Wilson on His Defeat

Professor Wilson, in a carefully pre-
pared statement in explanation Of his
party's overthrow, congresses his rea-
sons into the following paragraph:
The counsels of calamity are seldom
wise, and a vast multitude of voters
rush blindly and passionately into the
assaulting ranks with no pure idea of
what they are to gain by doing so. and
with only the consciousness of their
own hurt for which they are eager to
punish somebody and that somebody is
necessarily the ruling, not the minority,
party. Moreover the whole teaching
of the protective system trains men to
depend not on individual effort, the plain
virtues of industry. thrift and temper
ance, for business prosperity and ma
terial comfort, but on government aid
and laws of congress. We may rally
a majority against the system itself
but 1t Is a much harder and longer
task to purge their minds of a gener-
alton of false teaching. Today it is the
Republican party that is the bene.
iiciary of this popular discomfort
More than once in recent elections
it has been the victim of it,.
With reference to Democracy's future
Professor Wilson says much, of which
this Is the essence:
do not believe the people have rebuket
or discarded tariff reform in their actor
last Tuesday. To suppose such thing
would be to accuse the American peopl,
Of levity and flckleness of purpose ut
| terly Inconsistent with capacity for self
government. To contend that the peopl,
have now chastised the Democratic part,
for doing what they put 1t In power to it
Is to question their honesty and intelli
gence. If they have inflicted chastise
ment because of its dealing with the tariff
II has been rather because the party die
not carry out, with sufficient promptnes
and thoroughness, the work they com
| mitted to 1t and because they held tn,
whole party responsible for the actions O
few Of its representatives in thwarting
| delaying and manning this great work
1t is hazardous, of course, to indulge II
hypothetics, but have no doubt that ha,

with credit. II not success.

Demagogism's Emphatic Rebuke.

John Leisenrings official plurality in
Luzerne county over William H. Hines,
for congress, Is 5,470, or exactly 1871
votes more than were given for General
Hastings, who led the remainder of the
ticket. This means that 936 more Demo-
Gratis voted for Leisenring than there
We're Democrats who voted for the Re-
publican candidate for governor. The
Leisenring plurality is by all odds one
Of the finest expressions of popular re-
buke that has ever been administered
to blatant demagogism which seeks to
trade upon public calamity and indi-
vidual misfortune. 1t Is a notification
to Mr.. Hines that his career as a politi-
cal firebrand is at an end; and that, for
one time in their lives, even the Demo-
Gratis of Luzerne county have arisen to
fagellate the windy emptiness of
typical agitator.
When it is remembered at what odds
Mr.. Leisenring fought-how, having
had the temerity to succeed in business;
and to reach an influential position as
wielder of capital and a generous en-
ployer of labor, he naturally became
the target OF envy and the objective
point of socialistic abuse-the victory
which he has won becomes addition
ally lustrous as a tribute to reasserted
common sense and triumphant princi-
pie. Upon the other hand, had he been
defeated, it would have given just
ground for the inquiry whether, after
ALL the ability of the people to govern
themselves discriminatory is not fire.

The New County Fever.

With another session Of the legisla-
ture near, there is noticeable a marked
revival in the new county agitation.
1t Is certain that one new county bill
will be introduced-that to erect por-
tions of Luzerne and Schuylkill into a
third division-and 1t is possible, al
though hardly probable, that the new
Elwood and Anthracite projects-the
former affecting Lawrence, Mercer and
Butlerand the latter mildly threatening
a division Of Lackawanna and Susque-
hanna-may be formulated. In any
event, however, the only one which will
be seriously considered is the one first
mentioned. 1t has twice been before
the legislature. Each time the Luzerne
members who favored it have been Wig
orously assailed because Of their con-
nection with 1t and each time they have
been triumphantly sustained by the
people. This time the claim is made
that the proposition has gained sufflc-
lent momentum to carry 1t in safety
tnrougn mouse ana senate, and before
a Republican governor who will, 1t Is
predicted, accord it his approval.
A new ruse to win favor has beer
adopted by the measures advocates
Heretofore 1t was proposed to call the
new county Halle county. This time
the bill will designate It as Quay coun
ty. The territory in question, that Il
to say, the southwestern part Of Lu
zerne and the northern part Of Schuyl
kill, embraces a population of about
$4,000 persons, and would, in the opin
ion Of the Hazleton Sentinel, which 1,
the new county's persistent champion
make q large and wealthy county
without very much affecting eithel
Schuylkill tor Luzerne. Only a few
townships would be taken from Schuyl
kill, just enough to get the necessar!

Repeal the Income Tax

One of the very first things that the
Republican majority in the Fifty-fourth
congress should undertake to accom-
plish is the repeal of the income tax. 1t
should pass a repeal bill in the house,
indorse it in the senate and send 1t to
the president for him to veto at his
peril. If the vote of last Tuesday
means anything, it means that the peo-
pie do not approve the substitution Of
direct for indirect taxation and, by a
large majority, are not in favor of the
officious intermeddling which would re-
pair its own deficits by levying legal
lied toll upon honest industry and
thrift.
The income tax will soon become
operative, and it will then be seen, to
the satisfaction of the most skeptical,
that 1t Is source of revenue which not
only offends every American tradition
of justice and fair play, but which also
opens the door to rank partiality in it's
assessment and gross frauds in it's col
lection. Beginning upon the founda-
tion Of injustice and inequality, it will
become doubly unequal and unjust
through the wrongs which will attend
its practical enforcement Indeed, We
doubt if it will ever be inforced with
any approach to seriousness, So well
are we convinced that the independent
spirit Of the American people will not
tolerate the intermeddling in their pri-
vate business affairs Of partisan reve-
nue. agents with grudges to vent as well
