REPRESENTATIVE J. w. BABCoCK, of
Wisconsin, who was chairman of the
Republican congressional campaign com
mittee, said at Washing on Tuesday that
no attempt would be made 10y the Re-
publicans to revive the Mckinley bill.
That BILL" he continued, "did not
have the support of one Republican in
five when it passed. 1t was responsible
for the Republican defeat in 1890, and
defeat was one of the strongest ex-
pressions of the intelligence of the Amer
lean people. This widespread intelli-
gence is one of the most gratifying
things to me, as an American citizen
Our people will cross party lines at any
time to rebuke their own party when
they think that it has not dealt fairly

The Pittsburg Post remarks: The re-
suit of the Mongolian war means more
than the independence of Corea and the
reduction of a great and irresponsible
barbaric power. 1t means that Japan
has shown itself worthy of place among
the first nations of the earth, and that it
can now demand equality of treatment
in treaties and diplomatic intercourse
Tie history of Japan for the last 40
years has been most remarkable. From
a condition as bad as, if not worse thar,
than that of China, it has emerged into
the full light of modern civilization, and
now signalizes itself by beating its big
neighbOr into a state of mind that will
enable the latter to recognize the neces-
sity for the abandonment of old-fime
methods of government.

another state hospital near Philadelphia.
where the INDECENT insane now being

IT is rather early, says the Philadel-
phia Times for the soft coal miners in
Clearfield and Jefferson counties to reap
the benefits of campaign orators who
claimed that Democratic success this
year meant no work and deprivation of
wages. Republican speakers said to the
miners at Du Bois and other points that
Republican majOrities would instantly
cure all ills and the majorities were Civ
en-. Ten days after the election the
miners suffered a ten per cent. cut in the
wages, which brings the latter below the
basis fought for in the recent great strike
and there is no redress for that reduc-
ton. The soft coal miners now have a
fine and select opportunity for reflection

Four years ago the Republicans were
defeated in nearly every Northern state,
and in the entire South with a popular
majority of over a million against them
In 1894 the Democrats have suffered g
defeat of equal proportions, and no in
telligent and dispassionate observer OF
political currents can to-day form any
judgment as to the verdict of the nation
in 1896. The people have become cy.
clonic in politics, and the sooner the
leaders of all parties learn that defeat
must ever follow forfeiture of public con.
tidence the sooner will parties be equip

FOR PROTECTION.
Germany Cannot Afford to Part With
Alsace.Lorraine or Posen.
By The Associated Press.

VARsEIN, sept. l7,-Prince Bismarck
yesterday received q large deputation OF
admirers from Stolp, in Ponerania and
Posen. After asking the party to cover
their heads so as TO enable him to do the
same, as his old enemy lumbago was
troubling him, he spoke for nearly an
hour. He thanked the deputation for
the kind wishes expressed in the speeches
of the leaders and then dilated upon the
Polish question.
He declared that the Poles could not be
entitled TO a casting vote In affairs of the
empire. Neither Alsace- Lorraine nor
Posen could ever be given up. Alsace
and Lorraine were necessary for the pro.
lection Of southern Germany, and Posen
was necessary for the protection of the
eastern frontier.
Once in the course of his speech the ex.
chancellor was obliged TO pause for few
minutes owing to severe pains in the back.
Upon the conclusion of the princes speech
the deputation heartily cheered him and
Princess Bismarck, after which patriotic
hymns were sung. A large number OF
gifts products of Posen, were presented to
the prince. After admiring the presents
and thanking the deputation for them
Prince Bismarck invited the COMMITTEES
having charge of the visitors to lunch in
the castle.

DEEPER CANALS.
Project Of Importance to

ToRoSTo. Sept 17-The international
deep water ways convention which opened
here today promises TO be the most inn

matter of the transport OF freight from

provinces TO the seaboard, and It's influence

One OF the greatest schemes To be con-
sidered is the deepening OF the canals
along the 50 Lawrence river, connecting
Lake Ontario and the other great lakes in
the west with tho Atlantic ocean TO a
depth of % feet, so that they will allow the
passage of occan-going vessels 10 Duluth

A BITTER DOSE.
Breckinridge and His Followers Do
Not Take Kindly to Defeat.
By The Associated Press.


FRANKFORT, KY, Sept. l7--Breckin-
ridge men are reluctant to acknowledge
their defeat. Some of them are still claim
ing the nomination of Colonel Breckinridgs
by small majority. They base thsir
hopes of contesting the election on the
fact that the Owens county vote fell of
800 from last fall.
There was report yesterday afternoon
that Owens, Settle and Breckenridge
would issue q card TO the public. This
was on the theory that Breckinridge was
about TO contest the election Breckin-
ridge absolutely refuses To talk. The
most thorough investigation fails co find
shadow of ground for the rumor. Every
body is thoroughly tired of the task that
terminated in the primaries To contest
the election would be to prolong the
struggle. The probabilities, therefore,
seem to be against the contest.e The best
figures gives totals for the candidates as
follows: Owens, 1890; Breckinridee, 1870;
Settle, 3405 Owens plurality $50. Cor
rected returns will probably vary but little
from these figures.
Desha Breckenridge gays he is confident
of his fathers election. Said he: 81 can
not give out a statement by counties, but
our latest reports show Owens plurality
to bo 14l i am sure that the count will
be given us by the district COMMITTEES
when IL meets. II it does not I am not
prepared to say what will follow--may bs
