Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-11-05
AN OLD EXCUSE FOR DEFEAT.

1t has been customary heretofore for the
Democracy after they have undergone
national defeat to raise the cry OF
"money" and corruption" The indus
try and variety with which they are in
dulging in that howl before the election
this year has significance which perhaps
our Democratic friends have overlooked.
The persistence with which the Demo-
Gratis, from the Presidential candidate
down to the New York World, insist that
the Republicans are going to buy the
election away from them argues a premc-
milton of defeat and the desire to furnish
the explanation of it in advance. The
stories of corruption funds are presented
without the slightest foundation of
evidence, and as fast as one is denied an
other is supplied with changed names
and increased amounts. While the
roorback mongers started out with tens
and hundreds of thousands they are now
satisfied with nothing less than hundreds
of,.thousands and millions. The persist
ence and slight variety of these inventions
would be noticeable if they were not cast
in the shade by the fact that the Democ-
feat before the defeat has been inflicted.
While this is departure from the usual
Democratic procedure there is probably
some method in it. The usual course of
raising the cry of "boodle" after the defeat
has been soothing to the Democratic feel
ings, but it was too plainly the result of
spiteful disappointment to have any gen.
eral effect. By announcing that they are
to be defeated by money in advance of the
election perhaps the Democrats hope to
secure some credence for their oft-told
tale. =.
In addition, the horror of the party,
which first impaired the systematic use of
money into national politics, and whose
stronghold in New York is the seat of the
most venal politics on the continent, at
the alleged Republican Doodle would be
very amusing if 1t we're not for its
effrOntery.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-11-05
CRABL1KE PROGREssIvENEss.

The Buffalo Inquirer quotes ex-Gov-
ernor Daniel 81. Chamberlain, formerly of
South Carolina, and also Republican in
times past, as authority to the effect that
the Democratic party is now the worthiest
of the two parties as the party of progress.
Since Daniel 81. Chamberlain has been in
past years universally declared by the
Democratic press to be carpet-bagger
and political adventurer, it is a novelty to
find him set up as prophet. If about
fifty per cent of what the Democratic Or
gans have said of Chamberlain can be ac-
cepted as true, what he asserts party to
be can be taken as proof presumptive that
it is exactly the opposite.
Fortunately the matter thus mooted can
be settled by a reference to the facts
without trusting to the negative effect of
Governor Chamberlain's assertions. There
was time when it was permitted to hope
that the Democracy would become pro-
gressive. But since it has adopted Cal
hounism for its tariff views and wildcat
currency as its idea on the money question,
its progressiveness Is evidently like that of
the crab,' which advances backwards.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-11-05
AN ORGANS STAB AT ITS PARTY,

Another Democratic free trade organ
has fallen into the pit of its own antagon-
ism to protection. The New York Daily
on ham, eggs, beef, oatmeal, potatoes
and other agricultural products. 1t there
upon proceeds to inform its readers that
the cost of food is increased by the
amount of the duty. 1t specifically as
sures the housewives that if there was not
duty Of five cents pound on ham that
article could be purchased exactly five
cents pound cheaper. As the whole
sale price of ham is about 12c, this, it will
be perceived, would make very cheap
ham.
So far SO good. But the esteemed New
York Nesos with this assertion lays out in
the frigioity of death the stock Democratic
assertion that the great farming interest
gets no benefit from protection.
If the price of ham could be five
cents lower without protection it
is plain that the American farmer
would be obliged to take just five cents a
pound less for his ham in the raw mater
ial. Now, if about one-fourth of the Demo-
cratic assertions concerning the oppression
of the farmer can be taken as truth, the
amount which the Neaos-which we be-
Ieve is the organ of that personal friend
of both Cleveland and Hill, Senator and
General W. L. Brown-proposes to SUBJ
tract from their income by the abolition of
the duties on their products would reduce
them to utter want.
The time is too late to do anything now.
Otherwise we would suggest to our Demo-
cratic friends the necessity of calling
national convention, which, besides
amending the platform SO that their can
didate can stand on it, should settle for

IMPROVED POLICE WORK.

The report that the police have in Gus
tody the gang of burglars that has been
plundering the East End for some time is
encouraging. 1t is to be hoped that the
belief that the robbers are safely under
lock and key may prove true, both for the
safety of life and property and as graft
fying demonstration of improved police
| efficiency.
For some years the prevalence of burg
larieS throughout the city was accom-
panied by practical confession of inabil-
lty of the police to stop them. At least
that was the most charitable way to ac-
count for the fact that the burglaries
went on without either recovery of the
stolen articles or the apprehension of the
thieves. Many excuses were available for
this failure, prominent among them the
wide extent of the residence wards and
the long beats allotted to policemen. The
fact remained, however, that the police
system, for the support of which the peo-
pie paid, failed in its primary function of
protecting the homes of the citizens.
The first evidence of departure from
this rule of ineficiency was in the trage-
dies which accompanied the breaking up
of the Fitzsimmons gang. Following this
there have been several other practical
notifications to the burglariouS gentry
that they cannot pursue their industry in
Pittsburg without hazard of capture If
the additional demonstration is afforded
of capturing whole gang of burglars
after comparatively brief career, that
profession will be apt to come to the con-
clusion that Pittsburg is not a favorable
field for their enterprise. If the police
provide adequate protection Of the homes
of citizens from burglars they will score
an important and honorable success.

A REPUBLICAN AUGURY.

1t is comforting to find the New York
Herald carefully canvassing the political
situation in New York and coming to the
conclusion that Cleveland has by far the
best OF the fight. This is most hopeful
augury. Every four years almost since
the memory of man runneth not to the
contrary, the Herald has come out in the
last week before the election with pre-
diction inspired by firm conviction that
the ticket to which it gives its favor Is
going to win. And with about one ex-
ception it took just week to demonstrate
the fact that the Herald had got down on
the wrong side of the fence. Its political
prophecies are like Virgins outlines of
future weather-excellent things to cop
per- If it can be induced to abstain
from predicting Republican success till
next Wednesday the prospects for the
party will be entirely roseate.
