DEMOCRACYS PLAIN DUTY.
Ex-sECRETARY WHITNEY SAYS THE
TARIFF MUST BE REFORMED.
He Declares That the Voting Resulted
i'm "a Democratic Defeat But Not N
Republican Triumph - The Party
Must Redeem It's Pledges.

NEW YORK. Nov. 1.-THE World
will tomorrow print letter from ex-
Secretary of the Navy Whitney giving
his views of the recent elections. He
says:
Last Tuesdays voting was, in my
opinion. negative, not positive. The re-
suit was democratic defeat but not a
republican triumph The people had no
intention Of resembling their emphatic
and well-considered Reputation of
vicious republican policies. They could
not. however, refrain from and cannot
be blamed for expressing their dissatis-
faction with existing conditions, so they
voted against the party in power.
1T is true that the democratic power
was not responsible for the conditions,
but they existed nevertheless. The
party TO suffer was necessarily the party
in power. 1t had had no opportunity to
put in force new policy and show the
Denenclal erect, but discomfort from
whatever cause is visited naturally upon
the party in power. The check in view
should be, and believe will be, beneficial
in result. After such a period of dis
trust as we have just experienced the
stability and conditions of trade are the
first essential of a return TO prosperity.
Congress owes ii to the country not only
to reform the tariff but to reform it at
once in a conservative and capable spirit.
And at once redemption of all party
pledges is necessary. But quick re-
demptiOn of this greatest of party
pledges is more than necessary, more
than sound policy, more than wise par
tisanship. 1t is a patriotic duty In
accordance with the speed and wisdom
with which this duty will be discharged
will, in my view, be the future of the
democratic party"

GLEN wACKERLY ARRESTED.
Capture OF Another of the OIiphant
Train Robbers.

LITTLE ROCK, Nov. Glen Wack-
erly, one of the Oliphant train robbers,
was shot and wounded here this even
ing about Z o'clock in the sitting-room
of the depot. He was suspected this
evening by his curious movements.
Sheriff Wilson was notified and organ
lied a posse to help arrest him. The
sheriff questioned him and Wackerly
gave his name away in the
converse ton to the sheriff be-
fore any attempt was made to
arrest him. During the conversation
he had a forty-five Colts pistol in his
hands, and when the sheriff commanded
him to surrender he said he would not,
and while the sheriff trying to get
him to surrender he made a move to
shoot, when Parker shot him inflicting
a serious but not fatal wound. In
thirty minutes after he was captured a
posse from near BateSville arrived and
identified him as Glen Wackerly and
said that they had been on his trail for
a day elem is country youth about
nineteen years old and handsome, and
was recently convicted of a minor
offense and placed in the county Jail.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Nov ia
letter Of Secretary Gresham to the presi-
dent dated the 18th ultimo concerning
Hawaiian affairs has been given out for
publica ton. In it he takes the ground
that the marines landed from the United
States steamer Boston a the time of
the revolution were not landed to pro-
tect American life and property. but to
aid in overthrowing the existing gov
eminent Their presence, he said, i'm
piles cOercive measures against il. The
provisional government was established
by the action of the American minister
and the troops landed from the boston,
and it's continued existence is due to the
belief OF the Hawaiian islands that if
they made an effort to overthrow il.
they would encounter the armed forces
of the United States. The letter con-
cludes as follows:
THE earnest appeals to the American
minister for military protection by the
officers Of the provisional government
after IL had been organized shows it's
utter absurdity of the claim that it was
established by a successful revolution Of
the people. These appeals were a con-
fession by the men who made them of
their weakness and timidlty Courage
Gus men, conscious Of strength and jus
tice of their cause do not thus act. It
IS not now claimed that a majority Of
the people who had the right to vote
under the constitution of 1887 ever ia
vored the existing authority. or annex
alton to this or any other country. They
earnestly desire that the government Of
their choice shall be restored and its in
dependence respected.
"Mr Blount states that while at Hon
olulu he did not meet a single annexa-
zionist who expressed willingness to sub
nit the question to a vote of the peo-
pie, nor did he talk with one on that
subject who did not insist that if the
islands were annexed suffrage should be
so restricted as 10 give complete control
10 foreigners or whites, and representa-
tive anneXationists have repeatedly
made similar statements to the under
signed. The government of Hawaii sur
rendered its authority under a threat
of war until such time only as the gov
eminent of the United States. upon the
fact being presented to II, should REIN
state the constitutional sovereign and
the provisional government was created.
To exist until terms or union with the
United States Of America have been ne
gotiated upon
"A careful consideration of the facts
will, l think, convince you that the
treaty which was withdrawn from the
senate for further consideration should
not be resubmitted for Is action there
on Should not the great wrong done
10 a feeble but independent state. by
an abuse of the authority Of the United
States be undOne by restoring the legiti-
mate government? Anything short of
that will not. 1 respectfully submit, sat
isfy the demands Of justice. Can the
United States consistently insist that
other nations shall respect the indie
pendence of Hawaii, while not respect
ing IL themselves
Our government was the first to rec
ognize the independence of the islands
and should be the last to acquire sover-
eighty over them by force and fraud.
Respectfully submitted,
w. @. GRESHAM"

MIR. OUTHwAITE AND THE TARIFF.
He Says That the Democratic Policy
VIII He Carried Out.


COLUMBUS, O.. Nov. 11-Mr. Outh-
waite. member of congress from this
district, being asked what effect will
the results of the election have upon the
tariff legislation, said: They will, no
doubt, have some influence upon MEM
bers when they come to consider the de-
tails of the bill, but the tariff will be
revised in the direction of the pledges
of the democratic party. OF course the
conditions Of the business of the couu-
try will be carefully considered by con-
gress while framing such legislation
MIR. Cultivate says it would be Civ
ing the big republican majorites a
wrong significance to say that the peo-
tariff last fall have changed their minds.
To dissatisfaction. as claimed, Of soldiers
over the neglect Of the administration 10
promptly change federal officers and
the delay of the senate to act on the
silver purchasing clause. Many of the
material increases of the Mckinley bill
will be reduced. Some of them will be
wiped out entirely and even less duty
placed. Wool and some of the raw
materials will be placed on the free list.
OF course the uncertainty as to what
kind of tariff, or how much of a cut
I'm the rates Of duty there is to be. will
affect business somewhat. but hundreds
of the manufactures that were closed
four months ago have resumed oper-
atoms The sooner some revision is
made the better 1t will be for the peo-

How RepuIsive

Is bad breath, and yet how many other
wise attractive. polite and particular
people afElict their friends with the foul
odor Of their breath. If there was no
remedy for this IL might excite our SYM
pathy, but as there is no need Of hav-
ing a foul breath IL is an objectionable
breach of good manners to obtrude such
an offense on good society.
Foul breath arises from disordered di-
gestion, which can be corrected by using
Sulphur Bitters, and the result will be a
pure sweet breath.
