There Stands Pennsylwaly.
Indianapolis Journal Rep }

Indianapolis Journal Rep
Senator Qnay was asked if he expected
to roll up the usual Republican majority
in Pennsylvania this year, and he did.
To an inquiry if he thought the Demo
cratic party WAS in any better shape than
il was last year he replied: Il don't think
there is much of q Democratic party in
Pennsylvania" The answer was pic
turesque and somewhat figurative, yet
there was enough truth in it TO suggest a
line of thought.
The great State Of Pennsylvania has
been true to the principles ofthe Repnbli-
can party ever since its organization. The
last time its electoral vote was cast for q
Democrat for President was in 1850, for
James Buchanan. Its electoral vote was
cast in succession twice for Lincoln, twice
fnr Grant, once for Hayes. once for Gar
field once for Blaine and twice for Har-
rison. A. early rs lSJ7 seventeen of its
twenty-five members of Congress were
Republicans, and in the present Congress
its delegation stands twenty eight Re-
pubiicans to two Democrats. Some of its
Republican mljorities have been over
whelming, both in national and State
elections. Last year il gave Hastings,
Republican, for Governor, a majority of
2ii, ,IEs over its Democratic opponent, and
the Republicans had lSj majority in the
Legislature OH joint ballot.
This devotion to Republican principles
and candidates may have been due in
measure 70 several causes, but undoubted-
ly by far the most potent one is that the
Republican party has always favored
protection TO American industries. Penn
sylvania is a great manufacturing State,
and the question "f protection is one of
paramont interest 10 her people. Other
issues have their proper place in political
platforms and popular discussion. but
from Pennsylvania point of view pro-
lection TO homo industries overshsdows
them all. Her people have studied the
subjec; in the light of history and ex-
perience, from a theoretical and practical
point OF view, and after experiencing the
evils of free trade and the blessing of
protection, they are fully determined To
stand 10y the party that favors protection.
This accounts for the big Republican
Inajorities in Pennsylvania and for the
fact that there i not much of a Demo-
cratic party in tina: State. II the people
understood the question rightly and were
true 10 American interests. there would
not he much Of a Democratic party in any
State.

Wiped Out BY Flames.


NEW ORLEANS. Oct. "a fire broke
out in Algiers, opposite this city last
night, continued burning until o'clock
this morning, when it was got under
control because very little was left to
burn. Two hundred and twenty houses
were burned in all. The fire was con-
fined almost entirely to the residence
portion of the town, the owners of
which are people in moderate circum-
stances. 1t is estimated that the loss is
fully $4,000. The fire originated in an
Italians confectionery and fruit store,
and everything seems TO prove it was
incendiary. So intense was the feeling
against the suspected man that if he
could have been found early this morn
ing, he would have undoubt edly been
lynched. He was arrested to-day and
brought over To New Orleans for safe
keeping. A subscription for the relief
of the homeless people, who number
about zoo has been literally responded
to. The public school buildings have
been thrown open to them, and many
have found shelter there.

Wants Gold and Dog. Too.


NEW BRUNSWICK, y. J.. October b.
George Leach, a restaurant keeper had
ball dog which he has taught a number
of tricks. He has always valued the dog
very highly, but since yesterday he at
tacbed more value than ever to the canine.
Yesterday afternoon a customer threw
down $50 gold piece on the counter
The proprietor dipped it on the coun-
ter to try ii. On the rebound the piece
flashed into the air. The bull dog had
been taught to catch crackers when
thrown to him, and when the gold piece
came through the air in his direction he
opened his mouth, aud before the aston
ished customer could say Jack Robin
son" his gold piece had disappeared.
Leach is in qaandary. He called in
a veterinary surgeon and the dog was
given emetics, but to no avail. Leach is
wondering whether, if he has the dog cIt
open 20 get the gold piece, the local
5 ,c;ety for the prevention Of cruelty to
animals viii get after him. He says he
wants both the dog and the gold piece,
blt has not been able 10 determine how
il can be done.

il was deemed wise that as to offices non
partisan in character, or which at least
should be, the minority party ought To
have representation and this could only
be attained by limiting voting. Does the
expression of this thing necessarily ex-
clude other things not expressed? As
the same reason for the plan exists for
the like offices thereafter created, is il
not a necessary deduction that a plan
like that expressed should be followed?
Does not the whole spirit OF the constitu
ton plainly so imply while there is not Il
word indicating that such plan as TO other
or new courts is forbidden? In the cases
specified the constitution is mandatory I;
it says to the legislature in thus enumer
ating them, ''Thou shalt prescribe the
limited voting plan In the cases not
enumerated il is discretionary.
For the reason herein stated, as well
as for those assigned in the opinion Of
Judge Mcpherson, the decree of the court
below is reversed and the petition of the
attorney general for a nlandamus is dis
missed at the cost of the appellee"
THE DIss ESTING OPINION.
Briefly stated, the dissenting opinion of
Justice Williams, which is concurred in
by Chief Justice Sterrett, is that the leg
islature is powerless to deny any privi-
lege of voting at all elections, for elective
officers, if said voter desires to exercise
that power.
