In most Congressional districts the parties are so nearly equally divided that the election often depends upon a mere handful of voters. Two or three bosses controlling a few venal votes in hundreds of cases decide who shall represent a district full of intelligent people in the American Congress. Ilere is the secret of so many novelties and demagogues in Congress. When the .district system is succeeded by proportional representations a large slice of the influence of the political boss will be cut off.

hk ouknai, has been asked to explain why the Democrats in Congress are called cuckoos.'' It was during the debate o.i the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act that Senator Morgan, of Alabama, we believe it was, applied the term to the Administration Democrats, probably from the fact that the cuckoo is supposed to be named from its note. The note is a call to love, and continues only during the amorous season. The cuckoo, it is said, lays its eggs in a nest formed by other birds by 'which they are hatched. It will be seen that the term is appropriate to those who receive all their inspiration from (Jrover Cleveland.

Tiik iniquitous Wilson bill will probably pass the House just about as it came from the committee. The patronage whip is to be cracked over the heads of those who were disposed to vote against it. The Texan described in picturesque language the situation: "Our folks are like a lot of old bulls in a bunch of cattle. When the cowboys come up they will prance out and bellow and paw up a heap of dust, but as soon as they hear the crack of the whip they will turn right in with •the rest of the herd and go quietly along just as if they liked it." It is rtlie "pie counter" at the White House which will drive the recalcitrants back with the rest of the herd.

ai.stkai) in his usual vigor­

ous style says the situation of the Democratic party is desperate. It is going to wreck visibly. The Cleveland Administration is already a monumental and irredeemable failure.v^-»Jt is more kinds of a failure than any other Administration ever was in the same time. It lias not a shred of respect left, unless it is self-respect, and that is doubtful. Uresliam made the Democrats weary when first appointed, and the extent to which they have "that tired feel" is dreadful. Why should he have been lugged in with his Wabash diplomacy to set a bear trap for Harrison and catch Cleveland? Why should he have been torn from the bench to stuff a pigeon hole? Simply because Cleveland felt it was incumbent on him to show up as "big'er" and better than the Democratic party. Gresham is his exhibit to that effect.

A (iHKAT SPKKC M.

The speech of Hon. Julius C. Burrows, of Michigan, in reply to Hon. W. L. Wilson, on the proposed tariff bill, was a signally able effort. The facts and figures which he gave, showing the magnificent arid unprecedented development of American industries through protection, are beyond contradiction or dispute, lie showed that the proposed'lull is not in any sense a tariff for revenue. It would yield ST.VOOO.OOO less than the present act from imports .equal to those of l.SU.'i. The addition of Kit articles to the free list, besides a great number of farm products, would increase free importations by over $45,000,000 on the basis of last year, a throw away—a free donation to foreigners—of S?l:i.7^".i.'.i.'!lJof revenue. He shows up the sectionalism of the bill in a most effective style. For instance: The clay of New Jersey is made free, but protects by a duty of a ton the clav of Georgia. Hoop iron on the farmer's bucket is taxed, but on the planter's cotton bale is free. Washed wool is a raw material and made free, but washed clay of the South is a finished product and made dutiable. The wheat of the Northern farmer, who pays S:.' per day for labor, is protected by only a :.'0 percent, duty, while the rice of the Southern farmer, who pays only 75 cents per day for labor, is protected by a duty of 71 per cent. Mr. Hurrouws' words have the force and weight of truth. Said he: ••American workmen must tramp and starve, great industrial plants must go into disuse and decay, while the Democratic party is attempting to secure revenues from imported goods without conferring protection upon American capital and American labor." This describes conditions as they actually exist, and which everybody knows to be true.

A

S'I'okv

is told of Col. Gilbert A.

Pierce, the late Minister to Portugal, that he once picked up in his arms a young lady who stood hesitating at the corner of a street in an Indiana village, unable to cross it because a shower had filled it with a rushing torrent of water. The young lady submitted without a protest while the Colonel strode gallantly through the torrent until he deposited he fair charge on the opposite sidewalk with dry feet. "Sir!" she then said indignantly, "are you aware you have insulted me?" "1 was not aware of it," replied the Colonel, "but seeing that you are right, I beg to make amends." So saying, he picked up the protesting damsel and restored her to the place where he had first made her acquaintance. The gallant Colonel is the father of Mrs. II. S. Inglis, of this City.

Tiik New York tiUin, a Democratic paper of the strictest sect, thus describes the cuckoo and its habits:

The Hon. Charles Tracey seems to have shown an unreasonably amount of resentment yesterday at being called a cuckoo by implication and inuueudo by the Hon. Charles A. Houtelle. A cuckoo is in many respects a remarkable bird, lie is connected with freshness and the spring. He is entomological in his diet. His sing-ular prudence in the matter of house rent has made liim famous. His voice, though not various, may be depended upon. He takes to the woods with great regularity. 1 le flies before the hawk and other snappers. He is doubtless a bird of merit, in his peculiar way. Why does Mr. Tracey object to an implied comparison between himself and a bird so distinguished in song and story and ornithology? Why will be be so unjust, not to say disrespectful, to this simple child of the swamp and the forest?

When Mr. Houtelle referred to the White House clock he doubtless had in mind the time-piece known as the "cuckoo clock." It is described as a large piece of mechanism for keeping time surrounded by quite a number of small cuckoos. When the large clock strikes the little cuckoos all jump out and repeat the strokes, the sounds being similar to the notes of that bird. This may be given as another reason way the Administration Congressmen are called "cuckoos." When the big piece of mechanism at the White House sounds a note all the small birds at the other end of Pennsylvania avenue jump up and repeat the stroke.

I aNew York Cleveland paper appeared this: Secretary Gresham presents the most pitiable sight of any man about Washington. lie presents the appearance of one who has lost several nights' sleep. His face plainly tells the story of his mental suffering. He fully realizes that he lias sacrificed himself in the Hawaiian affair and that the Democratic leaders are glad of it. There is not a man in the cabinet who at heart is not glad of Cleveland's dilemma, and the Secretary of State is aware of the fact. He has no one to lean on in his hour of political trial. He can't look to Republicans for they resent his desertion of them. Yesterday he was comforted by pouring his tale of woe into the sympathetic year of Hob Ingersoll.

Gresham belongs to the graveyard of "dead ducks," a place of interment laid out by Andy Johnson.

hk collar and cuff workers of Troy and New York City this week sent a petition to Congress, signed by (55),81!) people. 11 made a book two feet thick, six feet long and four feet wide, was bound in red, white and blue and required four men to carry it into the House. This made the "cuckoos" uncomfortable. 'm,

A II I'MILl ATIXU STOltY. Tiik Hawaiian correspondence sent to the House last Saturday by the President does not improve the position of the Administration, but, if anything makes the case worse. It furnishes most damning proof that Minister Willis, acting under the instructions of the President, treacherously to the Hawaiian government to which he had been sent as an accredited ambassador, sneakingly connived with the deposed and barbarous Queen for the overthrow of the recognized government and the substitution of the monarchy. The instructions of Gresham, under-date of January 1intensifies the shame with which the United States is covered in preferring heathens to Christians. No wonder the President desired to suppress the dispatch from Willis in which lie relates his interview with the bloodthirsty ex-Queen. In this interview the woman insisted on her divine right to behead her enemies. She wanted to destroy the men who were struggling for a Christian government, and substitute in its stead a licentious, heathen one. The I'resident. Gresham and Willis were in favor of everything she wanted except the beheading part of the programme. She finally yielded and after muclii persuasion on the part of Willis, and her paramour, Wilson, and the other loafers around the throne, consented that she would grant amnesty to the leaders of the Provisional Government. Then it was that Willis made his impudent demand upon the existing government to surrender its authority to the deposed Queen. Could there be anything- more humiliating to the United States connected with our diplomatic history? It is a relief to turn to the manly, dignified and statesmanlike reply of President Dole, in which he explains his course in refusing to yield to the United States when the President sought to overthrow that Government on the plea of justice, when really he had a partisan purpose to serve. This position of Mr. Dole is in striking contrast to the sneaking, cowardly course of the President, lie refers to Ulount and in diplomatic language denounces him as a liar. Mr. Dole says he does "not feel inclined to regard it as the last word of the American Government on this subject." He then refers to the previous course of the United States Secretaries of State from Wm. Marcy to James G. Blaine. He denies the right of the President to interfere in the internal affairs of a foreign country and wants to know by what authority he assumes to act as arbiter, as in all cases of arbitration it takes two to make a bargain. The "only earthly power" that Mr. Dole recognizes with authority to interfere with the Provisional Government is the will of the brave people of Hawaii. The dignity and strength of Mr. Dole's attitude contrasts strongly with the meanness and littleness of the United States diplomatic course under Cleveland and Gresham. The latter attempted to put the Harrison Administration ill a hole.

In the pit they digged are entombed their own diplomatic carcasses.

Gk.v. J. C. lil.ACK, in the course of his speech the other day in the House in advocacy of the passage of the Wilson bill, said: "If 1 were being chased by bees I would lay down the honey.' and if I were being set on wolves I would get the fresh beef out of their sight." Continuing, he added: would seek to repeal thifsc hi wis which, made wiKjcst hitjher, and would let wages have their natural play all over the world." In other words because the McKinley law had the tendency to make wages higher and work plentiful General Black is in favor of repealing it so that wages can have their natural play all over the world. Instead of legislating for the benefit of the American wageearner General Black is attempting to legislate for the world. :0J.

Sun'atok Tuisi'ik has made a speech in the Senate on the Hawaiian question which must be annoying to the President and Secretary Gresham. The brief telegrapliie reports of the speech say it was a strong legal argument, based on international and diplomatic law, and took the position that the provisional government having been once recognized by the United States and the civilized world it was a fact accomplished and recognition could not be withdrawn. Senator Turpie can afford to speak his convictions as he has no standing at the pie counter.

hk Atlanta Constitution which no person would for a moment accuse of being anything else than a Democratic paper, has this to say of the Hawaiian muddle:

We are involved in a disgraceful tangle, and it is all the result of the attempt to mingle Republican and mugwump elements with Democracy. If we had a Democratic Secretary of State in the Cabinet he would have taken hold of this matter in accordance with the precedents and traditions of our party, with no 'thought of attacking Mr. Harrison's policy simply because it was Harrison's.

POLITICAL PARTIES.

The Democratic I'arty Not Compatible With the I5«»st Interests of the Republic.

To tho Editor the Crawfordsville Journal. As we approach the culmination of

the threats that have been made

against the manufacturing and labor

interests of this country 1 feel that if anything can be said, to allay the feverish anxiety of those interested, it should be done. I wish, however, to continue a further evidence, in support of the position already assumed in my previous articles, viz: That the principles incorporated in the organic structure of the Democratic party, have long since ceased to be compatible with the best interests of this Republic. founded as it is, upon the principle of ejual fit/his to all.

In my previous articles 1 have assumed that the tariff question is a continuation of the slavery question and that the fight against our protective system is waged by the identical party Unit wc callcd pro-slavery, and that fought so desperately to maintain human bondage, in opposition to our plain declaration of equal rights to all. and that, whilst this pro-slavery party lost in the late rebellion the right to own the soul and body of the toiler, they continued to hold the right to own the labor of the toiler. 1 have not cited this fact through any spirit of censure, they are natural and legitimate results The same cause will produce the same effect, all things being equal, in the physical world, and it is none the less true in the social and political world. As the social world evolves to higher planes it is as much under law as any phenomena in the physical. This principle also holds good in the political. Now whilst the tariff question in this country is manipulated by political machinery it is really in the social sphere that we find its mainspring.

The American colonies obtained their independence by revolution. That revolution was political and not social, or at least but sparingly so. The colonies were settled by Europeans from aristocratic countries, and at the time of the revolution were governed by aristocratic England. The revolution being a political revolution, the social ideas were retained by the colonists. The idea that physical toil is degrading, menial, that a member of society who does not toil is above one socially who is compelled to toil, was prevalent at that time, and unfortunately is so with a certain class yet. The above ideas were prevalent at that time and entered largely into the laws and social machinery. In order to make the line of distinction clear and distinct, slavery was adopted by our forefathers, and in order to make this difference less objectionable and widen the chasm between capital and labor, they adopted a property qualification for the voter and selected for their slaves a weak, helpless and ignorant branch of the human race—the negro, as the social and political victim of this aristocratic caste spirit.

Now the selection of this colored race as the victim of this caste spirit was merely a question of availibility. Ths same principle applies to the paleface as legitimately as to the ebonyface. and in the past history of slavery this has been the case.

Now there has never been a political party organized but what reflected the social status of its members. At the time of the organization of the Democratic party the above social status was the standard, and hence these social elements are to be found furnishing the soul, or spirit of this old centenary party, and it it is just as as natural for it to legislate on that line as it is natural for a human being to hear, see, feel, smell or taste.

Parties, like man, live through an age of childhood, manhood and old age, and like men, when they grow old, are very likely to object to the innovation of new and advanced principles of progress. Their ideals are derived from the mental impressions of their early manhood, so with political parties, especially the Democratic party. It is endeavoring to fit the principles of a century ago on our present changed conditions and relations. They have seized our splendid ship of state, that has been propelled by the most approved application of steam, for the last thirty years, and are trying to run it on the old plan of wind sail. How well they may succeed is yet to be tested. There is one thing sure, had it not been that the Republican engineer re-kindled the fires in the furnaces and applied Republican steam the ship would have foundered in the first little squall—the repeal of the purchasing chause of the Sherman act.

From the fact that where the Democratic party in its early -manhood, had to deal with a country almost jvholly agricultural, and from the fact that it could bear without absolute ruin, a "tariff for revenue only." This old centenary party presumes that now, when we have billions of dollars invested in manufacturing machinery, and millions of laborers employed at respectable and living wages, that our country will bear the strain of retrograding back to the "time honored principles of Thos. Jefferson," as their preambles are pleased to term it. But

not so, such a change would not only

bring ruin, but revolution, and it

seems to me that any man, or set of

set of men. that would in our present state of prosperity attempt to engraft the old Walker principles on this our present state of prosperity, when our country is changed from one of agricultural to one largely manufacturing', must like Pharaoh of old have his or their heart hardened, and their visions blinded to the extent of self destruction.

I'.ut to go back to this principle of holding down the laboring classes to a standard of dependence and meniality as is the case in all aristocratic countries. We will look back to the efforts of Cobden, who operated in England contemporary with Polk and Walker, in this country. Cobden is looked upon by many as a friend to the poor, in fact a benefactor. The wage laborers in England back in the forties were toiling at a mere pittance, the price of living in England had advanced through the manipulation of the common laws until something must be done. Wages must be increased or living' must be cheapened. To increase the wages would be to give the toiler a more important opinion of himself, would give him an inkling of his rights. It would further draw from the coffers of the capitalists hence this plan would not do. for it would be in violation of the long existing relation in the old countries, between capital and labor. So Cobden fell upon the plan of cheapening living by reducing the price of corn, at the expense of the agriculturalist who was considered a mud-sill. This was considered. at the time, a very wise and happy way out of the dilemma. By this plan was saved the employer from an increase of expense in production. It prevented the wage laborers from getting an inkling of his rights, and kept the corn producer bearly this side of indigence. Again it saved asocial law from violation, viz: The most unfortunate thing- that can happen any social system is "for the laborer to be as intelligent as the employer."

By this cnup dc etat Cobden became quite noted: he had saved the European idea of labor, thereby enabling the laborer to toil on at a menial price. After this Cobden clubs were organized in England and America. These clubs have ever since been furnishing the free trade literature which lias poisoned and rendered un-American the Democratic party. For years this party has been making war upon the sheep and wool interests of this country, in the interest, as they claim of the poor laborer, they would like to reduce the price of woolen fabrics so as to enable the taiior to work on at a European schedule, and at the same time compel the wool grower to compete with the shepherd dog and halfbreed, on the mountain sides of Brazil. in order that a working man may buy a suit of clothes for one dollar less.

I ask pardon for making a digression at this point, whilst I relate a circumstance that occurred with me last fall. I met an old gentleman and his wife perched high up

Gil a load of wool—

some :i.()00 pounds. They were wending their way to market, and I assure you they were sad and forlorn. They knew their fate. They halted and the wife led out in conversation, by saying: "The "old man' had heard Brooksliire's celebrated wool speech in the last canvass, and that Brooksliire had convinced him that if the tariff was removed from wool, that.he (the old man) could buy his 'coat and breeches' cheaper. We have been waiting for clothing to get cheaper, until pa's is almost 'naked', his socks are full of holes, his 'britches' patched, his elbow' out, and we could wait no longer as winter is near. Now," she remarked with great bitterness, "we will probably save fifty cents on his suit of clothes, and lose $250 on our wool clip."

This story illustrates the Democrntic wool fallacy, more fully than would volumes of theory, based upon false premises. The Democracy have howled "free wool" in Congress for years, making the most pathetic appeals in behalf of the poor, when at the same time their efforts were in a direct line with the Cobden doctrines, viz: To make clothing cheaper so that the wage laborer can continue his toil at a cheap schedule and at the same time reduce the wool to a dependent standard.

I notice, however, that true to their theory of polities (relying largely on the ignorance of their constituents) they are now circulating long columns of figures and dates to prove that wool is higher in the United .States when admitted free of duty, than it is under protection, showing or claiming that wool was admitted free for the first thirty-five years of our national life, proving, as I have claimed in this article, that, old-man like, they- are continually laboring to fit the old principles upon the new condition of things. What was the condition of this country prior to 1824? Texas, California and New Mexico belonged to Old Mexico. The great West, with the mountain sides and valleys, was principally occupied by the red man. The settled portion of the United States was not a
