Republicans who confidently pre-
dicted the dissolution of the Demo
cratic party az the result of last
November's defeat did not know
what they were talking about. At
this writing it is impossible to
state the exact pluralities given in
the Western municipal elections
recently. It is certain, however,
that the Democrats have carried
Detroit, Cincinnati, Columbus and
Canton, and that they have made
marked gains in Cleveland. In
President McKinley's own State
the results have greater signi.
fcauce. It is evident that q re-
markable revival Of Democratic
strength has taken place in Ohio.
The party there shows far more
confidence and aggressiveness to.
day than it did year ago. The
same thing is true of New York
State. - Neso York Commercial

Protection and Democracy.

Sugar is most advantageously
situated to secure the benefitsyOf
tariff legislation. The Governq 9nt
must have revenue, and feat
deal of it. Why, then, do the grasp.
ing and vOracious friends of that
industry seek to force it into CO.
partnership with the commodities
that seek to live on protection or
rather, We should say, on public
robbery, and thus provoke a revolt
of its own friends against its Just
claims I Indeed, the protective
principle is in opposition to the
sugar industry as it is to all others,
aud the result of such tariffs as the
Mckinley tariff aud the proposed
Dingley bill is to tax the sugar
planter for q larger sum on the
other commodities which he must
purchase than the protection of his
product amounts to.
Hence it follows that protection
robs every class Of the community,
even those it pretends to benefit,
but whom it only deludes. Protec-
tion is plain robbery, and it has
been decided to be so by the Su.
preme Court of the United States.
In the middle ages the robbers who
infested England robbed the rich,
the overfat abbots and priests and
wealthy ministers, but they gave OF
their pluuder literally to the poor.
In this enlighten ed age, however,
the robbers ipfest the halls of Con.
gress and the White House and
they rob the poor, the widow and
the orphan, the toiler and the me-
chauic, to give to the rich. Robin
Hood, though perhaps q fictitious
character, was the type of the rob.
bers Of the days Of chivalry. Nc
Kinley, Tom Reed, Dingley and
their associates are the types OF the
robbers We have in their later days.

The announcement that the de.

surprising to them. They were
under the impression that the hard
work they performed last year for
the preservation of the nations
credit would give them immunity
from petty litigation of this nature.

Democratic View Of the Ding
ley Bill.

Seldom has there been a more CO.
gent, clear and convincing exposi.
tion ;of the protection fallacy than
is contained in the minority report
of the Committee on Ways aud
Means on the DiDgley Tariff bill. 1t
makes so plain that only block,
head can fail to see it, that if the
bill achieves its purpose it will raise
prices, that it will thus take money
from all the people to distribute it
among q few, that taxation is a
burden and not a blessing, that a
protective tariff encourages perni-
cious and dangerous extravagance,
teaches the people to look to the
Government for the promotion Of
all kinds of Improbable enterprises
which can be made profitable only
by compelling the consumers OF the
United States to pay exorbitant
prices TOR their products, and cor
rupts the public mind and the pub
lies servants.
OUt tuO tuV0t 0tAt0tOk 0uU v0su0
BILE part of the report is that which
shows how trusts are built up by
protection, which is avowedly based
upon the theory that competition
should be restricted. It is perfect
u evident, and experience has
proven it to the c0untry's cost, that
men who shave secured themselves
against foreign competition by the
favor of Congress" will certainly
secure themselves against domestic
competition by voluntary combina-
tions among themselves"
The minority report is vain pro.
test now, for the trusts and corpor.
ations are determined to have their
pound Of flesh as nominated in the
bond executed to them by Mr.. Han
NJ last summer. But it will be
needed BY the people, aud will have
its effect two. years hence.-N. J.

to aid private enterprise and build
up private fortunes, is not the less
robbery because it is done under
the forms of law and is called tax
ati0n."
l agree with that other distin.
guished Republican, Judge Cooley,
who in his work on Constitutional
Limitations, says:
"Constitntionally q tax can have
no other basis than the raising of
revenue for public purposes, and
whatever governmental exacti0n
has not this basis is tyrannical and
unlawful.n

Pittsburg, Pa, May 3.-The origin of the fire which destroyed $3,h30, 900 worth of merchandise and property last night, is a mystery. The flames broke out about midnight in the wholesale grocery build ing of T. c. Jenkins & O., and burned with great fury until o'clock this morn ing. The insurance will probably amount to $1,5O0000. The burnt section extends from Fifth street to Cecil alley on Penn sylvanfa and from Cecil alley to Fifth street on Liberty street, covering an area of several acres: One ireman was killed and a number injured by falling walls! The dead man is Geo. ,Atkinson, of Fifteen engine company. The injured are: S

A CRAVE MISTAKE
Of the Greeks Was Their Desultory At-

Of the Greeks Was Their Desultory At-
 tack on Turks at Prevesa-
 London, May 3.-The correspondents of the Daily Mail at Aata, will say tomor- row: "One of the worst mistakes the Greeks have made has been the casual and intermittent character of the attack upon Prevesa. Its capture was essen- ual if the Greeks meant business in Eptr- us. The capture of so strong place by the means adopted, was quite impossi- ble and now the opportunity is lost al- together.
 Instead of desultory firing which en- abled the Turks to repair damage about as fast as it was done, the town should have been attacked wi.h determination by the combined naval and military forces.
 ''Arta Is now deserted, Is wretched in habitants living in the fields behind the town, many of them on the verge of star vation. Nothing is procurable in the way of food, except candy and an un- certain supply of bread. Women and children are suffering pitiably with cold and hunger and to those tortures Is add ed the dread of a Turkish attack at any moment"
