TOM REED'S TURN.
THE XEWLY ELECTED CONGRESS
HE SILt PRESIDE OVER.
WHAT CAUSED THE LANDSLIDE.
A General Summary of thw Result of Tucu
<la>*• Fl<eti»n-Whit was IheCMW of
It Any WRJ?-lt i* All One Way.
It is a veritable political cyclone which
ba« swept over tae land. Everything has
gone republican. The democratic majority
of ninety in the house of representatives
has been shattered and there will be few
democrats except from the south in the
next congress. Many of the stately oaks
of the democratic forest have fallen in the
path of the storm. Little fellows have
been, swept ruthlessly aside everywhere.
The great army of democratic congress
men has been decimated. It is now but a
small company.
The populists have been swept from the
face of the earth. They get but few rep
resentatives from the south, and so few
from the west that they can be counted
upon the fingers of one hand. Jerry Simp
sou and Davis and all their leaders hate
succumbed to the republican tidal wave
Which has swept over the land and destroy
ed all other political patties in its path.
It has been mare destructive to the de
mocracy than was the democratic wave
which followed the Reed congress and the
McKinley taruo law to the republican
party.
But this overwhelming overthrow of the
democratic party is oniy another instance
of tne truth of the assertion that no party
can go to the country in defense of a given
tar.it law and succeed, in tne history of
this country’ no i<urty in power has ever
passed a tariff law without being removed
from power by the people at the next elec
tion. it is an unbrokeM rule. V» hen the
democratic house passed the Mills bill the
people elected a repub-tCan house al the
succeeding election. tv hen that repub
lican passed the McKinley bill tno
people swept it aside. 'Tne overthrow ot
tne republicans then was almost as com
plete as the uemocratic overthrow of Tues
day.
At that time the people of McKinley’s
district in Ohio, detested him for congress
because of h>s extiemdy hi„.i tariff views
as incorporated in the bill a inch bore his
name. 'lnis time the people ol Wneon’s
district, ui V» e»t \ irgiuio, removed him
from com.ress because of tae low tut lit
views wiuca were i u corpora led iu his In.l.

And wnat does it all mem? Not that the
country is eppuaed to lo .at tariff senedu er
than have been in existence. Bat that no
m. n n<-r party can draft a full and cem
plete tariii bill which the people of the
country will accept. They wilt tin i more
unsatisfactory features m it than satisfac
tory ones.
But while tariff bills have always led to
tne defeat of the winch drafted them
-wink- it is a ruie without exception—inis
great npubl.-nn cyr.one which lias sw.pt
over tne land is due to many causes. Ev
ery political student will assign a cause.
As a matter of tact, there are many. Tav
chief one is perhaps tne lack of harmony
which has existed within the democratic
party. In control of every branch of tne
g .eminent, the «i» ni cratic executive and
legis.ative bram hes have been constantly
at war. Mr. Cleveland has modestly at
tempted to le both, tie has net only run
the e.-.« eut.ve branch, but has attempted
to dictate to cccgress. Congress iiav.ng
rebel.ed the. ruptme b-.eam. so great that
th* people of the country b. came some
what disgusted with the bickering—e.,pe
t .ady that between the pr side nt and tne
m note.
However that may have been, every one
admits t. at the re-'»nt a-'ts of Mr Ci-, ve
land had much to do witn the landslide, in
stead of aiding his party in Tuesday’s elec
tion ;n his own state of New York, h.s re
fusal to sp> ak out in favor of the ileino

so, as a desire on his part to see the n de

raised his hand er voice to save the party,

of ihe failed States, from de.eat.

THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION: ATLANTA GA, MONDAY.NOVEMBER 12.1R94.
tn congress. Here is the way the very
latest returns show the result:
New York, from which two cabinet officers
hail, and which has nineteen democrats in
this congress, send but six democrats to
the next.
Nebraska sends five republicans and one
populist.
Georgia holds her own, but in Alabama
we lose one democrat.
Michigan from which Don Dickenson, ex
cabinet officer and political adviser comes,
and wherein Private Secretary Thurber was
discovered, sends a solid republican dele
gation ot twelve to the next congress. And
so it goes. Indeed, everything seems to
have gone down in the landslide.
The house of representatives is not only
republican, but the next senate will be
republican. We lose a senator in New Jer
sey, one In West Virginia and one in Kan
sas sure. This will cost the democrats the
senate. Besides these it looks like the fu
sionists have the North Carolina legislature
which will mean the election of two sena
tors. Ransom’s term expires March 4th and
the legislature must elect a successor to
Jarvis, who holds by appointment of the
governor. Thus we may lose both if it be
that the fusionists have the legislature.
There is some doubt of this, however. But
there is no doubt of the fact that the dem
ocrats have lost the senate.
The most surprising defeats of all are
those of Bland, in Missouri, Holman, in
Indiana, Springer, In Illinois, and Amos
Cummings in New 1 ork. Each
one of these men were supposed to have a
life tenure on their seats in congress; but
everything went and they went with it.
Speaker Crisp and General Catchings are
about the only remaining ones of tne demo
cratic managers and leaders in the house,
with but a hundred democratic followers
they will not be able to accomplish much
against the vast republican army.
Ot course, Tom Reed will be speaker ot
the next house and Julius Caesar Burrows
will be chairman of the ways and means
committee. Jo- Cameron wi.i go back as
chairman of the appropriations committee,
where he was in the Reed congress.
Mr. Cleveland complained of having con
gress on his hands last year. When a re
publican house and republican senate be
gin deluging him with bills and Ignore his
messages, he wid truly have a congress
on his hands.
But in the language of Senator Joe Brown
on a notable occas’on, ’’the young man
brought it all upon himself.” E. W. B.

Editor Constitution: The people have

The democratic party, by a vote of 3 to
1, has declared its less of faitli in him.
A decent respect for the people of the
country, and for the party which has thus
withdrawn its confidence from h.m, should
induce President Cleveland to surrender
the charge thus ilemanded back by Ihe
people, and give it to that rock-ribbed demo
crat, Adlaj Stevenson.
It is admitted that the vote of the people,
in the selection of a preside.it, should con
tinue for the constitutional four years.
'I hat vote, however, is tor the benefit of the
party entrusted with power, an i not tor
the advantage of more |»er.-onalisin any

Things Did it.
Bloomington. 111., November 7.—Hon. Adial
E. Stevenson, vice president, spent today
quietly in the sc 'lusion of the home of his
brother. .John, melitating upon the political
events <»f yesterday, and preparing to at
tend the welding of a nephew, which takes
place tonight, it was a dreary day. with
leaden skies and a cold drizzling rain. Mr.
Stevenson, when ask?d to state h.s opinion
U 3 to the causes leading up to the demo
cratic defeat of yesterday, said:
”My opinion can be briefly stated. The
result is due in part to the financial de
pression which came upon the country sun
after the inauguration of Mr. Cleveland.
While the democrats were in no way re
spoii.-ibie for this, they were made the
scapegoats It was also in part due to the
delay ol congress in passing the :ariiT bill.
Had the but become a law ninety days
earlier than it did, it Is quite probable
that the business conditions of the country
would have so adjusted themselves that the
political result would have been different.”
Mr. Stevenson will depart from Blooming
ton this week for Asheville, N. C., where
he will join his family, who are sojourning
there. He will remain in the south three
weeks, going thence to Washington.

Honda—Other New*.
Washington, November 6.—Work prelim
inary to carrying into effect the new in
come tax law is going forward as rapidly
as its nature will permit, under the direc
tion of Mr William H. Pugh, who, in Oc
tober last, was appointed superintendent
of the income tax. A number of compli
cated and interesting questions having
arisen under former laws, and anticipat
ing that questions will arise in ihe future
of equal importance, it is essential for
their solution to understand what has been
the former legislation of congress, the de
cisions of the courts and the rulings of the
department on the subject of the income
tax. With this in view, Mr. Pugh has
been occupied since his appointment in ex
amining and preparing a digest of the
court decisions and the department rulings
curtailed under their respective headings.
He has also prepared a comparison of all
the former laws upon the income tax, ar
ranged so that all the provisions hen m>-
fore made u;>on the same subject shall ap
pear propeny grouped, and any one at a
single glance can see the various changes
and modifications that have taken place.
There have been several acts upon the
subject of income tax. The first was pajsed
August 5, 18G1. Under tins act, however,
nothing was done. The act failed to pro
vide many provisions contained in the sub
sequent legislation, both as to the subjects
of taxation and methods of collection.
Tiiese were provided for in subsequent
acts. The second act was passed July 1,
1812; the third act June 3U, 1884; the fourth
act Moreii 3, 1885; the fifth act March 2,
18t>7. enuer the first act SBOO was the
amount reserved from taxation and the
rate of tax was o per cent on all sums
over that amount. Under the act of July
1, 1862, the amount reserved from tax was
as follows: If the income exceeded SGOO,
and did not exceed SIO,OOO, a duty of 3 per
cent on the amount above sro*>; if said in
come exceeded the sum of $10,030 a duty of
5 per cent on the amount exceeding s'>“).
Under tile third act S6OO was ex> mpled,
and the duty was 6 per cent on excess;
under the fourth and fifth acts sl,ouo was
fr e fro u taxation and lite amount of tax
was 5 per cent on excess of that sum.

Washington, Novemht r 9.—Treasury of

Washington. November 10.—(Special.)
The recent election will have an import
ant bearing upon congressional apportion
ment of ihe states that were captured
from the democrats by the republicans.
The result wifi be an entire reversal of the
present order of things and will enable the
republicans to entrench themselves again
iu power in several states. At present
there ar- twenty-four states that have
been apportioned by I ■tnocrats, twelve ap
portioned by republicans and eight that
have never been apportion d at all. The
twelve states tipi»ortioli»’d under republican
direction are Colorado, lowa, Kansas,
.Maim, Minnesota. New Hampshire, Ohio,
Oregon, I’ennsylvania, Rhod- Island, Ver
mont and. quite recently. New Jersey.
In the slump of 1890 the republicans lost
and the democrats Califor
nia, Connecticut, Illinois, Massacliusetis,
Michigan, Nebraska. New York and Wis
consin. By so doing they gathered in
from these eight st t> s fifty-three members
of congress. The -lection of Tuesday last
gave the democrats from tne same states
but seven members. in addition to secur
ing what they hail previously lost, the re
publicans w-te also successful in electing
legislatures in Indiana and West Virginia,
which will enable them to make such ap
portionments in those states as seems Itest

North Carolina the apportionment will also
be under control of the fusionists. This
will change the present figures there, so
that the democrats will have charge of the
apportionment in thirteen states, the re

one. The small states of Delaware, Ida

WHAT CAKES HE.
Th® President All Oblivious to the Great
Slump in the l*urty,
Washington, November 7.—(Special.)—
One of the weariest looking men in the na
tional capital today is Thurber, President
Cleveland’s private secretary. Thurber said
lie could only account for the watery con
dition of his eyes because he had lingered
at the white house until past the hour of
midnight reading the election bulletins to
two or three members of the cabinet. The
president was not at the white house dur
ing the night. He was at Woodley inn. The
Constitution’s correspondent asked Mr.
Thurber if the president would be in to
day. He responded: “The president deter
mined yesterday to spend this day in writ
ing his message.”
"A message to Hill." I asked.
“Hill, hell,” he said.
“Will the president then give out any
thing regarding the election of yesterday?”
"I don’t want to be profane,” said Mr.
Thurber, “but what in the devil is there to
be said?”
It is safe to say that Cleveland himself is
today one of the most surprised men in
Washington.
He expected the defeat of Hill. He did
everything in his power to encompass that
defeat. At no time since Hill’s nomination
has he had the slightest intention of as
sisting him. One would nave thought that
the president of the United States ha 1
enough interest in the battle in which his
party was engaged to remain at the white
house to get tne freshest news from the
seat of war. Not so with Grover Cleveland.
Returns up to the present tune indicate’
that the populists will have control of the
senate, the democrats having lost New Jer
sey, West Virginia. Tennessee and possibly
North Carolina, thereby leaving them with
only 41 votes. Forty-live wdl be a majority,
as the republicans will lose neither Illinois
nor Delaware, and they may secure the nee
essary majority. But it’s more than proba
ble that the populists will hold the balance
of power.
The movement to prevent adulteration
and stcurc better food w.ll be promoted by
tile rejection of alum and ammonia baking
powders by tile world’s fair jury and phy
sicians generally. Dr. Price’s Baking Pow
der is unadulterated.
OIAEY MAY RESIGN.
The RespotiMibilitiea of the Position
Yt earing Him Out.
Washington, November 9. —Attorney Gen
eral Olney, in conversation with friends
during viie past few months, has expressed
himself as anxious to return to private life,
stating that th. drudgery and responsibili
ties of the position are wearing him out.
His private law practice, it is said, is even
now worth from $30,000 to $40,000 a year, and
would be largely increased if he were free
from official trammels.
It is also asserted that Mr. Olney, when
he accepted the office of attorney general
which i.<‘ did with reluctance, made a con
dition that he might resign before the ex
p'.ration of his term if he found the duties
.e tas', fill. That time, it is said, is near at
iiand. -Mr. Olney’s relations with the presi
dent are of the closest character, and hi
intimate friends believe that he has re
mained in the cabinet thus far at the presi
dent’s solicitation.
in tlie event of Attorney General Olney
tendering his resignation, the possibility is
suggest <1 tin t William 1.. Wilson might be
t< ti'icrtd i seat in the cabinet. This, how
ever, is a matter upon which no intima
tion has been had directly or indirect!!

THE LATE ELECTIONS.
How They Are Viewed by the Preaa
of the Country.
New York Recorder, rep.: It is settled,
in short, that the republican party will
have the in-ide track on the presidential
race course in 18:6.
New York Times, mugwump: The demo
cr ts have l)A!t punished because the policy
of the party has not been f'irly carried
out, but lias been dwarfed, bungled, and
betrayed by a p rtion of the elected repre
sentatives of the people.
New York Press, rep.: Mr. Cleveland’s
duck hunt was a gieat success. His blun
i i.uss d I effective w rk. Tre country to
day is full of democrr.tle d-ad ducks, and
tiie man in the wh.te liou-'c brought a good
many oi' them down himself.
St. Louis Republic, .loin.: For 1898 we
must understand that New York will settb
its own quarrels and wash its own linen
It is the west that naturally belongs to us
and tiiat we mmt have. The motto for the
neat great campaign is: A western man or
bust.
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, rep.:
What does the country think of a political
party that, under the guise of tariff re
form, paralyztd business and started to in
ert e the public debt nt the rate of a hun
dred millions a year? You can read the an
swer in the election returns this morning.
Now Orleans Times-Democrat, dem.: First
ar.d fin st important of all, its was panic
year. Business is depr-ssed, trade dull,
prices low Everybody feels th-* hard times,
and a large proportion of the people are dis
posed to hold the party in power responsi
ble for it, or at least responsible for not
giving them relief.
New York Herald, ind.: Remembering
Governor Flower’s majority two years ago.
it will not be wise for the republican mana
gers to imagine that they have been given
a free hand for partisan purposes. The
same elec<ors who "turned down’’ the dem
ocrats ycstef.lay will repudiate the republi
cans two years lienee if they deserve it.
Baltimore Sun, dem.: The moral of yes
fer'ay's election, as far as the general con
gressional contests are concerned, is that
ro party is strong enough to be able to
trifle with the peopl; w.th impunity. It
may be sure that its sin will find it out,
that popular punishment wiil follow hard
upon party perfidy and disobedience.
Wilmington Mes.-eager, dem.: The elec
tion is over. It Is a good time to do some
plain talking. Henceforth it is the duty of
tiie democratic party to take tare of itself
and to make Itg next tight on the line of
a white rr./in's government. Tt is use'e ss to
try to co'ieiiUte or draw the negroes by
a<-ts of kindness or by appropriations of
the public rncneys for (heir benefit
New York Advertiser, rep.: Finally, the
victory meins that from the lakes to the
gulf and from tiie Atlantic to the Paclfl •
we •dmu’d give thanks for the downfall of
the democratic party and all It stands for,
and the triumph of protection, law. order,
good government ami all that in k»s for the
glory of the nation. The democratic party
1> ndeed dead. And it cannot be born
again. “Praise God from whom all bless
ings flow!"
Philadelphia American, rep.: Tiie victory
of yesterday, sweeping, far-reaching and
comprehensive, was an American triumph!
It was the reassert!? ti in emphatic tones of
the American devotion to American fre?
schools, to tin American free ballot. t > on-»,
and only one, American flag to float over
American posse sions, and to tiie American
doctrine of givin.; American wages to
American workingmen!

Encouraging Exposition New*.
Honduras will be represented at the At
lanta exposition in most becoming st> e.
Last Tuesday President Oohier received a
letter from Woodford M. Davis, United
States representative in Honduras, in w-a t
every encouragement was given tie
project. The letter is exceedingly inter
esting as throwing light upon the grea
purpose of the exposition. It makes in
teresting reading, and is given in Ddl.
“President Collier, Cotton States and In
ternational Exposition Company, Atlanta.
Ga.—My Dear Sir: L have just returned
from my trip to the republic of Honduras
in the three weeks’ visit which was prin
cipally devoted to company affairs. 1
spread the information generally regarding
the Atlanta exposition and a great interes
is manifested, and I am confident that
Honduras will be well represented, bom
as an exhibitor, and in number of visitors.
The purpose of the exposition, that to en
courage closer relations between the soul i
ern states and Central and South America
touches a responsive chord in these t’oun
tries. The sympathy of these au ‘‘
countries are witii tiie United States. lam
satisfied everything being equal the trade
of all these countries would be large.>
in our favor instead of against us, as a.
present. We have the advantage of loca
tion The trade of Mexico, Guatemala,
Honduras, Salvador. Nicaragua, Costa
Rica, Colombia, etc, must virtually pa»
our doors to find foreign mark is. me
southern states can secure a large percen
tage of this trade and the exposition win
be beyond question an important 111
opening up and development ol cordial bus
iness relations between this section and the
southern markets
“New Orleans controlled a certain amount
of trade from Central and South Amer
ica in certain lines of goods, owing to tne
steamship connections; the same main
tained by fruit, coffee, mahogany timber
and cordage trade. New torn, however,
has always secured a larger proportion.
Os very recent years a disposition has been
manifested by New Orleans to secure a
larger portion.
“Mobile has also awakened to the tact
that she is entitled to a portion of this
trade and during the past two years has
managed to inliuence tiie fruit trade to es
tablish at Mobile, and now an average m
live steamers per week each unloadat
Mobile and distribute from here LD.OOU
bunches of fruit, beyond the mere handling
of these cargoes and the coaimg and stores
for these steamers, etc. Mobile is re
ceiving direct orders for large quantities
of cotton goods, boots, shoes, hour, hard
ware, agricultural implements, tobacco,
etc., from merchants in Central America,
who never b«-iore placed an order here. On
my return from Honduras I brought back
from a large firm in Honduras an order for
prints and domestics lor un amount of
about JI.iMKJ, and the parties are more
man satisfied and the head of the firm is
coming to Mobile by the next steamer
to pdi-chase his new goods. He has always
lavored New York. Many persons spoken
to were much pl< a“ed to hear of the ex
position and to ki.ow that it was really to
ue a big affair and international in char
acter. Owing to revolutionary troubles in
Honduras last year (which 1 am happy to
say have pass, d away ami a period of
peace is assured under tiie wise administra
tion of President Bonniiia) and tiie rigid
quarantine restrict; ns in the southern
ports, but very few Hondur an, Guatemal
an and were fortunate enough to see Die
world’s fair. Now the country is prosper
ous. The Atlanta vxjHisilion. commencing
in September, vviii give all these people a
chance to visit Atlanta as quarantine will
be raised not later than November Ist.
“And right here 1 propose to make a
suggestion. 1 am thoroughly familiar
with Honduras and other <' ntral Am• ri
can states and J have yet io know ol a
ease of real yellow fever. I have lived
on the coast and am now engaged in the
fruit-growing business for eighteen months
straight away. I have lived on tiie Span
ish main and never experienced a uay s
sickness, and 1 know dozens of other
Americans with the same experience. Con
sidering the t’rigntful epidemics of yellow
fever, which amVesi depopulates ,-otne
southern cities, a quarantine regulation is
right, but 1 know present restrictions are
too severe, and it is against the south in
favor of New York, Central American mer
chants say. We shotnd quarantine against
New Orleans and Mobile instead of these
cities against us. We have no sickness,
ami never have nad an epidemic of fever.
Tiiey can but say we ol the states are
foolish, too exacting, etc. Why not modi
fy to compare with New York? It a
steamer clears from Honduras ami the
United States consul issues a char bill of
health let such steamer bring passengers.
When she reaches quarantine, if quarantine
physicians find all wdl, let her discharge,
ami instead from May until November no
passenger can reach a southern port. 1.
merchants do wish to come to the states
they must take New Y’ork steamer, and
tiiey do and N< w York profits by it. A
modification of quarantme regulations is
necessary and tiiese southern people say
if you of the United States want our busi
ness treat us with a show of fairness; don't
ask us lor our busin. ss ami then put a
bar across your doors lor six months in
the year.
“It may not be possible to secure much of
a change at once, but you should endeavor
to bring influence to bear so as to have
quarantine declared off at Mobile ami Sa
vannah and New Orleans, October Ist, in
1895, instead of November 15th. If you can
secure this you will receive the thanks of
Central Americans and a large number of
early visitors.
“Beyond talking to merchants generally
I arranged to have tiie matter prop rly
submitted to President Bonnilla ami his
congress, and to address you fully 1 will
explain Senor Den Jose M. Aquirre, ex-sec
r. tary or the interior of Honduras, is my
personal friend ami is the attorney of tiie
tmrenard-Honduras Fruit Company, ot
which 1 am secretary. Senor Aquirre is
to represent our company in the capital
during the present congress, remains there
fur some ten weeks. He wi.i present the
Atlanta proposition and do what is requir
ed in the matter, as no one else could. He
is a native, of excellent family, a distin
guished lawyer, and is called tne ’lngersoll
of Honduras.’
“You n ay rest secure in the belief that
you are well represented in Honduras,
and will have, you may say, continuous
representation.
“I shall be in Honduras more or less
time between now ami next September, ami
1 assure you I shall be only too glad to do
what 1 can to promote your interest.
“I enclose a copy of the letter 1 sent
to President Bonnilla. at the hands of lion

Every week brings some new proof that
Mexico will be splendidly represented at
Atlanta’s great exposition. 5 esterday a
letter was received by President Collier

it was stated that a letter had been re

Denver, Col.. November 9.—The s I ver men
of Colorado and other mining st at • s are

form a silver party, tv e have no nop- from
tne successful party in congress.”
“Do you ihiiiK Cameron would run as an

The fusionists today put in the field a

The ticket is in direct opposition to the one
