VOTERS REGISTERING THEIR
OPINION OF DEMOCRACY.
The Democratic New York Sun Points Out
the Rocky Road Which Lies Before It's
Party-Cieveiand's Cowardice-Good for
England.


The second year of an administration
Is its critical time. At the elections
of the second year you get the peoples
verdict Of good or bad, says the Demo-
era ic New York Sun. In the second
year of Mr.. Cleveland's first term. that
is to say, in 1876, Rhode Island cd of
on the first Wednesday in April. The
Republican plurality in that Republi-
can State was 4 1896. At the CORES
ponding election in April, 1894, the
Republican plurality was e,225. The
Democracy went all to pieces. The
signal disaster which it encountered
this year was far greater than appears
by the comparison with 1886; for since
that time the Rhode Island Democrats
have actually carried the State, last
year by plurality of 1876. Next came
Oregon. In the second year of Mr..
Cleveland's first term the Democrats
carried the State for Governor, on the
first Monday of June, 1856. The Dem
ocratic plurality was 3,702. At the
corr esponding ection last June. in
the second year of Mr.. Cleveland's sec
ond term, the Republicans swept Ore
gon from end to eni. They carried
everything. They elected their cam
dida,e for Governor by plurality of
nearly 100.
How about Tennessee? In that State
at the election on the first Thur. day of
August in 1856. the Democratic ma
jority over the Republican candidates
was about $4,000. From the CORE
spending election in August of this
year it is known that the Eighth Con-
-, a1 "a a.. l. ,ol, -
1888, went Democratic by 80 o ma
Republicans for their judicial ticket
witn at least Loco to spare. The indi-
cations for the whole State point to a
greatly reduced Democratic plurality
as compared with eight years ago.
The last basis for comparison up to
late is afforded ty the great Demo
cratic State of Alabama. After Mr.
Cleveland had been for seventeen
months in Office during his first term,
he Democrats of Alabama elected
Governor by the tremendous plurality
bf lO7,6 Nearly eighty per cent of
bill the voters in that State was solidly
Demo cratic eight years ago. At the
corresponding election this year the
remnants of this magnificent organiza-
ion managed after an almost desper-
tie campaign to elect a ndidate for
Governor, supposed to have the good
Wishes Of Mr.. Cleveland, by majority
probably exceeding 1900. Arkansas,
Vermont, ard Maine are still to be
heard from. Then come the State
elections in most of the States, and the
general elections for Congress in all
of the States, on Nov. 6. The prospect
is not encouraging. The drift is all
one way. Since the people at the polls
began TO register their opinion of the
first year of Mr.. Cloveland's second
term, the results have not been such a
to inspire even in the most sanguine
mind any enthusia site expectation of
glorious and general Democratic VIC
tory in November.

Pre- sident Cleveland IL reported to
have interrupted di tingui he'd
United States Senator who questioned
him on the ubject OF a tariff me sage
with the violent ejaculation, ID - q
message; I've written enough al
ready"
Perhaps the Pre- iident had in mind
only the famous letter to Mr.. vii on
that ha' come back TO plague him, but
the public will 60 further than that, az
il heartily subscribe3 to the sentiment
that Grover has written enough. From
the time when he compo ed that re-
markable sIeech about the soil remain
ing in it, place even to this very day
Mr.. Cleveland has continued to give
fresh evidence on the slightest provo
cation that writing too much is a
chronic complaint with him. On cere-
monial occasions his ponderoui sem
fences, with their dearth of ideas, sug-
gests examining of encyclopedia
knowledge, as his cruel enemy of the
New York Sun was not slow ID point
out, while his state papers have in
variably turned out to be political
blunders. The most noted of them.
the tariff message OF 1887, was tn,
despair OF all the great leaders
of his party. and it is we'll known that
he himself began to recede from ii be-
fore he was nominated for tn Presi-
dency the second time. He and hiC
friends opposed the tariff plank Of the
platform of 1892, which was its logical
outcome. and during the last year it
has been declared many times that he
did not sympathize with those enthusi-
astic free-traders who have taken their
cue from his earlier utterances.
His lorg paper on the Hawaiian
question has been made absolutely
worthless by the course of affairs dur
ing the last six months. All the
elaborate reasoning it contained has
come to nothing. for he has finally
reco 9nized a government whose es-
tablishment he dill his best to prevent
and has abandoned to her fate the
luckless Queen who staked her all up
on the glttering and unsubstantial
promises of the tickle man.
AS for the Wilson letter, that was
most egregiou5 blunder, as many
bright politician declared the day it
was published. 1t was simply so much
ammunition for the enem ?, since there
was no prospect that it would make
the Senators ldge. 1t fell fat as
bluff" but remains the Sc crest criti-
cism yet penned of the Democratic
tariff bill. No wonder that Grover

What precise effects the measure
will have upon the trade of this coun-
try remains to be seen, but it is conf
IDENTIFY expected that it will give a
much-leeded impetus to industries
which have been suffering under the
prohibitive restrictions of the Nc
Kinley act. Though the new
&C: will prove beleficial to the con-
sumer in America and to the manu-
facturers and operatives in this coun-
try, the Democrats have not been able
to return to the conditions that existed
prior to TIE introduction of the Nc
Mckinley bill in 1888. However, we
are all hoping that the modified duties
will stimulate our industries in the
potteries, and that that hope may be
abundantly fulfilled is our earnest
wish. Sta Iordshiro Post, July 5, 1894.

There is some consolation in Presi-
dent Cleveland's running away from
his party's tariff bill. 1t will end the

Destruction Wrought by Flames-Train
Overtaken and Destroyed.
OF the many reports received the
most terrible and sickening comes
from Hinckley, Mimi. Saturday after
noon the fire jumped into the little
town with the suddenness OF thun-
derbolt. With big leaps the flame }
came like whirlwind with such force
that trees several inches in thickness
were twisted in twain as II they had
been toot lpicks. Firebrands were
hur.ed into the air and carried eighty
reds only to fall AID start new contia-
grations. The fire-fghters gave up
the battle and turned their attention
to I ersonal safety. An Eastern
Minnesota train had just come in,
and the people nocked to it for safety.
Box-cars were coupled on, and in
an instant almost were filled and COW
cred all over with men. women, and
children. The train barely pulled out
in time and succeeded in reaching
Duluth. Aboutethe same time an ac-
commodaticn train on the Hinckley
and ST. Cloud branch of the road left
the latter point. Its route lay direct
ly across the path of the fire, and in q
short time the train was in desI crate
situation. Smoke almost blinded the
engineer. The ties were burning aud
rails warping. Burning trees were ~
ing across the track and were Elm
dashed aside / y the engine. Suddenly
the tracks gave way and the train
toppled over. Fortunately no one was
injured, and all on loard hurried for
ward to Pokegama station which wa }
only a short distance ahead.
The condition of the reoplc who did
not get away from Hinck.ey on the
train for Duluth was pitiable. Wagon;

THE LAST PLANK-NO
FORCE BILL.

Everything incorporated in the
Democratic platform at Chicago, 1892
has been swept overheard, lost and
abandoned, save one poor, old, mos
sy, rotten and fraudulent plank,viz ;
the Force Bill. 1t was always a
myth and mirage, never existing in
reality but appalling to any sickened
Imagination. Speaking of the plat
form, and this last plank, the De-
troit Tribune says, as follows:
But one still remains intact in all
its length and breadth and thickness,
On one end of it stands the yelling
brigadier, and on the other crouches
the Tammany tiger. Over it floats
the black flag, emblazoned with the
skull and bones. 1t bears aloft the
proud legend: "No force BILL" This
is the sole plank on which the Dem.
ocracy stands united. To be sure
this plank is full of rot. 1t is and
always was a pretense and a fraud
But it is the only plank on which
they can get together, and therefore
they cling to it.
Though the waves roar and the
ship of state pounds on the jagged
rocks which tear and crush her sides
above the raging of the storm comes
one cheerful and united cry; "No
force bill"

Senator Camden Has not SpecuIated
in Sugar.

WASHINGTON, De-, June. l8.-In
pursuance of the programme to obtain
statement from every member OF
the Sugar Trust to get duty on
sugar and regarding the allegations
that Senators have been specializing
in sugar stock, Senator Camden was
to day summoned before the sugar
investigating committee. The Senator
mede it plain to the committee that
his conferences with Havemyer, and
the other at which Senator Jones, OF
the Finance Committee, were pres
ent, were for the purpose OF learning
just what the sugar people wanted,
40 as to be in a position to help the
Finance Committee in arranging an
agreement which would unite all the
Democratic Senators, without which
it was evident no tariff bill at all
could be posed. the Senators also
said he had not speculated in sugar
stock directly or indirectly. As to
the duty on coal, he said he had felt
little interest in it, because the coal
lands in which he was interested in
West Virginia were so situated that
their output could not be interfered
with by NOVA Scotia coal, as it was
nearly altogether shipped to the
West. He was heavily interested in
lumber, he said, but had cheerfully
acquiesced in the decision of the
committee TO put lumber on the free
list.
