THE Bankers Magazine notes that the
late election Is not SO decisive when
judged by the msjority OF the electoral
votes as il is when mn analysis is made OF
the wealth and population ~ the States
which went for sound money. The as
sossed property valuation in the States
carried by the sound money candidate Is
$40, 40, t3s, ZOO, while those carried for
free silver have property assessed at
$500, 600, 600. In the States that went
for the Republican candi idate, the work.
ingmen employed mum bered 4,06e,4 4i3 and
the number employed in the BRYAN States
was 636, ,562. The annual wages paid in
the MCKINLEY States were sI,99l, 50l, ,043
and 1878, 200, $40 in tho BRYAN States.
In the MCKINLEY States the percentage
OF illiterate persons was 81 and in the
BRYAN States ti.S. Ii ADDS: "rhese
facts show that the successful candidate
was really elected by the bulk OF the pop-
ulation both capitalists and workingmeD,
by the wealth and intelligence OF the
country. The electoral college system is
not condemned, it is really viudicsted
by this showing. The electors which
compose it represent tho several States,
and not tho mere popular vote. They
have back of them the power and prestige
OF the States they represent. When once
elected they belong 10 no party. but to
the united people, power and influence
Of the States"

sfhs cfsicersof the Cupan Ls<gue Of the
United States have published an address
to the people OF the United States in ac-
cordance with resolution adopted at
the meeting organizing the league in
New York city.
The officers OF the Lsague are as follows:
ETHAN ALLEN, president; PAUL DANA,
JouN JACOB AsroR, General DANIEL But
TERRIFIED, ERWIN wARDMAN, FRANK b.
CARPENTER, FREDERICK ID. GRANT,
JOHN ID. KELLEY, JoHy c. MCGUIRE,
R.C.ALExANpER, CONSTANT A.ANDREws,
WALTER =. LOGAN, THOMAS Il.
STEWART, executive committees; FRAN
CTS Maryland GLEN, secretary.
The manifesto sets forth briefly the story
OF the struggle for Cuban independence
and Spanish bsrbarity OF the last 20 years
and denounces the declaration Of the
Presidents message that the American
people "view with wonder and admira-
tion the cheerful resolution with which
vast bodies of men are sent by spain
across thousands of miles OF ocean that
the costly gem OF the Antilles may
still hold its place in the Spanish
crown,'' protesting on the contrary that
the American people view with horror
this energy Of demons, whose purpose is
TO continue the robbery and slaughter OF
unofiending subjects, and declaring that
the Presidents voluntary eulogy OF
Spain, "wbose revolving perfidy is on
every page OF her history for the past
four hundred years, could have been said
with equal truth Of England century
ago, when GEORGE III. marshaled his
Hessians upon our soil and tapped at
every wigwam for it's tomanawk to secure
the reduction OF the colonies"
The League urges American citizens to
give and give quickly all practicable as
sistancc to the cause of Cuba. The Lsague
is organized to give practical consolida-
tion TO what IL believed to be prevail
ing public sympathy in behalf Of the
Gu ban patriots and the moral support OF
the same in securing to Cuba, by all legal
means, tho inalienable right Of self-gov-
ernment. 1t Is proposed 10 so arouse pc bile
sympathy by mass meetings and through
the press, that recognition as an indepen-
dent State shall be secured to the
patriots. The League will hold grand
mass meeting in Cooper Union in the
city of New York on Monday next.

A NoN-PARTIsAN COMMISSION.

One of the extraordinary groupings out
from the con fused cond itions Of the mug
wumpery. after term OF tariff reform in
practice, is the proposition for ''non
partisan" tariff commission which shall
be charged with the duty OF framing a
tariff measure that shall presumably ex-
actly suit.
The idea OF taking the tariff out Of pol
itics is probably as impracticable as
most anything that has been developed
by the vanaries of mugwumpery. The
tariff question Is politics. 1t became pol
itics when the Republican party declared
for protective tarifi and the Democratic
p'rty, which has not originated an issue
in 35 years with the exception OF the sill
YER plank OF the recent campaign, stood In
opposition-any kind of opposition, linn
tied protection, tariff reform, free trade,
anything but the Rpublican position. A
non partisan commission would simply
result in a minority ald a majority tariff
report and which would prevail would
depend upon the tariff sentiment in
Congress. Meanwhile such commission
would have nothing at its command In
lhe way OF information that 10 not
available to the ways and means COM
mittee Of the House of Representatives
and the proposition can carry no guar
antee that the members OF such a commits
sion would in anyway be better equipped
for the consideration of the subject than
have been the congressman who have
given years 10 its study in all -phases
of practice and theory.
There is no present danger that such
a commission will be brought into exist
ence though mugwumpery would
gladly adopt any hocus pocus for the
further testing of It's vain ideas already y
so thoroughly discredited ana repudiated
| by the people. The tariff ia one thing
that is very much in politics and the
great majority OF the people are jus,
now strong for the kind OF politics and
tn, kind OF tariff that the Republican
party stands for.

The 1895 crop OF corn is estimated at
2,26s. ooo, 600 bushels. but while this is
the largest crop ever grown, the quality
of gooa part of 1t appears to be very
poor and the amount OF morchantable
corn is believed to be less than last year.
There are said to be more than 400, oo0, 600
bushels of the crop OF 1895 still on hand,
and the new crop with that will prob
ably furnish surplus of about 700, ,0oo, 900
bushels more than we shall need for use at

ABSOLUTELY PURE

After listening to a free silver
speech like that delivered in this city
last evening by F. NJ. Goodykoontz,
young Republicans are prone to
wonder why men like Mr.. G.. re-
manned in the Republican party for
twenty years after the commission of
the acrime of '93" without discover
ing that there was anything particu-
larly wrong with the party or any
evil in the "crime", even spending
the intervening years in inducing
young men and others to become
converts to Republicanism. Ii Mr..
Goodykoontz is right in saying that
the demonstration of silver in
1878 is responsible for all the penury,
pain, privation, drouth, deluge, des-
titution, damnation, and death that
has occurred since that time, he has
a grievous sin to answer for in having
assisted during all these years in
strengthening the party that brought
demonstration about. The fact
is, as the News said several days
ago, Mr.. Goodykoontz is in the en-
pIoy of the free silver syndicate,
working for wages, talking for hire.
1t will be granted that he believes
in the doctrine of free silver, but
even in that event it seems scarcely
necessary for him to s%tultify his own
record as a Republican for twenty
years in order to advance arguments
in favor of free s~ilver.-Aberdeen

Prison Reform.
News.

The best prison results are only to
be had by keeping them free from
party considerations and party pat
ronage. A prison official is never
done learning. The greater his OBJ
servation and experience, the more
its prisoners. Struggles for political
power through control of party pat
ronage and spoils can have no just
place in prison polity, where the
temporal and eternal welfare of thou
sands is concerned, and where train
ing and experience are the qualities
most required. In such a great
semi-charitable public interest, where
questions Of individual temperament
and character hold first place, the
introduction of selfish considerations
would be even more baleful than in
a school or a church, because con-
victs are subjected to them while
under forcible restraint, and because
they are more concealed from public
scrutiny and less accessible for pop
ular correction. Any plan of prison
management whatever must prove a
moral and pecuniary failure, unless
all personal and selfish considerations
can be absolutely and permanently
excluded by effective law.-I. j.
