Owens Peculiar View.

S. NJ. Owen says with reference to the
election some curious things. He says
the situation is analogous to the condi-
tions between 1859 and 1860. There is
no analogy. The Wing party was killed
off in 1852. The other old party lived
on eight years to have its eyes put out
and its feet put in the stocks by the up
rising of the strong moral element Of
the nation against it, because it had been
the ally of the slave power. The third
party Of to-day is composed of different
material. It is a class party without high
moral purpose, seeking class legislation
seeking power by Misrepresentation and
false pretense. There is not particle Of
analogy between the Republican party
and the Populists. But Mr.. Owen thinks
the parties are so nearly alike or would
be, after a little ssreadjustment," that
the Republican party may become the
party Of the Populists. Mr.. Owen does 7
not explain exactly what kind of a ire
adjustment this is to be, but he is de-
#ceiying himself. The Republican party
is not and never will be the party of
John Law finance and free trade and of
single class. It is the party of the
people and when the people have stopped

Last evening at six s'etsck at the home
iof Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Scherer there was
solemnized the marriage of their daugh-
ter Emma to Mr. Paul Voss. About fif-
ty guests were present and the ceremony
was performed in a pleasing manner, the
Misses Allie Scherer and Ella Setter at
tending the bride, and Mr.. Robert Scher-
er and Dir. w. g. Koch attending the
groom. After the nuptiai knot had
been tied, an elegant repast was served
and the remainder of the evening was
spent in social conversation and congrat-
sulations.
To the young couple, the Review ex-
tends best wishes. Both are deserving
thereof and both, we are confident, will
enjoy the same. The groom, Mr.. Voss,
is a young man Of good qualities and the
fact that large circle Of ac-
quaintances entertain for him re-
spect is evidence Of his worth. He is.
a miller by trade and is an expert in his
line.
# The bride is the daughter of two Of our
oldest and most respected settlers, and
she has already acquired for herself a So
cial position that is enviable. It is with
pleasure therefore that we offer our heart
lest congratulations.

WHAT LAT QUAY THINKS
he isof the Opinion That Harrison Will be
Elected Four Y ears from Now.

a Washington dispatch Of Sunday goes
| as follows { Senator Quay passed through
Washington last evening and to per
tsonal newspaper friend had the follow
ing to say Of the recent election:
q believe that the Republican party
should not yield one inch in its theories
as to the Benefits Of the protective tariff.
Iabelieve, too, that the bills passed by
the last house placing wool on the free
list and reducing the duties on woolen
manufactures and removing the duties
from tin-plate, binding twine cotton ties
and cotton bagging and from machinery
used in the manufacture of cotton bag
ging, all of which are now in the senate
finance committee, should be retained in
that committee, and not reported. In
fact, / believe they will not be reported.
If the business interests of the country
are anxious to know what scheme of
legislation awaits them it is the duty Of
the Democratic house as soon as it meets
il December to frame general bill in
sdicating in a broad and definite form just
what the revenue policy of the next ad-
ministration.is to be-
..Do you think, senator, that MI Clevc-
land will call an extra session of con
;gress next Aarch?''
No, I do not. One reason for Mr..
GIeveland's election is that he is estilnat-
ed as a conservative. man. He is not
likely to be dragged by the more radical
and revolutionary element Of his party
into frightening at the very outset the
people who have believed in his consery-
atism. It may perhaps be too soon to
speak 50 positively, but really cannot
believe that there will be any extra ses-
sion of congress beyond the executive
sessionxof the senate to confirm the most
important appointments"
Speaking in the most general terms,
what do you think Of the future Of the
Republican party,!"
.;5lA g gu may say that I consider nothing
more probable than that four years
hence there viii be an exact reversal Of
the popular verdict of 1892 and that. as
in 1888, MI. Harrison will succeed Nr
Cleveland in the presidency. The people
had four years Of Cleveland once and
they had enough. AsI said before, Mr..
Cleveland's denomination while he still
held the presidential office made it easier
for the Republican party to succeed.
Four years hence, after wages have been
reduced and after the enormous cost OF
labor strikes have been charged to the
party in power, it may be that the peo-
pie will demand the denomination and
reelection of Gen. Harrison.

Judges Buck and Canty have been
elected to the supreme bench to succeed
Judges Dickinson and Vanderburgh. In
this respect at least the election proved
a mistake, in that it has not only pulled
the judiciary into politics but removed
two good men from non partisan office
to make room for men who are utterly
unsAuipped for such high positions.

Ten oreleven times in its history has
theAme-ican nation changed its economic
policy. The principle of protection
which was the dominant factor during
the first twelve years of the national life,
and also during the last thirty two, has
been cast aside at times; but aftersattend-
ing comparatively brief term at the
hard school Of experience, our people
haYe invariably returned to this policy.
APhe Democratic party has been in partial

years In more than quarter of century,

four years Of power. A dose of adversi-
