THE following extract from sermon
preached by Catholic priest in Detroit
on Sunday preceding the election may
throw some light on the Democratic vic
tory In certain States: "Vote for the DEM
ocratic party. 1t is the party that sup
ports us, and it is our duty to support
the Democratic party. The church is
the voice of God, and the church through
its priests tells you whom to vote for
and whom not to vote for. When the
church needed armed men to enlist as
crusaders the young men of the church
shouldered the musket and saber and
obeyed the order of the church. The
church may have to call on you to de-
fend her rights in this country, and 1
know our young men will obey the
church again and take up arms to ex-
terminate the enemies of the church"

THERE is nothing so injurious to
business as uncertainty. Capital Is shy,
and will not risk itself in unknown
waters. We have now In this country
the spectacle of victorious party di-
vided. One section is honestly in favor
of as soon as possible declaring what
the business of the country may expect,
the other wants no free trade and no
radical change in tariff laws. In the
meantime business is bound to languish.

THE Prohibition vote in this State was
30,500, gain of over 10000 over Ashen-
hurst's vote for Governor, last year, and
a twenty-five per cent. gain over Fiske's
vote four years ago. The party leaders
say that they will start in December to
work for the next campaign, and keep
their orators stumping the State until
next election. If this does not result in
decreased vote, the party may as well
be accepted as an inevitable fact.

WHATEVER may have been the causes
of President Harrison's defeat, there is
no gainsaying the fact that his admin
istration has been as able and pure as
any in the history of the country. During
the time he has occupied the Presidential
chair charges of scandal or corruption
have not even been limited at by the
opposition. Other men might do as
well but none could do better With a
clean record back of him he stands
honored even in defeat.

From the countenances they wore," this was
the mental ejaculation Of the average Republican
in these parts for the few days following the elec-

than his fat brother. He-well he very evidently

THAT under each rank wrong somewhere
There lies the root of right;
That each sorrow has its purpose
By the sorrowing oft unguessed;
But so sure as the sun brings morning,
Whatever is, is best
And endorsing her views throughout, the stanza
following ought to strike terror to the hearts Of
''We know that each sinful action,
AS sure as the night brings shade,
Is somewhere, sometime punished,
Though the hour be long delayed"
So they are willing to give this now full-fedged
its four years limit to bring vengeance on its own
head.
