D~UNRAVEN: NOT YET,

st. Louis Republic: We can sympathize
somewhat with Dunraven since the election
has taught us what an aggravating thing It
1t to have something in the way.
New York Tribune: Hereafter in every
competition OF slanderers in which he is
entered the record will be sure to stand-Lord
Dunraven first and the rest nowhere.
Philadelphia Record: Unless British
yachtsmen shall speedily repudiate this slur
upon their American brethren thew cannot
escape the odium Of having endorsed the
furttye blow dealt by their cantankerous
representative against the honesty and manll-
ness of American sport.
New York Sun: AS we all know we raced
with Lord Dunraven and he returned home.
and since his insolence has reached the
point to which it has developed in England.
we leave 1t to the Pail Mall Gazette and all
self-respecting Englishmen to see that he is
properly horse-whipped over there. as he
ought to be. They owe it to us.

IOWA POLITICAL GOSSIP.

Dubuque Telegraph: Mr.. Perkins, the re-
publican candidate for railroad commissioner
ran about 10000 votes ahead of General
Drake and about IS 900 ahead of the rest of
ne ticket. The header can draw his own
differences.
Davenport Republican: There seems to be
ample evidence on all sides that resubmis-
son will be sdefeated and a manufacturing
Dill passed. Thistis the only course open to
the republican party since the last verdict of
the people.
Sioux ~CityETimes: The new senator from
Dubuque thlaks taat the republican triumph
Il Iowa puts The democrats in a very happy
position, instmueh as the people cannot
blame the democrats of Iowa for any legisla-
lion. They never have blamed the democrats
fer legislation in Iowa and appear to have
firmly decided never to make the opportunity
for such blame.
Sioux City Journal: The democratic press
n Iowa IL beginning to betray its fear that
she state may not be torn up next year by an
election on the subject of a prohibitory CON
stitutlonal amendment. They also show much
anxiety lest a manufactures bill may BE-
passed by the republicans. They are taking
great pains to emphasize the difficulties In
me way OF defeating r~esubmission and manu-
%Iacture. They are carefully directing their
ingenuity to arouse any prejudice existing
'hSWhere IN the republican party on the
subject. And you can bet that they will
keep right along this line to the end.
Chic9go Record: In Iowa there is a great
deal or Interest over the possible action of
the legislature that meets this winter on the
subject or liquor legislation. At the last SEES
sion 1t was found necessary to pass a resrlb-
mission resolution in order to get the votes
or a few prohibition members for the mulct
law. This resolution must be passed upon
again by the coming legislature before 1t can
be submitted to the people. On a canvass of
the members-elect as to their position on the
resolution it was found that the legislature
stood: For resubmission, house, 81; senate,

from this canvass that a resubmission res

since the mulct law was passed the sale of
liquor is permitted in Iowa, while its manu-
iacture is not. An effort will be made this
winter to have the manufacture of liquor
The fight on the liquor question,
therefore, promises to be clearly drawn on
the issue of a return to prohibition on the
one side as against a further removal of the

Senator Harris Thinks Il the ONLY
Salvation of His Party.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-Senator Harris.
the chairman of the executive committee of
six appointed at the Washington conference
of last August to organize for the campaign
of 1896 the free silver democrats of the
country, has sant a letter to his colleagues,
the chief feature of which Is the following:
I'm the light of recent election results
there is, in my, opinion, no hope of demo-
cratic success in 1896 unless we can succeed
in so organizing the bimetallic democrats as
to secure in the national convention a plain,
distinct and unmistakable declaration in ia
vor Of the free and unlimited coinage of
both silver and gold, without regard to the
financial policies of any country, and, there
fore, it appears to me that we should re-
double our efforts to secure such organiza-
ton"

THE INDUSTRIAL EVOLUTION,

With the personal controversy be-
tween General Master Workman Sover-
eign and eX-Master Workman Powderly
the mass of American wage workers can
have very little concern. 1t Is only as
the spokesman of organized labor that
Mr.. Sovereign draws to himself the at
tentiOn of the toiling masses. In that
capacity he is in position to do them
great good or great mischief. If by any
word or act he can ameliOrate their con
dition, increase their opportunities for
employment or enable them to earn
higher wages he will prove himself a
benefactor. If, on the other hand, he
sows the seed Of discOrd and teaches
doctrines that are delusive and tend to
diminish their opportunities for material
progress, he will infict upon American
workmen who have made him their
leader incalculable injury.
In dealing with any question that af-
fects his welfare the American work
ingman is confronted by conditions and
not theories. To grapple with these con-
ditions, he must have a clear perception
OF the industrial evolution In which he
is playing "A part. Mr.. Sovereign, like
many other Missionaries, who mistake eff
feet for cause and cause for effect. has
such confused notions of economic forces
that he appears to be more a blind man
leading the blind than a man whose
clear vision points the way to safety.
IL there is any one thing in which the
American wage worker is Interested
more than in any other it is that every
dollar of the money he earns shall have
the full purchasing power of 100. cents
year in and year out. Every scheme
that would lessen the purchasing power
of his age or make the money stand
ard fuctuate must inevitably work
hardship upon men and women who
labor for their living. The American
dollar today will pay for more things,
whether luxuries or necessaries of life,
than 1t eve did before. The need of
~workingmen is not a cheaper dollar or
u larger volume of currency, but an en-
larged sphere of employment. Billions
of gold and silver coin boarded in bank
vaults would not improve the condition
of the wage worker.
The assertion that the evolution OF
machinery during the last few years is
responsible for the distress
among workingmen is untrue and mis-

THE SOUTHERN MARKETS..

An American merchant recently re-
turned from South America speaks en-
Enthusiastically of the possibility of in
with the countries of the southern CONT
nent. lie says that lying at our very
door are the vast markets of South
America. yet the bulk of the trade is
controlled by England. Germany and
France, the statistics showing an alb
Surdly small proportion Of American
merchandise imported. '"The American
manufactures has been asleep" says
this merchant. che has not realized his
opportunities, for today lie need only to
stretch out his hand in order to grasp
these rich markets. 1t is pointed out
that one of the great dra wbackS to the
development of trade between the
United States and the southern coun-
tries is the lack of steamship lines, and
it is urged that the best investment
which could be made for this country
would be to grant Il small subsidy to
mail steamers trading with South
America. The great nations of Europe
have for many years maintained sub
Sidized lines to South America and ii
has been found Il highly profitable in
vcstment. That we are at IA very great
disadvantage in this respect has long
been apparent and frequently stated
aud the trouble is that it is likely to
long continue. so general and strong is
the popular opposition to subsidies.
The policy of reciprocity was in
tended to secure for our producers and
manufacturers Il larger share of the
trade of these southern countries and
had it been maintained the American
merchant would not have found the
situation quite so bad as he reports it.
During the brief period in which that
policy prevailed there was Il consider
able Improvement in our exports to sew
eral of the South American countries
with which we had reciprocity agree
mepts and there was every reason to
expect further improvement, but since
the abandonment of reciprocity this
country has not only lost all that had
been gained, but more. and British,
German and French interests in South
America are more strongly i%ntrenche0
than before. The first thing to be done
and this will be not the least important
duty of the republican party when re-
stored to the control of the government
in order to get more of the South
american trade is to revive the reci-
procity policy and this having beer done
, way must be found to give legiti-
mate encouragement to the establish
ment of steamship lines to the principal
South American ports. There is no
greater or more important work of the
future than that of securing for Ameri.
IAN manufacturers and producers that
share of the trade of South America
which the United States ought to have.

Boston is raising it's voice publicly
against negro lynching. particularly in
the southern states. The sentiment will
be endorsed by people throughout the
United States, but making speeches and
adopting resolutions are sound rather
than substance. Educating the negro to
"A state where he will no longer commit
the heinous offense which call mob
vengeance down upon him and strength
eniag the judicial process so that the
people will have confidence in the eff
cacy of the courts would be more posi-
tive contributions TO the movement to

The United States consul to China
sends word clear across the Pacific that
the United States should trade more
with China and that such trade would be
highly advantageous to both countries.
As he is nearer to the Chinese just
now thar he is to Americans he might
enforce his advice by telling Chinese to
trade more with the United States.
More trade would unquestionably be of
benefit to all concerned and the stimula-
ton should be worked so far as possible
at both ends.

BY a candles Pickering rays,
And 1 made the wish | had often wished
For a glimpse Of the good old days.
One minute a city as light as day,
AND the next II was wrapped in gloom,
While, out from the walls came shadows
that filled
All that dismally lighted room.
The walls Of my chamber to logs had
or hemlock and pine and oak,
While reused from the sleep Of two cen
turtles gone
The soul of the past awoke.
A cavalier stepped with his hat and sword
FROM his frame on the rough hewn wall;
l listened and heard a dismal chant
OF a dismal madrigal.
A Puritan maiden Gathering came
With her clogs on the cobblestone street;
Meath the spreading beech near the black
smith shop
She paused, her lover to meet,
And my soul went up In a praiseful song,
That the times | had wished to see,
For which | had waited and prayed so long,
Had fallen at last on me.
l have spent an hour with the dear dead
past,
With the era Of boot and rack
I'll be glad when the light comes back.
