THE COLLAPSE OF THE POPULIsTS.

One of the most paIpable and
significant features of the recent
elections is the collapse of the Pop
ulists. They do not seem to have
figured in any potent way in any OF
the voting States. The returns show
that their strength has been every
where materially reduced. They
have not a single thing to boast of in
all the long list of things that trans.
pired On the 9TH inst. Wherever
they made fight they were beaten.
In not one Of the States where they
were formidable last year have they
been able to hold their own this
year. They encountered a pro-
nounced defeat in Kansas, they were
badly worsted in Nebraska, they
made miserable failure In Virginia
and they were practically eliminated
from the political situation in Ken
lucky. We heard a great deal
before the election about the large
gains they were sure to make; but
the result proves that they have been
losing ground all over the country
at a remarkable rate and that they
have no reason to suppose that their
party will be in existence in 1896.
There has never before been such
considerable lessening OF political
vitality in any political party in a
similar period, and it is not to be
doubted that the process OF weak
ening and disintegration will go on
swiftly until there shall be nothing
left of the thing but bad smell.
This was certain from the start
to be the fate of the Populist move
ment. 1t never had any substantial
basis and never represented any
legitimate object. At the most, it
was only an aggregation of cranks,
led by INSCRIPTIONS demagogues
and disappointed office seekers.
There was nothing in it to inspire
public respect or confidence. The
things that it proposed to accom-
plish were manifestly impossible:
the doctrines that it taught were
obviously irrational and pernicious.
1t gained certain degree of success
by force OF exceptional circumstances
and because of glowing promises
that were credited without serious
consideration. The people who
took stock in it were generally
actuated by honest motives, and
they soon began to discover that
they had been deceived. That is
always the way with these new
organizations which propose to
inaugurate a political millennium.
They thrive for a season on the
credulity Of certain class of voters
and then come inevitable decay and
dissolution. In the present instance
this result has ensued sooner than
usual, because the party was more
than usually ridiculous in its preten
sions and undertakings. The con-
Germ will linger along in loose and
ineffective manner ior a few years
perhaps, but its days are numbered.
The people have found 1t out, and
will keep away from it. That is the
meaning of its reduced vote In the
recent election; and its leaders may
as we'll be looking for some other
occupation.-.H Louie GlObe-Dcm

Washin gtOn Letter.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20, 1898.
A more disappointed crowd than the
members of the administration it
would be hard to find. So
certain wers,.ssSqzs hat Saturdays
steamer rrou build bring news
,sssse restoration Of the queen that every
employe of the State Department was
compelled to take an oath of secrecy
beforehand, in order to prevent any of
the details contained in tho dispatch
from Minister Willis getting out prema-
turely. 1t was clear, however, from
other dispatches that the infamous pro-
programme had miscarried. and the
belief here is that the monarchy will not
be restored, and that Mr.. Cleveland is at
last beginning to realize that between
the one sided representations of Minister
paramount Blount and Secretary Gresh-
ANS hatred of ex Pre- sident Harrison, he
has been hoodwinked into taking
course which has been more generally,
and perhaps more harshly, criticised
than any single act of any American
President.
The great question with the admins
tration now is how it can best sneak out
of its imp leasant predicament, although
it is believed that positive assurances
have been given to the British Ambass
ador and the Japanese Minister that the
monarchy would be restored in Hawaii
it is not thought that any attempt will
be made to do it, at least not openly or
by force. In fact friends of the admins
tration are now trying to deny what
they were few days ago positively
asserting as to the nature of the instruct
ions given to Minister Willis. Should it
end in Mr.. Cle7eland's making Gresham
the scape goat and throwing him out of
the cabinet there will be no tears sh ed
by either Republicans or Democrats, as
Greshams course in this matter has

Representative Bourke Cochran, the
New York Congressman who has been
sat upon by Tammany because he
objected to being a mere puppet of
Cookers threw bombshell among his
Democratic colleagues on the House
Ways and means committee who had in
his absence decided that an Income
tax should be attached to the new
tariff bill when he informed them
that an income tax imposed by
q Democratic administration and con
gress would result in making New York |
City, now the Democratic Gibraltar, a
Republican stronghold; he also told them
that this proposed tax was an attempt |

into effect it would prove disastrous to |

Esta bliShment of Thanksgiving
Day.

AZ employe of the Capitol, who is
fond of delviug into musty congressional
records of the past, has recently
unearthed the first congressional
action looking to the establishment of a
national Thanksgiving Day. This action
was taken on September 25, 1899, at the
first session of the First Congress. The
resolution passed by the House of Repre-,
sentatives read as follows:
Res0lced That joint committee OF
both houses be appointed to wait on the
President of the United States to request
that he would recommend to the people
of the United States a day of public
thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed
by acknowledging with grateful hearts
the many and signal favors of Almighty
God, especially by affording them an
opportunity peaceably to establish a
constitution of government for their
safety and happiness"
Tho Senate agreed to this resolution
September 20, and the committee ap
pointed Hereunder was composed of
Messrs. Johnson and Izaru, of the Senate
and Boudinet, Sherman aud Ssrvestly,

TRUE AMERICANISM."


Theodore Roosevelt Talks to a Boston Au-
dience About the Public Schools.
Boston, Nov. 15.-Hon. Theodore
Roosevelt, of New York. spoke this
evening in Huntington Hall Institute of
Technology, to large audience of re
preventative citizens, on True Ameri.
canism in the Public Schools"
He said, in part: Because we are
unqualifiedly and without reservation
against any system of denominations
schools maintained By the adherents OF
any creed with the help of State aid,
therefore we as strenuously insist that
the public school shall be free from sec
tartan influences, and above all, free from
any attitude of hostility to the adherents
of any particular creed, and we derounce
as the worst foes of the public schools
those who, under the pretence of friend
slip for them, STIR up hostility toward
them by seeking to discriminate in their
name against those people who hold a
given religious belief. Exactly as we
welcome to them alike the children of
the Jew and Gentle, of Catholic and
Protestant, so We insist that in their
management no ore creed shall have
any special jurisdiction, but the pro.
fessors of all creeds be treated alike, In
order that every American citizen, with
out regard to what his own private
religious belief may be, shall feel that
he has as much voice as any other man,
whether of his own faith or of some
different faith. in the management of the
schools to which his children go.

EX SECRETARY JEREMIAH RUsK
whose death occurred at his home in
Wisconsin On Tuesday, was an
upright, sincere and patriotic man.
His sympathies were always with
the masses of the people, but he was
never fairly accused of being a dem
agogue. Many times honored by
the people OF his State, he never
betrayed their confidence in any way.
He leaves behind him a spotless
reputation as public Official and
that respect, as citizen, which is
only accorded to an honest man.
The trite saying that "the world is
better off because he lived can be
lruthtully applied to him.

THE determination of Chairman
Wilson's committee to make no re
duction in the duty on manufactured
tobacco or cigars is good news for the
tobacco manufacturers but it is none
the less black eye for Free Trade.
The duties which it has been decided
to leave intact are distinctly protective.
Judged by the Democratic national
platform, they are ga robbery of the
many for the benefit of the few" and
ought to be torn out root and branch.
1t used to be said that this administra-
ton had the courage of its convictions,
but that theory is evidently on the
yrege OF annibilation.

GOVERNOR MCKINLEY is wise 10
decline becoming now an out and
out candidate for the Presidential
nomination in 1896. While at this
time one of the most likely men for
the place, he fully appreciates that
the Republican party has number
of other strong leaders, any one of
whom would in all probability stand
as fair a chance OF an election as he.
He will lose nothing by attending
strictly to his Ohio business and
letting sentiment crystalline naturally
as it seems to be doing now.
