Blazing the Road.
Pennsylvania has again spoken
against the Wilson bill with an empfa'
sis whose significance is unmistakable.
The state Ct Curtin and Thaddeus
Stevens. the State which furnished
more than q third Of o million men to
the armies Of the Union, the state
whose industries Rave been developed,
whose wealth has been created and
whose homes have been maintained BY
protection, once more demands that
the infamous Bourbon assault on
American industries shall cease, and
that the Amer lean market shall bo
preserved to American citizens.
Democratic attempts to belittle the
verdict rendered will be fruitless.
That Pennsylvania Is generally he-
publican Is true; but the Republican.
Ism Of her voters Is OF an Independents
type. which has often made the state
debatable ground. Twice within twelve
wears Pennsylvania has elected q
Democratic Governor. Her present
chief magistrate Is an orthodox Demo-
crat chosen by q plurality OF le,sb4.
These ia It's must be borne in mind in
measuring the force OF the majority BY
which her people rebuked free trade
last November and the majority by
which they elected Galusha A. Grow.
These malOrities r unequaled In
more than two decades. The sole issue
in the election of COngressman-at-
large was the tariff, James Eenton
Hancock, the Democratic nominee,
being an open and consistent free
trader, in fun sympathy with the most
obnoxious and destructive provisions
Of the Wilson bill. The Republican
standard bearer, who 9 splendid serv-
ices and unblemished patriotism are
the pride of his party and OF his
| commonwealth, is al stalwart In his
! advocacy OF protection to-day a. when,
In his early prime, he courageously,
| opposed the twin curses OF slavery ana
free trade on the floor Of the House OF
Representatives. BY common consent
the voters Of Pennsylvania were asked

| nation of that measure OF sectional re-
venge and industrial ruin is heard the

whole mighty North.
The election only means one more
Republican vote in Congress as . re-
suit, but 1. means very much more
than this as a lesson. 1t shows how
thoroughly triumphant Democracy has
startled and shocked the thinking peo-
pie of the United States. 1t illustrates
the trend Of public opinion. 1t blazes
the Republican road toward 1896.
When other States can be heard from
the same verdict will be found. Two
years of Democracy are shown to be
two years too much.
As to Utah..
The Democrats are not in 70 much OF
. hurry about granting statehood to
Utah as they we're. The Democratic
platform OF 1892 declared in favor Of
athe early admission Of all territories
Having necessary population and re-
sources" Utah Is the only territory
which has developed in population and
resources sufficiently to entitle it be-
ycnd question to admission to the
Union, and yet the Democrats are hold
!, ing back. They have no question
about population, RESOURCES, or polyga-
my, but they are in doubt Q to whether
Utah is going to he q Democratic
State. The House has passed q
bill admitting Utah, but the Senate
hangs up tho bill by Senator Cor
mans advice, for fear that Utah may
send two Republican Senators to Wa h
ington. Some recent events In Utah
have confirmed the Democratic fears.
The MormOns have always been pro-
tsctionists. They believe in home in
dnstry and they do no. believe In the
Wilson bill. Since that bin has been
under discussion Salt Lake City, which
has been regarded as safely Demo
cratic, has held a campaign in which
national issues were sharply discussed
and the Fepublicans carried the city
by over 1890 majority, electing their
candidate to the Territorial Legi Ia
ture. 1t is now believed that Utah Is
safely Republican on national issues,
lost all interest in the question OF
statehood for Utah.
