from doing
it. The mayor declares that 1T Is not the
business of Indianapolis to stop this, but
that the company must swear out indlvid-
ual warrants for itself, and the police, to the
appeal for protection against this forcible
interference with the companys officers
reply, nothing to say" To be consistent
the administration should apologize to the
men it arrested at the last strike and COM
pensate them for the damage. The adj
ministration was either wrong then or it
is wrong now.
1t would be difficult to crowd more mis-
statements into the same space than are
to be found In the foregoing. To begin
with, it is not true that the officers of the
Citizens company have made any serious
effort to move their cars. They have, as a
matter OF fact, been resting on their oars,
and have refused to avail themselves Of
the resources which the law places
in their hands for the operation of their
lines and the protection OF their property.
AS TO the order which the police board
issued six weeks ago, it was simply that
patrolmen should promptly arrest any
person who in any way forcibly or vio-
lently interferes with such officers Lof the
street railway company il such cfsnses are
committed lvithin their rielC." This order, OF
course, holds good today. The police will
arrest persons committing offenses within
their view whether against the street rail-
way company or any other corporation or
citizen. But the police will not be with
drawn from their regular duties to "pfo-
