Three on the Death Drop.

NEWPORT. Ark. April 6.-For the robbery
of the Fort Worth express train al 0liphani
in November and the cowardly murder Of
Conductor W. P. McNally, three desperadOes-
Thomas Brady, James T. wyrick and John
Y. Hill, were hanged here soon after sunrise
to day.
The desperadOes' crime was committed on
November 3, when with masks on their
faces they, with five others. held up an ex.
press on the St. Louis, Iron Mountain 4
Southern Railroad at Oliphant, eight miles
south Of here They marched the engineer
and fireman up TO the express car door and
compelled them to knock on the door
and ask for admission. The messenger,
believing all was not right, blew out his
light and bolted his door,
Baffied in their scheme the bandits began
TO shoot into the car door and over the car
for effect. Conductor McNally stepped out
of & car, down on the steps, and with a
lantern on his left arm fired one thot in
the direction Of the robbers. As quick as 3
fash the robbers turned about and fired a
fusillade in the direction of the conductor.
A bullet struck McNally in the side and
passed through his body.
Il am shot" was all be said. Baggage
master Chiffon helped him back into a car,
where he died in few moments. The rob
bers plundered the express car Of abO Out
5000, robbed the passengers Of 500 in
money and jewelry and fled.
Hundreds of armed men started in pur-
suit and within two weeks four of the gang
were under arrest. One, G. W. Paddgett,
turned States evidence and helped to con-
yict the rest.

TIE spring elections held in many of
the states last week show that through
out the North and West the people are
falling into line and keeping step to the
music Of Pennsylvania and Ohio. Illi-
nois, Ohio, Kansas, Iowa, Michigan, Mis-
souri, and other States have turned the
tables on the free trade Democracy. and
the Republicans have carried cities and
places wherein the Democrats have hith-
erto held absolute control.
From every part Of the North where
industries have flourished comes up a
popular verdict against the party in pow
er as untrustworthy, vicious and incom-
petent. With but a few inconsequential
exceptions, the verdict is unanimous and
emphatic, and everywhere the people
show determination to stamp upon and
crush out this party now attempting to
wreck the financial and industrial inter
ests Of the country. This is beyond all
doubt Republican year and November
next will be marked by such a political
upheaval as the country never befoie
witnessed. General Grants declaration
that give the Democrats rope enough
and they will hang themselves" is being
bitterly verified.

RHODE ISLAND came hustliug back into
the Republican camp on Wednesday Of
last week with a whoop and a hurrah
that was heard throughout the Union
Last year the Democratic nominee for
Governor had a plurality Of lsS votes
over his Republican opponent Last week
the same two candidates were pitted
against each other, and Brown, the Re
publican, was chosen governor by over
six thousand maj Jrity. But this does
not measure the extent of the Republi-
can triumph. In last years election the
Democrats elected Il members Of the
House and "A in the Senate, leaving them
in a minority of but one on joint ballot,
while at this election they secure but
three senators and three representatives
The Republicans will have 100 votes to
6 Democrats and Independent in the
next Legislature, and therefore Repub-
Iican L. s. Senator viii be elected.
A Republican victory was to be expect
ed in Rhode Island, for the little state is
full of intelligent wage-earners, who
know that wages cannot be maintained
when the prices Of things made by them
are steadily falling and many Of the mills
in which they earn their bread are
closed. In 1891 the Democratic plurality
was 1854; in 1898 it was reduced to lS5,
and now the Republicans sweep the state
by majority of 5000. This remarkable
change marks distinctly the effect Of free
trade legislation upon the votes Of the
people, ard yet the Democratic BOurbons
in Congress will not see the writing on
the wall and stolidly pursue the course
marked out by their Southern leaders
and still insist that the people want star
if reform"

WINE the Democrats in Congress are
doing their level best to pass a bill that
will cripple the industries Of the country
the people, wherever the chance Is af-
foTded them, are expressing their opin-
ions at the polls. From all quarters
comes the same story Of Democratic
strongholds being swept into the Repub-
lican camp and largely increased Repub.
lican msjorities where that party has
hitherto held control.
How much longer this Democratic
Congress, under the lead Of its Southern
masters, viii continue TO ignore the de-
mands Of the people remains to be seen.
The Tariff Destruction bill is at the bot.
tom Of all the country's present troubles.
The people demand protection and the
besotted Democratic leaders will not
hearken 70 them nor heed the warning
given by the late elections. Retribution
will surely follow, but meanwhile the
country must suffer. If ever a people
were punished for their political sins,
the people Of this country are now suf-
fering for the folly of again trusting the
of tried, and always found wanting,
Democratic party with power.

TIE Philadelphia Times editOrially
ridicules the habit both political parties
have fallen into of trying to explain or
account for party defeats. 1t oracularly
says, " Lost battles in politics or war are
lost battles, that's all. Defeat is defeat
and that's an end On'tn
Notwithstanding, however, the TINES
drops into an attempted explanation of
the late defeats ifs party has sustained,
and incidentally gives the leaders the
benefit of the following eaustic criticism
of its manifold errors and follies:
There are now no important elections
until the early autumn In any event
the probabilities are that the Republican
ti6al wave will last throughout the year,
but whether it will be enfeebled OF
strengthened will depend entirely upon
the action Of the democratic Congress.
Thus far it has done nothing TO command
the confidence Of the nation. True, the
silveT-purchase law was repealed, and
the Presidents veto of the seigniOrage
bill was sustained by the House, but IL is
equally true that without Republican aid
neither of these benefieent measures
would have been accomplished by the
Democrats in Congress. They lack lead
ership, they lack craftsmanship; they
lack cohesion, and worse than all, they
lack patriotism. They should have had
a tariff bill passed long since, and could
have had it but for the fact that states
manship was subordinated to individual
OF local interests, and tariff reform, that
should be accepted as q measure Of the
highest moment, has been made the
plaything of every petty speculation and
monopoly that happens TO WELD pOllti-
cal power in any of the States. 1t is this
lack Of craftsmanship and of fidelity TO
proclaimed principle that has made the
nation distrust Democratic power, and 1t
is that distrust that hes made the people
condemn Democracy in 1891, million
tongued as it denounced Republicanism
in 1890.
If the Democratic organs and leaders
would have Democracy retrieve ITSELF
they must stop petty excuses and expla-
nations about Democratic defeats. While
business paralysis doubtless started the
popular tide against the Democracy, the
greatest obstacle 10 Democratic success
to-day is in the records the Democratic
party is writing in the exercise Of nation
al authority. If it would retrieve the
disasters which II has suffered it must do
il by the exhibition of craftsmanship in
Congress, and If if is unequal to the task
of rising above the petty interests Of
jobbers and monopolists and the shrieks
of the agrarian, II must expect continued
condemnation from the people, not only
in 1894 but in 1896 as well. The Demo
cratic future is wholly in the hands of
the present Congress, and unless this
Congress shall rescue itself from the miIe
into which it has fallen, the nation viii
accept the settled judgment that the
Democratic party should never again
be entrusted to rule the Republic.
