THE WEEKLY TELEGRAPH: MONDAY. NOVEMBER 28, 1S92

ON THE ELECTION.
Iflterfiting Democratic Politics by a
Republican.
The following interview coming from
Jostxm E. Gewi. a Repubrcnn, I*
Interesting. He *sp:
He result, of tho election are a groat
porjmac, I tliink, to everyone. WHc it
^rai generally conceded on the evo of
election Alt tho Dmnocrats would cany
JJew York state, It was thought by Re
publican managers that such stales as
Indiana ami Illinois would certainly de-
elars for the present incumbent. Prob
ably tho greatest surprise to both partita
vaf tbe secession of the latter state to
die Democratio column. The Increased
registration In Cook county ought to
bar. been an eye-opener, for th* reason
that the rotes in nearly all at the large
titles affiliate with the Democrats, but
tbs Republican leaders apparently did
not anticipate -the result that followed,
otherwise greater efforts would un
doubtedly have boon put forth to turn
tbc tide, althougt It is posaible that the
local issues In Illinois and Wisconsin,
growing out of the school agitation,
would have made the result the same In
would bars made the result the
f .me in those states. However,
it is of no use now to think
of what might have been done.
Ha country has declared for Mr. Cleve
land in mo unequivocal terms, and a*
bis party has already carried the upper
buue of congrees, thereby giving the
Democrats full control of both branches
of the government. It la likely to soon
put into practice his well known views
on the tariff. The country, after n long
psriod of dulnrai, la at last beginning to
Show signs- of activity, and it seems un
fortunate that the neoplo should decide
(bat the now tariff law now needs
tinkering so soon after its enactment
and before sufficient tims has really
sis used to prove Its desirableness.
He English paper, are rejoicing at
the retuk of tbe election and are al
ready roanting oa better times In Groat
Britain, on the expectation that their
eiports to tins country will soon be
on a largely Increased scale under a
more favorable tariff. With their hopes
realized tbe workmen in this country
will have an opportunity to learn what
competition really means with countries
where low wages prevail, as they do in
England, Germany ond Prance. How
ever, they have called for a dhango from
existing conditions, and It is no more
tban right that they should be permitted
to try to solTe the problem In their own
way, Inasmuch is they are in the ma
jority, and if lower wages do follow
they will be the chief mourners. Tbo
Democrats certainly deserve credit for
the able manner in which they handled
their forces and money. Probably no
party ever went Into a presidential elec
tion better equipped and so thoroughly
organised as our Democratic friends In
that last campaign. Party differences
' and factional fights, which eeemed at
the outset liable to split the party in
twain, were subsequently entirely ellml-
uated (owing to Mr. Whitney’s persua
siveness) and instead of lukewarmness
end apathy oa displayed in some Repub
lican quarters .they worked for all they
were worth, making every atroke tell,
and succeeded in landing Mr. Cleveland
high and dir above his competitors.
Tiieir tank of course was natde much
easier uwuis w toe imti wet Mr. Cm’v-
land'i strong ysmoaolky makes him
popular with the masses, particularly
with the Gorman clemont. and it la ex
tremely doubtful if any other candidate
oouid have carried oa many states as
Mr. Clot-eland—possibly not enough to
bare elected him.
Several other causes militated against
the RepubLcan party. Take, for Instance,
tbe Homestead troubles, and although
the Republican# were in no way reepon-
ribls for them, they undoubtedly had con
siderable to do in aberrating (he votes <-f
the party, which is clearly shown In tbe
decreased majority given -a some of tbe
states aa compared with 1888, where
protection is without doubt beneficial, no
matter what may be claimed for ft hr'
other itales. The fact that such a vast
army of worklnonm were signally beat
en m their fight with Carnegie, a mem
ber of the Republican party, «n<l who ii
generally supposed to derive more bene
fit from a h-gh tariff than any other mnur
ufseturer in the United Btatas, was in
itself euffldent to drive them into the
Democrat's arms, for not being able to
vent their spleen openly against Carne
gie, they thought they saw a chnuce to
injure him by oastipig a vote for free
trade, and In this they wens assisted by
a large number of (heir,fellow workmen
throughout the country, for It must not
be forgotten than ben; is always a bond
of sympathy among the laboring classes
iu mauers of this kin-1, owing to the fact
trade union. Tbe Lodge bill was anoth
er obstacle in tbs way of success, and
was about as obnoxious to some of tbe
Republic#!!* as to thdr opponents, sod the
chines of carrying any of the Southern
tutu with such a measure in sight was
clearly out of tbs question, aud was
emphasised very strongly in the increased
majorities rolled up lor Mr. Cleveland
douu South.
It la always easy, when the smoke
deara awty after a battle, to discover
fts causes which led to defeat, and so
It la now. Were tho baltlo to be fought
over again, with tho knowledge now
pinsd. it Is likely that somewhat dif-
tattles would bo omployod—but
J *• possible that tbo result would have

ought not to unscole business to any
great extent, although until the Demo
crats show their baud, there will be
more or less -apprehension concerning
the immediate future, especially If Mr.
Cleveland ehould deetn it neccasary to
cail aa extra session of congress niter
March -4. This might be <»a*tru«l into
meaning that the McKinley measure was
to be rcpoaled at once. While tbo peo
ple certainly expect a revision of the tar
iff, 1 do not think thy luteud that any
rit-k or extreme measures should be ta
ken which would bo likely to unsettle
business, and they relied on Mr. Cleve
land's good souse to see that the work
of revuiou should bo gradual rather
than precipitate.
ThertiV.il naturally be some timidity
on the part of capitalists about engaging
in now enterprises, and Mr. Cleveland's
inaugural ^address and first" message to
congress will bo awaited with some
anxiety. If hia line of policy la one of
conoerraciam; aa most people believe,
confidence, which has to some extent
been shaken by the change, will then be
restored. Trade oondklous are hi such
satisfactory shape at the present time
nut our country is bound TO prosper,
unless legislation of an adverse nature
is thrust upon us, and with the great
benefits to be derived from the World's
Fair next year, I feel confident that the
future is one of hopefulnots, and if our
people will only view the situation in
this light, instead of indulging in wild
forebodings, they will do much in
keeping the country’s, affaire in a healthy
state, which in the end must inure to
their benefit. The gold and silver prob
lem seems to be more serious than any
other which this nation will have to
grapple, and unless the monetary con
ference, which la soon to convene nt
Bruxelles, can devise some means
whereby the two metals will be socept-
ed os currency in all the loading coun
tries on an equal footing—which can
oifiy be dons by setting a fixed standard
between the two metals, and each coun
try agreeing to use booh impartially aa
n medium of circulation, k will stand as
a menace, wlileh sooner or later must
be followed by disaster.
In this connection it is interesting to
note for the sake of comparison, the uoh?-
ings of gold and solver, (roughly esLmai-
ed), In the three leading government
banks of Europe. Tbe Bank at England
holds (121,000,000 gold, against $114,-
500,000 last year. The Bank of France
S3;14,!i00.000 gold and $254,000,000 s Iver
against $203,000,000 gold and $240,000,-
000 silver l ist year. The Bank of Ger
many $101,000,000 gold and $04,000,000
silver against $100,000,000 gold and
$50,500,000 silver Inst year. It will be
seen from the forgo.ng that tbe Bank of
England bos increased its gold holdings
$7,000,000 daring the year and the Bank
of France $b0,o5),000, the Bank of Ger
many showing a loss of about $5,000,000.
It it difficult to make a comparison be
tween tho banks on the other side and
the hanks on this for the reason
tint <h* country has jo regular govern
ment hanks, bnt in order to form sn idea
it wi'l be proper to glance at the hold
ings of gold and a'lver in the United
States treasury st the preswat time, ss
compared with one year ago, which are
aa follows:
Gold (including $100,000,000 held In re-
servo for tbo n-demptiou of greenbacks)
8 124,<500,000; hurt year, $127,074,000.
liver. $407,500,000; last y«*r, $408,-
400,000. While the European banka
have been adding to their hoard of gold
we hare allowed ours to diminish $3,-
000,000 ana nave increased our saver
holdings to the extemt of $40,000,000,
and it is only at the expense of ths na
tional banks, which have contributed
$1-1,000,000 of their gold holdings that
tho United States treasury Is able to
make even this showing. The gold ex
port* since January 1 arx-regnte S0!).-
000,000, and ns most of this has been
•applied by the national banks k does
not of nourso show In the treasury bal
ance. These ore facto which sooner or
later must bo mdt face to face, aud yet
tbe silver inou arc not •nU-ui-'l aud are
cryiDg for more silver. The eituatioo Is
bad enough now, but what would it be
wish a free coinage bill passed which
would admit the product* of the world
Into our mints? We would soon be on
n silver basis, while tho other nations
would stick to gold, and a financial panio
iu this country, sooner or liter, would
be inevitable. It ie to be hoped, how
ever that such n dire calamity will bo
averted and (hat the Bruewla confer
ence will be able to arrive at a result
satisfactory to all.
Uf 1‘rot.,lout Harrison's administra
tion, which is now drawing to a close,
nothing but words of praise can be
said. Daring his term of incumbency
hs has had a good many knotty ques
tions to decide, and In handling them be
has proven to the whole world that he
is preeminently the right man in ths
right place. His odmirtialration will
compjre favorably with that of any of
his great predecessors, aud In genera
tions to come the name of Benjamin
Harrison wiS still live as one of the
greatest presidents this country has ever
produced. It seems a pity, with such a
splendid record as be has omde, that
be should now be obliged to step down
and out to mate room for his succes
sor; four years more as chief executive
of the nation could not have failed to
add to tho glory already achieved, and
with such an able vice president ns Mr.
Reid would have made, the second term
of Harrison would have shown even
more brilliantly than the first, and could
not have failed to meet the approval of
all fair-minded citizens, whether Repub
lican. Democrat, PopulDt or Prohibi
tionist. James B. ’Clews.
A ROMAN FEAST.
Enormous Sums Spent to Provlds a
single Dinner.
From Chamber's Journal.
As exemplifying the pitch to which Ro
man oplcurianism was carried, and In
dicative of'a truly barbarous nature, a
,1 a.; consisting of tho og.gucs only uf
some thousands of the favorite song-
stem uf Che air was requisitioned at an
immense cost to satisfy the inordinate
cravings of one of the emperors. One
can hardly avoid (he reflection that such
a be.ug must have been exowdlngly un-
tuneful. Tho liver of oapon stwyied ss
m.lk was thought to be a great delicacy,
and of solid meat, pork appears TO bare
more relished.
The staunch Roman, who did not
take his pleasure homeopath!ually, re
clined tiuriug dinner on a luxur.otu couch
he loud resting on his left elbow, sup-
porn-l by cushions. .Suoronloui draws
attention to n superb apartment, erected
by ah* extravagant Nero, iu whioa his
meals were partaken, constructed Lfce a
theatre, with shifting scenes, changing
with every course.
The amount of money often expended

A WOMAN FOR ATTORNEY-GENERAL.
3Ilst Ella 1,. Knowles Is Hie l.eg.,1 Ad-
vigor of (hi* Mule of Montan*.
Helena. Muo. Nov. 23.—Montana 1ms
at L-^t made Aomeihlag aaw uild^r too
«iuj. It a woman vtijeovy gvoens
n young -woman, jnd a iiretty one at
that. The Fopuli»ta, who have done so
many queer- things, have this peculiar
political iroak .-llso to theif credit.
And y<‘t there Is little doubt Miss
Ella. L. Knowles, who ha* been elected
to the office, will mako an excellent
tornoy General. Sin* is full of brains,
dauntless, self-confident and plucky.
She had two contestants against_“ er ”
Haskell, Republican, and D.iy, Denao-
Caat. She leads them both by 300 vote*.
Unofficial fiffutvs of tho legislature
show: Senate. 10 Democrat*, 5 Repub
lican*, 1 in doubt: house, ‘Jo Democrats,
23 Republicans, 4 People'* party, e®d
.3 in doubt One of the Populist* wai
indorsed by Democrat*, and is pledged
to vote for a Democratic United btates
»onator. Tbe vote in doubtful districts,
so dose that it wJl take the official
couni to decide. Giving the Republ can*
all four, the Democrat* will still bnjt •
majority of one on the Joint ballot, rms
Insure* the selection of a Democrat to
succeed Sanders, Republican, in the
United States senate. _
Enough returns are in to show a He-
pulblicen majority on tho preaidental
ticket, congreesmen and all the tfa**
Hcket, except attorney general and
Rlake for chief justice of die supreme
court, who was beaten by Pemberton,
Democrat and Populist.
Mi** Ella T. Knowles, attorney gen-
eral-elert of Montana, was born 28 year*
ago in Nortbwood. S. IL She is a grad
uate of Bates* College in Lewiston, Me..
*ud ha* taken the degree of master of
art* ftrom that Institution. Her legal
studies wero prosecuted in tbe law office
of Burnham & Brown, in^ Manchester,
N. H.. and later hi Helena. Mon. There
was considerable prejudice against al
lowing her to practice.
So the pluccy young woman went to
work to influence the legislature—it wa»
the Territorial legislature of 1888-89—
to pass a bill admitting women
to practice law. Western chivalry could
not withstand her. and the bill was
passed. In December, 1890, she was ad
mitted to the bar, and now *he has a
nractice of which many men would be
proud, to say nothing of her prospects
politically.
Miss Knowles is described in being reiy
womanly in appearance. She is tbe only
woman lawyer in the state, bnt even in
to her profession she carries the gentler
virtue*. She ht* all a woman's keen
sensibllitac* and trader sympathies, and
all the roughness of Western life with
which she has come in contact has not
impaired these qualities. In appearance
she is more like a demure young matron
than a stern Portia. She is of medium
height, neither thin nor stout, ha* a
face which, while* strong and firm, is
also pretty. She believes in tier right to
practice law and to be paid for her legal
services, and she believed in her right
to be attorney general of Montana : J
she could get enough votes. The Peo
ple’s party liked her spirit, and when it
came to make np & ticket last July it
gave her the nomination. She conducted
a spirited campaign and all tho credit of
her victory belong* to herself.
HOW TO MEET It7 v
Catching* Pave* the W»if to Raise the
Revenue*.
Washington, Nov. 23.—Mr. Catch-
Inca, a leading member of the house
committee on rules, is now in Wash
ington, and is quoted In an Interview
us expressing bis belief that tbo pres
ent congress will do nothing to lessen
the burdens of the Incoming adminis
tration and that the new congress will
be compelled to toko necessary steps
to Increase the revenues. He does not
believe that a revision of tho tariff can
be successfully undertaken during a
special session, but ho does hold tbit
In n special session the new congn--s
might properly repeal the McKinley
act, thus restoring tho old duties of
1SSS. That would wipe out KH
bounties, effecting a saving of $13,000,-
000 annually nail at same time by re
storing sugar duties add about $60,000,-
000 to tho annual revenues, making a
total Increase of revenues approximate
$05,000,000. This Increase, be feels,
would prevent any deficiency till after
tho next regular session aud powlb.y
for a longer period.
Cntchlngs would also pass the sep
arate tariff bills that wero passed last
session by tho house, lie would also
add lumber aud suit to tho free list
The reduced prices of tbe necctianes
of life covered by tho bills would, ac
cording to bis reasoning, reconcile the
people to tho relmposttlon of sugar du
ties. Ho favors an early special ses
sion of congress. He thinks that Crisp
will bo re-elected speaker without a
protracted straggle utul believes that
tho pension roll could bo revised with
profit. Cntchlngs sein no danger of wild
cat money In the passage of a bill to
removo tax on state bank circulation
and favors that bill If tbo states aro
obliged to insure tbe soundness of
their bank Issues. Ho also favors tho
.admission as states of Arizona and
New Mexico, nnd local government for
Utah and Oklahoma. 8o far as this
congress Is ooncemed, ho thought it
would no more than pass tho regular
uuuual appropriation bills.

MARYLAND DEMOCRATS.
A Big Jubilee Over Oleveland** Grent
Victory.
Baltimore, Nov. 23.—The series of
meetings of rejo.clng that the Demo
crats have been indulging in since the
election of Cleveland were brought to
a close last night by a grand jublee in
aty. The booming of cannon and
the explosion of fire work, brought out
ffie triumphant boats, and 5,000 of the
• tetora were soon packed Into i-he ah;.
■>e4 eyelorama building. A chilly at-
motphero gent home nearly all who
could not get Inside, and tihe “overflow
meeting," which had been provided for

toe Democratic national committee came
from Harrisburg, and was grwted with
round after round of applause. and
"Hail to the Chief” from the hand. No
message was received from Mr. Cleveland.
Tbc aenior senator," as the Democra
cy of Maryland usually describe Mr.
Gorman, was not present but tbe men
tion of the name of each was greeted
w.th ringing cheers. The pvople wire
out for rejoicing—they did not gather to
hear speeches, and the crowd melted away
in the preeence of the orators.

New York, Nor. 23.—A few weeks
ago the authorities on EUla island were
notified that a man named William No
de, who had been released from prison
in Dublin, Ireland, where he had been
serving a twenty years' sentence, woe on
bit way to this country to join his moth
er and sister who reside in Pennsylva
nia. Under the law no eonvint is per
mitted to land here. A strict watch
was kept for him and when the Guion
line steamship Arisons arrived Tuesday
he was found on the list of second cabiu
passengers. It turns out now that Na
gle Is not by any means an ordinary con
vict, aud he has put in a claim that be
is entitled to land in America inasmuch
ss he comes under the head of what is
known as “political prisoner.” People
familiar with Iriuh history will readily
recall the murder of Lord Cavendish in
Phoenix park of Dublin in 1883. For
that murder five men were hanged aud
many others sentenced to long terms of
Imprisonment on tho ground of com
plicity. Many whose seal In behalf of
the Irish csiiac made them prominent
were arrested, tried Mid thrown into
prison to serve out sentences. v,g) e
was one of those arrested and waa sen
tenced to twenty years of hard labor In
a Dublin prison. Recently strong ef
fort. have been made to obtain a par
don of the men who wore sentenced and
Nagle waa the firet man to recnivo par
don from the English government upon
oondition that he leave Ireland for
America, only to find upon his arrival
here fresh troubles before him. If he ia
liermanently barred from landing here
and forced to return to England or Ire
land he will bo thrown Into prison to
serve the remainder of his long sentence.
A strong fight will be made in bis be
half to have him landed. In care Nagle
Is barred by tbe immigration authorities
bis caae will be carried up to the highest
tribunal of the country.
