 Of course. the ignorant vulgar be- lieved that Cleveland and Carlisle were bought. There was one story that Morgan dnn oo gave cieysland I and .sn erinc or mated Carlisle demanded and got an additional $12,000,000 for hts share. Thousands implicitly believe It.

 When the gold standard was estab- lished crosperity came with a rush. It would have been Democratic prospefi- ty if the party had followed Cleve- land, and every succeeding Congress would have been Democratic. This moment Democrat would be presi- dent If Cleveland had not been depos- ed. and a Southern Democrat, at that, I make no doubt.
 We'll. Cleveland has again shown them the road to victory; he has , advised another tariff fight. That would unite the Democrats and divide the Republicans. That is a conflict from which the Republican party shrinks You can always depend on the G. o. P. to know which side of It's bread has the butter on 1t. It knows that 1t is an utter impossibility for a Republican Congress to reform the tariff. Tn tarif matters it takes its orders from Pennsylvania. The tariff is an arch. Take one brick out of 1t and the whole thing falls. The Republican party will pever touch 1t, simply because Pennsylvania is satis- fled with it as 1t is.
 If we get tariff reform, it will be at the hands of the Democratic party. And the Democratic party will be In position to give 1t us when it shall summon the Republican party to tariff fight, and not till then.

Cleveland and Reform :.

Savoyard in Nashville Banner.
 Mir. Cleveland rescued this country from the ruin into which the Republi- can party plunged 1t by the enact ment of the sherman silver law, and for that service to the American peo- ple narrow and bigoted Republicans will never forgive him, nor cease to islander him. The Sherman silver law party was too pusilIanimous to allow President Harrison to veto a free sil- yer bill The Fifty-first Congress was Republican in both Houses and stood This was partial repudiation, little less vicious than the more brazen repu- diation of the unconstitutional legis- lation creating the greenback. AS soon as the Sherman silver law was signed by Harrison and Cleveland would have vetoed it--the country started on the road to the silver ba- sis. By the time Cleveland was in- augurated 1t was we'll on the way to repudiatlon, and the Harrison admin

place pointed out to him where the tampering with therails was to be done, :. and his work was timed. The corre- spondent of The Times thus describes his operations: 3
 Crash! A spike. came teartng out of the heavy tie on the inside 1l4fhe hun dred- pound rail close to Joint,1 the clawbar having been shot under 1t by the expert workman. Bangi Bang! Bang! came the spikes in succession. while the railroad officials ree1ed at the speed. Six, seven. eight spikes came out from as many different ties. and like a flash the workman was at the bolts and nuts of the fish plate holding with a few whiris of the wrist. The heavy caawbar was inserted under the outer edges of the now weakened rail and the end was showed in just past the released fish plates was dropped in to hold 1t in thls position. The work man held up his hand.
 Just five, minutes had been required to so arrange the loosened rail that a wreck would have been unavoidable ], This phenomenal quickness, coupled with the fact that it has heretofore been impossible to catch the wreckers at their work, shows that professional experts were the scoundrels who have been wrecking trains. Why they did t ia not so' easy to answer. So far as we are informed there has been no robbery. 50 that we are forced to the. conclusion that band'of thorough de- generates has been at work, or else that 1t is the work of unprincipled miss creants who have spite or srudge against the company and are taking this fiendish method of displaying their venom. The latter solution is most probable and 1t is fervently to be hoped that some at least of the yil- lains will be apprehended and get their just reward. .rt

OUTRAGEOUS AND INDISPENSABLE
 CONDUCT. ~

SolNDOSAs
 Such scenes as were enacted in the neighborhood of the fountain on Court Square last Monday night are not cai- culated to promote peace. or to make friends for those who are engaged in the strike against the Traction Com pany.
 It has been demonstrated that the company can run its business independ- entity of it's recent employees. who saw proper to quit its service. and inau- gurate a strike. It was the duty of the men when they quit to go their own way and to allow the company the same privilege.
 It has heretofore been claimed that it was not strikers who fired into cars and committed other outrages, but there seems to be no dispute that some of the strikers were the movers in the movement against Curry and Peoples. employees of the Traction Company. These two men were certainly doing no one harm. when they were engaged in eating their supper and there was no call for any man CT body of men threatening them and giving one of them an hour or two of time in which to leave this city.
 Fortunately the crowd was dispersed, but such actions as they indulged Tn can not be too severely condemned. Somebody ought to be punished for such tnfraction of law. If the strik- CTS are as they claim peaceful and law abiding they will frown down on all such movements as the one which might have led to bloody consequences last Monday night.
