Defeat with Dish0nOr.

Grover Cleveand's plurality for presi-
dent on the popular vote in all the forty
four states of the Union fifteen months
ago was 366,211 The plurality on
Tuesday last against Mr.. Cleveland aud
the policies of his administration was
half as large as that in the single state
of Pennsylvania, one state out of the
forty four. Such is the verdict from
Pennsylvania. The verdict from New
York a fortnight ago was the same. Il
will be the same wherever the people
get a chance to vote. Political disas ers
and new humiliations are closing in
upon the democracy from every quarter
The popular condemnation OF the dis
honest, anti democratic Wilson bill, the
insane income-taX project, and the in
famous monarchical plot which the pres
emit administration has made it, dislinc-
tive feature, takes an Impressive form
whenever and wherever the ballot
boxes are opened.
This is the time to tell the plain
truth; and here is the truth in its
rakedness. Defeat does not necessarily
bring dishonor. Defeat in def nee of a
principle, or in an honest attempt to re-
deem sacred pledge, or for the right,
or for the flag, can never be dishouor-
able. That is not the sort of defeat to
which Grover Cleveland has led the de-
mocracy in the eleven months since he
entered into office with a commission
plainly written, and a straight and clear
way before him. Promises repudiated
and insolently ignored, democracy
trampled under foot. responsibility
shirked, lying and cowardly evasion-
substituted for the unqualified declara-
tons of few months ago, American
sentiment outraged and defied, per
sonal whims or personal spite made the
partv's law; here we have in forty
words the history of the first year of q
democratic administration that began
with golden prospects! Defeat with
dishonor, that is the bitterness of it

feat. What will the senate do2-Neu

Railroad Litigation.

AN associated press dispatch from Brattle-
boro, last week, stated that Hon. A. A
Strout and 8. g. Shurtleff, counsel for the
Grand Trunk railroad, have begun suit in
the United States circuit court at Brattle-
boro, against the issue by the Central YER
mont railroad of $1,000, 600 capital stock,
and the issue of first mortgage bonds.
From the bill filed in the case it appears
that in the reorganization of the several
companies composing the Central Vermont
company there was issued 81 900 900 in capt.
tai stock the Grand Trunk, as large cred
itor of the company, receiving majority of
the stock so issued, which it has held since
that time The Central Vermont being a
corporation established by special charter,
each shareholder had one vote for every
share held by him, but at the session of the
Vermont legislature in 1892, without the
knowledge of the Grand Trunk company
an act was passed providing that the gem
eral law allowing any one person to vote
on one-tenth of the capital stock only was
made applicable to corporations organized
under special laws well as to those or
ganized under general laws. The Central
Vermont, at its annual meeting in January
last, voted to issue an additional $1,000, 900
of capital stock and at the annual meeting
of the Grand Trunk a protest was made
against this issue. Some time ago the Grand
Trunk entered into certain traffic contracts
with the Central Vermont, and the bill al
leges that the obligations of these contracts
are impaired by the law of 1892, and,
further, that the proposed issue of stock is
ia other respects illegal and contrary to law.
1t is also alleged that the act of 1892 is un-
constitutional because imparing the obli-
cation of a contract.

Anarchy at Washington.

Representative Bland of Missouri is
the author of proposition to coin the
seigniorage of the silver bullion the ma
tional government has been buying
under the Sherman act,-that is to say,
to coin silver dollars to the amount of
the difference between the market
price of the silver bullion now in the
possession of the government and the
number of standard silver dollars that
could be coined from that bullion. Of
course that difference is air in respect
OF its intrinsic value; or, in Mr.. Hew-
tits apt characterization, the PROPOSE.

Anarchy in Congress,

Eli Perkins, writing from Washing
ton 10 the democratic New York Sun,
represents Mr.. Reed as alarmed at the
possibilities that are looming up ahead
OF an interview with the distinguished
ex-speaker, the correspondent writes:
l can see how ex-Speaker Reed is
naturally the physical and intellectual
leader of the republican minority in
the house. His size is tremendous, his
mind quick, and be is in dead earnest.
When l asked him what the senate
would do with the Wilson bill, he said
81 begin to get alarmed. At first we
thought the cooler heads of the senate
would put back upon the tariff good
deal of the SS4 100000 deficit and make
a tariff for revenue according to the
democratic platform. But now 1 see
there is anarchy in the senate. l am
afraid that the Wilson bill will go
through with its worst features re-
tanned. The Southern free traders are
in power"
How will this affect the democratic
party?" asked
" 1t will destroy it in the North, but
with its destruction will come great
damage to the republic. l should like
to see the party wreck itself, but | feel
that patriotism should take the place of
power now If were northern dem

the foolish voters and say, We have
done your bidding. We have made a
tariff for revenue and for the whole

voters will say, You have not made a
tariff for revenue. You have made
free trade in some things and destroyed
the revenue on others. You have
caused our wages to be cut twenty-five
per cent to fit your wage-destroy
tariff. You have stopped mills, made
workmen paupers, and taken billions
of wage money out Of circulation, and
run the country in debt besides"
"How can money be made flush
again?" I asked, and Mr.. Reed an
swered: "There is no way to put
money in circulation except through
wages paid. Issuing government bonds
doesn't make circulation. The labor
ers must earn it and spend it, and that
will make it flush. The statisticians

Charges Against the House of Lords.

In double-leaded leader, the London
Dailu Ne,os of last week Thursday preferred
thirteen formal charges against the British
house of lords. All these concern the mu-
tilation or rejection of reform proposals
during the present parliamentary session.
1.-THE rapid growth of the popular agitation
against the house of lords" it comments,
lis evidenced by daily meetings. We are
now face to face with one of the very gravest
problems of our constitutional history.
This odious institution of hereditary legis-
lators cannot possibly continue to have a
place in free government" The Ne1oS also
says that Lord Salisbury will advise the
lords not to insist upon any critical amend
those relating to the affairs of the various
charities.
