History Repeats ItseIf.

In speaking Of a recent public incident
the Chicago Later-Ocsaa recalls an episode
in American history whereby to point a
modern moral. We take the liberty Of
appropriating il, as follows;
The Governor Of Alabama has warned
Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts,, that he
must not interfere with the ~order-loy-
ing society Of that State. History repeats
itself Senator Hoar's father had sim
liar warning from SOnth Carolina fifty
years ago. The Legislature of South
Carolina had enacted a law in 1885 pro-
viding fer the imprisonment Of any free
eolsred persons arriving at any port Of
that State. If they remained they were
70 be sold into slavery. There were ma
ny free colored people in Massachusetts,,
and the legislature of that State directed
the Governor to bring test case in the
United States courts to determine the
laws coustitutiOnality. Samuel Hoar,
the father of the Senator, was appointed
to visit South Carolina and bring the
test case in the United States courts
there.
Mr.. Hoar arrived in Charleston No
vember 18th, 1874, and the same day the
Legislature passed resolution asserting
its right to exclude from the State sedi-
tious persons and requesting the Govern
or to deport Mr.. Hoar, ~the emissary
from Massachusetts," who had come to
interfere with the order-loving" society
there existing. The Legislature also
passed an act authorizing such removals,
and fixing fine Of $1,000 and imprison-
ment for seven years as the penalty for
such "seditious persons" if they persisted
in their purpose. This did not frighten
the lawyer representing the State Of Mas
sachusetts, who was in Charleston simp-
ly to try case in the L nited States court,
and he remained.
The sheriff waited on him with
warning that he would be lynched. The
prominent lawyers and business men Of
the city next warned him that his life
was in danger from the order-loving
people" Of Sluth Carolina. He refused
to be frightened from his purpose, and
finally, on December 9Th, when the boat
was about - leave CharIestoa for the
north, the @best citizens" of South Caro-
lima called at the hotel in body, placed
Samuel Hoar and his daughter in a car
riage, escorted them to the boat and
placed them on board. lie was f0rcibly
elected but be was not frightened
Senator Hoar IS a chip off the old
block The frOthings of the Governor of
Alabama and the Southern editors do not
disturb him in the least man in Mas
slchusetts has a right to demand fair
Congressional elections in every part of
the Union, and DO what he can to make
them 30. Bot as like as the Senator IS
70 his father, so Is also the Governor Of
Alabama to-day to the Governor of SOush
Carolina fifty years ago. The sun moves,
but some Of the men in the South stand
just where their gTAndathers stood be-
forr the war.

Sound Political Reactien.

The Republican victories which are
sweeping over the country make a sound
reaction from one Of the most dangerous
political movements this country has
ever known
The three great political dangers to
which this country IS exposed are the
city rings backed by foreign vote, the
lawless iguorauce ofthe South an the
inhationists of the West. The three
are always strong enough united to put
the country in great peril. Add any
share Of the sound, conservative, en-
Iightened vote Of the New England,
Middle and Central States, and the con
try is put in grave peril.
such a combination existed in Novem-
Der. 1892. The city rings fron New
York to san Francisco were Demo
cratic The South acteI with them, as
it has always done William c. Whit
ney and the rest Of the Cleveland cam
paign managers bartered and bargained
with Western Pop1lists and inh4tion-
lists, and secured their votes by running
Coalition electoral tickets in the far
Western State Lastly. the free trade
propaganda won many votes from sound
sober and conservative men Of all classes
in the great prOperty-hOlding States Of
the Union.
This combination brought the tidal
wave Of 1892. It's results have been
disastrous. In single year it brought
prostrating panic, a discredited cur
rency, widespread distrust, parzlyEed
industries, idle men, idle capital and
communities in which no one was busy
but the Sheriff The lesson has done
its work For two months past local
elections from Maine to Illinois nave
told the same story. In the great in
dustTial communities which lie between
these two States which hold one half
the population, or in 1890, 100000 out
of 62,O0OOO0, and considerably over
two thirds ofthe wealth Of the country.
election after election has shown that
the voters in this region have awakened
to their danger and are breaking away
from the combination in which they
were trapped
Every one Of the States west Of the
Mississippi and north of the Ohio and
Potomac would be Republican if an
election were held today. In all these
States, local elections this spring have
emphasized the result reached last fall.
The city rings, the South and the infa-
ton West are not united strong enough
alone to ruin this country. They came
dangerously near it in 1892; but it is
now plain that next fall will ind this
combination Of the worst dangers which
threaten the Republicans in a minority
in the House and two years more will
show them in q minority in the Senate
and the Electoral College.-PhiladslphiG

Thrifty Carelessness.

A very amusing story IS told by a
famous story teller about a harness
maker who lived many years ago in
London. He had a handsome saddle N
his shop occupying conspicuous place
therein. On his return from luncheon
one day be observed that saddle vas
gone. Calling 10 his foreman, he said
"John, who has bought the saddle ."
am sure I don't know, sir said the
foreman, scratching his head IS if he
were tying to think. Il cannot tell,
and the worst part of it is it hasn't been
paid for While was at work in the
back part Of the shop a gentleman came
in, priced it, decided to take it, told me
to charge it, and throwing it into his
wagon, drove OFF before could think to
ask his name"
That was very stupid of you" said
the harness maker, disposed to be an
CRY at the mans earelessness- VERY
likely we have been robbed"
Il don't think that, sir, said the fore
man, ''for I'm very sure that the gen.
tleman has traded here before
"Well, can't afford to lose the mon
ey," said the harness maker. @Well
have TO find out who took it and send
him the bill. All /" he added with a
smile, after moments reflection. Il
have it Wen charge it up 70 the ac-
count Of every one Of our customers who
keep accounts here. Those who didn't
get it will refuse to pay, 50 We shall be
all right
The bookkeeper was instructed 70 DO
this, and the bills in due course Of time
went out. Some weeks later the harness
maker asked the bookkeeper if he had
succeeded in discovering who the custom
sr was.
"No, sir" he replied, @and We never
shall, / fear, sir, for about fourty persons
have paid for it without saying 4 word" !"
