of the greatest and most momentous
political contest this country has ever
seen or the world has ever known. The
Tribune congratulated its readers upon
the certainty of triumph not merely of
the fundamental Republican principles
of protection and sound money, but of
common honesty and of law. Its con-
clusion was: Today the intelligence
ard conscience of the nation will make
themselves felt. And tomorrow this peo-
pie will draw a long breath of relief
from the terrible suspense of three
months and say, with devout earnest
ness, Thank God"

The Los Angeles of today is nothing
like the Los Angeles of twenty years
ago. The tall and stately buildings on
the leading thoroughfares and the
handsome mansions in the residence
districts abundantly testify to the
changs that has taken place in the city,
but within the last few days the Los
Angeles folks have had a sensational
discovery which shows not alone that
the city has changed, but that the
change has gone beyond the widest
dreams of the boomers. The board of
health has found that butchers have
been selling horse meat for beef and
that the gay ard lively bronco, after
doing duty at ranches and at rodeos,
has been sliced into steaks and served
up on the family table. Imagine such
an imposition as this practiced on one

AHEAD OF NEW YORK.

According to the total vote in the
three leading cities of the country. Chi
cago is the present metropolis of the
United States. At the late election 345,-
1855 votes were polled in Chicago. 1882
in New York and 244. 1874 in Philadelphia.
The center which Chicago was at the
taking of the census of 1890 she still re-
mains. The same influences. undisturb-
ed by rivals or changes in the channels
of trade continue to operate for the in
crease of her population. New York, on
the other hand, has seen good deal of
her shipping diverted to Canada and
to the Atlantic ports of this country.

port, News. New Orleans are all cutting
into the trade which New York formerly
bsorbed.-Philadelphi Enquirer.

TEST OF REPUBLICAN HONESTY

1t is to be borne in mind that what the
country needs is not protection for
favored industries, but revenues to meet
the largely increased expenses saddled
upon the country by the Republican con-
gress. Under the present tariff manu-
facture and trade have started up and
are going ahead at brisk pace. They
have not waited for "protection:" all
they wanted was the confidence given by
a sound money basis, and this they have
got But the country is running behind
every day in its income as compared
with it's expenses, and this has got to be
stopped. Now, if the Republican lead
ers are honest in their declaration that
the purpose of legislation should be the
provision of revenue, let them go ahead
and provide it.-Boston Post.

Of the wealth-producing agencies by the
industrial trusts. His one idea is that
the higher the price the masses pay for
their goods and wares the better it is
for the country, because it permits the
industries to accumulate vast wealth
which otherwise would go abroad. His
one idea Is that while labor should be
sufficiently remunerated as to make ex-
istence comfortable, the strength. glory
and durability of the body polite lies
in the maintenance of a system of gov
ernment that creates an Independent
and dependent class-it being the duty
of the independent to provide employ
ment for the dependent. That is why
he said it is better to open the mills to
the employment of labor than the mints
to the coinage of silver. Opening the
mints would distribute the accumulat-
ing wealth of the country by long dl-
vision, the very thing that his one idea
could not tolerate.
