fresh trouble this winter by precipi.
tating tariff agitation on the heels
of the financial disturbance which
has Frustrated business all over the
country.
The occupant OF the White House
now that he has begun work on his
annual message, may be sobered into
a reconsideration of the defiant
threat with which he concluded his
message of last August summoning
Congress together. He then pro
claimed that there would be no
abandonment OF the policy Of
"tariff REFORM" But the extra SEES
sion has been an object lesson to the
country in revealing the ignorant
and reckless spirit of the Democratic
party and in proving its unhtness
for the responsibilities of power.
The voters who went to the polls
last week had one dominant thought
in their minds-the calling of halt
on Cleveland and his tariff policy.
Unless the President is stone blind
to the plainest signs of the times, he
will modify his views oil the tariff in
his December message to Congress-.
The only intelligent Interpretation
which every dispassionate man who
marks the drift of public opinion can
put upon the elections OF 1895 is
that the people are in no mood for
such a programme as the Ways and
Means committe OF the lower House
of Congress is now preparing for the
winter session.
We shall no longer hear that Pro-
lection is played out in this country;
and Mr.. Cleveland, if he has any of
the saeacity OF a politician, or any
respect for the convictions OF his
country men, or any regard tor the
future OF his party will promptly
accept The lesson and warning of the
hour.
The Republican party has regained
the confidence of the country, and
it is not likely soon again to lose it.
As an opposition party it has now
to deal with a weak and discredited
administration, and it may stand
up for its great policy of Protection
as embodied in the Mckinley tariff
with full faith in its ultimate triumph.
A year ago William Mckinley was
apparently a failure and his public
career seemed about to come 10 a
close; today he is the foremost leader
of public opinion in the county, and
II he had been. a candidate for the
Presidency there would have beer
only the solid South against him.
The terms of Mr.. Cleveland's mes
age on the first Monday OF Decem.
Der will go Tar to determine whether
that result will happen in 1896.

WHAT ARE THE PEOPLE OF CECIL
GOING TO DO ABOUT IT2

How to prevent bribery of voters,
and the open and fragrant violation
of our State Election Laws, is at this
time an Imperative question with the
reputable citizens Of this county.
To this fact, recent events give
especial emphasis.
1t is patent to every intelligent
observer, that the violation of our
election laws, is yearly becoming
more fragrant and defiant.
That the will OF the people Of
Cecil county is being annuled, and
their right to a free and fair express
ion of their choice of local officers
is being defeated by the corrupt and
undisguised purchase of voters.
That Q1ences against eur election
La90S, are being committed even by
those 00hO held o6fciaI Positions, and
are the sworn conseryato,s of the
purity of the ballot box, and the
protectors CT the elective franchise.
1t is no less apparent, that if such
open violations Of law are to go UNI
punished, that such immunity from
punishment will result in increased
defiance OF law, and the still greater
increase OF the evil.
What are the people of Cecil
county going to do about iti
The State has provided one means
OF punishment for such vlolators of
law in the grand jury or inquest
which will soon meet at Elkton, and
each member of which is solemnly
charged upon his oath to investigate
and present to the court every vio-
lation of existing law.

and where the same condi
tons exist, the people have risen

TIE LESSON OF THE ELECTION.


The result OF the elections every
where last week shows that the
country is dissatisfied with the
administration at Washington and
its policy.
The unusual majorities in Penn
sylvania and Ohio, which are without
parallel in those states for more than
twenty years, and indeed were only
once or twice exceeded when the
Republican party was in the full
flush of its power during the war and
reconstruction period; the recovery
Of Massachusetts and Iowa by maj
critics surprising the Presidential
majorities OF recent years and the
complete overthrow of the Demo
cracy in New York, the State in
which, year ago, it had seemingly
intrenched itself in power for many
years, are extraordinary manifestat-
ions of popular reaction.
The people have signified SO far
as they could this year, their disap-
proval OF the policy of the party in
power, and have held it accountable
for the disastrous changes which
have occurred in our industrial con-
dltions, since its restoration to nat
ional authority.
Its incapacity in managing the
finances of the government and its
proclaimed determination to at once
embark in a warfare on American
industries have not only aroused the
old-time fighting spirit of RepublI-
canism but have caused its own fol-
lowers to take pause in sustaining an
administration which is threatening

en- maSSe to check corruption, and to
teach corrupt politicians, that the
people still have some rights that
they are bound TO respect.
In Kings county, New York
where corruption is no more ram
pant than in Cecil county Maryland,
the people have assembled in mass
meeting, and in response to their
petition Governor Flower has recon-
mended the appointment OF two
prominent lawyers one a Republican
and the other a Democrat to prose-
cute the election offenders.
Judge Moore, of the Brooklyn
Court of Sessions, charged the Grand
Jury on Tuesday, to investigate all
crimes against the elective franchise.
"Any man," he said, who violates
in any respect the election law ought
to be punished, for he is a criminal
of the most dangerous character. 1t
is your duty to investigate fully and
indict every man who has violated
the election law, or aided and abet-
ted in its violation. No political
consideration ought to interfere with
your action. When matters OF that
character come before the Grand
Jury, you must rise above mere
parties. The investigation of these
charges is a matter Of supreme I'M
portance, and most inperatively
demands your closest and best at
tention."
What will the people of Cecil
county do through their legal repre-
sentatives, to check evils that are
rapidly becoming a public scandal
and disgrace?

AN UNPOPULAR POLICY.

Upon the heels of disastrous defeat
at the polls, the meaning OF which
every impartial citizen of this country
properly interprets as rebuke Of the
Administration upon its financial and
"tariff reform" policies, comes the un
mistakable signs of popular disapproval
Of its Hawaiian Policy, as un-Ameri,
can and un-Republican.
Minister Willis it seems who was
recently sent to represent this Country
at Hawaii, has received notice from
the Administration at Washington to
give no encouragement to annexation
and the influence of this Country and
if necessary its naval power are to be
used for the restoration OF monarchy
there.
1t is safe to say that nc recent act Of
any Administration at Washington
ether Republican or Democratic has
been SO generally received with disfavor
in TINS country.
In addition to the popular expression
of disapproval, almost all the promi-
nent Journals of the country are equally
emphatic In condemning 1t.
Even the PHILADELPHIA Ledger,
recognized as one of the Presidents
personal organs, holds this view of the
matter, and says:
The question is one Of right and
wrong and, as it is ofthe first import
ance, it should not be determined
precipitaiely or before the people have
had ample time and opportunity to
examine and consl Ter it. 1t should not
be determined now, and not by any
single department of the government,
but after due consideration and with the
aid Of Congress, which in peculiar de.
gree represents the people. The
people are seldom wrong in their
general verdicts, il the present case it
is that the position of the Secretary Of
State is not yet sufficiently fortified by
conclusive evidence, and that it is not
in accord with good policy.
Noticing these general evidences Of
disfavor of Mr. CleveIand's policy, the
Baltimore american publishes the
following list OF influential journals
which condemn it.
The papers says the 4me17cau, are
very general in their criticism of Mr..
Clevelands Hawaiian coup d'etat.
Sheets many of which up to this time
have had nothing but praise for him
and that have done all in their power
to sustain his administration, are today
Mortified at his conduct toward the
brave men in Hawaii who are Appearing
to him for peace and freedc:I. In
the list we noice such old. reliable and
conseE=.7 papers as the
