In any of these organizations he is
as much in his element as is flea on
a dog or tramp in idleness. He is
as natural q product there as is ice
tropics. The independence of the
Democrat, the insistence of the right
of individual judgment, the refusal
to surrender will and conviction at
command-the distinguishing traits
of a Democrat-are foreign to the
spirit which animates these different
various off-shoots of the parent stem
of paternalism. We hear occasion
ally of independent Republicans,
but they are only Democrats out OF
place; in process of transplantation
to the soil where they belong. 1t is
the path by which they travel to De-
mocracy.
So it is fitting that Tuesdays cleo
ton should have seated more firmly
on the throne Boss Platt, OF New
York, and Boss Quay, of Pennsyl-
vania, and Boss Clarkson, of Iowa,
and all the little, subordinate bosses
called henchmen. Because it is MT
and proper. we feel the same sense of
pleasure in it that our contemporary
affects to feel in seeing the Demo-
Gratis cut off the fungii from their
party. We admire the harmonious
working of natures processes al
Wavs. whether in political or other
fields. Following the crowning OF
these bosses in their state conVen-
tions, it was entirely proper that
they should meet in New York city
and dine and decide whom they
wanted for a presidential candidate.
IT is a serious matter which the
bosses only can determine. When
they shall have chosen, the fortunate
victim will be brought forward With
all that skill of ledgerdemaln In
which the boss is proficient. The
farce of calling a convention, the
contest of candidates, the tickling of
the people with the notion that they
are making a selection, will be played
to the end; and then the bosses will
pull the strings, and the denouement
will come, and the dear people will
have spoken. And the bosses will
swap winks when they meet, as the
ancient augurs are said to have done.
So, reciprocally, we tender to our
esteemed contemporary our congrat-
ulations on the permanency with
which the elections of Tuesday fas-
tened the crowns on the heads Of the
triumvirate of bosses before whom
loyal Republicans bend reverent knee
and address as my most reverend
and approved good masters"

CAUSED A SENSATION.
Mysterious Action of a Guest at
the International.

Pedestrians in the neighborhood of
the International hotel We're treated
to a sensation last night at 1890,
when medium-sized man having the
appearance Of railroad employe,
shoeless and without hat or coat,
emerged from the hotel and saun-
tered along Jackson street. He went
into house, and in short time a
woman came out and summoned Of
ficer Perro, who got the fellows
clothes and shoes out of the hotel
and went after him.
The fellow, who did not appear to
be drunk, but talked along in a
rambling way, which frightened the
timid. He was taken back to the
hotel, but could not say anything in
telligent about where he came from
or what he wanted to do. He was
escorted to his room, No. 36, and a
watch placed over him.
Landlord Morey intimated that
there were sensational circumstances
connected with his arrivel and put
/ ting up at the hotel. He came about
9 o'clock, accompanied by a second
man, who was described as of me-
dunn height, dark, with slight mus
tache, and wearing a gray overcoat.
who registered for his friend the
name of c. NJ. Boon, of Fur Falls,
Mont. Boon, if that is his name,
seemed to be dazed, said nothing; but
after his friend had gone. produced
enough cash to pay for his lodging.
Mr.. Morey says the man did not act
as if he were intoxicated, but seemed
as if his mind was cloudy about
where he had been or what had
happened to him. The hotel man
thinks his guest is a Great North
ern brakeman, and that the name
on the register is a fictitious one.
The man was not taken into GUS
tody, but will be taken care of this
morning if he is not all right.

BARRIERS HAVE TROUBLES.
Just Now They Relate to Sunday
Closing.

Some of the BARRIERS of the city are
considerably worked up over the prose-
cutions this week for violating the
Sunday closing law, and as a further
cause of agitation it is said that the
crusade will not terminate with the
convictions already secured, but will
be Waeed to a finish or until every
barber shop in town will be closed
tight on Sunday. This result Is ex-
pected to be accomplished this week.
so those who lind their time so oc-
cupied that they cannot respond to
the call of next before the end Of
the week, will, unless they pczsess the
necessary implements and skill, have
to wait until Monday
The closing movement has champions
and opponents in about every other
barber met with. Those who favor the
movement state that six days are a
great sufficiency wherein ordinary men,
and BARRIERS in particular, should labor
and do all their work and that when
the public has become accustomed to
having the shops closed. one day in
seven, there need be no apprehension
of losing trade. This is exactly the
sentiment of the opponents of the en-
forcement plan, but here the BARRIERS
cease to be a unit in their opinions,
and the proverbial rub makes it's
appearance. The proprietors Of the
smaller shops maintain that the law
is not rigidly and impartially enforced.
They claim its enforcement, as at
present applied, works them a serious
injustice. 1t is said that a large num-
ber of the more pretentious establish
ments, particularly those in connec-
ton with the hotels, while they, osten-
sively do no business on Sunday, have
separate rooms or apartments where
any one can obtain a shave regardless
of the day of the week The pro-
prietors of the alleged double shops
deny these allegations; but, neverthe-
less, they are said to exist. Whether
or not any permanent results will ac-
crue from the present crusade is a
matter of speculation among some Of
the BARRIERS, but those back of the
movement are determined to see the
law enforced, and are exerting every
effort to make the application of the
law general and complete.

men want women to vote? And third,
how generally Will a practical adop-
ton Of the principle of referendum
like this call out an expression of
public opinion.
All of these questions have been
satisfactorily answered. 1t is shown
that there is practical utility in the
referendum, because the voters gen.
orally took advantage OF the oppor-
tunity to voice their views on stlhe
subject. 1t was demonstrated ceh-
clusively that women are not asking
the right of suffrage, since only
about one in ten of those qualified to
vote took the trouble even to regis
ter their names. What proportion of
those registering voted for and
against the proposed extension OF the
ballot, the public does not yet know
But the registration statistics are
sufficient in themselves. 1t Is only
fair to assume that a woman who
will not register in an election where
she is requested to ask for the ball
lot if she wants it, is either opposed
to the idea altogether or does not
care enough about it to vote, If she
were allowed to. 1t has been proved
that the overwhelming sentiment of
the voters of Massachusetts, as a
whole, is against woman suffrage;
the vote against it being two or three
to one.
The result in Utah cannot be
considered to have any direct bear
ing on the suffrage question, pure
and simple. Woman suffrage, was
not voted on separately there, but
was one clause of constitution
which had to be adopted or rejected
as a whole. 1t was not to be expect
ed that the citizens of any commun-
ity ambitious of statehood would
vote down a proposed cons stitution
entire, and postpone their admission
as state for some years, on account
of a single provision like this, even
if it were repugnant ITO their views
There is no way of separating the
Utah vote so as to ascertain what
proportion of voters favored woman
suffrage, and what proportion sup
ported it under protest, because they
could not reject it without defeating
the adoption of the constitution.
The Massachusetts referendum,
however, presents the plain is
sue disconnected from all others.
All that is left of the woman
suffrage issue appears to be whether
or not men desire to force the ballot
upon women against their will. We
may be assured that that will never
be done. And we feel equally we'll as
sured that neither this generation nor
any other is likely to find a majority
of women demanding the ballot
which will not and ought not to be
given to them until they want it.

THREE BOSSES ENTHRoNED.

The rare occasions when we can
agree with our contemporary up the
river "at the head of navigation"
the Tribune, afford us pleasure. Our
regret is their infrequency. So, when
it notes as among the pleasing re-
suits of the election the retirement Of
three Democratic bosses, we assure
it that the pleasure is ours also. A
boss is as much out of place in De-
mocracy as a wolf in a sheepfold, a
bull in china shop, a weed in a
garden, a tramp at work, a rogue
in pulpit, or any other thing that
is not where it belongs. He cannot
exist where Democracy is pure, any
more than a fish can live in our at
mosphere. When he does exist in it
it is sure sign of degeneracy in
the party. 1t is time for fumigation
and disinfecting and house cleaning.
And, to the credit of Democracy be
it said, 1t is capable of cleaning it's
house and kicking the boss out Of
doors when it awakes to the presence
of the foreign intruder. Then Demo-
Gratis rejoice, and in the election re-
turns they are finding compensating
comfort in the event commented on
by our contemporary.
But while the Democrats have been
scourging their bosses out of the
sanctuary the Republicans have been
installing theirs yet more securely.
That is right and natural. Bossism
and paternalism and socialism and
Populism and Republicanism and
despotism are all of one family. To
accept the state as a father is to cul-
tivate docility, submissiveness,
obedience. The state becomes the
party and the boss is the bodily i'm
personation Of the state and party.

THE ILLINOIS TEST.

Among the crumbs of comfort that
Democrats can pick up out of Tues
days wreckage is the result in the
Eighteenth congressional district of
Illinois. Less than six months ago
"Buck" Hinrichsen, chairman of the
Democratic state committee, and
Gov. Altgeld discovered, or thought
they discovered, in the silver move
ment, the path of redemption of the
national party from the defeats of
'93. The story of his state conven-
ton in June and the fervor with
which it demanded the restoration of
free coinage is too recent to have
been wholly forgotten. Hinrichsen
assumed the role of Moses, and cut
for brief period quite
figure on the national stage. We
have now had a fair test of
the shrewdness of Hinrichsen and
Altgeld in discerning the drift of
opinion in the party. A vacancy oc-
Cured in the Eighteenth district
through the death of the incumbent,
necessitating the election of his sue
cessor. 1t is a Democratic district
with a majority, in normal condi-
tions, of over 5000. Last year it
went Republican in the landslide.
1t was the only contest in the state
this fall where the action of the June
convention would be passed on by
the voters
The issue was distinctly raised.
Lane, a former Democratic con-
gresham, a rampant silverite,
was pitted against Hadley, a Repub-
lican. The discussion ran on the sill
yer question. If free coinage was
held to be the imperious need of the
day by majority Of the voters of
the district, Lane would have been
elected. Party lines would have
broken down before the pressure of
this emergency issue. The district is
largely AN agricultural one. The
farmers feel the pinch of low prices
more keenly now than any other
class. Did they believe that free
coinage would relieve them, it would
have shown in the returns. Lane,
the silverite, instead of being tri-
umphantly elected, is buried under
majority about equal to that of the
Democratic normal. This but re-
peats the lesson in our Second dis
trict last year, where the sound mon
ey candidate had clear majority
over both his silver opponents, al
though. four years before, on a free
trade issue, his predecessor had a
majority of less than 400. Whatever
may be the merits Of free coinage,
it is clear that only small minority
believes in it.

Stole for the Blind.

Secretary Hutchins is anxious to

good living from his pennies. Mr..

just discovered that a young girl ac-
cused of stealing from her relatives
had given $1.99 to the blind man, a
proof, said Mr.. Hutchins, that the

TRUE AMERICANIsM.

In these days, when we find so
bast and fustian, labeled American
ism," it is refreshing to read an ad-
true American spirit like that which
Ambassador Bayard delivered yes
terday at Edinburgh. Mr.. Bayard's
words are full of a lofty patriotism
applied to a political philosophy that
is deep and true. No man could
have sketched more accurately or
more powerfully the movement of the
currents through which the world is
moving at the close of this century.
On the one side we see the old forms
of government drifting helplessly, at
tempting to stave off the new era of
popular liberty by the creation of
useless armaments out of the earn
ings of an unregarded people. On
the other side we see those people
themselves, sensible of their increas-
ing burdens, impatient and hopeless
error of a resort to state socialism
as a cure Each relies upon the pow
er and magical efficacy of the state;
and each must find that there is no
safety and no progress outside of the
freedom of the individual.
1t was a bold and magnificent act
for Mr.. Bayard, on this occasion, in
such an atmosphere, to set on high
the virtue of the American system.
There is more need for us than for
his hearers to ponder upon the truth
of his words. For here no less than
in the despotisms of an older world,
nay, more we may begin to think,
the paternalistic spirit is invading
the life of the people and threatening
the nation with the same insidious
influence that has wrecked govern
ment after government for centuries.
There is no national rise save as the
individuals that make the nation are
freer, more enlightened, more pros
porous and more happy. There is no
corruption more fatal, no downfall
more certain, than that which waits
upon the control of governmental
agencies by the few for their own
benefit. Nor did Mr.. Bayard state
the case too strongly in saying that
the class legislation which is euphon-
iously called protection in the
United States has done more to
create inequality of fortune, corrupt
public life, Danish men of independ-
emit mind and character from public
councils, blunt public conscience and
place politics upon the low level OF a
nnercenary scramble than any other
single cause"
This is the warning for ourselves
which we should lay to heart when
we point out the sure causes of decay
that exist in governments less Sc
curely founded than our own upon
the liberty Of the individual. In a
return to individualism lies the sal
walton not only of the nations, but
OF civilization and progress. From
the despotism of autocratic power
through the despotism of class legis.
lation, to the despotism of the social
istic state is natural progress. We
believe that the intelligence, the con
science, the moral sense of the Amer
lean people are too alert to permit thai
wretched cycle to be completed here
as it threatens to be where persona
liberty has been less priced. But fol
us as for the older nations there
should be but one first duty; to en-
courage ii return to single devotion t.
individual liberty; which is, as Mr.
Bayard styled it in his address, 9Th,
germ Of national progress and per
manence." This is true American
