a POLITICAL GROUND SWELL.

The rumor is started in New York
from near the Republican headquarters
that there is serious discussion there
of Republican chances in Indiana, Him
OILS, Iowa and Wisconsin. The farmers
are represented as FESTIVE and in need
OF careful handling, while the local sit.
uation is even worse. In Illinois and
Wisconsin, unwise t.nkering at compul-
sorry school laws has alieneated thou
sands of German Lutheran votes and
the Republican State tickets are con-
sidered hopeless.
For this and other reasons a plan is
said to be afoot by Chairman Carter's
committee to abandon the State tickets
to their fate and put every available
power at work to save electoral tickets
for Harrison. While Democrats might
rejoice to believe that such were the
dire Republican straits and such the
policy to be pursued, THE TIMES is forced
to consider this story somewhat fshy.
But the underlying trouble, which gave
foundation to the rumor, exists. There
is serious trouble for the Republican
party, not in the West alone, but all
over the country.
Mr.. Harrison has made fine admin
istrative officer, in many respec is as
good as Mr.. Cleveland, though his ap.
pointments have not been on as high a
plane as those of his Democratic prede-
cessor. But his administration has de-
veloped more centralizing tendencies
than any IN the history of the country
and the masses are against centraliza-
tton. In some cases blindly, in others
with clear vision, the people are, as
Governor Boies, of Iowa, puts it, discus
sing the right of the general govern
ment to tax citizen of one State in or
der to put money in the pocket of cit
izen of another State.
If anyone can judge such matters
from surface indications. there is a
ground swell. from the plain people
which will surprise the politicians of
both parties as to its extent and power.
1t is the belief of THE TINES from pres
ent Indications the Democratic candi-
dates will rec,ive the benefit of the
movement

Avn overoharge OF Dynamite.

William McDt rmott, living on Fifth
avenue n. g., employed colored man
to do some grading in his front yard.
Yesterday morning about nine o'clock
an overcharge of dynamite was put in o
hole drilled in rock and set off. The
explosion was terrific, rocks and dirt
being thrown for considerable dis
tance. The piazza in front of the mouse
was almost entirely torn down, the
walls and plastering of the house were
also damaged to some extent. The
chain gang was at work on the street in
front OF the house Fortunately no one
was hurt.

The Fire Inst Nicht.

An alarm was turned in from box SO
last night at about o'clock. The
fire originated in rear of Kidd's saloon
on Railroad avenue, in q closet in which
boxes had been packed, containing
straw. The origin Of the fire is un-
known, but it was supposed that
matches and rats we're the cause. The
flames were eXtinguished before the ar
rival of the fire companies. The dam
age to the building was very slight.

PRESS COMMENTS.
A Dangerous Precedent.
c Richmond Dispatch

EtC6UGHC
From the Richmond Dispatch.
The supreme court Of New York con-
sists of three Republican judges. 1t is,
Notwithstanding the name, inferior to
the court Of appeals. The recent decis-
ion of that court declaring null and
void the last apportionmenta act and re-
curing the legislature to pass new
law reapportioning representation in
the legislature Of that State would fully
justify distinguished Englishman's re-
cent declaration that free government
based upon universal suffrage has failed
in this country. 1t is a clear case of
usurpation. If allowed 10 stand it will
be followed up by other States, and our
government will soon be burlesque
upon the one our fathers left to US.
The New York case is yet to be passed
upon by the court Of appeals.

A Bad system.


From the Chattanooga Times.
DR.. Joseph Holt, of New Orleans, the
highest authority in the United States
on maritime quarantine,says in letter
on DR.. Reeves, of this city, that the quar-
antine system OF New York is ga gen-
teel compromise between legal theft
and stand up and deliver" and that
when the managers of the system were
called on to do some real sanitary
work they had neither the means
for the work nor would have
known no " to use the means had they
been in their possession. II DR.. Jenkins
is good man, and we are inclined de-
cidedlY to think he is, he is the victim
of a false and rascally excrescense on
the body politio. The remedy for this
iobbery and ineficiency is for Congress
to abolish the whole list of State quar-
antines along the Atlantic, Gulf of Mex
leo and Pacific coasts, and institute an
honest, non political national plan of
protection.

Democracy the Only Political Faith That
Offers to Remedy Legalized Wrong.
From the Des Moncs Qowa) Leader.
Democracy advocates not only the
stoppage of class legislation, but it de-
mands the unconditional repeal of all
legislation that confers privileges upon
certain citizens or class of citizens.
Democracy is the only political faith
that offers rational and adequate rem
edy for legalized wrong. The good in
tentions" and patriotic motives" of our
friends OF the so called Peoples party
will not abolish class legislation. In
stead of advocating the repeal Of class
legislation our Third party friends pro.
pose to enact new and additional Class
laws. No intelligent Democrat will
throw away his vote in q paternalistio
movement no matter how worthy the
motives of its leaders may be. Its phil
osophy is wrong.

The South will Roman Solid.

From the Atlanta (Ga.) Banner.
That the Third party is on the run no

oblivion.
The South will remain true to;her
