The following editorial
appeared in the St. Louis
Globe Democrat after the
election Of 1892;
"The Republican party
was beaten because it had
taken a wrong position on
some of the leading questions
of national concern. It was
wrong on the Federal cleo
ton matter; 1t was emphati-
cally and fatally wrong on
the tariff. The passage of
the Mckinley law in 1890
was the greatest blunder
committed by any party since
the Democratic crime of Sc
cession. This thing called
McKinleylsm--this advance
of duties on articles which
have been on the dtltiable
list for the third of a century
to a century--has been con-
den1ned finally and eternally
by the people, If the Repub,
lican party is to win any
victories in the future, it
must drop McKinleyisn1 i'm
medlately ard permanently,
and send all the men who
cling to it to the rear
If McKinleyisu was wrong
in 1892, as the Globe Demo
crat said it w2s, and as we
believe, will somebody ex.
plain to us why it is right in
1S96--if it is right,

She was born at st. Louis in 1910, the daughter
of an English theatrical manager Of some note.
She became a student Of music, but did not
achieve the success she hoped for. She travelled
in Europe, and wrote letters which attracted
unusual attention, and from this time forward
made literature her profession. though often
branching out into other enterprises. She
tried the stage, both as Legitimate F." actress
and 10 lighter veins, but was disappointed at
the result She returned to literature, and her
bright letters and sketches were always in de-
mand. In 1882 she organized the "CO-opera-
tive Dress Association for Ladies'" which was
a costly failure for herself and many others.
She then began the study of Mormonism. and
her lectures were widely popular She also
wrote various booklets which bad considerable
success. She started at Washington a weekly
known as Kate Fields Washington, which was
bright. newsy and gossipy, but did not pay, and
was suspended after some years. and she went
to Hawaii as a correspondent for the Chicago

BRICK I" PoMERoY.

"Brick POmeroy is dead. He was born at
Elmira, N. T., in 1888, and died at Brooklyn
on Memorial Day. There was an irony Of fate
in taking him away on the day sacred to the
veterans whom he DETAINED and maligued at
the time they were sweating blood in their
efforts to the Nation. He learned the
printing business, and became a country pub

came recognized political force Brick"

selfish, or cowardly to enlist and be hated she

had a rough, coarse wit. and considerable power
of invective, which were suited to the iguobls

exactly, and his paper speedily gained a wide
circulation. Where other papers which vera

jeers, taunts, and villifcation for everything

He did not care much for the rebels

enough stable-boy wit to make his seolding

that he felt that he must have a wider field.
and removed to the congeniaI locality of New

into Greenb back organ, but he had not brains
nor range enough to discuss economic questions
even for Green hackers, and after trying TO re-
vive his paper by taking it to Chicago it died.
He wrote some books, which are now happily
forgotten. He went back to New York. and

abusive of Senator PETER for his reso-

GEN. snKRa1AN,s MEMOIRS.

One of the striking things mentioned
in this weeks instalment of Gen. Sher-
mans Memoirs, is the little opposition
there was among the actual settlers in
California to making it free State. The
hardy miners and farmers who were de-
veloping the country had no liking at
all for slave labor, and they readily
adopted the suggestion that slavery be
forever prohibited. This was intensely
to the disgust of the Slave Lords at
Washington, who were bent upon
making slavery National" and
examining the peculiar institution ="
down everybody's throat. Sherman
seems to have been very innocent
young officer when he came back to
Washington, and could not understand
how the magnates in .the city should
attach so much more importance to the
question of slavery than to the discovery
of gold. They managed to delay the
admission of California several months,
however, on account of the Objectionable
clause, and John G. Calhoun denounced
the California settlers in the most vicious
terms for wanting to have their soil I'M
polluted by the foot of slave.

Previous to the holding of the G. AR.
National Encampment at Louisville,
Col. Henry Watterson, late of the
c. S. A., had shown tendency to out
bursts of loyalty which seriously disturbed
many of the more irreconcilable of his
former associates, and the gathering of
Union veterans at his city seemed to
confirm his occasional impulses into a
steady mental habit. At dinner at
London, on Memorial Day, to the United
States Consuls in the Kingdom of Great
Britain, he made speech which walked
up things on both sides of the Atlantic
He denounced ambassador Bayard for
his toadyism, announced himself a
lingo, and said that he had learned
Jingoism from England, whose glory
and greatness were the results Of Jingo-
ism. He replied to the absurd talk of
O'Connor about Southerners being ready
to get their revenge should the United
States become involved in foreign war !;
"that among those who fought SO well and
valiantly during the late unpleasantness,
as we'll as among their descendants, there
was but one feeling-a feeling of thank
fulness that God had laid the weight of
his hand upon the Southern Confederacy
and preserved the life of the American
Union"
