The Record, OF MilkesDarre Pa. re-
ferring 10 the fact that various promi
ncnt and influential newspapers ot the
south are urging southern senators ana
REPRESENTATIVES 10 make no faCtious
opposition to any reasonable legislation

line with it's campaign pledges. with
reference TO protection and the currency
question. remarks. Indeed. some OF
these influential southern Journals are
even advising their senators and repre-
sentatiyes to support a policy Of protcc-
ton"
Our WilkesbaIre contemporary makes
too sweeping an Inference. 1t leaps far
beyond the facts. These influential
southern journals are not urging their
senators and representatives TO support
a policy of protection. They are simply
declaring that the democrats viii not
and should not factiously st.nd in the
way Of any legislation by which the
republicans propose to redeem their
pledges.
The two parties went before the pcO-
pie on widely different propositions. The
republicans. admitting the hard times
and the business depression, declared
that protection would restore prosper
ity. They said that they would main
tain the gold standard until they could
get rid Of it by means OF an irterna-
tional agreement They I'D not indOrse
the gold standard, but distinctly de-
clared that it should he rcmedied by
means of bimetaiism as the result Of
an international conference.
The democrats opposed protection,
and. while they did not object to inter
national i.metallism. maintained that
the best way to bring it about was for
this government 10 take independent ac-
ton.
In fine, both parties had their plans
for restoring prosperity and both plans
were definitely set forth. 4 majority
Of the people were prevailed on in vari-
GUS ways to indorse the republican plan
of restoring prosperity. They elected
the republican candidate and fortified
him with n republican majority in con
gross. In the senate the party ma
iority will he so narrow and doubtful
that the democrats and silver senators
could probably, by means If fictitious
opposition. prevent the republicans from
carrying out their remedial legislation.
1t is to prevent this factious opposi-
ton that The Constitution and other
leading democratic newspapers have
urged the democrats and silver men in
The senate to forego all active and def
mite opposition to such plans for restor-
Ing prosperity as the republicans may
propose. We have urged this attitude
with no intention OF aiding the repu5-
licans. but with the intention Of pre-
venting prominent democrats from lay
ins themselves and their party open to

sonator-Elect Money on Cuba.

United States SeDator-Elect H. d.
Money. of Mississippi, who has just re-
turned home after a two weeks soiourn
in Cuba, gives a detailed account on his
visit to the island in last Mondays is
sue OF The New York Journal.
After surveying the field with his
own eyes, the senator-elect returns to
this country with his faith in the ulti
mate success OF the Cuban uprising more
securely fixed than ever. From what he
saw and heard during his stay on the
island he is satisfied that Spain is utter
~ powerless 20 cxtinsuish the present
revolution.
IN this opinion the seuat0r-elcct states
that General Fitzhugh Lee the Ameri-
can consul 1T Havana, cordially agrees
with him. Indeed. lie further states
that General Lee. at the time OF his In
teryiew with that officer, was so
thoroughly convinced of The futility Of
Spanish efforts to subdue the island
that he wished his views on the subject
to be communicated to the authorities
at Washington. This feature of the in
terview. however, is denied by General
Lee. for diplomatic reasons no doubt.
In touching upon his interview with
General Weyler the senator-elect de-
scribcs the Spanish butcher as man
of small statue. but with the dignifed
bearing Of soldier. In reply to 4 ques
ton IS to the Roadway which he had
made in suppressing the rebellion. Gen
eral Wevlcr Informed his visitor that he
had driven out the last insurgent from
the neighborhood Of Havana and that
he anticipated but little difficulty in the
future.
On subsequently investigating the
truth Of this statement, Mr.. Money
found that General Weyler had deliber-
atoly misinformed him or else had dis
played Gross ignorance of the facts. In
tLe close neighborhood OF Havana he
ascertained that several bodies of in
sllrcents were located, each numbering
fIom 500 to 400 men, and armed with
improved weapons. Instead Of betray-
ing tie least Idea Of abandoning the
struggle for independence. the senator
eloct states chat The patriotism OF the
C,:bans is steadily increasing and that
victory viii inevitably perch upon their
standards.
This information in regard TO the
status Of affairs on the island, coming
rrom such a distinguished individual as
Standardized Money. is a valuable con-
tribution to the literature Of the Gu
Ran uprising. and is sure to have lis
weight rot only with our national law
makers. but with the public at large. In
going to Cuba Standardized Money was
actuated by no other purpose than to
ascertain the exact truth of the situa-
ten. Although his sympathies were

the charge Of obstructing the plans of
the rerablicans and III this way pre-
venting a return of prosperity.
This attitude which we have urged
democrats to take applies. OF course.
only to the republican plans which the
people have passed upon and indOrsed.
The fact that the people have placed
the republican party in power on the
strength Of the pledges publicly made
by them is no reason why democrats
should ground arms and cease TO oppose
any scheme the republicans may hatch
as an afterthought. The republicans
went before the people with two definite
plans. One was to restore prosperity
by means of a high tariff; the ether
was 10 maintain the gold standard until
international bimetallism can be substi-
tuted. These plans a majority of the
people indorsed. and the democrats can
not afford TO stand in the way Of them.
But we call the attention OF our
Wilkesbarre contemporary to the fact
that there is vast difference between
non-oDposition to the republican plans
and giving them active support The
latter the democrats viii not and can
not do. The popular Endorsement Of the
republican plans is far from making
these plans right as propositions, or sue
cessful as remedies. The democrats do
not indorse the gold standard now any
more than they did before the election,
nor do they at ali believe that high
er tariff will give the people even the
shadow of prosperity but that is no
reason why they should stand in the
way Of the test the republicans propose
To make-or rather, the test the re-
DubIicans proposed to make. for now
that they have been given the oppor-
tunitv they seem anxious to eyade the
responsibility.
To sum the whole matter up. both
democrats and republicans declared that
they were fighting for the prosperity OF
the PEOPLE. The democrats had their
remedies. and The republicans theirs.
The PEOPLE were induced to accept the
remedies proposal by the republicans.
and the people now look TO that party
To restore prosperity.
Should the democrats obstruct the
plans that the people have Endorsed,
the republicans VIII go before the coun-
try two and four years from now and
claim that democratic opposition has
prevented them from restoring prosper
ity.
We say. therefore. let them have free
rein in redeeming their pledges. and if
they do not restore prosperity they can
rot appeal to the people with any hope
or assurance of success two and four
years from now.

any assertion that runs on all-fours
with their notions and their interests.
They are ready to accept. without ques-

with reputation such as William b.

There is one unfailing test by which
the weakness Of a cause may be gagged.

direction. for they are disgusting many
honest men who accepted their argu-
ments and pledges. and creating the sus-
piCion in the minds Of others that they
never expected to restore prosperity.
The truth is that since the election
the democrats-the silver men-have
been the conservative element. They
have not only ceased to agitate the sill
yer question but have deplorcd the agi-
tation Of that question by &c gold men.
And they have urged and continue to
urge the gold party to rise TO the occa-
sion, face the emergency like men and
patriots. and provide some remedy for
the constantly growing business and
financial troubles of the country. The
thanks the silver men have received
from the gold party may be found en-
