THE WINNING TICKET.

The chances of the two great parties
in the approaching election are calculat-
ed upon the figures of 1883. But since
then the Democratic tidal wave of 1890
has swept over the country and these
figures are untrustworthy. The latter
figures show that the Democracy can

Mckinley Is Authority.

St. Louis Republic.
In a speech in the house on Sept. 27,
1890, Maj. Mckinley, in presenting the
conference report on the Mckinley bill,
said:
1.-THE metal schedule, which occupies
twenty-five pages of the bill, has re-
ceived earnest consideration because Of
the Importance of the great industries
it represents. Nothing has been done
IN the metal schedule that can result in
loss of business or prestige and nothing
that can call for reduction of wages or
a diminution of the number of working
men employed.
That is to say, Maj. Mckinley, in
order 70 secure the passage of his bill,
assured congress that there was nothing
in the metal schedule, at least, that
could call for reduction of wages.
The author of McKinleyism is therefore
authority for the statement that Carne-
gie's course in reducing the wages of
his workmen at the Homestead Esill is
pnealled Tor and Npjustifable. -

The enemies of Christianity can find
small consolation in this record. More
over, the census of 1890 shows that in
the churches themselves. as well as in
the church societies. there has been
recent growth proportionately greater
than the growth of the population of
the country. In 1880 the total church
membership in this country, including
all denominations, was 9,739, 760. In
1890 it was l2.4S7, 3S2. This is an in

1t is quite likely that the as

The Omaha platform is as strange a
cOnglomerate OF political dreams aud

the keynote of this third party pro-

DAzED N1oLDERs OF OPINION.

The Homestead illustration of what
protection means when it has gone to
seed has had the same demoralizing
and frustrating effect on the gentlemen
who mold opinion for the Republicans
that follows the thrust of sticksamong
the industrious occupants of an ant hill.
They scu1Ty back and forth and cross
their purposes and their explanations,
and are dazed and petulant, utterly at
loss how to avoid the damage 10 their
party which impendS. IE such PAN
icky condition, it is not strange that pa
pers like the Dispatch, which is a veri-
table cat in a strange garnet when it
leaves off discussing schoolmasters and
roasting the gang" and tackles eco
nOmic questions, makes admissions as
astounding as this: 1.-The burden will
rest on the Republican party for its own
safety in this campaign to show that
the facts are distorted in this Home
stead business. 1t will be called on to
convince the country that this blood
shed was not the result of the arrogance
and Indifference of those who have
grown all-powerful through the wealth
which the industrial system of the coun-
try has aided them to accumulate. This
is the conviction that is abroad, and that
conviction tile Republican party can
easily overturn." And then, with de-
licious simplicity. after putting its party
on the defensive in this frank and deci-
sive manner, and as if dimly conscious of
it, it declares sententiunsly that 1.-THE
Republican party cannot afford to take
the defensive at any stage of the coming
campaign" The GLOBE is candidly of
the opinion that the Republican party
will have to take the defensive, whether
it can afford it or not, and it agrees with
its contemporary of the twilight that it's
party ''cannOt afford'' to do it.

"JINGO" CHRISTIANITY.

fhe tendency toward sensationalism
s which has recently made itself manifest
in New York clergymen cannot be too
strongly deprecated. First PARKHURsT,
then RAINSFoRD, and now DIXON court
cheap notoriety through the medium of
sensational pulpit utterances. When it
was only one, or even two of them, the
press and the public were inclined to
view the undignified proceedings wi TIL
tolerant amiability; but now that third
has appearedon the scene, and the thing
threatens to become epidemic, 1t is time
to call halt
This senSationalism cannot be excused
as muscular Christianity 1t is no
more the good, old-fashioned muscular
Christianity of circuit-rider days than it
is intellectual Cilristianity-and its
most eXtravagant apolO2ists can scarcely
call it the latter. 1t is "jingo'' Chris
tianity-a repetition in the pulpit of the
shallow devices of politics. 1t is a
stralning after red-light effects in utter
disregard or the requirements of har-
mony and appropriateness. Christian
1ty tiOurlshes and increases in spite of
1t, not because OF it. 1t does infinitely
more harm than good, for the reason
that, while its ends may be justifiable,
its means are not SO. and tend to lower
the tone of the pulpit. Extraordinary
powers are vested in clergyman, and
great discretion is called for. From his
semi-public position a minister of the
gospel can invite upon himself at will a
more or less general notoriety, but to
do so is almost invariably a prostitution
OF the sacred privileges of the pulpit. If
DR.. PARkHURsr desires to close the
dives Of New York, let him proceed
against them in the courts and the pub
lie press. and not in the place reserved
for the preaching of Gods word to men
and women, and to children, who should
not here, of all places, have the lusts of
the flesh aud the vices of the world OBJ
truded on their innocent minds. If DR..
RAINsFoRD desires to run a temper
ance" grog shop, let him first resign his
clerical office. If DR.. DIXON desires to
deliver political philippics. let him hire
a hall and go at it in the proper way.
There has been enough and too much
of this pulpit ensationalism--this

HOW PROTECTION PROTECTS

If the tariff is of no use in keeping up
wages, what is it good for? The protec-
ZIONIST will answer: cat least it fosters
American industry" Does it? Then
why do such eminent representatives of
protected American industry as Mr..
Carnegie plead that they are compelled
to reduce wages, even i'll those branches
of their business in which they get
labor for less than it costs their Compel
itors in free-trade England?-San Fran
cisco Examiner.
Theoretically the Carnegies appear to
have acted within the cold letter of the
laws, in the making of which capital
has much larger share than labor; but
the root of the evil is to be found in the
false system of taxing the many for the
benefit of the few. 1t is a condition,
however. and not theory. that now
confrOnts the Carnegies and the polit-
zeal party that uphOlds that sys tenn.
How they shall meet it at Homestead
this summer and at the polls next
November remains to be Seen.-LouiS-
vile Times.
Everybody knows that the unwar-
rantable and outrageous tariff has put
Carnegie in position from which he
has thus far been able to rob the con-
sumner of his wares with the one hand
while he strangles the liberty of the
citizen, the manhood of the workman
with the other; and the exhibition he is
now making of his power has been
thrust upon public attention at the
most inoppOrtune time for the party
and is asking the Suffrages of workmen
the country over that it may continue
in office and be able to help the Carne-
gieS everywhere to set their heels more
firmly than ever on the neck of labor.
Brooklyn Citizen.
The situation at Pittsburg reveals the
kindly feelings that through tariff taxa
ton have been established between the
employer and the employed. The works
of the foreigner have been turned into
a fort aud the American wage-earner is
the enemy whose attack is feared. This
is the kind of amity that has been en-
gendered by the tariff between the en-
plOyer, who takes all that he can get,
and the wage-earner, who gets what the
employer is compelled to give him, in
the most thoroughly protected state in
the Union.-New York World.
When the Republican party fastened

A COMPLICATED CASE.

1t transpires that one CLIFFORD IVES
PARSHLEY, who graduated from Wes-
leyan university recently, had been Sc
cretly married for over year. and the
faculty are talking of revoking his de-
gree. 1t is painful to contemplate how
much more unlearned Mr.. PARsHLEY
will be if the degree really is taken
away. However, he will have his great
natural ability to fall back on. If he
had not been an artful benedict, he
pever could have become bachelor Of
arts, which shows that he is good in
either role.
This Dictatorship business, by the
way, raises very perpleXing question.
How can Mr.. PARSHLEY be made q
bachelor of anything when he is any
thing but a bachelor? Even the divorce
courts, which are popularity supposed to
be able to accomplish all possible and
impossible feats of legal legerdemain,
are not able to reconstruct married
man into genuine bachelor: the best
they can do being kind of compro-
mise between festive bachelor and
bereaved widower. If the courts
can't do it, how can the fac
ulty of Wesleyan do it? And
yet they apparently have done it. They
have bachelorized Mr.. PARsHLEY as
sure as fate, and no wonder they feel
like undoing their dreadful work. Not
only is the situation very trying che
for the partner of Mir. PARsHLEY's
hearth and home. but there is new
comer-a fresh sprout of PARsHLEY,. so
to speak-whose future prospects are
concerned. Can the newcomer be con-
sidered bona fde sprig of PARsHLEY
in the face of the fact that its immediate
paternal ancestor has just been bach
elorized? Perhaps the fact that Mr..
PARsHLEY was married man and a
father first. and is only an eX post facto
bachelor, will relieve the tension some
what. But it is very complicated case
any way you look at it, and it presents
brilliant possibilities for all opera bouffe

THE MILK IN A COCOANUT
New York World

New York World.
The controversy between Mr.. Carnegie and
his men has brought out one fact of special
interest.
When the Mckinley bill was IN process Of
formation, under direction of the men who
were to be enriched by it, Mr.. Carnegie Sc
cured the higher protection he desired on
every article manufactured by him except
steel billets.
To that product he assumed contrary
attitude. He did not ask. to have its price
enhanced by an extra duty or to have him
self projected so far as it was concerne
against forei gn competition. On the con
trary. he got the duty on 1t reduced.
1t now appears that the basis of wages in
Mr.. Carnegie's mills is the price Of steel
billets. The lower the price Of steel Mllets
is made by foreign competition, the lower
wage-rate Mr.. Carnegie is able to make for
al kinds of work done in his factories.
Some things explain other Things, as the
reader may have observed.
