GOOD FOR IOWA.

Bravo! gallant Democrats of Iowa.
Their defeat by so narrow margin
against such heavy odds is really a
victory to be proud of. McKinley's plu-,
rality of $4,000 last year is reduced to
below Is GOO this year, despite the howl
of dollar wheat" and the claim of the
Republicans that they did it. AS the
Chicago Chronicle says, 1T was fight
against all the resources that political
corruption and corporate wealth could
bring into the field. 1t was struggle
in which the Democrats had to con-
tend not only with the avowed Repub-
licans. but with two auxiliary organiza-
lions whose sole purpose was to divert
votes from the Democratic ticket.
Against this dishonest political drei-
bund-against money, bulldozing and
railroad influence-the Democrats OF
Iowa presented front so stubborn that
the result was doubtful up to the very
last moment. No more gallant fight
politics. There is nothing discouraging
in. the temporary defeat of last Tues
day. The Republicans themselves will
admit that their victory is a forerun-
ner of disaster A falling off this year
of $4,000 plurality can indicate nothing
but Democratic landslide in the Con-
gressional elections Of 1898 an COM
plete reversal of the Mckinley verdict
in 1900. The Republican party Is now
in a minority of the total vote. 1t can
not hope to repeat the tactics of this
year by which the national Demo-
Gratis" and the middle-of-the-road Popu-
lists were used to the disadvantage of
the Democracy. Next year the fight
will be along strict party lines. The
Democratic party, alreay in practical
harmony will then be fully reunited and
with the prestige of this years CAM
paign will wage winning fight"

FOOT BALL TEAM ASSAULTED.

Cleveland, O., November 1.-THE
Cleveland foot ball players, on their
return from Oberlin last evening, told
of an exciting experience in that col
lege town. AS they were about to
take the train for home, the Cleveland
players were attacked by a crowd OF
town loafers, armed with bricks,
stones and other missils. Four of the
Clevelanders were badly hurt and sew
eral Others slightly injured. Duncan
Wolcott was hit in the temple with <
brick. A bad wound was the resUt,
an artery being severed. Edward jail
was rendered unconscious by a slow
on the head, and Arthur Ludlor and
Joseph Harris received bad scalp
wounds. The bombardment> began
just before the players ree.hed the
station and was kept up ANIL the
train pulled out. Some of lhe players
were hit while they were standing on
the car platforms. The Oberiin stu
dents are not held responsible for the
outrage. for the Cleveland boys say
the students had nothing to do with it,

BLOOD ON THE BUCKEYE MOON.

Hanna's chances for getting back into
the Senate grow more and more du-
bious 1t is now said that the For
akerites in the Legislature are willing
to do anything, even to combining with
the Democrats, to defeat Hanna, as it
is evident that the coming struggle in
that body for supremacy will mean the
political death of either Hanna or For
aker.
The Democrats can afford to look on
this fight with perfect serenity. 1t
would undoubtedly be best, politically
speaking, for the Democrats of Ohio
should the brutal and arrogant boss be
elevated over Foraker, for in that case
the next time the people got a swipe
at the 6. o. p. they would make clean
sweep of it. And, on the, other hand, if
Hanna should be defeated by Foraker
all the black, bitter blood in the swollen
veins of the angry thick-necked boss
would rise in a boiling tide against his
enemy. Then lock out for more war in
the Republican Buckeye camp.

THE REAL GRAND OLD PARTY.

The Independent Washington Post
pays the indo.nitable Democracy this
compliment: This has been a Demo-
cratic year. The elections of 1897 lave
shown that the Democracy rebounds
from the downfall of 1896 stronger and
more confident and c0molriJe than
ever 1t is the Antaaus of our day.
The question is whether the Republican
party will prove to be lis Herculos
For the present the Democracy exhibits
every quality of heroism. 1t has cour-
age, it has the genius of recovery and
reconstruction, it knows not the mean
ing Of dismay. Defeat leaves it with
out fear Danger finds it without cow
ardice. 1t is a miracle of vitality, of
valor, and of hope"
Yes, the grand old party of the plain
American people is not dead nor dying
by long. long ways. 1t has outlived
many mushroom organization. It has
seen parties start up, bloom, blossom,
bear their fruit and wither and die;
but the party of the people lives on, ever
young. 1t will never die so long as
popular government lives among men.

diplomacy cannot b1k ylox oitn sSS0
miIsiving this maritime strength ni1g
OF the great Slayonic nation whose DONE
nance In Europe was predicted BY Ma
poleon Bonaparte and feared even be-
fore his time. For the past hundred
years Russian diplomacy has had for its
chief object the gaining OF direct
out let to the sea. The possession of
Constantinople has been a dream of
subtlest fascination to the Russian
mind. A route to the sea by way of
Afkhanistan and India was another
cherished project. Now, with her OBJ
iect attained on the shores of China,
Russia can afford, at least temporarily,
to suppress her yearning for the con-
troll of the Dardanelles and to pursue
more leisurely and with greater crafti-
ness her plottings against Great Britain
on the Indian frontier.
1t may be just as well to readjust
ones estimate of the European situation
and to give to Nicholas H., and not
Wilhelm of Germany, the title of the
War Lord Wiser, more patient, more
secretive than the Kaiser, the Car is
steadily and greatly strengthening the
power of Russia, without offering ex-
cuse for hostile combinations on the
part of envious powers to prevent the
carrying out of his momentous pro-
jects. There is every reason to be-
lieve that the next European crisis, and
more particularly the next European
war. will find Russia the arbiter of the
fate of Europe, prepared to enforce her
DEGREES either on land or sea.

WILL BE KEPT BUSY.

San Francisco, November Joe
Choynski. the popular California
heavyweight, has arrived in San Fran
cisco. He announces that he is in per-
feet condition and ready to fight JEFF
fries at any time. The meeting will
probably occur on the 18th of Novem-
Der. He was asked about the prospect
of a meeting between Jackson and
himself.
4 am ready to meet Jackson" he
said, las soon as my present engage
ment is over. | never shirked any
one and stand ready to meet any man

While Choynski is here to meet JEFF
fries, it is the opinion of sportsmen
that he is eager for another match
with Goddard. At all events, it ii
likely that Choynski will have as
many engagements on his hands before
he leaves San Francisco as he can take
care of.

Another by-election, in which the
Liberals have gained a seat, shows the
growing unpopularity of the Salisbury
government. The result OF the polling
in the Middleton division of Lam
cashire gives Tory loss of 1900 votes
in total of II 600, which in this coun-
try would be taken as an indication
that the party in power was in dis

COMING cosesrssbSAL SESSION

"a
The Congress Wild assemblies next
month will be harrafsed by more per-
picking difficulties I han has bothered
any Congress of Gent years. This is
due mainly to twS causes. The first is
that the party ri power finds itself in,
complete contno1 of the House, with
majority l9<ge enough to initiate any
legislation/ that pleases it, and with a
Senate thh at cannot be relied upon with
confidence to ratify the action Of the
co-ordinafe body. The second is that
the tyrahny of Reg Iieanism exempt
fed II Speaker s unprecedented
Unparalleled the membership
sD(ayilt. Had the Speaker named his
committees, as he should have done, in
time for them to familiarize themselves
with their duties before adjournment
of the last session, they could have en-
tered upon their labors this winter with
a knowledge of the finer details of legis-
lation essential to the carrying out Of
fixed policies and Invaluable to the
equipment of intelligent and patriotic
lawmakers.
But there will be so little seasoned
experience in the House this winter
among the Republicans that blunders
and failures innumerable are certain to
follow the efforts of the majority to do
somtthing to bolster up its discredited

thing to secure reelection, many mem

despotism and organize a revolt should
he pursue his characteristic tactics of
tyranny and oppression. The admins
tration. having dispensed its choicest
patronage, cannot rely upon the spoils
as effective weapons with which to whip
the refractory elements into line. The
reputation of the Re-
publican party at the polls leaves the
administration weakened, disheartened
and with fewer friends and more ag-
gresSiye enemies than ever. The sue
cessor of German and Smith will not
be elected in time to benefit the admin
istration in the Senate.
Viewed from every aspect, it is obvi-
Gus that the Republicans will be on the
defensive from the opening t0 the close
of the forthcoming session of Congress.
They will have so many shortcomings

administration to explain that on no
