In booming Hon. b. F. Russell,
Of Crawford county, for speaker
of the House, we feel assured that
we are putting forward the right
man for that place. He has al
ready served one term in the legis
lature as representative from Craw
ford county, and is, therefore.
familiar with the duties of the
speakcrship. Mr.. Russell is Il
journalist of marked ability and as
editor. of the Crawford county
Mirror has probably done more
in reslecming that county from the
Democracy than any other one
man. His labors in behalf of the
Republican party should be recog-
nized by his ce-workcrs, and in
elevating him to the speakers
chair they will do honor to hoth
man and party.

Only Two Parties Needed
2ok The GLOBE DEMOCRAT.

FHO6 TH6 GIoSt DtSotEAf
The wreck which came to the
Populists in the recent elections
adds another illustration to the
many which were furnished before
Of the fact that two parties are all
that are needed by the American
people. All over the country
where the Populists bad gained a
foothold they lost ground in the
canvas<es of 1893 and 1894. In
those which have taken place their
defeat was conspicuous and over
wheIming. They lost many Of the
seats which they held in congress,
and III the State elections iii Kansas
and Colorado they were buried I'M
der avalanch of votes. In Nebras-
ka, where an improper Republican
nomination for governor gave them
Il chance to carry the election, their
small majority was obtained
through fraud. and will probably
be overturned by the courts.
The fate of the Populists is the
same as that Of all the other minor
parties which have appeared in our
D0litirs The Anti-Naeonic- the
Know Nothing, the Grcenback and
the Labor parties, after stru,ting
and fretting their little hour upon
the stage, passed away. They
either represented prejudiccs social
or religious like the first two. or.
like the others, they stood for ideas
and policies that were fallacious Or
mischicvous. Not one of those
parties championed any purpose or
policy which could stand the test
OF intelligent investigation. They
represented no great opinion or
doctrine which endurcs. Ncccs-
sarily they appealed only to a class,
and, by the constitution of their be-
ing the moment they stopped grow
ing at the geomctrical rate of pro
gression death came to hand.
Two parties at one time are all
that can thrive or exert any I'M
portant or lasting influence iii this
country. Every policy which has
the faintest chance to prevail or
which ought to prevail is sure to
find a champion sooner or later i'll
one or the other of the great organ
izations. This has been the cxpcr-
icncc of ,he United States from the
beginning. Government by parties
is natural and inevitable in all co,ln-
tries having representative inStitu-
tons, but the popular will, when
definitely determined and intclIi-
gently expressed, can be carried
out far more promptly and effect
lively in countries where there are
only two parties than it can where
the political elements are split w
into fragments and shifting combi-
nations Of fragments, As is the case
in most of the countries Of cont
mental Europe. The influence
which the home rule party of tho
United Kingdom has excrtcd is moi
IN argument for third party here.
for the conditions of the the tw,
countries are materially different.
That country is less homogeneous
than this is, and the Home Rule
organization is an Irish party
strictly, and more alien in its char.
actcr and purposes in the British
polity than any party in this coun
try could possibly be to our tradi
tions and institutions. The rccort
of Great Briton, indeed, furnishes
the strongest sort of an instance o.
the all-sufficiency of two strong
evenly balanced parties, for there
are only two strictly British parties
the Liberal and the conservative.

Other Republicans had occasional
doubts of the ability Of the party
to win enough districts to over
come the enormous Democratic
majority in the present House, but
be has never from the day he as
sumed the craftsmanship of the
committee had Il doubt of victory.
and to-day he has enjoyed the
proud satisfaction. which few men
iii his position have enjoyed, not
only Of seeing every claim he made
substantiatcd by votes. but Of see
ING his claims exceeded in every
direction. He is receiving praise
from all quarters, and he deserves
it all. for the intcllig gent work he
has done. A barrel would not
hold the congratulations which
come to him by mail and by wire
from the prominent Republicans Of
the country. but they have rot
swcl|ed his head even Il little bit.
He gives the credit Of the great
victory to the people. and agrees
with Gen. Harrison. that ''thc
workingmen voted their prciudi-
ccs in '32:. this year they voted
their patriotism and love of home"
and is confident that the Republic
can party has taken the first step
towards q return to another gcncr-

will, by intelligent legislation,

! What the Democrats think of
the election would not he printed
in family newspaper, even if they
would talk for publication, which
few of them will do. They are di-
yidcd into two classes, one of which
considers Mr.. Cleveland the scape-
goat, while the other insists that

party because it would not allow
Mr.. Cleveland to say just what leg

A POLITICAL OUTRAGE
A Member of Coney Islands Reform
League Perhaps Fatally Assaulted.

CoNEY ISLAND, pril 17.-Ernest Knisge,
saloon keeper who has been prominent
in the Citizens league councils, was as
saulted during Sunday night by two
masked men and left for dead on the floor
of his barroom. Knigge opened his place
on Sunday and did a good days business.
BY o'clock the crowd which visited the
island because Of the warm weather had
departed, and the streets were almost de-
serted. Knigge started to close up his
place. He was alone and was turning out
the lights when two men wearing black
cloths over their faces entered. They were
close to him when heHaw them He turned
and demanded to know what they wanted.
Ono of them called him vile name, and
remarked that they intended to teach him
not to be so active in the Citizens league.
At the came moment the other man struck
Knigge blow on the head with large
soda water bottle, which was wrapped in,
a cloth.
knigge remembered nothing more until
he found himself at home at daylight yes
terday, His wife waited up for him. She
thought he would be home by midnight,
and when he did not come became
alarmed. She waited a couple of hours
longer, and us he did not come then she
obtained an escort and went to the saloon.
The door stood open and when Mrs
Knigge entered she found her husband
lying on the floor She had him conveyed
homo and locked up the saloon. DR.. Hill,
who was summoned, fears Knigge will
never recover. That robbery was not the
motive of the assault Is shown by the fact
that the cash register, which was full of
money, was not opened, and even some
loose change back of the bar was undis-

THE GREAT COAL STRIKE
Employers Declare That They Can Readily
SECURE New Hands.


P1TTsRuRG. April 17.-Arrangementsf for
the coal miners strike, which is to take
place next Saturday, have been nearly
completed. At conference held between
National Organizer Cameron Miller and
District President Cairns series of meet
ings was arranged to take place while the
strike is in progress to keep up enthusi-
asm and keep the men in line.
In few days circulars will be sent out
20 the operators notifying them that the
miners demand restoration of the old
price for mining, which Is seventy nine
cents In this district 1t Is evident from
the short official notice which the opera
tors will receive that the miners do not
expect them to consent to the advance in
wages asked for as the operators would
scarcely have time to come together and
formulate any reply before the strike is
declared. 1t Is thought however that
they will agree upon some concerted ac-
tion before the strike is well under head
way in order to protect themselves. 1t is
pretty certain that some of them at least
are now preparing to continue operations
with new men the moment their present
employees lay down their picks. They
claim that about one-half of the 800, 900
miners IN the country are ont OF work and
have been idle NEST of the winter because
they could find no employment. They are
consequently very poor and anxious to 20
to work Mt any price. 1t Is, therefore,
claimed that the operators will have no
trouble In getting men to take their places.
