Republican victories demonstrated the
fact that the tariff was not to be tinkered
by the next Congress as had been
threatened Then in the matter Of pen
sions, the administration with all the prose-
cutting machinery in its hands and having
no scruples about using It, as it did
use it, for the persecution OF pensioners,
succeeded only In discovering fraud in
thjrty-nine cases among the more than
nine hundred Thousand names ON the pen
sion roll But all this failed to check the
"insidious appeals to popular passions.
These ponderous prophets SO soon as
business began to revive along with Re-
publican certainty, began to assume that
the mongrel tariff they had condemned
was after all just what they had
promised to give the country, that it was
responsible for increasing prosperity.
Long before wages had been restored to
the level where the Democrats found them
they assumed all praise for the restoration.
When the "robber baron" commenced to
raise wages without waiting for the de-
mand of his employees these hypocritical
demagogues exclaimed "Lol behold the
beautiful results of free trade" Free
silver agitation has been for months
sweeping over this country as never be-
fore since the fiat money craze of green
backism and yet the administration
cuckoos have the hardihood to declare that
hard times came about In the first place
because of a currency scare and that good
tinkering. Last week s report of brisk
business activity will be seized upon by
these platitadinous ponderosities as further
evidence Of the beneficence of their free
trade theories. Their whole political
capital consists in the supposition that the
people of this country are bereft of men,
DRY and that insidious appeals to popular
passion" are all that Is necessary to the
success of Grover Cleveland ct al. Were
not this disregard for all fact so unscrupu-
lous it would be most ludicrous. The
| fools are not all dead but when the Demo-
cratic party again goes before the coun-
| try on its record it will conclude there
has been great mortality among the voters
with short memories and no common
sense.

The perspective of this work Is admir-

to commanding eminence In the affairs OF
his country; but to the first place in the
hearts of his countrymen. But back of
his successes was something more than
mere intellectual greatness. There was
masterful, magnetic personality. Mr..
Blaine was man of infinite tact. His
impulses were generous. He loved human
society. He had Subtle power to read
and understand human nature. He was
intensely sympathetic. There was in his
nature no affectation; no snobbery. He
was frank and open in his manner and a
conversatonalist of rare versatility and
mower, He drew men to him with mag
netic force and retained their loyal devo-
tion through after years. Few could resist
the charm of his personality. He never
failed to recognize his old friends and

To study the life of such man, as por-
trayed by so gifted pen as that of Miss
Dodge, will always be both pleasure
and profit We shall never lay this wol k

try, and profounder faith in its destiny.

Ponderous HYPOCRISY.

The ponderous Clevelandesque platitude
was again brought into play in the
response of Grover to the invitation
to participate in Tammany's Fourth of
July celebration. Whether Mr.. Cleve-
land thought little cXhorting of Tam
many to devotional patriotism at this
particular juncture would accord with
third term sentiments is an open ques
tlon. Any doubt upon this feature of it
cannot, however, cloud the delicious
though unintentional humor of the
epistle. "Our danger writes Cleveland,
"is found In the recklcssness of selflshness
and In insidious appeals to popular
passion and thoughtlessnoss. Now the
history of this nation will not show another
chief executive of IL who has stopped to
this sort of thing as has Grover Cleve-
land.
Before coming TO his high office the
first time he appealed to the people to
rescue the country from Republican cor
ruption. He was elected and he found no
corruption. He appealed to the people for
his second election on the ground that they
were being robbed by a tariff. He was
elected upon platform that declared for
tariff for revenue only. The capitalist
and manufacturer were held up as the
oppressors of labor. Glass preiudices were
excited. The campaign was noted for
"irsidious appeals to popular passion and
thoughtlessness' and no man, not even
the most rabid ward heeler, INDUCED In
this sort of thing to greater extent
than Grover Cleveland himself. In his
message no declared that there were thou
sands of fraudulent pensioners and the
"iron heel' of capital and the meek OF
labor were conjured to his assistance.
Now what were the results; 1.-THE rob-
Der baron threatened with unequal com.
petition with pauper labor ceased to an
tioipate future demands, business was
discouraged. The threat Congress dared
not fulfil and IT finally tinkered the tariff
without shred of principle on which
to make the changes. inequalities ant
rank injustices were introduced but il
still remained protective tariff wher
taken as a whole although it did no
provide sufficient revenue and If it hat
been framed in accordance with Cleve
land and Wilson'S mandates would hav
necessitated more bond issues than W
have had. This occasion Mr.. Clevelan,

South Carolina has long neglected to
provide schools for her colored population
and now the Tillmanites propose to make
the poor colored people bear the whole
cost Of their chidren's education. The
prejudice, rancor and injustice of this are
largely due to ignorance for which the
poor whites of the South are notorious.
The South has always neglected it's com
