To THE ErIroR: What VAS the political
complexion of congress when Cleveland
was inaugurated What changes have
been made since? WHAT states elect this
fall? What will be the probable result OF
these elections in the several states. and
what the probable result of election OF sen-
ators? d. h.
when Cleveland was inaugurated the
house stood: 2l9 Democrats. l27 Re2ub-
iicans. 10 Popuiists. 1t now stands: 2l5

TO unseat two Republicans and the Repuo-
leans will gain seat at speei.l election

house will stand: 219 Democrats, IL Re-
publicans. 10 Populists. When Cleveland
was inaugurated the senate stood: III

day. but the New Jersey legislature is Re-
publican and will retire Senator McPher-
son.

necticu:. Delaware. Idaho. Iowa. Kansas.
Kentucky, Maine. Massachusetts,. Michi-

Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island.
South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas. Wyo-
ming and Wisconsin elect state tickets
and most of them legislatures: New Jer-
sey and Washington elect legislatures;
Ohio elects minor state officers.
1t We may judge the drift of opinion by
the recent elections for congressman in
New York city and Pennsylvania. every
Northern state will go Republican this
fall and choose Republican congressman.
The Republicans have already gained
senator in New Jersey. and are almost
sure to gain another IN Kansas The three
vacant seats will also be filled with Repuh-
licans. so after next March the senate will
have AZ Republicans. As Democrats. Pop
uiists. and the Democrats will still be ON
top.

TRYING TO SELL FORNIE RINGS.
A Pair or Crooks Captured With Bogus
Gold .yewelrv.

J. Murray and J. Corners were arrested
by Detective Philbrick at IL o'clock last
night and locked up on suspicion. They
are hard-looking citizens, but the only
thing agaIns, them definitely known is
that for the past day or two they have
been seen trying to dispose of "fornie"
rings on the streets Of the variety district.
'Fornie" is cant word among crooks,
meaning pinchbeck or false gold. The
men we're stopping passers-by aud trying
to dispose of the rings as stolen, or on
other false pre,enses, for fraction Of the
value of genuine gold. Pm lbrick found
them playing the game on South Third
street and arrested them. They threw the
rings away before they were captured,
however. and there 10 probably no EVIL
dence to convict them unless other charges
are preferred.
Corners is thought from his manner and
dress to have been recently released from
some penitenfiary. He Is stranger in
town. but Murray is known to the police
as suspicious character. He was arrested
last week on suspicion. but released.

A HARD FIGHT.
NOVEMBER, 1894.

The alleged suffers are making hard
fight in Judge Wallace's court. II don't
remember" and 81 decline to answer" are
the burden of the responses to the ques-
lions of attorneys and the court also. One
alleged suffer is in jail for contempt on a
stereotyped decline to answer. but the
men who employed him are confident that
hsbeas corpus process can be made to
purge him Of contempt This action of
the Justices of the Supreme Court brings
to mind the assistance which that court
rendered certain political agents of the
Southern Pacific Company when the Wal
lace Grand Jury was showing its teeth.
One would suppose that in a case where
the only purpose of a court was to protect
the ballot-box there would be unity of
thought and action among all Judges of
whatever rank. Certainly no one would
look for loophole of escape for suffers
through the highest court in the State if
that court bad not taught The people of the
State that il does not always look to law
books for its law. But If Judge Wallace
is not sure Of the support of the Supreme
Court he can rely upon the support of
pine-tenths of the people. The men who
are making such desperate efforts to keep
facts from going on record are making a
record for themselves

THE PIVOTAL STATE.

In the recent election New York papers
assumed that the Outlying provinces"
had their eyes fixed upon the Empire State
and were ready to receive instructions in
the science of government from that quar-
ter. The Sun admitted that there would
be elections in other States of some sig
nificaucr, but considered all these affairs
as skirmishes leading up to the great
battle which was taking place in New
York. The Sun has probably discovered
by this time that while New York stands
at the head of The column, its verdict no
longer determines results. There is no
disposition to withhold from New York
any influence or credit to which she is en-
TITLED, but her incessant assumption of
superiority is irritating.

CONSULAR REPORTS.

A Washington dispatch says that the
Statistical Bureau of the Department of
State has published advance sheets of con-
.sutar repOTts from United States Cousuls
which show that the Mckinley tariff had
caused general depression abroad. These
same reports show that the new tariff has
had stimulating effect upon foreign in
dustrieS. From Sheffield, England, news
GENES Of a revival of trade in consequence
of the increased American demand for
Sheffield cutlery. MsrseiIles, in France,
Is experiencing like revival over the
prospect of increasing exports of French
fnery.
Our free-trade friends think the Ameri-
can people ought to rejoice over the effect
OF the present tariff upon foreign indus
tries. Their answer to the reminder that
TO the extent Of the increase in foreign
importations home industries must be de-
pressed is that when foreigners can find
market for their wares they VIII buy our
cotton and grain. But the friends of
protective tariff reply that it is better for
Americans 10 make wares at home than to
Import them and pay for them with wheat
and cotton at current prices. This is the
point where free-traders and protectionists
part. Inc free-traders Imagine that pros
perity may be found in producing raw
material and in purchasing the finished
article. The protectionists contend that
the profits of work lie 10 converting raw
material into finished goods. In working
out this problem the history OF one coun-
try affords little light to another. Condi-
tiOns determine whether or not free trade
may be made profitable. When one ma
ton is assured from general survey off
the conditions prevailing that it can hold
its own market and stand at least an even
show in the markets of the world a free
trade policy may be adopted with CON-
paratively little danger. But the United
States has not YET reached that condition,
and never can while it maintains rates of
wages materially higher than are main
tanned in competing countries.

AMERICAN-BoRN CHINESE.

There is an idea that every male child
born in the United States may vote on
reaching the age of q. The question has
never been judically settled, however
whether the male offspring OF a man in
capable of acquiring the franchise by the
ordinary process of naturalization is in a
legal sense American born. 1t is presumed
that distinction between races and ma
tionalities of SO grave a character is found
ed on some serious dsqualifcations. The
Mongolian race is denied the privilege of
naturalization on the ground of nom
assimilation. The Chinese remain Chi
nese wherever they may CO. If they die
In foreign land they want to have their
bones taken back to the land of their
birth. 1t may be questioned If race so
tenacious of its traditions can become
good citizens Of another country. The
children OF Chinese parents born in Amer
ira remain Chinese in al essential re-
spects. They are taught the religion of
their people and required TO follow their
national customs. They do not mingle
with American children at school or In
social life. 1t may be that the courts will
hold that birth carries the right to vote,
but so long as naturalization is prohibited
to Mongolians it does not seem certain
that the son of foreigner who is not al
lowed to become citizen stands ON the
same footing as the son Of foreigner who
may become citizen.

A REPUBLICAN SHIP.

At Philadelphia yesterday the steam
ship ST. Louis was launched at Cramps
shipyard. Mrs. Cleveland christened the
vessel and the President witnessed the
launch At luncheon shortly after the
event of the day Charles Ii. Cramp made
an address of welcome to the President, in
which he seemed to credit MI Cleveland
and his administration with a ship build
ing policy which was instrumental In pro-
ducing the st. Louis
Next TO the two great Cunarders, the
Campania and Lucania, the ST. Louis is
the largest merchant steamer afloat. There
is some reason to believe that she may
surpass the Cunarders In speed. She is
built on American plans. by American
workmen. of American material. She will
be the first American built ship to take her
place in the "AmercaD," once known as
the ''Inman," line between New York and
England. A sister ship is in course of
construction at the Cranp yard.
These ships were laid down by virtue of
an act of the Fifty-second Congress, which
admitted the then Inman liners City of
New York and City of Paris to American
registry on condition that two American
built ships o! equal or greater tonnage
should be added to the service. The bill
was Republican measure, and was OBJ
posed by q very considerable Democratic
element. headed in the Senate by Mills of
Texas. President Harrison promptly
signed it. No doubt Mr.. Cramp was glad
to say something pleasant ard compli-
mentary to his guest, President Cleveland.
yesterday. but Mr.. Cleveland had nothing
whatever to do, directly or indirectly. with
the creation of the St. Louis.
AS to the Ship building policy of Mr.
Cleveland,s present or former admiuistra-
ton it is enough to say that he found a
bodybuilding programme cut out for him
by the preceding Republican administra-
tion when he took Office in 1885. Four Of
The ships were then approaching compile
ton. Mr.. Cleveland's administration dur
ing his first term followed the lines thus
laid down for it by Congress and rublic
opinion. His Secretary of the Navy,
Whitney, showed a strong disposition to
60 TO Great Britain for plans Of naval con-
stTuctioD, not always with the best results.
but be administered his department faith
fully and efficiently. Mr.. Cleveland's
second administration, with Democratic
Congress, has witnessed almost a total
cessation Of bodybuilding, except in the
completion of vessels already in course of
construction. The whole policy of de-
velOpiDg our resources of steel ship-b build
ing, armor and gun-making is Repu blican
to the core-thr policy of the encourage
ment by legislation of American manu-
featuring industries and no pretty
speeches by Mr.. Cramp, or any one else,
can alter the fact. Indeed. when we
began new bodybuilding many of Mr..
Cleveland's political frien0s thought it
would be cheaper and better to buy our
ships in Europe than to try to buil1 them
ourselves. 1t is quite possible that had
we then been saddled with a Democra ic
free-trade Congress and administration
that very thing would have been done. As
1t happens the s.. Louis floats to-day as a
Yiudication of Republican policy.
