THE CAUSES.
Tuesday's election resul’edTn a Sreit
Republican victory. That puny w.U
liave In the next house a majority of
nbout 100, and possibly may control
the senate also. As the Democratic
majority In the present nouso Is eighty,
the ehanuo in public lenUment and
opinion lud'.oated by the ttupuhUcan
majority 61 100 Is very great. Ap
parently. the people -cent something
which the Democratic party has done,
or they (ear the effects of eyiuatlr n^
which it threatens to do. Tfiejo w!)l be
differences, of opinion fl* to the cause
of the Republican landslide—that Is to
nay, whether the people resented the
Democratic change of tae tariff,or
feared that the Democrat* won)<\ br'ng
disaster on the country by exper.tllOllts
with the currency.
The matter Is one that ought to bo
discussed dispassionately, with a sin
cere Intention to arrive at tile truth,
and, aa far as possible, without preju
dice. The conclusions thus reached
may be of value to the party, whereas
if each newspaper editor sets ont to
prove that the party 1* ruined because
It failed to do as he demnuded, then It |
Is likely that tho cnu»e» which led to )
defeat will become even more active :
and result in even more disastrous de
feat In tlio future.
Now, what do tho election figures I
show? They show, in tho first place, '
that tho revolt against tho Demeciatio
party was lb no Sense'local, but was
common to California tend to Mnssa-.
chusctts, to Indiana riid to Notv York. I
Only In those Southern states where
the negro vote is a -.trio factor i>> pel-1
lt cs did the Democratic party hold Us I
own. In border states like Tcnhusseo 1
and Kontucky It suffered almost in as
great a measure as In the status north
of the Ohio and Potomac rivers This
fact, that tho defeat of,tho party was
general and not, local,, la of dm utmost
Importance. Ah attempt wai muds,
oven before tho election, in an
ticipation -or defeat, to, 2x the blamo
of that defeat upon the president. The
Atlanta Constitution, for instance, per
mitted a correspondent to say In Us
columns the day beftro the ol.-ctlon,
speaking of the pres.Jeut's failure to
regjter and rote In New York, that
“the spirit of tho Buffalo hangman tri
umphed over that of me Democ.mtlo
president. The disasters which will
happen to tho Demoerulo party o»u
be justly charged to the traitor of the
White House."
This (s not the proper course lor a
Democratic newspaper, but Is a nat
ural one for ti newspaper not lu sym
pathy with tlu> purposes of tho .Dam-
ocratlo party aud bitterly hostile to
tho Democratic president. Thut pa
per’* attempt to persuade It* readers
that tho disastrous results of Tuesday's
election were due to tho failure of tho
president to take part In tho Now York
elections Is likely to faiL Pi view of
the fact that the disaster waa si
marked in'otlier states at la Nc-v York.
The causes which produced a disaster
so widespread must be general lu char
acter, and It becomes Democratic news
paper* which really have the welfare
of to# party at heart to discover pre
cisely what they were. It seems to
the Telegraph that the first ot these
causes was the general and blind dis
content produced by bad business con
ditions during the last year or more.
The Democrats party la not respon
sible for the conditions which produced
the depression that has prevailed dur
ing tbta year, and ts responsible only
for the delay, growing out of factional
fights in It* own ranks, ,o repealing the
Sherman law and In substituting the
Wilton act for tha McKinley law.'. Blit
by thousands ot people who voted the
Republican ticket for the first ttma
Uet Tuesday, tlio' Demooratlo' party
la held responsible for tho results of
Republican legislation. They found
themselves suffering and they struck
blindly at the party in power beesuso
to that party only could they look for
relief. They did not atop to ask
whether the party In power could giro
relief Immediately, or wheraer It was
responsible for the loss they suffered.
They merely obeyed a blind desire to
strike.
Another reason suggested by tho
election return la that the country dis
trusted the Democratic party .‘n con
nect .on with tha currency question.
There baa been a tremendous effort J
nude by certain leaden and uewtpa-1
pen u> Identify tbs Democratic jvirty
w to tbe unlimited and unguarded coin
age of silver at the W to i ratio-shat -
1* to say, on the terms demanded by
the Populists. These leaders and news
papers succeeded, to j very considera
ble extent. They Manned thousands
of Democrat* who were at true io the
principles of the party a* men who
voted the ticket, but Woo feared that
the party was about to go Into control
of a dangerous element and could no
longer be trusted to preu-rve a sound
currency for the country. That the
revolt against the Uem «r*tlo party
was largely because of this reason is
Indicated by the fact that Democratic
tosses and Populist losses come to
gether. The Populist party is prac
tically wiped out of existence as a
force in national politics. It stood In
this campaign for nothing but ebeap
money. It It not reaaonab'a to say
that if the parly stand.ng only for
cheap money suffered In tills degree,
that the Democratic patty also suf
fered for the same lease,i, when the
fact !s well known that a large faction
in the party bad iccepred Populist
theories and wss trying to torcc them
upon the party a* n whole.
It la probable'that in terrain legions,
wbere the protective industries hive
bad a large development, that tho par
ty lost strength because of Its action
on the tariff. But the ima from tils
cause was very small. In our opinion,
compared with the loss troti the two
other causes already enumerated. We
do not believe the Democratic party
can regain Its hold ou the oonflc.cnce
ot the people so ling as tuere is any
reason to fear that If entrusted with
power It will enact into law any of the
cheap money schemes which have been
so earnestly advocated during the last
three or four yearn.
The revolt WSs, In cur, opinion, first
against bard times, and, second, against
Populism, whether In the Populist par
ty or the Democratic party. When
the Democratic party gels rid of Pop.
ullsm it will aga.n have a fair chance
to guln control ot the country and
hold It
worst possible enemy of the party In
forcing this nomln I'.ldii and bringlrg
about a Democratic defeat.
Mr. Cleveland coui-1 have well asked
himself It bis duty to his party did nut
require him to abstain from brining a
man to a place of honor—to the place,
In fact, of national leader-who tad
used me party as an instrument «t bis
personal ambition, and in so using It
bad greatly damaged tt, aud who when
trusted as a representative of the par
ty In the senate bad used all of bis
strength to defeat Its policy and acted
openly with its enemies. Mr. Cleve
land might also ask why Tam
many, in selecting congressional can
didate* this year, renominated every
man who followed Mr. Hill's example
and voted ugalnst tariff reform, and
rejected every mao who baft been faith
ful to Ms party and voted for the tariff
reform bill which Is now a law. It '»
not an accident that this was done.
It was deliberate policy, Why other
wise should Mr. Gilroy, now head ot
Tammany, say, as was reported la yes
terday's d.spatches, when Informed that
Mr. Wilson had been defeated, "That
Is good.” In making tost remain he
proclaimed himself the enemy uf the
Democratic party, and ho is tho polit
ical ally, the lieutenant, of Mr. HIIL
They have worked together in politics,
and no doubt hold the same slows It
may very well be questioned whether
the Democratic party la Injured mere
by being defeated by the Bepublicars
than It would have been had it ac
cepted as Us most powerful leader a
man who fought tariff reform with all
bis strength and mado Maynard Its
candldste In New York.
Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest Tj.S. Gov’t Report

ABSOEDTEK.V PU|*E
SENATOR BACON.
' CLEVELAND AND HILL.
A great deal has been said In harsh
criticism of Mr. Cleveland's failure to
take an active part in the campaign In
New York in behalf of Mr. Hill. Tho
Telegraph, In Us desire for DemocraUc
success, felt that Mr. Cleveland could
well afford to do all In ills power to
secure the election of the Democratic
ticket In that state. But It ts absurd
to say, as some of our contemporaries
do, that there was no excuse for Mr.
Cleveland Jn his failure to conic to Mr.
Hill's support.
In 1800 and 1802 the Democratic
party went to the country on Almost a
single ksuc—that of tariff reform. In
each of these campaigns It gained an
overwhelming victory, lu the first of
them the Republican party was almost
turped out of tho lower house of con
gress. In the second, tho Democratic
party gained oontrol of overy branch
of the government. It It stood tor any
thing, therefore. It stood for tariff re
form. Its failure to reduce tariff taka-
tlon could mean nothiug but that It
was utterly false to lu trust, and could
have no results except to bring tlio par
ty Into the deepest oontempt of all
honest, right-thinking people.
Congress was called together in ex
traordinary session lu August, tSlM.
A few days after it met, Mr. Hill of
fered a resolution, the purport of which
wns that tho public Interests required
that there should be mi tariff legisla
tion at that session of congress. At tho
very'beginning, there Cur i, of liis ca
reer as a senator—at <lr> very first op
portunity—ho declared himself not
merely the enemy of a specific tariff
reform measure, bat at tariff reform
in general, and theref-vo of tho policy
to which his party was thoroughly
committed, and which It could not rail
to execute without disgracing itself.
After this, through all the long months
of tho extra session au>l the regular
session, Mr. Hill wts consistent In his
opposition to tariff ret inn, He found
an excuse always to oppose any bill
offered, and finally, when the Wilson,
bill came to a vote, after mouth* of
delay, which he help-il to cause, he
voted against tho bill sntl with the Re
publicans. If there is an accusation of
treason, therefore, why should it not
be addressed to Mr. 1IU! Instead ot
Mr. Cleveland! Wh? should tlio man
who mado tariff reform possible, who
was elected president aa the champion
of that policy, go out of his way to
help elect a man who hud used .,11 of
his power to defeat thu policy and to
disgrace his party?
There i* another eonalderxt on which
may have had weight with Mr. Cleve
land. Mr. Hill is being held up n*
a model Damoerat by those who lute
the president—at a man always faith
ful to hi* party. Hui It It tru-s that be
forced a nomination upou that party
In the state of New York In payment
of a personal obligation that enured
It* defeat by fifty thousand majorl'y—
the flm In many j.-an, The party
was demorattred oy that defeat, be
cause the defeat was deserred. The
candidate which :t h:iu offered to the
people was a man who had been de
clared by a committee, composed of
the most prominent members of >he
bar of New York, to be guilty ot one
of the most serious crimes known to
the law, and tuis candidate was ci
rcled for a seat in tho bench of u«
highest court of tho state. The result
ot Maynard's crime was the seat ng ot
Mr. Hill In the United States senate
and the continuation ot bls'poUttcsl
career. Nobody can deny that Mr.
□ill’s debt to him was a great cne.
But It he loved the party as much as
he I* i-.ild told o do. bow conM he.
subject it to defeat—worse ihan that,
subject It to disgrace—fo:' no tetter
reason than that ho wished to pay
May nard for making him United Slate*
senator? He oerta.n'y was himself the
THE MACON AND NORTHERN.
The outline of the reorganization plan
of the Southern railway, which was
reprinted in the Telegraph a few days
ago from the New York Herald, makes
provision for the absorption into tbe
Southern’* system of rho Macon and
Northern railroad. Since then Judge
Speer has confirmed the sale of the
Macon and Northern to Mr. Alexander
Brown of Baltimore. Tho fate of tha
,roud, therefore, Is In the hands of tho
latter gentleman.
The provision for the ibsorptlan of
the road in tbe Southern railway’s
system makes It evident that that vast
corporation will be a oldtter for Mr.
Brown’s property. It Is nacunfl to In
fer from the circumstances which ex
ist thut tho Seaboard Air LlneVwIll be
another bidder, and In the success of
the latter. In the opinion of the Tele
graph, Macon Is very greatly Inter
ested. Through Its connection at Ath
ens with the Seaboard Air Line, the
Macon and Northern affords an Inde
pendent outlet for Macon to the north
east. Without this Independent line
Macon. is practically dependent upon
tbe lines of a single company. It Is
probable that this company will bo
managed with a great deal of skill, that
it will avoid, as far as possible, creating
udt.igonlsm, and that it .-ill honestly
endeavor to build up the coimnu titles
through which It runs. It Is good bus
iness for a great railroad to do all ot
these things. Ncvertheles* it is a good
thing for t oity to have independent
means of railroad connection with the
rest ot tbe world, and tie sincerely
hope that tho Seaboard .Air Lino will
buy the Macon und Northern and re
lieve Macon thereby of complete de
pendence on tbe Southern.
OHXNA AND JAPAN?
Perhaps the world has not witnessed
before such a scene us that which oc
curred at Pekin and was reported In
our telegrams yesterday, wUeu the man
tvbo Is the dictator of the most pop
ulous empire on earth called nil ’of
the foreign ministers in council and
openly confessed to ibeui that tho em
pire of which he la tne head ts utterly
unable to defend itself against
tho andles of another nation,
insignificant In population und
wealth compared with It. * In
doiug this, Prince Rung practically
throw himself on the merry of the civ
ilised European nations. He admitted
that Japan had the power to destroy
the Chinese emD.re. Ho begged that
these European naiVina, lu order to
protect their one 'nt« oats, save his
empire from destruction.
It Is likely that peue will bo the re
sult of this appeal for mercy, Tho ruler
who makes It ia prepared to make any
concessions which Japan demands. It
la only the power ot Wopeau power*
who may wish to preserve China in
her present condition substantially uu
changed, that will limit thu amount of
the tndemn.ty which Japan will re
ceive. It Is likely that tho European
arbitrators will demand that Japan's
advance Into China ceaataud that their
demand will be heeled. Then they
will decide, in all probability, that Ja
pan's victories entitle her to suzerainty
over Corea, adit to an iudemnity large
enough to cover her expenses during
the war. These terms w il bo liberal
to Japan, and will probably lead to a
permanent peace. There Is not In tho
Chinese a national prole so sensitive
that it will resent la after ytara tue
present Japanese suoeess. TheChlmse

Senator Baoon la a man of conceded
ability. He occupies positions on ail
manors ot public import which axe aat-
isfaooory to every Democrat—save on
tho silver question, and on tinuit position
is fairly conservative. While an advo
cate of free coinage he Is not In favor
or any project mat might destroy the
parity between gold and sliver. Senator
Baoon naa reached the goal of his am
bition. No doubt he will exert his best

With forehead white, 'nettfh the tan

And limbs devoid of grace.
Whose feet toe in. while hls elbow*

Whose knees ore patched always,
Wlho turns es red as a. lobster when!

A boy who was bom with an appetite,
Who seeks the pantry shelf
To e»t hls “niece" with resounding

Who isn't gone on himself—
A Robinson Crusoe reading- hoy,
Whose pockets bulge with trash;
Who knows the us* of rod and gun,
And where the brook trout splash.
It's true he'll sit In the easiest chair,
With hat an hls touseled head;
That hls hands qnd feet are every

For yourh must have room to spread,
But he doesn't dub hi* father “old

Nor deny hls mother's call,
Nor ridicule what Ms elders aay.
Or think that he knows tt all.

Of good old-fashioned clay:

like pictures, and the father of all will probably

to his own business. When we say to you thaf
there is one source from which all these
