THE LOSS OF THE LEADERS.

No loss that the democrats have
quences than that Of their leaders in
the House OF Representatives. To
say nothing of the men who have
been recognized leaders Of the party
in recent congresses, there are not
enough experienced members left to
fill the democratic assignments on the
important committees.
Of those that remain, only Speaker
Crisp, McMillin, of Tennessee, Catch
ings, Of Mississippi, Turner Of Georg-
ia, and McCreary, of Kentucky, are
certainly elected. With the excep-
ton of Catchings and McCrsAry, the
chairmen of the important commit
tees of the present House will not be
members Of the Fifty fourth Congress,
unless Sayers Of Texas, is elected,
which seems doubtful.
Among the prominent democrats
who are members of the Fifty third
congress, but who will not be in the
Fifty fourth, are Breckinridge, of
Arkansas; Bourke Cochran, Warner,
Isidor Strauss Tracey and Lockwood
of New York; Outhwaite, Harter and
Tom Johnson Of Ohio; Whiting of
Michigan; Hooker Of Mississippi;
Hatch, Hall, Bland, De Almond and
possibly Dockery of Missouri; Fifth
ian, Springer and Black of Illinois;
Holman, Cooper and Bynum, Of Indi-
ana; Montgomery, Caruth and Breck-
inridge Of fKentucky; Rayner and
Compton sof Maryland; Stevens, Ev-
erett and O'Neil, of Massachusetts,;
Sayers Of Texas; George D. Wise of
Virginia, and William L. Wilson, of
West Virginia.
The democrats have elected from
sixty to siXty-fve of their old NOM
bers. They now hold 1853 places on
the leading committees of the House.
On the same committees the repub
icans now have membership of 100.
The democrats have not enough old
members to make up the minority Of
the leading committees.
The people make no discrimination.
Friends and foes of the Wilson bill,

deplorable than in the mere loss of

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

Chairman Reed of the House and
Barber of the Senate, are compliment
ed for their diligence in pushing for
ward the work of the judiciary COM
mittees of the two houses. The joint
committee has had great deal of
extra labor in the work of the revis-
ion of the laws.
The most important subject before
the legislature has been that of edu-
cation; the various bills have receiv
ed very considerate treatment. The
disposition seems to be to do the very
best things possible.
The subject of Normal schools is to
be investigated, with a view of con-
solidation. 1t is thought that one
would be better than three. II SO,
why not do away with the Normal
school entirely; let every academy
and high school so teach as to qualify
it's students for the work of teaching.
The State flower question is settled
in the choice of the red clover. This
was a matter of vast Importance and
it is well that it is settled SO the pub
lie mind can rest.
The House has passed the bill ap-
propriating 1000 for the fish hatch
cry establishment. That junket seems
to have resulted in the large appro-
priation asked for. By the way the
Burlington junket seems to have been
effectual in getting militia drill camp
in that vicinity.
The greetings of the legislature
were sent to Hon. Levi P. Morton,
governor elect of New York, on his
magnificent victory. Mr.. Morton was
a native of Vermont. He telegraphed
a suitable reply.
A bill is somewhere in the mill
permitting towns to go back to the
district school system on a two thirds
vote at the March election in 1895.
It is to be amended by special COM
mittee.
It is proposed to give the insane

A PROPHECY FULFILLED.

Ex-Speaker Reed in the memorable
debate in the House last August made
use of the following, which will be of
renewed interest in the light of facts
as we now witness them:
ssThe gentleman from West Virginia
and his compatriots appear before us
now, not as the triumphal reformers,
marching to glory at the souA of their
own sweet voices. They are little
babes in the wood, and 1t will be
found pretty soon that they we're left
there by their uncle in the White
House. And methinks I can hear
the coming of the little birds
bearing the ballots that are to bury
them out of sight. But thsir fate is
of small consequence. Their disap-
pearance is the least of this event.
'sGreat God! has not this country
suffered enough during the last twelve
months, that these men shoaEld come
and assure it that their ravages are to
continue? I tell you, when the peo-
pie of this country get an opportuni-
ty to express their opinion Of it you
will listen to it more intently and with
sadder hearts than you have to-day.
I wish [ could congratulate the coun-
try upon something, and l wlll-upon
the speedy departure Of incompetent
cy.
"You will cry for the mountains to
fall on you after you have passed this
bill. You know you are IN the last
ditch, but I want to tell you that you
are in the deepest part of that ditch"

TAMMANY.

''Just what is the Tammany society,
and what does the name mean?" asks
a friend. The society of Tammany
was organized in New York in 1889, as
a branch of the Columbian Order, So
called, designed to be counterweight
to the society of the Cincinnati, by
some persons who objected to the ex-
elusive, and, as they called it, "aristo-
cratic'' character of the latter organ
ization. 1t took it's name from a not
ed friendly chief of the Delaware
tribe of Indians, named Tammany.
Its chief officer is a grand sachem;
it's governing board consists of thir-
teen sachems, and it calls the large
building in Fourteenth street in which
are its headquarters and great hall,
"The Wigwam." It's founder was an
Irish American, named Mooney, and
it has always had a large Hibernian
element in it's membership.
Originally a charitable and social
society, it soon became democratic
political machine. The election of
Jefferson as president and Aaron Burr
as vice president. in 1900 was decided
by the result of the election in New
York city, and thatresult was decided
by Tammany. Burr was at that time
the leading spirit of the Tammany So
ciety, as Hamilton was of the Cincin-

The offer of the United States to act
as arbiter in the China Japan war is
not without it's significance to the ma
tions of the earth. For the first time
in her history, if the presidents good
offices are accepted this country will
dictate the means of peace to con-
tending Asiatic powers and bloody
war will be ended, and Corea's inde-
pendence acknowledged. China and
Japan, tired of the selfishness and
avarice of European powers, natural
ly turn forward America and welcome
the proposition of free people, who
have no desire for the acquisition of
foreign territory, and who will treat
them as sister nations.

AT recent election in Hawaii, the
Union party, American, which repre-
sents the annexation sentiment, was
completely victorious. The party is
extremely anxious that the Islands be
annexed to the United States. They
have made property list, also re-
quire citizens to be able to read and

they can vote for senators and repre-
sentatives. They have started out
for a clean and intelligent govern
ment. There is no hope for annexa-

accompanied Burr to the duelling
ground, and one of them was his Sec
ond when he killed Hamilton. The
organization Of the society is two
fold-a ring within a ring. There is
the open society, which anybody who
desires to may join, and which has
thousands Of members, and there is
the inner secret ring, composed of
few perfectly unscrupulous men, who
control the society, parcel out all the
municipal Offices in the metrOpO
and pocket immense sums of money
obtained by the sale Of Offices and
jobs and by blackmail. At the head
of this inner ring is "The Boss' of
Tammany, who is by virtue of his Of
flee the boss of New York city.
William NJ Tweed was the boss for
many years, and welded absolute and
autocratic power until in 1872, he was
hurled from the throne by popular
revolution much like that which cul-
minated recently in the overthrow of
Tammany. Tweed was sent to States
prison for enormous thefts Of the pub
lie money committed by himself and
his pals, and it was said and thought
at the time that Tammany had receiv-
ed death blow; but the snake was
only scotched. 1t has gradually gath
cred power until in 1892 the mayor,
every one of the thirty two aldermen,
and the heads of all the city depart
ments, were Tammany men. OF
course all the subordinates down to
the lowest laborers have worked and
voted solely as directed by Tammany.
Controlling the expenditure of about
$40, 100000 every year the city ex-
penditures of New York in 1898 were
$38, 1854, ,OOO-it has been an enormous
corruption fund at it's disposal-and
how much of it has gone into the
pockets of Boss Croker and his sa-
chems no one knows. Having, thro'
the excise board, power to grant or
refuse licenses, Tammany has abso-
lutte control of all the grogshops and
saloons, and the unquestioning allie
glance of their keepers. Every po-
Hceman works for Tammany. Tam
many has placed depraved and de-
bauched ruffians on the bench of city
courts and thus controls the admins
tration of what takes the place of JUS
tice in that city. Controlling the cleo
ton machinery, it has, till this last
election when the uprising of the cit
izens made it's managers afraid to eX-
ercise the power, been able to count
in many men who were not-elected;
and there have been many elections in
| New York when honest citizens might
as well drop their ballots into the
North river as into the ballot box.
| This, and much more that is bad, is
what Tammany has been and is. 1t is
for the honest men of ali parties in

The railroad commissioners in this
State, in their annual report, have
made one sensible suggestion. They
ask the legislature to pass law "au-
thorizing railroad companies to take
lands adjoining their roads, near high
way grade crossings, for the purpose
of removing obstacles dangerous to
travel and distractions to view Of
approaching trains by highway trav-
elers approaching the same" This is
subject that ought to have been done
years ago, and we hope such law
will be Enterprise.

The officials of the national treasury
report that the deficit for ten months
reaches s3S, 900. 600. This is just $1O,-
100000 more than Cleveland's es-
innate of the total deficit for the
year, all of which shows that the
poorness of the presidents guessing
powers is in full keeping with his ad
ministrative Inability.

THE CAUSES.

The democratic press, now that it
has had time to catch breath, is try
ing to account for the great political
overturn. AS rule the democratic
editor does not assume that his party
has been at fault. The other party is
wrong and his party is right. The
people of both parties have been look
ing. the matter over and have decided
and recorded their decision by an
enormous majority that the demo-
Gratis are at fault. In this case, poll
tics is business; there is no particular
sentiment about it. The old party has
promulgated its principles by a ma
tional platform. President Cleveland
has preached tariff reform in speech,
letter and message; State conventions
of the democratic sort are on record;
democratic statesmen have preached
the free trade doctrine and demo-
cratic congress has passed a mongrel
tariff bill, which is in operation. Re-
suits have followed all these things
and the test has been had by trial and
a brief experience. The rich have
suffered immeasurably. Almost every
kind of property has shrunk in value;
capital invested in stocks has been
swept away. So great was the shrink
age in properties represented by
stocks last year that the figures ran
up into the billions. The owner of
manufactures suffered in depreciation
of the value of goods; vlaborers felt
the change in cut wages Or in non
employment; farmers felt the influ-
ence of the new administration of
things in deprecated products. Ev-
erybody felt the damaging results Of
a change in business and political af
fairs
All these people finally had a chance
to vote and they recorded at the bal
iot box their opinions and their wish
es. 1t was tremendous verdict
against President Cleveland'3 system
and the purposes and doings of his
party. Il will be too much to expect
that this great public decision will
change the hearts or the heads of the
dyed in the wool, but it has changed
the opinions of thousands and thous-
ands of voters, and it ought to have
taught the Bourbons lesson that will
help them TO keep nearer in line with
the wishes of the people during the
remainder of the time given them to
work out their utter destruction or to
be converted to better ideas and bet
ter performances.
