Administration success.

Ex- Governor William E. Russell
has contributed an article to the
May number of The Forum on "a
Year of Democratic Administration.
He clears the way for frank state
ment of what has been done, by ex-
planning the proper point of view to
judge the success of the party. There
is, he points out, radical difference
of doctrine and purpose between the
parties, and every man who wishes
to make fair judgment will keep
in mind that the purpose of the
Democratic party is to limit the pow
ers of the government to prevent its
interference with private business,
and, both for political and economic
reasons, to reduce the tariff to rev
enne basis. 1t is from this broad
plane only that it is fair to judge
the party. Matters of administra-
tive detail are important, but they are
subordinate. Personal and sectional
matters may be important, but they,
too, are subordinate. The one lead
ing question is, has the Administra-
tion kept faith with the people who
ordered it to reform our fiscal sys-
tenn? 1.-THE election of 1892" he says
considered and decided this one
question uppermost in the minds of
the people, as clearly as the election
of 1860 nealt with a vigorous prose
cution of the war"
Governor Russell then proceeds
by asking, How far and fully has the
Democratic party met its imperative
duty? and he says:
at has with reasonable dispatch
framed and put upon its passage
legislation to this end. 1t has by such
legislation properly recognized the
necessity of proceeding slowly, care
fully, in any great reform touching
many and varied interests; but it
has radically and permanently
changed the tariff policy of the coun-
try
GA year of Democratic admins
tration can show as worthy record
LIST. Loyalty to its main duty of
repeating McKinleyism reversing the
the tariff policy of the country, and
making public, not private interest,
its fundamental principle.
I'd. Placing the currency of the
country upon sound basis by the
repeal of dangerous Republican leg
islation.
Sd. Repeal of the Federal election
law, and reuniting of the country
more closely in love and loyalty.
4th. Economy, retrenchment,an and re-
form in appropriations, expenditure,
and the administration of all depart

"These things it has done, not on.
ly in adherence to its principles, but
also in obedience to the explicit man
date of the country.
'sLast,-and perhaps not least
honorable conduct of our foreign re-
lations, with justice to a small and
weaker power.
"The Democratic party in the past
has achieved success only by cour-
ageous loyalty to principle; it never
has succeeded by substituting tao
tics for craftsmanship, or comprom-

After twenty years of continuous
publication, Charming M. Smith has
decided to discontinue his paper
known as Smiths Index. The vale
dictory number will appear on the
7th of May, and in it Claiming will
bid long farewell to journalistic
life and a good bye to his many
friends and readers. During its long
years of publication the Index has
been identified with many reforms
in city, county and State, and while
original and eccentric in some of his
ideas, it can be truthfully said of it's
editor that he never compromised
with evil in any shape, manner or
shade. Mr.. Smith retires with
good record, and his hosts of friends
will wish him pleasant journey to
the golden shores of the Pacific

health in short time.--Parkersburg

what Democrats Have Done.

tnaIleS NoTuHoH WrlIinS 70 bHe
New York Herald with reference to
the efforts being made by the pro
lection advocates to stave off tariff
reform and the Importance of the
work done by the present Democrat
ic Congress says, l, for one, have
not believed that the millennium
was to arrive this year. 1t took four
years of bloody war to extinguish
chattle slavery, and it will require
several arduous campaigns to es-
tablish commercial liberty; for the
protection lords have more money
and a great deal more brains than
had the southern slave lords.
Meantime, the Democrats have
done some very important work for
the country at this session. They
have enacted Free Election law,
which, to my mind, is of even great
er immediate Importance than tariff
revision. The republican force bill
was apparently levelled at the south
ern States, but it was, in fact, de-
signed to enable powerful capital
istlc minority to control elections in
all the States. The passage by the
Democratic Congress of law secur-
ing freedom of elections is as impor-
tant an event for the peaceful and
orderly future of our country as has
happened in years. 1t is the Demo
cratic answer to the Republican at
tempt to pass Force bill.
Then the Democrats deserve and
will receive credit from the country
for repeating the mischievous Re-
publican Sherman law, and, in ac-
cordance with the best Democratic
tradition, maintaining an honest
and full valued dollar for the work
ingmen and women of the land. :For
a high priced dollar is what the
workingman wants.
Further, the Democrats at this
session have put their foot down on
the lingo Republican policy of an
nexation of distant and outlying
islands and countries-a Republican
policy cunningly designed to greatly
and constantly increase the expendi-
lures and taxes and open the door
for jobs of various kinds-all more
strongly to entrench the protection
lords in power
To establish free electromagnetic
the Republican Force bill; to estab-
fish sound money-against the Re
publican Sherman act; to put down
annexa tion-against the Republican
jingoism; these genuinely Demo
cratic blows have carried the Repub-
lican outworks, so to speak, and
have cleared the way for further and
decisive action for other campaigns.
A complete tariff revision is not to
be expected at this session; the enc
mics of liberty and justice are too
strongly intrenched and have too
many allies in the Democratic camp
itself That the protectionist lead
ers may make an alliance with the
populists, and are raising money for
populist campaign purposes, shows
the desperate character of their re-
sistenee to reform of the tax system.
1t admonishes the Democrats and
all friends of tax reform to stand to-
gether on sound principles, to be
neither bullied nor wheedled by pop
ulists nor socialsts-allies of the
protection lords.

President Cleveland struck the
bulls eye when he said: sour party
is best organized and most powerful
when it strives for principles instead
ofspoils.o Ditto: "Fealty to party
organizations demands the subordi
nation of individual advantages and
wishes, and the putting aside Of
petty and ignoble jealousies and
chickering's when party principles and
party integrity and party existence
are at stake"

A Timely Suggestion.
To the Editor of the NEW DOMINION:

To the Editor of the NEW DOMINION:
The Republicans are now bowling
tremendously over what they call
these Democratic hard times. While
they are making all this buster and
blow, Democrats are sitting quietly
by and allowing them to work peo-
pie up to the belief that these times
were made ny Democrats, when in
fact the times are the result of the
Republican administration Just end
ed in which was enacted and put in
to operation the iniquitous McKin-
ley bill.
1t must certainly be known to all
intelligent people that the Demo
Gratis are working hard to get the
Wilson bill through Congress and
that the Republicans are using all
their ingenuity to delay it. The
leaders in Congress on the Democrat
ic side are urging the measure that
will bring relief, while those on the
Republican side openly oppose it and
resort to all manner of means to him
der and delay.
Now Mr.. Editor while these things
are plain and apparent to the inteli-
gent and thoughtful, still there are
many who do not look far enough
ahead to see the real causes that are
at work.
Is it not true that Democrats are
losing valuable time in not vigorous
ly and persistently pressing upon
the masses Of the people the facts in
the case.
Yours Truly,
Grant District. DEMOCRAT.
The New DOMINION would suggest
to Democrat that Democratic news
papers are probably remiss in the re-
spect mentioned by him Still it is
the Intelligent class of the people
who come in contact with the polit-
ical journals and the class who are
influenced by the clap-trap of which
Democrat speaks are those who eth
er have not the time or the opportun-
itv, or the inclination to read for
themselves.
Will Democrat allow the New Do.
NnNroN to make suggestion Why
not at this time organize county
clubs amongst the Democratic mas
aoc t1 n the
There is nothing equal to the de-
batting club for an education. The
Democracy of Monongalia should be
organized in every district in the
county And in each district should
be organized two or three or more
clubs, in which these Democratic
times could be discussed and talked
about and the true causes inquired
into end understood
The unpatriotic Republican who
joins in the clamor that is wrecking
the fortunes of thousands of our bus
mess men, for political purposes,
should be understood and it is by
club organization and discussion that
his desperate and cruel methods are
made apparent to the unsuspecting.
Let our friends in the country take
the lead.
1t is from amongst the masses of
the people that tariff reform like all
other good reforms sprang. There
is the place to organize and educate
for it. We call upon Democrat to
take the initiative.

1t is quite true that the Demo
cratic platform contains no demand
for tax on incomes. But what if il
does not? Does it contain any de-
mand for a tax on whiskey, tobacco,
cigarettes, oloemargarine or any
other article? Does it say there
should be duty on iron, steel, cot
tons, woolens, sugar or any other
commodity? Nothing Of the sort is
TO be found in the platform. Nor is
it customary for platform to speci-
