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. , A CARD.
