But II might be as much out Of place

Is 1t to be a Force Bill.

There have already begun to be whis-
perings of force bill. Now that the
Republicans have the Senate for a
number of years, and will have the
Aouse for two more any way, there are
many partisans who hope that Mr..
Lodge will bring forwardthe. bill which
was so dear to his heart, but which he
could not pass when he formerly tried,
and with the aid of an overwhelming
majority in the Senate push it through.
This may be only partisan dream, but
ces this government will have under
taken since it sought to destroy slavery
1t involves consequences more serious
than can we'll be conceived Of The day
was when by force bills the party in
power might have to some extent sub
jected the white people of the South tt
negro domination, but that day has
passed. Should the thing be ATTEMPTED
now it could only be enforced over the
dead bodies of more men than fell be
tween 1861 and 1865. The spirit of The
Southern people is such that they will
not suffer degradation, and they look up
on such laws as force bills, as the most
debasing and degrading slavery. We
have no idea, however, there are people
enough in this country who are seeking
| trouble to revive that relic of the past
that ubiquitous Lodge bill

No Bed of Roses.

The Republicans viii! have control OF
both houses of the next Congress. This
will not meet unless in special session
before December, 1899. By that time it
is presumed much will be done. The
Philippine question will have been set
tied and many other problems arising
out of the war, but the Republicans will
have the whole work to do. 1t is pro-
badly better for the Democrats that the
next house is Republican. With its
control come the cares and responsible
ties which are now so numerous and
daily increasing. Having the reins OF
government in their hands they cannot
point their fingers bit US and say, thou
out the man" when mistakes are made,
and when conditions do aot improve.
This is one of the most critical periods
in the life of that party. L has made
great effort to hold the Senate. 1t is
remarkable that it succeeded in CONTROL
ing the legislatures in several doubtful
States. and thus kept foot bold in the
Senate which is the Wall Street end of
National Congress. But notwthstand-
ing this the period is the most trying
that party has had to pass through in
years. There is dearth Of money and
always will be under existing condi
tons If our trade increases our volume
Of currency ought to increase, but
under our tariff rules which require US
TO dispose of our goods in home mar
ket the volume cannot increase, and
without it we are lost The government
in the newly acquired countries will be
source of much vexation, the contrac
ton of our present currency by taxation
is already alarming. The failure of
trde conditions to improve has already
caused dismay among the soundest ad
vocateS of Republican principles, the
Dingley bill is an acknowledged failure
and there are none to do it reverence.
All these and q thousand more troubles
independent of, as well as consequent
upon the war, make unasy the head that
wears the crown, and inasmuch as the
winning in this election was as nothing
to winning in the next, there are many
who are not sorry that the burdens and
travail of the nation are just now to be
borne by the Republicans, who must
account to the people before the next
presidential election for their steward
snip, and that account must be salts
factory or they viii be dismissed in dis
grace

Money and Nothing Else Will Do It.

Now lets get together and start bus
iness'' say many Of our gold bug coa-
temporaries. The elections caused
uncertainty and people would not take
hold Now all hands-give her a shove
and away goes business. Well What
next, what other excuse is to be given
for business tagging? The election OF
McKinley was to do this work, the gold
standard was to do it. but now all hands
must get together and give business a
shove. The election scared it, some
thing else viii! scare it, another election
will be on us pretty soon and there VIII
be another excuse. What humbuggery,
what deceit, what fraud has been per-
petrated on cur people. Unless We
have more moLey, no matter how much
we get in the push, no matter how much
we all get Together, the thing will not
bulge. Our heels IRE in tile mire to
the hub, and there is no getting them
out otherwise. So for heavens sake
stop that talk about everybody getting
together.

Cow Ate Apples and Gave MIX Punch.

1t is unnecessary to argue the point
that when Il cow deserts the Dai roW
path of moderation the character OF
that peaceful animal suffers. H. w.
Collingwood, who has an experimental
farm near Westwood. N. j., has such a
COW. The COW gorged herself upon ap-
pies, which fermented, and she present
ed spectacle of bovine intoxicatiOn
that painfully shocked her owner, who
is devoted to the cause of temperance.
Neigh boring farmers said it was collie
that trouble the animal, but Mr.. Col
IingWood declared that he could discern
the baleful work OF the demon rum, and
was scandalized beyond measure The
COW, during three days, passed from the
hilarity to maudlin grief, and rhen to
repentance. She Was MIXED regul Ar,y,
and allowed herself siesly grin as she
gave quart after quart of strong milk
puoch Mr.. Collingwood refused to al
low the connection to be used. The COW
now wears a blue ribbon OH her hOrns.-

After The Battle.

Now that the smoke of battle has
cleared away those who won and those
who lost are hunting for the causes.
The occupant of the White House is not
happy. In almost every district in
which he spoke on his recent Western
trip if not in every one the Democrats
were successful. The vindication he
sought did not come and it is doubtful
whether his party will control the lower
house The scepter may depart from
Juda, in the taking of the gavel from
the hand of Thomas B. Reed, and useful
monetary legislation the Republicans
tell US will be impossible of enactment.
Why this was not enacted earlier we are
not told. But the tremendous reaction
must cause dismay, and there are not
few Democrats who wish to see the
Lower House of Congress in the hands
Of the Republicans. because such result
will mean the overwhelming defeat OF
that party in 1900. The manner OF
handling the country since the election
of 1896 has shown the Republicans to be
blind. No conquered territory has been
ridden over as our people have been.
They are taxed to desperation, the tariff
has been kept upon every character OF
goods. The volume of money has been
curtailed until our business is admit
tedly done greatly ON credit, and no re-
lief has been given as promised. These
conditions met rebuke in the recent
election which means a Republican
funeral in 1900, unless the wage earneJs
and the farmers receive better treat
ment. The tariff which purports to be
for the benefit of the laboring man, he
knows puts the money first into the
pocket of his employer. If any OF it
reaches him afterwards be must earn it.
and he has rebelled against such pro
fessed protection. The farmer knows
that protection was never meant ior
him, and has destroyed our commerce
and shut many foreign markets to bis
products. Sixty cent wheat has been
borne as long as he will bear 1t without,
murmuring, so that both he and the
laborer are bent upon change OF condl-
tions. They too are both for peace, The
war had no charms for them, and when
their money went into taxes, to acquire
useless possessions, or create standing
| armies, they rebelled. The genera
stagnation in business, and the contem
ptuous treatment of the public gener
ally 10y those in power has led to this
rebuke, and if wise the party in powel
will heed it and treat the people less al
conquered subjects and more as loya
subjects and soyereigns. 1t is a grea
lesson and may do good. We hope i
will.
