WHAT THEYMAY EXPECT.

The Democratic organs are welcoming
with effusion the accession of Judge
Gresham and Wayne MacVeagh to the sup
port of Mr.. Cleveland These gentlemen
are now spoken of in the highest terms by
Democracy; but experience should teach
them that this complimentary frame of
mind will only last during the campaign.
Eight years ago there was considerable
amount OF mugwumping. The fact that
some people believed that element to have
turned the scale in favor of Cleveland only
made the Democratic mind more jealous
of it The idea that the Mugwumps
might obtain a share of the offices which
were regarded as spoils sacred to the
Democratic faithful was an unmitgated
horror to the Bourbon. If there was any
class more anathematized of Democracy
than the regular Republicans it was
that composed of the Mugwumps who
had aided the Democracy to their
sole national victory for a quarter of a
century. The vituperation of the Mug
wumps by the Democrats has continued
ever since with only the necessary inter
mission during the national campaigns,
when their votes were needed
Judge Gresham and Mr.. MacVeagh are
the Mugwumps of this year. They are
highly lauded by their new friends at
present; but they know what to expect
If the Democrats should win victory by
their aid the Democratic organs may be
expected to reward them with the same
scorn and dislike that have been visited on
their predecessors of 1884

THE CURE FOR oUTLAwRY,

The citizens of CoffeyviIle, Kan, yester-
day adopted the right method to suppress
bank robberies. 1t consisted of all the cit
izens getting out their shotguns and
shooting down the lawbreakers on sight.
The robbers had a temporary success, but
the citizens were aroused, and as result
the Dalton gang is about as completely
wiped out as tine Cooley crowd 1t is
necessary to mourn the death of five citi-
zens who were shot in defending the law.
As government by law is impossible ex-
cept by fighting the outlaws who try to
override it roughshod, these men died as
patriotic death as if they had been fight
ing in the ranks of an army against the
foreign enemies of their country.
This is the only way to put down such
violent and defiant crime. The outlaws
have been presuming on the normally
pacific condition of the people for success
in their raids; but now that they are be-
ing shot down in Kansas and PenTsylva-
mia their imitators will very promptly
learn the wisdom Of respecting other peo-
pies rights.

NO FLAG FOR FIT. SUMTER.

1t Is Abandoned as War Barracks and
no Ensign Can Float There.
WAsHIN GToN, Oct 5.-[Specta, ]-During the
recent Grand Army Encampment in this
city an enthusiastic veteran introduced a
resolution ca ling upon the Secretary OF
War to hoist an American fiat over Fort
Sumter, in Charleston harbor. In the ex-
citement OF the moment tho resolution went
through without opposition or investiga-
tion. At the War Department. to-day the
Chief of Engineers, who has charge of the
Government fortifi cations, was questioned
on the subject. He says the Secretary of
War has not yet complied with the resolu-
tion, nor is it likely that he will. The army
regulations provide that the Union flag shall
be displayed at military forts and fortifica-
ttons that are garrisoned or occupied. FIT.
Sumter Is neither garrisoned nor occupie d,
and therefore the Secretary OF War has no
authority to float flag over the old fortress
unless he is prepared to garrison it with
troops. In further explanation OF the nom
appearance of a flag at Fs. Sumter and other
practically abandoned forts, the engineer
officers say that serious foreign complica-
tions might arise If the resolution adopted
by the G. A. X. encampment is carried out.
For instance, if the flag was holsted over
Ft. Sumter foreign warsntp might visit
the harbor of Charleston, In accordance
with the naval regulations of the world the
foreign ships would salute the American
flag, and expect q similar salute in return.
the foreigner could not be expected to
know that Ft. Sumter is unoccupied and
was simply floating its country's flag as a
matter of sentiment. Not having his salute
acknowledged the foreigner would be justi-
fed in charging this country with discour-
tesy, and would have a right to demand an
explanation. The Ordnance Sergeant sta
toned there could hardly return foreign
warship's salute with an old lnusket or re-
IN ha hnN vii Il, In hfry1
in his quarters as u matter of personal pro-
lection. When the Secretary of War re- fers
the resolution to the Chief OF Engineers he
will probably receive an answer containing
the substance of the foregoing statement.

TENNYSON,S CLAIMS.

One of England'S greatest men is gradu-
ally losing his grasp of a long life well
used. Alfred Tennyson-forg genius needs
no handle to add Iuster 10 its possessor's
name-is so iii that bis recovery is out of
the question, and his early release is to be
expected. Long hence he will be remem-
bered as one of the most notable men of
the century. His fame will be based on
the beauty of his diction, the music of his
verse and the power of description which
came from calm but keen observation.
His calling was not to startle the world
with new theories of life or of philosophy,
not to lead the people of his day into
fields unknown and strange to them, but
to gorify the surroundings of their daily
life, to call attention to the features of
grandeur in the present, and to hymn the
praises of man as nan is, and nature as it
surrounds him.
His official position as Poet Laureate
was rather hindrance than a help to
him, for the best of poetry must come
spontaneously, as it cannot do if it have to
appear at set seasons, whether the inspira-
tion be there or not The acceptance OF
me ioVe1 iOAS uiSdIDJoiuUtu Hdlly Vi HIS
warmest admirers, for the poet of the
people seemed to lose some of his individ-
uality by adopting aristocratic rank. And
yet, if the comforting of rank mean any,
thing as reward for real merit, Tenny-
son had done more than enough to
brighten the. lives of his fellows to Justify
his acceptance of the prize. The reclusive
habits of his life, especially during its
later years, brought him many unkind
criticisms, but were only the natural out
come of sensitive nature which shrank
from the boorish intrudence of inconsider-
ate persons.
This year has made many gaps in the
world of letters, and Tennyson's place
will take long to fill. Indeed, much of his
work Is such as TO keep his memory green
whoever succeeds him, and it will prob
ably occupy lofty niche in the classics of
the English language so long as that
medium of thought endures. Not as the
romancer of NEUROLOGICAL heroes, not as
the singer of royal woes and JOYS, but as
the beautifyer of the commonplace and
the depictor of Gods work in man and
all creation will Alfred Tennyson main
tain his place as the poet of the Victorian

A SATISFACTORY SHAM.

Our Democratic friends have renewed
reasons to revile the statisticians. The
most crushing reply to their platform de-
nunciation of ''sham reciprocity is given
by the statistics of exports under the new
law. We do not know whether the
Bureau of American Republics will be
prosecution by the Democratic campaign
committees or not; but, judging by the
Peck precedent, it appears to have been
guilty of what Peck committed, in the
first degree. Here are the statistics which
it publishes of the imports at the port of
Havana from the United States in the first
seven months of 1892 as compared with
the same period of 1891:

If the income from the Office of Secre-

profit from that very easy position exceeds
that of the Governor, of the Justices Of

1t would entail delay of two weeks in the
beginning of the term. The october term
begins next Monday, Before adjournment
on Monday, however, the Chief Justice will
announce some order of the court for the i'm
mediate future. 1t is probable the call for
argument of cases will begin the following
day, Tuesday. The most important cases set
for this term involve the title to the lake
front of Chicago. They have been assigned
for argument october II, but there is a dis
position to hear them at the earliest moment
possible.

to the late Chief Justice Bradley, Is expected
to be inducted into office Monday. Some of

Sans Drain on Them.
TORONTO. ONT, Oct 5.-GSpecfal.1 IA meet
ing was held in Innerkip, Oxford county,
yesterday, to discuss the question of free
dom of speech in connection with the dis
missal of County Crown Attorney Meyer
by Sir Oliver Mourat, Liberal Premier of
Ontario because the former was working to
forward the efforts OF the annexationist
party in Canada. Goldwin Smith was
among the speakers. He said the whole
country was either at a standstill or declin-
ing in prosperity under the existing politi-
cal condition. He said there was a drain on
Canada's population continually going on
by her people leaving for the United States,
and that he was informed by the American
consul he had nothing to do but to forward
Canadians across the line. No community
could bear such drain.
Meyer explained how he had come to te

neXation, and resolution was passed that

ference with freedom of speech in regard
to the question OF our national future before

affected by the reciprocity provision which
