SATURDAY. NOVEMBER Is, 1885,
sEy,TOR DANIELS LETTER.

In hii letter to the Philadelphia Press
which wo reproduced yesterday. Senator
Daniel saws he sees mo encouragement
to Democrats in the recent elections,
and ne expresses the opinion that 1T Is
premature to shape issues before the con
ditiops of 1900 are developed. as they may
be very different from those existing
now"
So far as the elections are concerned,
we think the Democrats did as well as
they could have been expected TO DO IN
every State except Kentucky. They made
a mistake In nominating Mr.. Goebel.
That is clear enough now. With a better
candidate they might have won easily.
But the bolt from our party in Kentucky
waq not on account Of national issues.
The fight made against Mr. Goebel was
largely personal Ho was obnoxious TO
rho Louisville and Nashville railroad peo-
ple and he was Objectionable 10 many
others. 10 not q few he was personally
objectionable: to otheri hij political me-
thods were distasteful. That the Ken
lucky feud has left our party there in
bad condition we do not deny, but GER
tainly wa may indulge the hope that it
will pull itself together" before the next
presidential election.
our victory in Maryland was not VIC
tory for the Chicago platform, and We
suspect that Major Daniel has been led
IA say what he does say, chiefly by rea-
son o. that fact and in view Of the rup-
turo IL. Kentucky. But we would not
take & gloomy view of the situation, FOR,
an Major Daniel suggests, 1t Is ''prema-
ture 10 shape issues before the conditions
of 1900 are developed, as they may be DIFF
ferent from those existing now Much
may happen in Congress TO give the
Democrats opportunities which are now
invisible with imperialism We cannot
compromise. but Il may appear hereafte
that opposition TO that doctrine ana suci
practices is not a hopeless undertaking.
To ba sure. not very much encourage
ment is in sight, but according TO Senate
Daniels own proposition, issues may b'
developed different from those existing
now. So, too. we may determine thei
better than at present what addition
and qualifications" to the platform OF lSs
should ba made. In short we can onl,
watch and wait. The much desired en-
couragement may be nearer at hand tha
wa imagine.
We may add that Senator Jones, o
Arkansas. takes quito hopeful view o
tina results of the elections He says
the Republicans ara satisfied with then
he certainly is. He thinks we did yer
we'll. indeed, in Ohio. ard that the IRE
turn OF Maryland 20 the Democratic fol'
and the winning of Nebraska, is an ONE
that BODIES no good for the present ao
ministration'

WHY.

That was. says the New York Times,
dispatch very disgusting to American
readers which appeared in yesterday
papers and which told, on the authority
of a British officer, how 1900 rations OF
salt carbon labelled New York, 1888
had been thrown overheard from one
British transport. The announcements
adds the Times, may have suggested 10
many readers how pleasing it would be
n see the particular rascal who unloaded
this stuff on the British army neatly sus-
pended from the end of yard-arm ior
tho announcement of others.
But why hang this particular rascal to
O vard-arm "for the encouragement OF
others" when the particular rascals
who furnished our own troops with SINH
lar stuff during our war with Spain were
LET off so easily? Why, indeed, when the
man who was chiefly responsible for
o,r own embalmed beef scandal has suf-
fered no greater punishment than sus-
pension from the army on full pay, which
is practically no punishment at all. If
some of the particular rascals who were
IN the Spansh-American war beef ring
had been dealt with as they deserved, II
is possible that the American people
wouldn't have occasion to feel disguised
over developments Of the British beet
contracts.
