THE CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION"

The Presidential campaign, before WI
have become well aware of it, has ad
vanced to the middle of its usual term
Six weeks before an election the GROUND
on which party asks the suffrages of tht
people should be clearly defined. The
candidate of the Democracy has not ye
made it public whether in his opinion the
party is to adopt Calhounism, as declared
in its platform, or revenue tariff with in
cidental protection, or tariff reform witt
moderate protection, and there are wide
Emergencies between the party platform
and party leaders on those points. But
the organs have been less doubtful in pre-.
senting reasons why the people should
vote the Democratic ticket A study OF
their arguments up to date reveals the fol-
lowing grounds for asking the masses to
vote against Protection:
because it has increased the price of
agricultural products.
2-Because it has not increased the price
of agricultural products.
3-Because it has checked the importa-
ton of tin plates
4-Because the importation of tin plates
still continues.
5-Because wages have increased in the
total payments without increasing indi-
vidual rates.
6-BecauSe individual wages have been
advanced in some cases without increasing
the total payments in those cases.
because tin plate factories have
grown up under the Mckinley act.
S-Because no tin plate factories worth
mentioning have grown up under the Nc
Kinley act
9-Because any kind of protection is un-
constitutional.
10-Because a little less of the uncon-
stitutional protection than we now have
would be just the thing.
11-Because ''sham reciprocity" has in
creased trade with the South American
republics; and
12-The Chicago Herald's grand dis
covery that Protection brought the cholera
to this country-though it has not yet ar
rived.
Here are dozen reasons, each calcu-
lated to appeal to the interest of the
voter. No doubt our esteemed Demo-
cratic contemporaries expect to gain the
overwhelming verdict of the voters on
this inclusive view of the situation. But
in urging the free trade cause in this i'm
petuous style thay forget one imminent
contingency. Suppose that the arguments
should get into the hands of the wrong
people. Imagine, for instance, that the
farmers should get hold of the New York
Worlds ferocious attack on the Mckinley
bill because it has put up the price of
agricultural products, and the city worker
should read the Buffalo C0urier's vigorous
assertion that it has not done so. Or sup
pose that both classes should make the
discovery that Democracy is trying to ride
both horses, each going in an opposite di-
rection. Would not the result be that
people might conclude that there is good
deal of humbug in campaign that strad-
dies the fence in that mastery but incon-
sistent style?
1t remains to be seen whether cam
paigns can be won by swearing that a
thing is both black and white, and that
the country is going both up hill and down
at the same time. We admire the vigor
of Democracy in attempting that vigorous
policy, but we have our doubts of its sue

TWELVE PAGES
REGULATION OF IMMIGRATION.

In our telegraphic columns this morning
will be found the views of the Superin-
tendent of immigration on the necessity
for discriminating in the quality of for
eigners entering this country. His plea
for an educational test is good one, but
such test is not all that would be neces-
sary. 1t would, as he says, act as deter
rent to the dirtiness as well as the ignor-
ance which now have free access to Amer
lea
But an educational test would not keep
out the MANNED in body or the criminal in
mind. Present regulations properly en-
forced would be enough to exclude the
former, but the charitable institutions of
the country are frequently called upon to
support aliens who are unable to support
themselves. For the criminals some more
stringent regulation must be found and
rigidly executed America still has
abundant room for the intelligent, the
active and the healthy, but recent events
only accentuate the necessity for prohib-
iting the entrance of the ignorant, the
lazy, the unclean and the plague
spreading.

THE SHREVE SLAUGHTER

A Correspondent Thinks Railroads Run
ing Many Trains Should Double Track.
To the Editor of The Dispatch:
There is one point concerning the late ac-
cident at Shreve, O, on the Fort Wayne
road, that seems to have been overlooked.
as regards the placing of the responsibility,
and that is the question whether the law
should not compel a road that runs the num-
ber of trains the Fort Wayne does to double
track it. At the point the accident oc-
CURED there is only single track, and ac-
cording to Superin ten dent Starr's state
ment, the freight had to lay on the siding
until mail trains had passed. The train
men could easily have made a miscount.
and very likely did. The company should
be compelled to double track their road or
run less trains. W.E. V.

the execution of his orders, 1t is only
natural that their permanency should
reach a sudden end. On the whole, the
situation has changed little since the
Cabinet was formed. Where the parties
are so nearly balanced intrigues were to

Gladstone still lies in the temptation of
the Irish members to throw away the
practical certainty of home rule for the
satisfaction of petty and insignificant, but
none the less irritating, demands.

ADECIDED EXPOSURE,

The latest announcement of the deal
between the Democrats and Peoples
Party in Kansas and Nebraska is interest
ing. The first constitutional scheme by
which General Field was to be elected
Vice President by the Senate having been
knocked into cooked hat by the dis
covery that the Constitution, limiting the
Senatorial choice to the two leading cam
didates, would shut the Peoples Party
man out, that organization has taken
counsel and concluded that it will show
its hand by throwing its vote for Steven
son.
That is the reported complexion of the
last fusion" negotiation. The Presi-
dental ticket to be voted in Kansas and
Nebraska will be for Weaver and Steven
son. The result, if it carries enough votes
to have any effect on the Presidential
election, will be to throw the election of
President into the House, making the
election of Cleveland certain. By such an
arrangement the Peoples Party is put in
the aspect of q tender to the Democratic
ticket. There is no reason why the cleo
toral votes, if they will effect anything,
should not be cast directly for Cleveland.
The result will be exactly the same, and
trouble will be saved by throwing off the
disguise and doing away with the circum-
locution.
But what will the former Repu blican
members of the Peoples Party say to this
direct delivery of their votes to the D emo
cratic candidates? So long as the result
of the utmost possible success of the new
party was to elect Democratic President
and Republican Vice President their atti-
tude was trying enough. They were SIM
ply giving their votes to Democratic
supremacy with a slight saving contin-
gency. But on the reported deal to give
the Democrats all that can be gained they

THE RISK ON RAILROADS.

WEDNESDAY was red-letter day in the
history of railroad accidents. Casualties of
this kind, like the deaths of prominent men,
travel in pairs.-Ohio State Journal
THREE railroad accidents-and all bad
ones-in one day must make people pause
and wonder If anygsystem is perfect that
can be disobeyed BY those under ORDERS
Harrisburg Telegraph.
-FOUR railroad accidents in "a single day
illustrate the old adage that it never rains
but it pours. OF the four, however, only one
was a serious reflection upon those who
caused it.-Philddetphtd Bulletin.
SURELY everything practicable should be
done to insure railroad passengers against
the hideous fate of the poor creatures who
were burned to death early Wednesday
morning near Shreve.-Cleveidnd Leader
PROPER and stringent laws compelling
higher regard for human life, better and
ampler service by public carriers, the eleva-
ton of tracks, etc., will go long way
toward making horrors like those OF Wednes-
day impossible Chicago Glo6s.
THE investigation on the part of the pub
lie that will be made OF the disaster in Ohio
will be less helpful to the public than the
private investigation which the railroad
will institute on its own account and for lts
own information.-Ne,oY York Times.
THERE were two fatal railroad wrecks
Wednesday. One was caused by an engi-
neer misunderstanding his orders: the other
by an engineer disregarding his orders. fne
first engineer should be prosecuted for man
slaughter, the second for murder.-Bu0dto
Express.
IT is time to make trial of scme OF the
automatic electrical devices which eltner
put a danger signal in the way when the
road is obstructed or broken, or automat-
ically shut Off the steam, and thus stop
the train W hen there is danger ahead-Fn"o-
de pItu Ledger.
THE first catastrophe was due to reckless
disregard of orders by an engineer. The
second was the deliberate work OF train
robbers. The last was also occastoned by
careless locomotive hands In each case
the catastrophe could have been averted by
exercise of reasonable vigilance and fore
sight.-Brookiyn Eagle.

WHY LIMIT IT9

The fact that the bid of the Interna-
tional Transportation Company, formerly
| the Inman Line, has been accepted by the
Postmaster General for the carriage of
mails between New York and Southamp-
ton, Havre and Antwerp, and the result
that a contract for the construction of five
new steamers has been awarded to Will
lam Cramp & Sons, and that the City of
Paris and City of New York will soon
hoist the United States flag, is duly an
nounced. Concurrently with this comes
an evidence that the progress of United
States policy in this direction is fluttering
the Volscian dovecots The London Times
perceives in it the necessity for warning
England lest its over-confidence should
lead to the repetition of the experience of
this country in the loss of its mercantile
marine after the war. "England's naval
supremacy" declares the Times, "must
be maintained"
This is good evidence that the policy
adopted in admitting these vessels to
American registry is successful. But
that only gives additional force to the
query put by The DISPATCH at the time
the bill for the admission of the City of
Paris and City of New York was passed.
Why confine the operations of the act to
single corporation? Why surround it
with conditions that bring in two
steamers and the construction of an equal
tonnage and 60 no further? If the
regaining of our former naval standing is
to be pushed to the utmost we must give
all an equal chance. The success which
has attended this step points very clearly
to the propriety of permitting any vessel
owner to put his vessels under
United States registry, on the condition
of constructing an equal tonnage of Amer
ican-bullt vessels.

BIG OFFER REFUSED,
Mr.. Maddox Declines $4,000 for His
Racing Colt King Lee.


Racing Colt King Lee.
LOUISVILLE, Sept %. -[Special.l - Thirty
thousand dollars is large sum of money,
but it was nevertheless refused for 2-year-
old race horse few days ago. James Mad
dox, of this city, is the owner and King Lee
is the horse. The latter reached here from
Latonia yesterday, and was at once sent to
the Scoggan farm, few miles out from the
city. There will he romp in the paddocks
until next spring. Maddox is not O rich
man; he is the contrary. 1t was therefore q
surprise to his friends that he should refuse
SO princely an offer, but he loves the colt as
he would an only son, and he also believes
that he is worth more than the sum offered.
King Lee is entered in $l50O00 worth of
stakes next year, and with average luck his
owner thinks he can capture two-thirds of
them. This is very rosy way of looking at

juncts of Democratic success without any
credit for it We think that the ex-Re-

ern States as the jackal Of Democracy
will restore the former party lines and
give the votes of those States to Harrison.
