AN ANGLICIsED AMERICAN

Since his return to the United States,
after a residence of eighteen months in
London. ambassador Bayard has made two
distinct utterances. Almost Immediately
after landing from the steamer he
hastened to declare that the tariff
reform movement in this country had just
begun and that the war on American indus
tries must be continued without cessation
until the last vestige of protection should
be rooted out of our laws.
Mr.. Bayard was invited to the banquet
given by the London Chamber of Com
merce to Congressman Wilson in recogni-
ton OF his services as leader of the free
trade party in Congress. He sent his re-
grets, but it could not have been because
he was not in full accord with Mr.. Wilson's
views. The mention of his name at the
banquet was received with cheers only less
enthusiastic than those which greeted the
guest Of the evening when he informed his
hearers that 'our tariff reformers are
breaking down the defenses erected 10 keep
you and other nations from competing with
US in our home market" Though Mr..
Bayard was prevented by other engage
ments from attending the banquet he
doubtless read with pleasure the next
morning that the Edinburgh Chamber of
Commerce had sent a telegram OF con-
graduation to Mr.. Wilson. No doubt. also,
he experienced a thrill of satisfaction when
he read the statement of Sir Albert Kay

SEPARATED TWENTY YEARS.

twenty years. Each had believed the other
dead, but each had remained faithful. The
man had become bronzed, burly and beard
ed since his wife had seen him, and she
had grown plump and comedy with her
forty years. This romance was begun
nearly a quarter of a century ago in
Southampton, England. Sheffield was a
bluff and honest young seaman, the cap
tain of a ship. His home was In Dover,
but his ship loaded at Southampton once
and there he met pretty Ellen Marshall.
She was a bright-eyed. rosy young girl,
full Of good spirits. and Sheffield loved her
and told her so. Edward and Ellen were
married and set up a little home. Two

BASIS OF CONFIDENCE IN INDIANA.

Many people who are specializing in re-
gard to the result in Indiana seem to have
entirely forgotten the significance of the
city and town elections last April and May.
Now. IL all these people who forget such
things will refresh their memories they will
discover that in no State in which elections
have been held the past eleven months, and
in which the Democracy throughout the
North was overwhelmed as 1t never was be-
fore. was the revolution more disastrous to
the Democratic managers than in the local
elections in Indiana six months ago. Ex-
cept In a half dozen places the elections in
over a hundred cities and towns showed
Republican gains, and in many Of them
very large gains. Doubtless local issues
affected the results here and there. but such
a series of Republican gains and Demo-
i~sfaction with Democratic management Ma
tional and State issues undoubtedly affected
the result. In seventeen cities there was a
Republican gain of 1888 compared with the
presidential election of 1892, and the Repub-
lican vote was over 100 larger in the city
than in the presidential election. 1t is said
that the Democratic vote was not polled
as in the past. Why was it not? The rea-
son which the Sentinel and other Demo-
cratic papers assigned for the falling off
was a widespread dissatisfaction with the
Senate because it did not pass the Wilson
bin. Subsequently, the Senate and the Dem
ocratic House passed the bill which the
Sentinel denounced as "the defled BILL"
and which Mr.. Cleveland stigmatized as a
measure of party perfidy." Has this &C
ton allayed the disgust of April and May?
Doubtless the Democratic managers will
bring many Of the discontinued into line
in November, but the party policy and the
party Congress have not accomplished any
thing to mitigate the distrust and the dis
gust which Mr.. Cleveland portrayed in the
Wilson letter. Wages have continued lower
than IN 1892: the number of unemployed is
yet large; the price of farm products is yet
n incident to the industrial paralysis which
caused the Cleveland panic in June, 1895.
In view of these facts, Republicans should
put forth the most strenuous efforts to win
a victory, Nov. 6, which shall be as en-
phatic as that in Oregon, Rhode Island.
| Pennsylvania, Vermont and Maine. But
they must see to it that in every precinct
every possible vote is polled. And this
means every man who calls himself a Re-
| publican.

THE sELF-CoNvrCTED LocHREN.

Under date of Washington, Oct. 1, the
agent of the Associated Press sent out for
Pension Commissioner Lochren the follow
ing statement:
Emphatic denial was made to-day by
Commissioner OF Pensions Lochren of a
statement published in the West that he
had sent letters to Democratic postmasters
stating that communications concerning
pensions will be held as confidential If re-
queSted, or II or a nature requiring 1t TO
be so held. Commissioner Lochren said:
Il never sent out such a letter, nor do l
being officially sent out from here. We
have never sought records of pensioners in
that way. The story is purely a fabrica-
ton"
The above would seem to be conclusive,
but 1t is not. The Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette publishes a fac-simile of the letter
which the COMMISSIONS sent to an Ohio
postmaster recently upon the assumption
that he is a Democrat when he is a Re-
publican. 1t is a typewriter letter upon
the official paper of the Bureau of Pen
sions. and reads as follows:
WASHINGTON, d. c., Tune 5, 1894.
Postmaster. - Ohio:
Dear Sir-Communications in respect to
pensions will be held as confidential II re-
QueSted, or III the nature or the communities
ton is such that 1t ought to be so held.
Yours very truly, VIM.
Commissioner.
The fac-simile of the envelope, except the
name of the postmaster and address. is
also given, showing that the letter was
inclosed in an official envelope and mailed
June 6, 1885,.
There can be no m~istaking the purpose
of the foregoing letter. 1t is an invitation
for postmasters to send to the Pension
Bureau information which can be made a
rretext for calling upon them to furnish
apostolic proof, or else have a pensioners
re dropped from the roll. 1t is an in
!. yi,ato On to postmasters to act as spies, and,
be lind the cover of absolute security. to
CO wardly assail any Union pensioner who
may have displeased the particular post
master by political activity or by any other
act.
How many similar letters has Hoke
Smiths self-convicted tool sent out to post
masters? There are over 10000 postmas-
tiers In the United States-how many of
them has Commissioners Lochren secretly
enlisted TO ambush and shoot down Union
pensioners? Five. ten or forty thousand?
Have other federal officers of the Demo-
cratic persuasion received similar secret
| commissions to become cowardly spies?

1s60 to 1890. The last Of these reports shows
that the total wealth of the United States
IL greater than that Of any other country
in the world. and the most of this vast
accumulation was made under Republican
policies and administrations
During all this time the Democratic
party was In opposition. 1t was a party Of
protest and reaction. In so far as ii had
any political influence 1t was a dead weight
on national progress and a constant men,
ace to the honor and credit Of the govern
ment. At last, by the greatest political
confidence game ever played on a deluded
people, it succeeded in getting into power
and for two years past has had undisputed
control of the government. What is the re-
suit? Again we say it appears in the cur
rent history of the times. 1t is a record Of
political imbecility, of administrative in
competence, of legislative bungling and Of
business depression and disaster unpar-
alleled. The Democratic party has shown
that 1t can criticise, attack and hinder; that
it can hang on the wheels of progress and
shout "I object" but when II comes to do
anything positive, to leading. directing or
creating it is worse than worthless. As q
party in power it is not only incapable of
doing any good, but is compelled by the law
of its nature and its controlling dement's
to do evil continually. Now that the people
have learned this by experience 1t becomes
their patriotic duty to restore the Repub-
lican party to power. Not to do so will be
to invite a continuance of the national hui
initiation and disaster that have character
lied the last two years. The change should
begin with the House of Representatives
and should proceed as rapidly as possible
through every branch of the government.
