In some of the northern Btntes there is

It is estimated that it was a cool day
when Blaine went into the anthracite re
gions of Pennsylvania. People were re
minded of his visit to the Hocking
valley.
One of the newly elected congressmen
in Ohio, says he is going to propose a
uniform marriage law. We protest. It
is doubtless done in the interest of mili
tary men.
A society lady recently told an editor
that young people married at a distance
from home because they knew the hoys
and girls among whom they were raised.
Oh, no. It is only a duty they owe on
imports.
An Alabama editor excitedly exclaims
in a political editorial, "Let the people
stop and ask themselves ‘what’s in the
wind?’ ” If the Alabama editor and the
people headdresses will lean this way,
while we brush our lappels and rub our
eyes, we’ll gently whisper, “Dust.”
When offices fall into the hands of un
worthy men, ns too many of them too
■often do, it is owing to a gross perversion
of the electoral machinery. This, in sub
stance, is the proposition which David
Dudley Field takes as a text for a reada
ble, if not notable, article in the Forum
under tre title of “Our Political Meth
ods,” No one will quarrel with his text.
It is a huge and ugly fact. It points in
■the direction where reform efforts can
best be employed. Nor will anybody
quarrel with Mr. Field’s assertion that
the people themselves are responsible.
The convenient habit of throwing re
sponsibility on the politicians is unavail
ing; not thus easily can the blame at
taching to the mass of voters ho shifted.
“The politicians,” he believes, “are just
what we make them, or allow them to
become.”
ONE OF THE SI ltl’ItlSKS.
The result of the Tuesday’s election
brought many ■■urpvises, but none greater
than the defeat of lion. W. II. Morrison,
of Illinois. The day before the election
bets were freely offered by those who
believed they fully understood the situa
tion that Col. Morrison would carry
every county in his dis'rict. These bets
were offered by men knowing the des
peration of the republicans and that
they were assisted by the eastern iron
barons in their attempt to defeat him.
They knew that every means, legitimate
and otherwise, to cut down his majority
anil, if possible, to defeat him, had been
used. Gold galore from eastern sources
had been scattered throughout the dis
trict, every corruptible voter had been
“seen,” and the incorruptible ones
worked with by those who desired to
see protected monopolies flourish. So
confident were the people that
lie would bo re-elected that
one of the most prominent
politicians in that ?tate made use of this
language the night before the election :
“Every intelligent voter in the district is
fully aware that this attempt is the final
attempt, the expiring wail of republican
attempts to defeat Col. Morrison, the
soldier patriot, the sturdy fighter for the
people’s rights, and the honest, energetic
and incorruptible opponent of robbers’
wiles and lobby schemes. It is not too
much to say that the civilized globe
awaits the outcome with intense interest,
and tiie larger his majority the more
faith will people have in the cause of free
government and honest administration.
His majority ought to be so large that no
republican, backed by the gold of eastern
capitalists, will dare stand against him
again.”
IT IN NO USE TO I1NCK MATTERS.
President Cleveland issued a proclama
tion Wednesday saving he could not see
any one for a number of days. This
proclamation was timely and appropriate,
it shows t hat he has some sense of con
science left. For more than a quarter of
a century there has been a battle waged
between the two great parties of this
country—a battle which had a continent
for an arena, the world for spectators,
and the priceless boon of civil liberty as
the prize of contention. The democrats
won the battle and climbed the throne
and assumed the scepter two years ugo.
And then—was there ever a romance gi
gantic enough to read like this? and
then, Grover Cleveland, president of the
United States by the grace of' God, and
the blood and sweat of his democratic
brethren, misused his high of- j
lice to the detriment of his
constituents and the damnation of his
party. The bars of office were let down
and those who had the record of having
remained in office for twenty-five ysars
"by the cohesive power of public
plunder,” were invited to come in and
fit down and feast with the victors and
with the children of the household.
What a company was that! Is it any
wonder that the victors are turning
away from a party which gives them
plenty of labor and warfare, but never
a speck of the spoils? Is it any wonder
that the door-knob of 'the democratic
citadel is hung with crape to-day? Is it
any wonder that when the awful day of
election came on, and the democrats
were being counted, in order that they
might vote, is it any wonder that
the voice of the democracy was heard
like Rachel weeping for her children
and refusing to be comforted because
they were not ? Is it any wonder that
the democracy sits to-day, like Job upon
his ash heap, scraping his ugly sores
with broken crockery pot-sherds, and as
she sits, bemoaning the fact that Cleve
land has saved the gods the trouble of
making the democrats mad in order to
destroy them? Is it any wonder that,
while we still control, we have lost 75
per cent, of our grip on the federal gov
ernment? Is it any wonder that we
were not utterly discomfited?
This union, thunk God, will yet be
saved from the coil and fangs of the re
publican serpent. It will yet be saved
from a corrupt centralism, which after
inflicting upon ten states the rapacity of
carpet-bag tyrannies, honey-combed and
hived the offices of the federal govern
ment itself, with incapacity, waste and
fraud, infected states and municipalities
with the contagion of misrule, and locked
fast the prosperity of an industrious peo
ple in the paralysis of “hard times.”
But when the union is saved it will not
he by a party of-lions led by an elk. It
will be saved by the party in which from
presidential candidate down to the hum
blest voter there will be but one senti
ment, “ to the victors belong the spoils.”
It will be saved by the party which shall
adopt the gallant appeal of the impris
oned gladiator Spartacus, when he stood
surrounded by his grim ’companions that
night in the prison of the Coliseum at
Rome, and said .- “If wo must fight, let
us fight for ourselves; if we must slaugh
ter, lyt us slaughter our oppressors; and
if we must die, let it lie beneath the blue
sky, by the bright w aters, in a noble and
an honorable battle.”
A I’lllLAUKI.FIIlA EDITOR.
There is nothing like going away from
home to learn the news at home. The
following is clipped from the Philadel
phia Ledger:
“Allanta, Georgia, could stand only about one
week of absolutely “dry” weather. When the
last license luid expired and “prohibition” had
bocomcafixod fact, the “wet” men set to work
at oneo to nullify tho law. The anti-prohibition-
ists captured a town meeting, and have so fixed
up a ticket—which the proliibitlonis's have ac
cepted--that the mayor and a majority of the
city council will favor an ordinance permitting
a local brewery ‘to exercise its chartered rights.’
This means the speedy cud of prohibition, ex
cept ns a matter of talk.”
Nobody but u Philadelphia editor or
an owl could have maintained his gravity
while making the prophecy in that last
sentence, if he meant prohibition in gen
eral. The average Philadelphia editor
is a lunatic and ought to be led around
by a rope.
Russia’s plan of action with refer
ence to Bulgaria is boldly announced by
the czar himself. Resistance to the laud
ing of Russian troops, or any insult to
the Russian flag, by the Bulgurs will give
occasion for the use of force. If for a
month past there lias been 'the slightest
doubt as to the czar's purpose it is now
totally dissipated. He intends to occupy
Bulgaria and set up Russian rule therein,
peaceably if tie can, forcibly if he must.
The other powers of Europe look on
either with indifference or in amaze
ment, it is not certain which. They seem
to be in a state of paralys’s, fearful of
the monstrous consequences of accepting
tho Muscovite challenge.
