The Force Bill Candidate.

Our esteemed Republican contemporary
the Philadelphia Press. noticing joyfuly tho
howl for the Force bill that goes up from
the Republican State Conventions. makes
these observations which we commend to
the earnest attention OF such Democratic
newspapers OF the South rs are still labor
ing to have the Democratic party take the
straight and sure road to defeat:
"The Democrats doubtless ina ined that tho Republic
cans would abandon this issue the Force bin when
the Elections bill defeated In 1891 through the
treachery Of n few Republican senators They never
made n worse miscaculaton in their lives. The Re-
publican party will aband this question so long
as remains true to its prnci II might as well
have boon claimed that the party would abandon ts
opposition to slavery or Its support Of the Government
in the Of the rebellion or Its advocacy OF an honest
dollar when the triumph Of greenback imitation seemed
almost assured. The Democratic party was as solid In
support every OF those hercscs as 1t Is now in
support Of the mons;rous crimes on the ballot box.
but the Republican party never ceased to battle with
them until 1t left them conquered and dead on the ne!d
Another Republican Congress. with an
other Republican President, will mean an
other Force bill; at any rate. another sea-
son OF alarm to the business and political
interests OF the South. Only by the skin OF
It's teeth did the South escape that danger
In lS9O-9l. Does the South onjoy the excite
ment OF the thing and want it kept up2
It is Indispensable to tho South that n
Democratic President should DO elected.
and it cannot afford to indulge in any per-
eonal whims orprejudices in tho matter. 1t
is sufficient for the Southern Democrats
that the candidate DO man who can
carry the doubtful States Of the North as
we'll as tho sure Democratic States. A can
didate who. for any reason. seems not to
suit this description must be ruled out.
Therefore any Southern Democrat who
seeks the denomination OF person who has
shown his inability to carry the State OF
New York Is laboring, unconsciously and
innocently. but no less evidently. for the
election OF Republican President and for
the passage OF a Force bill.
GROVER CLEVELAND is the logical Force
bill candidate. II anybody in the South
wants the 1888 Dead Weight Candidate. with
a Force bill attachment. anybody knows
where to find him.

AFFORD to wait for that outcome OF the pres
ent discussion, no matter how long 1t may
be delayed. With the Canadians the case
Is very different. The longer they are in
reaching the decision. the worse their state
will become. Tho longer annexation is de-
layed the more certain it is to occur.
II isa measure Of sclf-prcservation for the
Canadians. II they remain too long as
they are. they will be starved out. They
will have less population and more debt to
bring in than they have now. With the ex-
ception OF Manitoba. the Dominion Is fall
ing back rather than going ahead. large
part OF the most enterprislng OF the inhab-
itants OF the older provinces have passed
over to us already. and the stream OF en-
igrntion Is pouring hitherwnrd IN undl-
unfinished volume. so that 1t cannot DO
long before there are moro Canadians here
than in tho Dominion itself. with Its total
population OF less than five millions.
Under such circumstances tho discussion
Of the question Of annexation has now falrly
begun In Canada. and 1t must become
controlling issue in Canadian politics In the
near future The bitterer the present OPP
position to candidates who risk their cleo
ton by favoring Continental Union. the
surer will DO their ultimate triumph. The
attention Of tho people will be attracted to
the subject, and arguments which they may
now reject from unreasonable sentiment.
they will soon learn to examine with cool
heads and with sound judgment rs TO their
practical interests.
II man is running feeble and hope
less competition with strong and prosper
Gus ncighboring concern. into which he has
the opportunity to be admitted as partner.
no may hold out long from mere stubborn
ness. but eventually his self-interest will
conquer his sclf-will. and he will give up
the useless battle.

An Old Republicans List.

Mr.. JOSEPH A. NUNEZ OF this town writes
an open letter to the delegates to the Re-
publican National Convention. He describes
himself us one Of the organizers Of the party
in 1856. and the President OF the first Re-
publican State Convention in California.
He has been active in every Presidential
campaign since 1856. In 1855. as Mr.. NUNEz
informs the public, he spoke by request of
the Republican National Committee In New
York. New Jersey. Connecticut. and New
Hampshire. and his services were warmly
commended by the party leaders.
With this little preface OF self-introduc-
ton Mr.. NUNEz appears in print to say that
he will pitch In and help elect either BLAINE.
GRESHAM, SHERMAN, MCKINLEY. Ton REED.
CULLoM. ALLISON. MORTON. DEpEw. WHITE
LAW REID. ROBERT T. LINCOLN. or even
RUSSELL ABSENT ALGER. He regards
BLAINE rs the most desirable candidate, il
BLAINE would or could only accept and
after him he puts Bob LINCOLN. ROBERT

The popularity OF Mr.. NuNEzs list OF
statesmen available to the Republican party
this year will at once be observed II omits
the name OF the Hon. BENJAMIN HARRISON
OF Indiana. The omission is not accidental,
for the author Of the interesting document
which we are considering goes on to say:
III nominated. Mr.. HARRISON could even carry his
own State. Indiana, and in the whole Union he could
not carry twelve States. Not twelve S;ates How sui
cidai then would 1t be to nominate him. with him as

inflicted on tho country ms the next President
e shall again buckle on my armor under any other
leader than BENJAMIN HARRISON but will not conspre
with the irony Of fate by making grotesque attempt
at striding to victory under the melancholy music Of
the Dead March"
Mr.. NUNEz is probably right in his con-
viction that il tho Democracy dominates

be conspirng with the irony OF fate to

Pan-Amcricanism has been responsible
for several 1ueer projects in recent years. and
tho latest OF them is tho proposed incorpora-
ton OF a Pan American Naval and Marine In.
stitute. The object Of this institution as en-
planned by n bill pending in Congress is, "the
promotion OF education on tho American con-
tinent and in the United States. and especially
scientific. literary, moral. physical. maritime.
nautical. naval. and astronomical and manual
training OF youths from all the countries in
North. Central and South America in naval.
steam. civil and electrical engineering. and in
maritime architecture. navigation. seaman
ship. marine engineering. coast surveying
and defence. and all other subjects pertaining
to the development and training OF naval and
maritime officers. and the promotion OF an In
ternational interchange OF commerce between
the several countries OF tho American CONT
nent." Thisvoluminous statement is followed
by n curious provision that tho officers and
pupils. II from the United States. shall BE- sub
jcct to service In the naval reserve. on condi-
ton that tho President Of the institute shall
be Commodore. tho professors Captains.
and the graduating cadets Ensigns. There
is no crying need for such project. which Is
an example Of the useless legislation sought
from tmo to time on the supposition that it
Is helped by being Pan-American.

Darius and tho Mayor of Chicago.

In the message read to the City Council OF
Chicago last Monday night by the Hon.
HEMPsTEAD WAsHBURNE. Mayor OF that
town, occurs this PASSAGE:
"Then. and then only we hope to view the mil.
lennium: until then turn back the tide
Of mans passions by than could DARIUS turn back
the advancing ocean by his command
In our esteemed contemporary. the Chicago
Times. the name OF the gentleman who tried
to make tho ocean take back water Is given
as "DURIUs." but comparison of other
reports satisfies us that Mayor WAsHBURNE
wrote DARIUS. We knew he smoked ciga-
rettes. for the Chicago Herald has long been
in tho habit OF rebuking him therefor. but
We had not known that he was a scholar in
politics. The remark about DARIUS seems to
have attracted no attention In the Council.
and yet 1t was n remark of singular interest
and novelty. If the Chicago Aldermen had
the slightest appreciation OF the historical
insight and the profound learning shown by
the Mayorin his brief reference to DARIUS.
they would have invited his Honor to nd
dress them ut some future time upon the
life and public services Of DARIUS. What
DARIUS was it, any way. and what was
his other name? When did he have his
little adventure with the ocean? II the
Chicago Aldermen show no interest in the
matter, American Orentaists and HELEN
lists should take it up. Tho professors in
the new Chicago University should induce
Mayor WAsHBURNE to make his researches
into Dariology public. We understand that
there Is considerable excitement in the Uni
versity of Berlin already.
In two lines Mayor WAsHBuRNE has re-
constructed, so to speak. Persian, Greek.
English. and Danish history or fable. The
Chicagoans of Danish descent may be in
clined to reject his theory about DARIUS.
but doubtless he will soon submit proofs to
them and to the learned world.
1t makes our blood boil to think that the
Mayor. whose views about DARIUS will soon
make him famous. has been called HEMP"
by bilious and contumelious dctractors.
He should be known hcnceforth as DARIUS.

There were some interesting features OF
the Illinois election for school trustees in
which tho women OF the State voted for tho
first time. We learn from the local reports in
tho Illinois papers that the women voters very
properly cast their ballots in tho way that
suited themselves. They very properly ro-
Trained IRON savishly following tho example
Of their husbands or other mnle relatives at
tho polls. They very properly made voting n
serious business. They very properly engaged
in electioncering. and strove to gain voters
for tho tickets which they favored. Their
literary and social clubs very properly
took an active part in tho elections.
They very properly made as big show as
possible ut tho polls. and in some places they
cast more than half Of tho total number of
votes. They very properly put on their best
clothes when they went out to vote. And yet.
so far as We have noticed tho reports. there
have not been any complaints that the women
voters failed to give due heed to their house,
hold or other duties on the day Of election. 1t
must be admitted that tho women voters of
Illinois demcaned themselves very properly
in every respect while engaged in the noble
business Of electing school trustees.
