and the susjK*iision of Mr. IV, A. Stone,
United States attorney for the western
district of Pennsylvania, appointed by
President Ajrthur, Both of these gentle
men wcrc'ktispended for making politi
cal speeches, and President Cleveland
seems to think there is no difference be
tween a republican and a democrat. In
fhis instance the Missouri Republican
very pertinently asks: Are the children
of the hohsehold to be put on the same
footing with aliens?—the faithful soldiers
of the cause with the unsubdued and still
hostile soldiers on the other side? Is a
seal in defence of our cause to he ranked
as an equal offence with and treated
with the same pitiless rigor as an open
attack on that cause?
“It was republicans who brought Col.
Benton’s offending to the president’s at
tention, and we can well imagine that
the surprise and delight they feel at their
unexpected success in bringing down the
executive axe on the head of an estima
ble and popular democrat is quite equal
to the surprise and grief which democrats
feel at the same unexpected and merci
less stroke. And what a grotesque and
repulsive position of things do we see as
the result of it all! Missouri republicans
become faithful spies to a democratic ad
ministration, and Missouri democrats the
subjects of its discipline; the partisans of
James G. Blaine wielding the headsman’s
axe under a democratic administration,
and the partisansof Grover Clexeland its
victims 1”
The election dispatches from Salt Lake
City published in our issue of yesterday
said that the Mormon candidate for con
gress who ran ugainst a democrat had a
walk-over. A man in that country
whose platform advises an economy of
women gets left every time.
A WORII WITH THE I’TLSII!KNT.
Thirty-five states held elections on
Tuesday, all of them electing congress
men and many of them voting for state
ofli"ere. The congressional election set
tles the complexion of the fiftieth con
gress, and while the democrats will still
maintain a majority in the house of rep
resentatives, the indications are that the
majority will not he so great by ten or
fifteen members us it was during the last
congress. That this was predicted be
fore the election took place iH no excuse
for its being I he case, and the inquiring
mind naturally easts about to see what
has effected this change.
It must honestly be admitted that sev
eral reasons combine font.’,' SeVerall o'f
the republican states have been so gerry
mandered by state legislatures as to
make almost impossible the,flection of a
democratic congresstnUn. The long and
profitless session of congress that had
a fitting ending by democratic treachery
to the tariff reform had something to do
with democratic apathy in this off year.
Local causes had something to do with
republican success in some instances.
But the fact that President Cleveland
seems to treat democratic and republi
can officials with determined impartial
ity has more to do with republican suc
cess than all other causes combined.
The democratic masses are loyal to dem
ocratic principles and have the greatest
respect for Mr. Cleveland, but they also
respect themselves and are by no means
sycophantic nor servile.
It occurs to us that the election just
past should teach the administration a
wholesome lesson. The forty-ninth con
gress 1ms not accomplished all that was
hoped of it, but it has thus far been
greatly superior to the republican con
gress that characterized itself in tne elec
tion of a vulgar spoilsman like Keifer as
speaker,. It made an honest effort to re
duce taxes and remove temptations for
extravagant appropriations, and would
have done so but for the action of Mr.
Randall and a few democrats whom he
enticed to follow his lead. The demo
crats throughout the country recognize
the high character and ability of the
president, and they heartily endorse
the firm and conscientious manner
in which President Cleveland has given
to the country a wise and prudent ad
ministration, refonni ng the glari ng abuses
which have crept into public service
under bis republican predecessors. Not
only this, but if Mr. Cleveland is nomi
nated by the national democratic conven
tion two years lienee, be will receive a
solid electoral vote from the south. But
the south nor the democrats of the coun
try cannot be brought to believe that
there is any merit in a democratic
administration treating its friends no
better than its enemies.
A case in point is that of the suspen-
glton of Col. M. E. Benton, United States
THAT WICKED SCOOPING BUSINESS.
With the consciousness of performing
a stern duty, and having the best interest
of the patient at heart, we feel disposed
to raise a voice of reproof against the
manner in w’hicli a reporter in the At
lanta Constitution manufactures railroad
news for that enterprising newspaper.
He is not a bad man at heart, and does
not engage in sensational stories for the
purpose of injuring any one. He is by no
manner of means such a man as the Chi
cago reporter who, ncoording to his own
account, became a member of a secret so
ciety and took its oath for the purpose of
betraying the secrets of its order for his
newspaper. A man capable of doing this
is not to be trusted under any circum
stances, and we only refer to him in this
connection to Bhow that the Atlanta re
porter is not bad in that wicked sense.
, It will be remembered that some weeks
ago this enterprising reporter undertook
to “scoop” the Central railroad and make
changes in the official rna agement for
which no provision was made in the
charter or any where else. It was thought
then that the tenacity with which the
officials held on to their positions would
be a sufficient reproof for him not to un
dertake anything of the kind again. But
not so. With a few strokes of his versa
tile i'aber Mrs. Kittie Green is made to
lease the Central to the Richmond and
Danville road, and that too, ! n face of the
fact that no one but the board of direc
tors are vested witli any such authority,
and then only by a vote of the directors.
The reporter is ingenious enough to
make some prov. incut railroad man fur
nish him with the information—a fortu
nate thing for some prominent railroad
man that he is a manufactured one. Since
the reporter, “scoooped” the Central some
yreeks ago, nothing more was heard of a
lease or scoop in this state, until
Monday when the Constitution published
a Jew York special stating that Mrs.
Green had secured control of the Geor
gia Central. Before night the enterpris
ing reporter had loomed the minutest
, details, even to the lettering of-the cars,
how the traffic will be handled and in
whose interest the road will be operated.
A eruel featnre of this wicked scoop
ing business is the fact that the hopes
of Savannah, Macon, Columbus, Opelika,
Goodwater, Birmingham, and all inter
mediate towns and communities are to
be blighted. It mudt, indeod, be a cruel
reporter .who would so, wantonly do this,
when he eouUl just as easily have gone
on with the extension of the Columbus
and Western road as to have abandoned
it entirely. Just because it will interfere
with the Georgia Pacific road the exten
sion will not be made. This, too, alter
President Raoul has gone to the trouble
to make all the necessary surveys, let
out the contracts, start the work of con
struction and negotiate for the steel rails.
Not only this, but ho has just purchased
twenty miles of road-bed leading to the
coal mines, which are to connect with
the Central at Birmingham. Yet this
“scooping" reporter upsets the whole busi
ness.
But the most cruel part of all this
“scooping” is that, as one of the results,
Savannah is to become a way station
Savannah is now one of the most promi
nent of all the Atlantic seaports and cot
ton receipts bear favorable comparison
with any. This has been made possible
through the Ocean Steam-hip Company,
which the same ruthless faber tells us
“will be discontinued and the Savannah
lines reduced to something scarcely
more than perfunctory.” Of course the
reporter did not know that 4be Central
railroad was going to purchase the con
trolling interest in the Boston and Savan
nah Steamship Company, running a line
of boats between Savannah and Boston
in order to run it in connection with
the Ocean Steamship Company’s line.
If the Central was foolish enough to
make such a'puivhase twenty-four hours
after the reporter had “scooped” the
Central, no censure can attach to the re
porter, and in this we fully exonerate
him. However, it is hoped be witl re
cant and allow these steamships to run
a-* usual.
“All things that are lawful are not ex
pedient.” It may he perfectly legitimate
for the reporter to scoop up'railroads, but
we submit that it is cruel in him to
wreck so qiany hopes and "anticipations
in the act.
8PEAKKB UHLtSI.V: OEI'EATKO.
Hon. J. G. Carlisle, of Kentucky, has
been defeated. The cause of this defeat
is attributed to democratic disaffection
in his district. If this be true there is!
more honor in his defat, standing I
square upon the line of democratic prin
ciples, than there is in the re-election of
Hon. Samuel J. Randall in a district with
a large republican majority. No truer 1
democrat ever entered the house of!
representatives, and he was conceded to I
be one of the ablest and best men iu his
party. That he should fall a victim to a
man unknown beyond the confines of
his own district, shows to what extent
the apathy or discord among democrats
may be carried when they feel assured
that the administration is not in accord
with them. No doubt the republicans
will consider this a great feast, and even
democratic papers that are cheek by
jowl with republicans on the
tariff question may rejoice in
his overthrow, but it means
oppression for the taxpayers of the coun
try. The high tariff system is broaden
ing its empire, multiplying its drains
upon the country’s varied interests, and
greatly augmenting its oppressions. It
is taxing us now, not even under the pre
text of providing revenues. That pretext
is largely swept away, as nearly 40 per
cent, of the taxes extorted is to be hoard
ed in the treasuary because the govern
ment can find no use for it. Ndt only is
it ruinously taxing production and wealth
for a large proportion of their income,
but, with redoubled economic malignity,
it is hereafter to cripple these interests
by drawing money from trade, increas
ing interest and cost, and embarassing
the production and distribution of the
wealth which has to furnish the revenue.
The south and the whole country
needed the services of Mr. Carlisle and
his defeat may rightly be regarded in the
nature of a public calamity. ,
