THE NEW CHAIRMAN.
An Able Manager for the Republics
Campaign.

An ADle manager tne hepuDltCeu
Campaign.
No better selection of a chairman of
the republican national committee
could have been made.
The man who will assume charge of
President Harrison's campaign proved
his genius for political management by
his conduct of the presidents canvass
at Minneapolis. 1t was the genius of
Thomas Ii. Carter for practical politi-
cal work that formed, disciplined and
solidified the Harrison following in the
national convention and successfully
directed its operations.
1t is eminently fitting that the con-
troll of the machinery of the republic
an organization should be in the hands
of a man who is recognized as warm,
personal friend of the president, su-
premely devoted to his interests, and it
is no disparagement of other Harrison
leaders at Minneapolis and entirely
within the bounds of moderation to say
that Thomas II. Carter is the best Sc
lection which could have been made.
Indeed, among the republicans who
favored the nomination of some other
man than the president, it is doubtful
if, with the exception of Messrs. Clark
son and Quay, another could be found
who would meet the demands of the
responsible position of chairman so
thoroughly as does Mr.. Carter. He
possesses youth, strength of mind and
body, shrewd Judgment, executive ca
pacity, political experience, genius for

to signify everything from absolute
free trade to absolute protection. The
true explanation can be given in one
word: ''Spoils. ."-Albaay Journal.
u During the last year OF Cleve-
lands administration the free imports
amounted to S254, ,ag4, 23S, or 34.65 per
cent of the total imports for the period
During the corresponding twelve
months of Harrison's administration,
ending March 81, 1892, the free imports
amounted to s461, AS, ,523, or 51.13 per
cent OF all the imports for the period.

e The democratic papers have a
great deal to say about the bad effect
of protection. They denouncc it in the
most abusive glittering generalities.
There is something they have all the
time neglected to do and that is to show
how free trade would relieve the indus
trial situation. Cheaper steel? But
that would mean still lower wages and
would mean 4 multiplication of strikes.
Iowa State Register.
CS Here is a question we wish the
anarchistic democratic papers, which
have been raising such howl over the
Homestead affair, to answer: "If a
small reduction in the wages of few
thousand men in one trade causes so
great commotion, what would be the
effect OF great cut, first, in the pay of
millions of men engaged in all the pro-
tected industries in the United States;
and, second, in that of the multitudes
OF men employed in building trades,
transportation and other business,
which would surely follow the adoption
OF the democratic free trade policy?"--

Verdict Fixing the Killings on the Locked
Out WOrlsmen.
PITTsBURGH, Pa. Aug. 4.-The in
quest into the deaths resulting from
, the riots at Homestead was concluded
| yesterday afternoon before Coroner Nc
DowelL The jury was out an hour be-
fore their verdict was returned.
| At 4:40 the verdict was rendered
! The return in the cases of the seven
! strikers who were killed reads al
| most alike in each case. That on
the death of Silas Wayne, says that
he came to his death while in company
| of others in unlawful assembly upon
the property of Carnegie, Phipps GS Co. 8
steel works, Miffin township, to prevent
the landing of two model barges, loaded
with Pinkerton guards to protect said
property, and being struck from
/ missile from cannon, which
had been taken by said unlawful assem-
bly, to the Pittsburgh side of the MOnOn-
gahela river and discharged by them,
striking and instantly killing the said
Silas Wayne, and we recommend the
said unlawful assembly to be certified
to the September session of the grand
jury"
In the cases of three Pin1erton men
similar returns were made in each. In
the case of o. J. Conners it was caused
from shock and exhaustion, due TO gum
shot wound in the right arm, ne being
shot by a ball from an unlawful assem-
blage and that said shooting was dOne
by party or parties unknown with
felOniOus intent, and we recon-
mend that said unlawful assemblage
be certified 10 the September sessions
of the grand jury"
Noattempt was made by the jury in any
of the ten cases to designate the person
by whom the fatal shots were fired,
further than to declare that there was
an unlawful assemblage on the Car
negie property, which led to battle.

THE CHOLERA
The Plague Is Making Rapid Progress In
Notwithstanding In Asia.


ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 4-Cholera has
appeared in the government of Kuerk
in the southern part of European Russia
1t is the most densely populated of any
government in Russia, having an area
of 1882 square miles and population
of about 2,OOO, 900 persons. The surface
is very fertile and is nearly all occupied
in agriculture.
The epidemic continues to increase
in Asiatic Russia. In TObolsk, the
most western government of Russia,
embracing all its width from the CEN
trail Asiatic provinces to the Arctic
ocean, fifty new cases and thirty-nine
| deaths were reported on the 1st inst.
The cholera is making rapid strides
at Mini NOvgorod and the merchants
and traders there are fleeing from the
great fair, abandoning their goods in
| dismay. The deaths from cholera at
NovgorOd average eighty q day The
| hospital accommodations are wretched-
| ly insufficient for the sick and another
hospital building is being erected with
| the greatest haste A state of siege
| has been declared and the military have
taken entire control
After the suppression of the riots in
| Tashkend several thousand insurgents
| fled from the city and tried to cross
| Into Ferghana, but they were repulsed
by the local troops. The insurrection
has spread TO Ferghana and the posi-
| tiOn of the Russians there is critical
as they do not possess sufficient men to
cope with the insurgents. The COVER
nor general of Turkestan refuses to send
reinforcements TO Ferghana as there
are fears for the security of Tashlsend,
where the Moslems threaten to revolt.
1t has transpired that the Tashkend
riots were not due solely to cholera, but
they were partly due to religious excite
ment caused by orders from the COVER
nor interfering with rites in the
mosques

4 Democrntic DecIaratIon.

The democratic platform this year de-
clares protection unconstitutional This
is nothing new. as democratic platforms
have always declared something uncon-
stitutional In 1861 it was unconstitu-
tional to send relief to the garrison in
Fort Sumter. In the same year it was
unconstitutional 10 try to break down
the secession fence, and it was uncon-
stitutonal for United States troops to
march through Baltimore on their
way to Washington. In 1862 it was
unconstitutional for President Lin
coin to emancipate the slaves.
In 1868 it was unconstitutional TO
suppress the copperhead newspapers.
In 1854 everything the government did
was unconstitutional and the war was
failure. In 1879 resumption of specie
payment was unconstitutional II was
unconstitutional To amend the constitu-
tion. But the government went ahead
and did all these things and the democ-
racv accepted them. The party had to
declare something Uncorstitutional this
year, and the Mckinley bill, which had
been passed upon by the supreme court,
was the victim. After it has been fully
indorsed by the people in November
the democrats VIII claim that was what
they wanted.-ChicagO Inter Ocean.

CLEvELAND'S SENTIMENTS.
Trying to Manufacture Issues by False
Pretenses.


Cleveland's speech accepting the
democratic nomination for the presi-
deucy reiterates the sentiments of his
celebrated free trade message, which
caused his defeat four years ago He
stands now just where he stood then,
contending that the present tariff sys-
tenn is practically process of robbery
by which many are despoiled to en-
rich the few. 1T demands from the
consumers in the purchase of the COM
forts and necessities of life" he de-
clares, ''an amount scarcely met by the
wages of hard and steady TOLL" and vet
it Is a well-known fact that in no other
country in the world is the cost of liv-
ing so cheap and the rewards of labor
so large. He refers to the Homestead
strike as a mockery of the hopes of the
workingmen under the policy of pro-
lection; but the testimony shows that
the men engaged in that movement
have been receiving more pay than any
other class of laborers here or else
where, and that they are not asking
for any reduction of tariff duties. 1t is
manifest folly to talk about forced
contributions from the income of the
masses for the benefit of individual
citizens or corporations when the sta
tistics prove that the measure of gen.
eral prosperity exceeds the gains of
capital IN any line of productive invest
ment. The people cannot be made to
believe that they are being impover-
ished by the tariff law when its OBJ
yiouS tendency is to reduce the prices
OF the things that they buy and to in
crease the prices of the things that they
sell. Their OWE daily experience teaches
them, in short, thai protection is profit
able, and that free trade would be dis
sstrous
The only other topic upon which this
uncandid and misleading speech spe-
officially dwells is that of the alleged
purpose OF the republican party to reg
ulate state suffrage by federal 1egisla-
ton. There is no issue of that kind
before the country. Nobody is propos-
ing to usurp or destroy the right of each
state to manage its own affairs in that
respect, subject only to the positive
limitations of the constitution of the
United States The republican party
is IN favor of free and honest elections,
In the north as well as in the south, and
that is all 1t is not threatening to es-
