Now for Ohio, Iowa and Massachusetts. Indianapolis has set the pace.

THREE thousand Republican majority in a Democratic city is not bad to take.

CALEB S. DENNY carried a rabbit's foot. A pointer for candidates in the future.

THE Secretary of the Treasury estimates that it will cost $10,335,000 to deport the unregistered Chinese.

Two BIO days came in succession. First was Chicago Day, followed by Indianapolis Day. McKinley Day will come in November.

MARIETTA College for women opened with an enrollment of sixty-five. Wabash College for women opens with an enrollment of 000,000.

REPUBLICANS are in smiles from crown to foot over the newB from the Capital City, which is now spelled with two cap C's.

PHYSICAL exercise is now compulsory at Marietta College. This is too much like sawing wood and the students Jwill probably rebel against it.

THE Republicans of Indianapolis have shown to the R?publicans ot other portions of the State what they can do when they Bet about to do it in the right way.

THE people of Indianapolis were against the combined forces of the railways, street railways, gas companies, electric light companies, water works companies, contractors, the saloon element, the gambling fraternity, Sim Coy, Tom Taggart and the Indianapolis Sentinel. It was a famous victory.

DEMOCRATS at Indianapolis say they had too many wagons in which to haul voters to the polls. One philosophic Democrat over there said if his party had had forty more wagons Denny's majority would have been 10,000. He said that Democratic wagons couldn't haul Republican voters to the polls fast enough.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND SBJ s: "I want a currency that is stable and safe in the hands of the people." Then why not •lit the currency alone? No people ever before had a more "stable currency."

The Chicago Inter'tOcean pertinently asks why should the President seek to carry out the wild, visionary financial schemes of Watterson, Neal & Co., made at the Chicago wigwam in 1892? The fear that he and his party will carry out wild schemes has already robbed the nation of hundreds of millions of value, and it has only begun its mischief.

MURAT HALSTEAD says jthrit tLe Democratic pressure for the repeal of the Federal election bill is a part of the crusade the rulers of the party carry on against Nationality. The bill is of no sort of importance one way or another to the Southern States except as to remote contests between Democrats and Populists. They nullify what law there is now, and are looking far into the fu ture. In the North the Democrat naturally feels, when he is intelligent, that between the political white saps of the South and the Tammany

and tribe

and the subsidiary bosses he is owned, and that the less his machine for counting

interfered with, the greater his

facility for his share of spoil. The Fed eral election law is applicable to the cities, and it is in their corruption that Democratic fraud takes deepest root and putB forth the greenest shade. In the South the towns are the Democratic strongholds and in Georgia and Alabama particularly it is feared by the Democracy that the Populists may prove dangerous in the country and the Populists in the larger cities must not have the use of machinery such

Federal law supplies, when handled by white men, to reduce the plethora and impair the supremacy of Democratic fraud.

THE HAWAIIAN SITUATION-To-day's Washington dispatches are to the effect that Paramount Commissioner Blount's recommendations concerning annexation of the Sandwich Islands are that no action shall be taken by the United States. It is said the report recommends that all questions involved in the annexation and establishment of a protectorate should be submitted to a vote of all the natives as well as the foreigners. Miss Mary H. Krout, who is on the editorial staff of the Chicago Inter-Ocean, has had intimations for some days as to the character of the report of Mr. Blount and yesterday that paper contained the following editorial from her pen:

The attitude of the administration toward Hawaii is discourteous and unpardonable. For the past seven months the people have been kept in suspense. Ignorant as to tlieir future fate, and, because of this, uncertain as to their actual present position.

The arbitrary course that Mr. Cleveland lias pursued in the matter i6 quite in keening with his action in sending to Hawaii a commissioner whom ho, individually, endowed with powers and prerogatives not recognized by the constitution of the United States, a man illetjuipDed, intellectually mid politically, for the grave duty assigned him.

It is difficult to make the President or his Cabinet, or even the people ol' the United States, comprehend the real gravity ol'the Hawaiian situation, that country being so far removed from our own. The assurance on the part of the Secretary of State that, pending present negotiations, he will permit no interference onjthe part of foreign powers, is about as applicable to the case as if he were to Issue a proclamation to maintain order amontr the inhabitants of Mars.

There is no conlllct,present or contemplated, between the inhabitants and foreign powers. The question at issue is between the annexationists and royalists between the white residents of the islands, regardless or their nationality, and the adherents of Queen Llliaukolani, who haye proved themselves to be corrupt, self-seeking, and dangerous.

The provisional government has maintained itself nobly. It has given an illustration of self-sacrifice and pure patriotism tt'at has not been surpassed in the history of any people contending for liberty and good government. But as time progresses the enemies of law and order, instigated by the.deposed queen, will make a desperate effort to regain their lost ground. It is inevitable and in that final conflict life and property which were saved by the timely intervention of the United States minister, John T. Stevens, last January, will be ruthlessly sacrificed. This is no idle prophecy. It is an inevitable result. Does the administration feel prepared to shoulder such a terri-, ble responsibility, the destruction of the homes and of the lives of people whom it has refused to protect, and whose righteous cause it fafled to support?

Moreover, in the cosmopolitan population ol' the islands there arc English, German, French, Portuguese, Chinese and Japanese subjects. In the virtual protectorate which the United States has established, and in which the administration has given notice it will brook no interference, the government makes itself responsible for the life and safety ol' all these people. In the event of another insurrection, in whioh they must suffer with the Americans, does the United States stand ready to meet the heavy claims for indemnity that will be presented, and to abide by the decisions of expensive boards of arbitration which the international complications destined to arise will necessitate? Once again, it is a condition and not a theory which confronts the President and hisjparty.

The torces of royalty are already being secretly massed under the competant leader ship of Mr. Claus Spreckels and Mr. Theodore Davies. Mr. Spreckles is striking one blow for the ex-queen and ten for himself—looking to the perpetuation of the contract labor, system which has made him a millionaire, as will result in case annexation is a failure. Mr. Davies. the guardian of the heir apparent, the Princess Kaiulani, who is now in England, is inspired by motives in no degree less disinterested than those of Mr. Spreckels. Mr. Davies is the representative of the Canadian Pacific railway, which, since the revolution of last January, has established a line of steamers connecting its termlous with tlie islands. Mr. Davies is ultra-English. His investments are chiefly in Hawaiian property, but he resides in England, returning when there is some political game on the tapis in which he hopes to play a winning hand. This lias been his coutse in the pa6t always, and with greater advan t.iges to be gained now and in the future, if his plans materialize, there is nolreason to believe that he has undergone a change of heart.

The appointment of Mr. Ell's Mills as consul general was another act that must ne construed as unfriendliness ou the part of the administration. Mr. Mills was Mr. Blount's secretary, a man of no especial force of mind or character. While in Honolulu lie made himself peculiarly ollensive to the best element there by his open and avowed preference for the society of the most aggressive royalists and half-castes, and for the allurements of the lanan and the hula dance,

T.ie immediate xecall ol' Mr. Mills, and some slight intimation of good-will and the desire to treat them fairly and justly, would go far toward reassuring a people who, through no fault of their own, are in a most painful and perilous position. Let Mr. Cleveland clearly understand that delay and silence mean nothing less than renewed conspiracy, ultimate rapine and bloodshed.

THE Frankfort News is nothing if not poetical in its description of the disease breeding odors that infest the Gem City. Instead of quoting from Coleridge in his description of Cologne, "I counted two and seventy stenches,

All well defined, and several stinks It goes one better and leaves the great English poet in the shade, thus:

THE FIRST GUN.

The first gun of the next political campaign was fired Tuesday at Icdiacapolis and the reverberations have a Republican sound. A Democratic majority two years ago waa turned into a Republican landslide, and the Democratic ticket was buried underour avalanche of ballots. The pendulum of the political clock which swung to the limits of its tension last year has started on its return course, and the election at Indianapolis, the first of a series that will be held this fall, indicates the trend of public opinion. Local questions may have cut eome figure but they were not the only issues. The people are becoming tired with the experiment of Democratic rule, and the unrest and the dissatisfaction which prevail all ov«r the country hau a more or less influence in causing yesterday's tidal wave. The worst elements of the Democracy are in control not only in municipal, but in State and National affairs. Coyism rules Democratic cities, Altgeldism and Maynardism rule Democratic States, while Van Alenism, Hoke Smithism and Dan Yoorheesism control National affairs. Under this kind of a policy the people are becoming restive. The Indianapolis landslide is but the beginning of the "overwhelming flood" whioh the Review predicted last Saturday. The "tide" is against the Democracy "to some extent."

THE bill to revoke two amendments of the constitution, by repealing the acts providing for their enforcement, have passed the House by a strict party vote. These laws were passed for the purpose of protecting the integrity of the ballot box and securing an honest expression of the popular will. It is not true, as the Democrats assert, that they authorize the employment of military force. They provide for the appointment of supervisors of elections representing both parties by the United States Circuit Judges upon petition of ten reputable citizens. These supervisors may challenge voters, inspect the count of ballots, and make arrests for disturbances of the peace. This can be done only at elections where Federal officers are voted for. They are to be repealed not because they signify bayonet rule, but because they stand in the way of election frauds in the north such aB New York, Chicago, Cincinnati and Philadelphia. ThiB is the plain truth about the whole matter.

NEW YORK Press:—Honest elections are the only basis of republican governmont, the only security for human freedom, the only safeguard against the fatal corruption and the personal ambition which have wrecked the republics of history. The free ballot is the highest and most potent expression of that individual liberty of action and opinion that is a cardinal tenet of Republican faith. It was in behalf of this liberty that Sumner thundered in the Senate, that Lincoln wrestled in the historic debates with Douglass, that Seward appealed from statutes of injustice to the higher law. The Republican party has been inseparably identified with the freedom of the ballot box from the hour of its birth. The Press calls on every Republican in Congress to maintain by every legitimate means the right of the nation to protect the source of all government authority from the invasion of violence and fraud.

THE great party of Jefferson will never be a gold standard party. It is not so inscribed in its articles of l'aith.—Frankfurt Crescent.

The Crescent evidently does not know that Jefferson, when President, peremtorily ordered the coinage of the silver to be stopped, and it was stopped. This was in 1805. There was free coinage of silver at that time, and had been 6ince 1792, but under the ratio of 15 to 1 then prevailing silver was not worth quite so much as gold, therefore debts being paid in the cheaper money, gold was being driven out of circulation. Jefferson, in order to keep gold in the country promptly closed the mints to the silver dollar, and they remained closed until long after he

dead, or until 1835. Gold was a part of the material of the house that Jefferson built.
