A Protection Mugwump's Views.

Henry Charles Lea of Philadelphia
contributes to a recent number of
Harper's Weekly the following trench
ant arraignment of the party that
was victorious in the last national
election and the administration that,
during the first year of its existence,
has made a dismal wreck of the in
dustrial and commercial interests of
this nation. We commend this article
to perusal in its entirety:
Gas an original mugwump Of re.
publican antecedents who has never
hesitated to act with the democracy
when the public good seemed to demand
it, or to denounce the errors and abuses
of both parties, / may possibly be able to
take not wholly prejudiced view of
the political situation.
"TO understand it Alright we must
cast backward glance on the election
of 1892. The canvass of that year on
the part of the democracy was the bold.

exceeding $4,000 was adopted. For
his proceedings in this connection, the
president was severely scored. Mr..
Hill said the income tax had been pro-
posed by neither of the great political
parties, and denounced the measure "as
a tail to the populist kite" The sub
stitution of internal or direct taxes for
custom house taxation means, Mr.. Hill
declared, {" the degradation of American
labor, the denial to our workmen of the
comforts of life to which they have
been accustomed. Deny it or disguise
it as we may, no other result is possible
under existing European conditions
Mr.. Hill hit straight out from the
shoulder to the end, and his blows will
hardly conduce to democratic harmony
or the success of the Wilson bill, and
very likely the senator didn't expect OF
desire that they should.

A Scientific Problem.

AS civilization advances over the
trackless waste of forest and plain there
are number of animals that gradually
are pushed to or beyond the verge of
extinction. They have filed their place
in the worlds economy and have be-
come little more than queer curios, fit
for the museum. The great aux and
the dodo are found only in museums;
the moose and the bison, the grizzly
bear and the seal, it is said, are becom-
ing rarer every year. In this country,
it appears from statistics recently COL
lected with great care by the United
Press, scientific association dealing
with facts of current interest, that the
"democrat is on the way to join the
great auk-on an awkward path, as it
were. The rapid rush of the democrat
in this country towards extinction is
most appalling, but can hardly be
doubted in the light of the positive
data already collected. This member
of the genus homo, of a species re-
sembling the chameleon in ability to
make constant changes of political tint,
was very abundant in this country only
a few years ago. This week there have
been published statistics collected from
Rhode Island, Illinois, Colorado, Con-
necticut, Nebraska, Kansas, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, New York and elsewhere;
and arguing from the remarkable show
ing thus presented, it is impossible to
doubt that the democrat is on the wav
to snare the fate of the drumlie and
dropsical dodo. In fact, there seems 10
be but three places where democrats
can be numerously discovered by search
ing naturalsts to-day; on the arid plains
of Texas, in Washington, d. and at
Sing Sing, N. Y. Even in Texas, it
is reported that the number has de-
creased notceably. AT Sing Sing the
number of democrats is large, and in
deed increasing, owing to certain legal
steps taken in connection with election
frauds at Gravesend, New York city,
and Other points in the Empire state,
and the Sing Sing collection is guarded
very jealousy by the curator of the
museum there. The presence of so
many democrats at Washington is ex
planned by the circumstance that they
are fed on fascinating fruit called
" official plums," and this diet has
served to noursh a large number of
democrats of the species now known to
scientists as " COccyzus democraticus
or the Wilson billed cuckoo" together
With the Siver-billed" species, aso
found at the capital. TIE Wilson
BILL" from which the democratic
species is named, seems to be largely
responsible for the dreaded extinction.

the democracy, which considered this
shrewdness no bar to his elevation to
the presidency, complain if his exam
pie should be initiated. Statesmen in
framing legislation take all such ee-
ments into consideration, but states
manship seems to be lost art to the
party in power.
1t is useless for those who voted
for Mr.. Cleveland in the fond belief
that he was better than his party to
look to him for relief. When he ac-
cepted Office at the hands of such for
tuitous agglomeration of incongruous
factions as that which was frauduently
gathered to his support, he forfeited all
influence over his supporters save that
derived from the prostitution of patron.
age, and this is an influence which nee
essarily exhausts ITSELF Nor can there
be any sane expectation of help from
president who, during period of such
unexampled national distress, busies
himself in quixotic endeavors to right
the wrongs of dusky savage damsels in
the Pacitic-a knight errantry which
Professor Woolsey has shown to be
eminently superfluous, and which un-
pleasantly suggests the fiddling Of Nero
while Rome was burning.
The only comfort which a lover of
his country can extract from the situa-
ton is the hope that it cannot last.
The unhallowed combination which
elected Mr.. Cleveland is a rope of sand,
and is rapidly resolving itself into its
original elements, as one section after
another discovers that the multitudn-
Gus and incompatible pledges given in
his name must be dshonored. What is
to be the result it is impossible yet to
forecast. The recent elections are en-
couraging, inasmuch as they indicate a
revival and reconciliation of conserva-
tism--a protest against the innovating
radicalism into which the democratic
party has found itself forced.
" On the other hand, there are pros
poets which are by no means reassur-
ing. The socialistic alliances of the
democracy have given to the wild theo-
ries of populism national character
which may render them supremacy dan
gerous in the near future. OF this we
have foretaste in the support which
the South has secured from the West
for its income-tax project. Democracy
may find in socialism its Frankenstein.
We may be on the threshold of a new
division of parties, in which all the con-
sentative elements of the nation may be
forced to rally around the republican
standard as the sole hope of resisting a
series of disastrous experiments which
will threaten the very fabric of so.

Guarding Against Cholera.

AN international sanitary convention was
held last week in Paris to devise means to
guard against the cholera during the COM
ing summer. Three series of precautionary
measures were adopted by the conference,
taken at ports in India from which pilgrims
for Mecca embark. The second series pro-
vides for the reorganization of the Turkish
lazerettos in the Red Sea. The third series
relates to precautionary measures in the
matter of the return of pilgrims from Mecca
by the lazarettos of Tor, in Arabia Petrea,
on the east shore of the Gulf of Suez. The
conference has earnestly urged the Turkish
government to reorganize its sanitary adj
ministration thoroughly, with a view OF
preventing the introduction of cholera into
Europe by land. If the decisions and rec
concentrations of the conference are carried
out, it is believed that the importation Of
cholera into the United States and Europe
will be effectually checked.

A Political Landslide.

The political turnover in Rhode Island
last week was without parallel in the his
tory of that state. All thelprominent demo-
Gratis were overthrown in their own strong
holds, and the next United States senator
will surely be republican. In the last
election forty-one democrats in the house
and fourteen in the senate were elected.
Now they have three senators and three
representatives ID. Russell Browns plu-
rality for governor was over 5000, in total
of $1,000 votes, On joint ballot the senate
and house will stand republicans one hum
dred, democrats six, independent one. The
complexion Of the legislature insures the
election of Ex-Governor George Peabody
Wetmore to succeed Senator Dixon in the
United States senate.

GENERAL discomfort seems to prevail in
Chilli, and the political situation there is
distressing, No attempts are made by
many prominent men in Valparaiso to con-
ceal their animosity toward the present
government Even officers of the former
congressional army are heard to deplore the
overthrow of Balmaceda. President Montt
is said to be man of good principles, but
wholly under the sway of his ministers.
Chill are experiencing riots and disturb.
ances on nearly all public occasions. The
feeling against Americans there is intensely
bitter, and American interests are suffering.
From what can be learned, the position
taken by the United States toward Chilli is
regarded TO have been that of bully. The
inference Is thrown out that British inter.
ference has done much to bring about this
condition Of things.

A Breeze from "Spunky LamOille."

Lamoille county, or that part of the
spunky realm in and around Hyde Park,
seems to be somewhat gusty region
politically. Two years ago, in the con-
test for governor, the Aous of the
county seat now and then blew an
erratic blast into the contest for the
governorship, and now his breezy
majesty swings open the portals of his
cave, and lol his pent-up messengers
go scurrying over the state, whistling
and Kissing warning to the people to
keep their eyes on the brigade of aspir-
ants for the office of lieutenant COVER
nor. Every mothers son of them, the
windy oracle fears, may be conspirator
for the Office of governor in the year of
our Lord 1900, and must be placed I'M
der bonds never to aspire to that office
or become candidate for its honors.
The old direct promotion shackle, roar
the winged winds, has indeed been
broken, but new one has been forged
in the nomination of Colonel Fuller in
1892, after an interregnum of one term,
and in the proposed choice of Colonel
Woodbury. after a similar descent to the
ranks of unofficial citizenship. But,
oddly enough, King Holus, while in
strident notes inveighing against new
form of the old bondage, is briskly ply
ing his bellows to blow, to white heat,
the freslto weld the iron for the new
letters. Queer old Nolus! "Thou
wear lions hide? Doff it for shame,
and hang calf-skin," etc. But is not
our Lamoille friend and quondam gon-
falonier unduly exercised? Is there
any call for political Mysteries at this
stage of the impending crisis? The
whole thing has strong flavor of
Quixotism. In advocating the nomi-
nation of Colonel Fuller two years
ago, we had no fear of establishing
a new and vicious precedent, and
our hair is not standing on end to-day
that act, in this or in any coming year
of grace. When the time comes for
disposing of this matter, the people will
deal with it as they did with its
predecessor. Meantime no aspirant for
the office of acknowledgement who
regards his manhood will barter that
article of personal adornment for even
so savory mess of pottage as the
lieutenant-go vernorship by forswearing
any of the inalienable rights of citizen
ship. 1t is not necessary to do this act
of reimbursement. We firmly believe
in the widest reasonable distribution of
public offices. We have record fairly
clear in the matter of promoting lieu
tenant-governors to the office of COVER
nor, but we fail to see what reason or
pertinency there can be in bringing the
subject of deferred promotion up at this
time, and we certainly would not sup
port for the second place on the state
ticket any man who would woo that
honor by pledging himself never to be-
come candidate for the first place !;
firmly believing at the same time in the
wisdom of a general practice and under
standing that the occupancy of the
lieutenant governors Office shall round
out the occupants political career as
the holder of state executive office.

OBJECT TO THE COSTS.

School District Of the City Of Carbondale
Refuses to Pay Fees of NJ. A. Mckinley,
in the Collins. Hughes Election Contest.
Attorney M. A. Mckinley yesterday
began proceedings to collect his fees
from the Carbondale school district as
stenographer in the election contest
between j. j. Collins and P. +. Hughes
for the office of school director of the
Third and Fourth wards. of Carbon
dale.
In the petition which he presented to
court yesterday Mr.. Mckinley sets
forth that he was appointed by the
court to transcribe the testimony in the
case in question, and that the court
fixed his fees at S5l9,40, and directed
that they be paid by the school dis
trict Of the city of Carbondale. AL
though he has made a demand for his
fees the district refuses to pay.
He asked that rule be granted to
show cause why mandamus execu-
ton should not be issued against the
district. Judge Gunster granted the
rule and made it returnable Oct. q at
a. m.
The contest between Mr.. Collins and
Mr.. Hughes was never looked on with
much favor by the citizens Of Carbon
dale, and they are very much averse to
paying the large bill of costs that 1t
has entailed.

The promise of the Cambro-American
Concert company to visit Llanelly was

when large and appreciative audience
assembled at the Market hall. The event
was held under the auspices Of the
Llanelly Foot Ball club, and was
distinguished success. The artists COM

with a brilliant Interpretation of the
quartette, Star of Descending Night
by Joseph p. Burns, Miss Sadie Kaiser,
Miss Cordelia Freeman and James
Anwyl, The rich, full baritone voice of
Mr.. Burns was heard to great advant-
age in The Skipper and he was
obliged to respond to the encore.
Miss Aliens violin solo was mas
terpelce, and her superb executant
ability brought down the house. She
reappeared and gave Land of My

says: 1T is to be hoped that the urgent
appeals made to Haydn Evans and his
talented concert company to give q
pledge that the famous Scranton choir
shall be brought over the herring pond
to compete at the Llanelly National
eisteddfod next year will prevail. The
gentlemen who have closely identified
themselves with the Llanelly National
have exhausted their resources in plac-
ing before our Welsh friends the ad-
vantages of visit from the famous
Transatlantic Choral union, and l
earnestly indorse their hope that the
authorities who direct the affairs of the
Scranton choir will decide to enter the
lists of our own pet national. 1t would
be an enormous factor in the success of
the eisteddfod financially and music
ally, because if the choir come, they will
be accompanied by few hundred sup
porters, and the appearance of the choir
in the chief competition would surely
bring down a representative Hudders-

that description would give to the Liam
