A DESPERATE CASE.

Advices from Canton, s. D., are
rather discouraging.
A few days ago several millions of
the people of the land held meetings at
the ballot box and went home with the
pleasant conviction that they had safe
ly saved the country" by laying down
certain principles upon which it's gov
ernment should be conducted for the
future. or until other similar meetings
for the national welfare should be held.
The opinion seems to prevail quite
widely throughout the country that the
electors did a pretty good job. The
commercial reviews report an improved
tone and increased activity in business
since the election. If any citizen has
discovered that the effect of it has been
to circumscribe the boundaries of his
liberty and his opportunity he has not
been heard from. Indeed, affairs seem
to be wagging along SO comfortably
and the prospect is so reassuring that
Grover Cleveland has laid aside anxiety
and care and gone a-fishing.
But it appears that the security of
the country is only fancied. If the
Canton LEADERS prophet is not mis-
taken things are as bad as they can be
and are sure to grow worse. It is not
alone that "both houses of congress
will he Republican after March 4"
which is the trouble, according to the
Canton authority. That is only the
starter. It is what the congress is 60
ing to do which renders the outlook so
truly: awful. The Canton man expects
an n'extra session of congress, and, worse,
he apprehends the passage of the "in-
famous McCleary bankers' law" In
the Canton view ''the crime of 1878
won't'be marker to the robber, con-
fiscation, boyeotting provisions of this
meassre, the greatest banking trust
scheme ever devised by man." There
is lower depth of infamy, then, than
the crime of '73- to be sounded in the
future. That the Republicans are pre-
pairing for the plunge to it is evidenced
in the fact that Mr.. Walker, of Massa-
ohusetts, iis to be succeeded by 1Mark
Hanna Democrat" new variety of
bird. The soft Canton heart bleeds for
the poor bankers, who are going to be
crushed by this banking trust.
The Canton paper is speculating
largely in futures, and far ahead it sees
a ray of hope. "There will be a good
many free silver bankers after the Nc
Cleary law goes into effect" it says.
This will be distinct gain to the cause,
for bankers have been rather shy of it.
Then this is to happen: 1.-The Repub-
lican party is gorged with plunder and
power and will go on blindly as did the
slave power in 1860, and then will cone
a political revolution" This revolu-
tion will come in 1900, and Bryan
will lead the people" we are assured.
1t is indeed desperate case which
requires such a desperate remedy

The hypocrisy of Republicans pre-
vious to election in claiming everything
that was good for high tariff and espec-
tally for the Dingley bill as revenue
producer is now thoroughly exploded
by the confessions of all their leading
tariff advocates themselves, Mr.. Ding
ley excepted, but the last advocate we
expected to tumble from it's high perch
and supercilious attitude was that hide
bound gold standard and high protec-
ton organ, the Pioneer Press of st.
Paul. Now hear its sickening confes-
sion of weakness and note its slump al
most into tho 'anti-monopoly camp.
Such utterance sas we here clip from it's
editorials of tho 18th inst, would have
placed it in tho list of traitors to the
country by the Republican and admin
istration press. It.says:
Senator Hsnna has retracted or .ex-
planned away his previously reported
opinion that the tariff will have to be
revised to meet existing conditions;'
that we are not getting much revenue
from the present tariff law because we
are exporting instead ofimporting,,' and
that we must have q new revenue law
1t was probably after conference with
Mr.. Dingley, who no doubt pointed out
to him that the present tariff was q
fairly good revenue producer, that he
came to the conclusion that he meant
that the tariff would need revision at
some future time, but that we should
at once put increased duties on tea and
coffee to. provide the additional revenues
We need. 1t is probably true that the
tariff as q whole does not need revision
at present. But there are some par
ticnlars in which it obviously needs
amendment in order to provide ad-
ditional revenues, and still others in
which it needs amendment.for the pro-
tection of consumers from the greed Of
the trusts which are being organized by
the manufacturers in some of tho pro-
tected Industries. It is sound Republi-
can doctrine that whenever the bene-
iciaries of a protected industry form q
combine to do away with domestic COM
petition and arbitrarily raise prices the
duty should be so lowered as
to admit sufficient foreign competition to
keep prices at their legitimate level"
Note that Last clauee especially. Since
when has such belief become Sound
Republican doctrine" 1t must be since
the time every Republican in congress
voted against Senator Pettigrew's
to the Dingley bill previd-
ing for putting articles which became
the object of trust on tho free list. If
it is Republican doctrine now, it has
been resolved upon since the recent
and is hedging dodge to get
on the side of the people before the next
presidential campaign begins. But
whatever the motive it shows the craven
spirit and white feather of the Republi-
can who now advocates it.-Madison

MANIFESTO FOR PEACE.
Thirty-Five Associations and Newspa-
perS Ask for Peaceable Solution.
TT INHABITANTS ARE TIRED OF WAR.
Pence is Secured Complete Internal
Collapse Will Result and Spain
Will Be Ruined.

MADRID. The Madrid papers print
a manifesto having for its object
peaceful solution of the present war
with America.
The manifesto is signed by thirty
five associations and eighteen local
newspapers. 1t says the present evils
are "due to the existing regime, which
is nothing but government of dis
order and neglect"
After recalling the fact that the
Spanish monarchs have lost possession
after possession, it says:
"The United States government is
guilty of upjustifable aggression, but
if the war is prolonged Spain will be
completely ruined.
"A painful amputation is hundred
fold preferable to q terrible and disas-
trous war, and any transaction event
ually made will not be more honorable
after the country is ruined, the blood
of her valued soldiers shed, and star
walton has ravaged a majority OF the
,WOrklnBmen nomes.
The manifesto depicts the grievous
international situation, and says:
"Spain asks immediate peace, de-
spite the opposition of those who de-
sire the utter destruction of the coun-
try in order to impose their domination
upon its ruin. The sooner peace is
concluded the more advantageous it
will be. 1t is the duty of everybody
to endeavor to force the government
70 obtain peace.
: The document concludes by predict
ing, unless speedy peace is secured,
"a complete internal collapse, which will
lengulf economic prosperity and po-
'litical organisms, and launch the coun-
try into state Of anarchy and arbi-
trary despotism.

SANTIAGO AGAIN BOMBARDED.
1t 10 Believed the Enemy's Loss of Life
Was Very Heavy-The Vesu-
vius in Action.

Rear Admiral SIMPSONS feet bonn
barded the batteries at Santiago de
Cuba for the third time at daylight
Thursday morning. For hours the
ships pounded the batteries at the
right and left of the entrance, only
sparing Ell Moro, where Lieutenant
Hobson and his companions of the
Merrimac are in prison. The western
batteries, against which the main as
sault was directed, were badly dam
aged. One was utterly destroyed In
others many guns were dismounted.
At first the Span ards replied pas
sionately and wildly, but impotently.
Then most of the guns were deserted.
Not ship was struck nor man in
jured in the American squadron. 1t
is believed that the enemy's loss of
life was heavy.
As preliminary to the hammering
given the batteries, the dynamite
cruiser Vesuvius at midnight was given
another chance. Three 250-pound
charges of guncotton were sent over
the Notifications at the entrance The
ueSlBu WAS W ufOp tucin lutO buo puy
around Angle, back of the eminence
of which Ell Moro is situated, where
it was known that the Spanish torpedo
boat destroyers were lying. Two
charges went, though no reports were
heard, popularity of guncotton in
water. The third charges exploded
with terrific violence on Cayo Smith.
From where the feet lay the entrance
to the harbor looked in the black
night like a door opening into the
livid fire of Titanic furnace. A C a.
ter big enough to hold a church was
blown out of the side of the Cayo
Smith and was clearly seen from the
ship.
Admiral Sampson is highly gratified
with the results of the bombardment.
He thinks the western batteries are
practically demolished. 1t is judged
from position near the flagship,
that probably no fewer than 5000
projectiles were fired, of total weight
of half million pounds.
