Harper's Weekly sees in the result
OF the recent election triumphant
vindication of President Cleveland,
whose administration was virtually
assaulted by the convention that placed
Bryan in nomination. In this year, as
in 1884. it holds, Mr.. Cleveland has
reason to be proud of ''the enemies he
has made. y He was denounced by the
friends OF free silver and riot "for
maintaining public order, which they
wished to overthrow. The friends of
free silver denounced him for main
tanning the national credit, which
they wished to impair, and for up
holding the national honor, which
they wished to defile. They sub
mitted the issue between him and
themselves to the people of the United
States, and the people of the United
States have chosen between Cleveland
on the one hand and Bryan and Altgeld
and Tillman on the other. Bryan be-
came the candidate of the enemies of
order and the assailants Of the public
faith by means of the iaunty speech in
which he said that upon the issue of
the platform the enemies of the
national honor, the opponents of the
President for preserving the national
honor, expected to carry every State
IN the Union. He is wiser now. He
and his confederates are now for the
first time aware how far above their
powers was the task they undertook in
attempting to make the whole Ameri-
can people accomplices in the national
degradation.

mittee of the Young Mems Christian

increased 3s2 to 1,44s: the total mem
bership, 100, 495 to 263. 29s; the build

The political situation in Kansas is
thus graphically described by tho En-
poria Gazette:
Tho people have turned from love
OF what the world calls best to hatred
of it. They who once sought capital,
who courted "syndicates, who met
the representative of corporations look
ing for investments at tho depot with
band, are now carrying banners on
which are inscribed down with the
money power, " abolish interest and
you will abolish poverty, Hang Shy
lock, " Gold bugs are worse than
chinch- bugs" and other equally stir
ring legends. There has been revolu-
ton OF opinion in Kansas. We have
decided against the ''old ortler." We
have seeded from the commercial
union which binds civilization to-
gether. We are out here on these
fertile prairies, where, by training with
the best thought of our nation and
race, We might be wealthy and pros
porous. We are losing wealth. We
are losing population. We are losing
standing. We are fighting capital and
the fates are against us.
And yet, Kansas deliberately votes
to endorse Populism and return PETER
to the Senate. What better can be ex-
pected Of people SO blind.

1t was shown by the New York clear
ing house statement three weeks ago
that twenty banks held lsss than the
legal reserve. Saturdays statement
showed but six. The election has
released millions of boarded money,
and the banks feel instant relief.
There was an increase of ss,G93, 525 in
the surplus reserve last week. The
banks gained So, 266, 800 specie, mostly
gold. They gained 81, 4O7, 200 legal

The ong-whskered Peffcr is likely
to succeed himself as Senator from
Kansas, the Populists having carried
the Legislature of that State, and thus
John j. Ingalls, is disappointed in his
ambition to resume his old place in
the Senate. PETER is bad enough, but
is he not superior TO the man who
once stood up in the Senate and de-
clared:
The publication of politics is an
iridescant dream. Government is force.
Politics is a battle for supremacy.
Parties are the armies. The decalogue
and the golden rule have no place in a
political campaign. This modern cant
about the corruption of politics is
tatiguing in the extreme.
What hope for purer politics and the
higher ideals of government could there
be with men like the author of these
sentiments sitting in the Congress of
the United States.

shouid Send MIR. Bayara to the ssnate.
That there will be no lack OF aspir-
ants for the vacancy in the United
States Senate from Delaware, when
our next Legislature assemblies at
Dover, is an assured fact The Office
will not go a-begsing.
But. without reference to the char
acter or qualifications Of those who may
seek the honorable position at the
hands Of the Democratic members Of
the General Assembly, there ia one
man who should be selected, whose
name would add honor to the State
and reflect lasting credit upon every
legislator who would vote to send him
to the Senate. And that man is Hon.
Thomas f. Bayard, Ambassador of the
United States to Great Britain.
We are not informed as to Mr.
Bayard's desires after he leaves his
high diplomatic post at London, but
we do not believe he would decline an
election to the Senate should it be
rendered him. His election would he
an honor to the State. and would be in
line with tho uniform record of the
Democratic party Of Delaware for send
ing men TO the Senate who lowered
head and shoulders above the repre-
sentatives of other and larger common
wealths. It would be the choice of one
of the grandest men of this generation
of leader among leaders7as one of
Delaware's representatives in the Senate
of the United States.
The Democratic members of the Leg
islature will find no better or more
honorable means of determining the
Senatorial battle that will be fought at
Dover, next winter, than by uniting
their votes upon Mr.. Bayard.

1t Is the Center of Attraction Wher-
ever 1t Appears.


Mueller's motorcycle was the object OF hun
dreds of pairs of eyes yesterday and last
night. During the afternoon ii was seen on
the streets. usually filled with ladies who
are here with their husbands attending the
Water Works Association convention.
Wherever It went it was the one and sole
object of interest. 1t moved so smoothly
and with such apparent ease and safety
that ii always drew a crowd. not only o.
the young people, but OF the staid old men
and women
1t was not until night that 1t became an
object Of mixed admiration and dread. With
three ladies and the man who controlled IL
occupying the seats. il made a number OF
trips around Monument place at a speed OF
about twelve miles an hour. It soon gath
cred in it's wake a long tail of bicyclists,
who followed IL, drawn thither much as the
tail of a comet is drawn after the main por-
tion-by an unknown but irresistible magic.
they simply could not keep away. When the
carriage would come in sight from behind
the monument ii presented an uncanny APP
pearance with it's two strong lights gleam-
ing like the eyes of his Satanic Majesty,
as often pictured. Contrary TO expectations,
horses paid no attention TO the vehicle.

float from the flag staff on the city
hall. Following his eloquent remarks,
a motion was passed authorizing the

chase such flags.
Fifteen applications for liquor
licenses were presented and the date
of hearing was set for June 9th.
H. p. Christensen appeared and
