FRIDAY, MARCH 1894.

THK Democratic majority in ilic House is large but apparently useless.

THE Democratic part}', like Gaul, is divided into two parts: Those who swear by the Wilson bill and those who swear at it.

QI KKX Lit, may as well send her crown to the junk shop, and Minister Willis may as well come home as his occupation is gone.

THK price of wheat is less than a cent a pound and the tendency is still downward. "Where is that SI.25 wheat that the Democrats promised the a riners?

IT is evident that the Government •will have to borrow at least $50,000,000 more long- before the -fiscal year ends. The Democratic party of a truth is a debt-making party.

Fon two weeks the House has been in a deadlock for lack of a quorum. A quorum is present but the Speaker refuses to count. If the Democrats long ago had adopted Reed's sensible rule in counting a quorum they would not be humiliated by their failure in a police court method to accomplish the same.

THIS sentiment from the majority report of the Senate Foreign Affairs committee will make the ears of GroYer Cleveland tingle:

When a crown falls in any kingdom of the Western hemisphere it is pulverized, and when a scepter departs it departs forever.

When Minister AVillis reads these lines he, too. will wish that Morgan had never been born.

WHAT effect will the Wilson Hill have on the business interest of the country? This is a question which is uppermost in the public mind at present. The Presidents of the Chambers of Commerce at New York, Host,on, San Francisco and New Orleans have set forth their views on the subject in a, timely and important symposium entitled "Home Industries and the Wilson Bill" that will appear in the March number of the North American licvicw.

THK Louisville Post. is a Democratic sheet in every respect, but it fires three very prominent Democratic Senators out of its party in this fashion:

Senator Morgan, of Alabama, an alleged Democrat, is leading the Republican forces in the Senate on the issue raised by the situation in Hawaii. Senator Hill leads the Republican forces against the confirmation of appointments made by a Democratic President. Senator Gorman will probably lead the Republicans in their contest against the W ilson bill. Evidently these Senators don't care what happens so it does not happen to them.

THK Louisville Courier-Journal, discussing the recent Pennsylvania election and the big plurality given for Grow, remarks: •'No good can come to the Democracy from closing its eyes to the fact that, beginning with the November elections, wherever an expression of the people at the polls has been had an indication lias been given that the surlace drift is as present against the party in power."

No getting away from this fact, and the Courier-Journal wants to know what its party is going to do about it.

THK Crawfordsville JOUHNAI.evidently seeks notoriety for the baseness of its attack upon Democrats. It ignores all regard for decent politics and rather glories in publishing that which it knows is untrue.—Frankfort Cresccnt.

THE JOURNAL desires to even up with the Crcscent by expressing the opinion that it is domiciled in a glass house of exceedingly frail structure. Its promiscuous flinging of dornics, therefore, is extremely dangerous to its own fortifications. The Crescent -can lay no rightful claim to "decent politics" unless it be the "baseness of its attacks" upon Republicans.

Now THAT the cuckoo is abroad in the land, this definition of the insect furnished by the New York Sun is full and satisfactory in every particular: "A political cuckoo is a man who is willing to defend an unworthy political cause, not because he believes in it, but because he hopes, by so doing, to curry favor with some individual in office, whose personal comfort it may promote. A person by becoming a political cuckoo sacrifice independence and consistency. He ceases to have a inind of his own, if he had one before. He becomes, as it were, an automaton but that is not all he must attack and traduce those of his associates in the Cabinet, or the Congress, who have retained intact their political manhood and personal independence."

Till-: SOl'Tir HAS ALWAYS CONTiioi.i.KD. Mr. "Livingston, of Georgia, in response to Mr. Hewitt's bitter speech against the members of Congress from the South, said that the Southern members. weak as they were in Mr. Hewitt's estimation, controlled the Government from its formation up to the beginning of the war, and that they were now about to assume control of it again. Mr. Livingston, in making this boastful declaration, doubtless had in his mind the speech made by Alexander II. Stephens to the Georgia convention in the beginning of 18(11, when he undertook to persuade his State not to secede from the Union. The following extract from that remarkable speech, will show that Mr. Livingston was exactly right in regard to the control of the Government by the South prior to the war. Mr. Stephens taid:

Hut again, gentlemen, what have we to gain by this proposed change of our relations to the general Government? We have always had the control of it and can yet, if we remain in it and are as united as we have been. We have had a majority of Presidents chosen from the South, as trell us the control rtnil mamtjemc.nt of those chosen from the North. We have had sixty years of Southern Presidents to their twentyfour. thus controling the executive department of the Government. So of the .Judges of the Supreme Court, we have had eighteen from the South and but eleven from the North: and, although nearly four-fifths of the judicial business has arisen in the free States, yet a majority of the court has always been from the South. This we have required so as to guard against any interpretation of the constitution unfavorable to us. In like manner we have been equally watchful to guard our interests in the Legislative branch of the (.Jovernment. In choosing the presiding President (pro 1cm) of the Senate, we have had twenty-four to their eleven. Speakers of the House we have had twenty-three and they eleven. While the majority of representatives, from the greater population, have always been from the North, yet we have so generally secured the speaker, because he, to a greater extent, shapes and controls the legislation of the country.

We have quoted enough of this remarkable speech to show that the historical fact asserted by Congressman Livingstone is true to the letter. It is clearly shown by Mr. Stephens that up to the beginning of the war the Southern members has, and maintained control of every department of the government. And does it not now look like the other part of Mr. Livingstone's statement that the South is preparing to control the government again, is equally true? The South again has the Speaker, and he, as Mr. Stephens shows, controls legislation. Nearly all the important committees appointed by the present Speaker of the House have a majority of Southern members in them. The President, while again elected from the North, is largely in sympathy with the free trade notions of the South. Under the circumstances is it any wonder Mr. Uriee, the Democratic Senator from Ohio, the other day broke out with his urgent protest against the South and its present attempt to again assume control of all our affairs? Republicans have always protested against this unfairness, but their protests have had no weight with Northern dough-faces, who suffer themselves to be controlled by the Southern element. It is a hopeful sign of the times when Democrats themselves begin to "kick" against this disposition of the South to run the government in the exclusive interest of that section.

A I'liOI'IIKCV KULl'ILLIU). 1 he fact that .lames G. Klaine predicted the exact condition of things now prevailing in this country, and as accurately showed the causes which would lead up to it. is recalled by the Toledo Blailc. Read the words of this greatest of latter-day American statesmen, and see how clearly the drift of events indicated to him the evils that were to come: "I love my country and my countrymen. I am an American, and I rejoice every day of my life that I am. I enjoy the general prosperity of my country, and know that the workingmen of this land are the best paid, the best fed and the best clothed of any laborers on the face of the earth. Many of them have homes of their own. They are surrounded by all the comforts and many of the luxuries of life.

I shudder, however, at the thought that the time must come when all this must be changed, when the general prosperity of the country will be destroyed, when the great body of workingmen in this land, who are now so prosperous, will hear their wives and children cry for bread that the day must come when the breat factories and manufactories of this land will shut down, and where there is now life and activity where will be the silence of the tomb.

And the reason why this must be is this: The great Southern wing of the Democratic party are determined to establish the doctrine of free trade in this land. They will be assisted by their Northern allies. There is a great body of visionary, but educated, men, who are employed day by day in writing tree trade essays and arguments in favor of the doctrine, which find their way to every newspaper in the land. The great body of our people have never experienced, themselves, the sufferings which always result when the protective principles are laid aside.

Poisoned and excited by the Wild statements of these writers and the demagogic appeals of the Democratic speakers, the result will be that in the very near future these forces which now working will be strong enough to defeat at the polls the party advocat­

ing the doctrine of protection. It must inevitably follow that uncertainty and doubt will ensue. The business men of the country, fearing the destruction of the principles of protection, will decline to engage in business, consequently mills will shut down, and the workingmen will be thrown otit of employment.

The people will then see, as they have never seen before, that they can not be prosperous and have work while this principle, is threatened. In the midst of their sufferings they will learn that the only way they can be prosperous and happy is to vote for the party that has built up the industries by which they have gained a livelihood: because they will then see clearly that when the manufactory is shut down there is no demand for the only thing which they have to sell, and that is their labor."

TJIE S.K\ATE HAWAIIAN KKPOKT. The Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs submitted their report yesterday. The majority report, which is signed by the chairman, Senator Morgan, and Senators Sherman. Fry, Dolph and Davis, is decidedly unfavorable to the administration. The committee finds that the landing of the troops had nothing to do with bringing about the revolution or insuring its success. It criticises the character of the Queen, her associates and general conduct, and regrets that Minister Willis should have continued his interviews with her after the President had determined that the full duty of the government had been performed. The members of the committee, after agreeing with Senator Morgan, sign a supplemental report, in which they deny the authority of the President to send a special commissioner to Hawaii, or that he was empowered to restore the Queen. The minority, signed by Senators Rutler. Turpie, Daniel and Gray simply censure Minister Stevens for landing the troops. Butler and Turpie favor annexation. Neither of the three reports will be satisfactory to the President, because there is not to be found in any of them the slightest commendation of his policy of restoration, nor is there a single expression that criticises those American citizens who overthrew the Queen.

TIIK Philadelphia Times has been one of the most enthusiastic pro-Ad-ministration, anti-Protection journals in the country. When Mr. Cleveland was elected, with a majority of both branches of Congress behind him, it fairly danced for joy, and predicted that a politico-social millennium would soon be ushered in by the Democratic party. But it is not talking in that way now. Oh, no! Just listen to it:

The only one conspicuous result of the present Congress thus far is an impressive lesson given to the American people that the Democratic party is unfit to govern the Republic. It has politicians large and small, but mostly small, while statesmanship seems to have become a lost art in the councils of that organization. It is now more than six months since Congress met. and the single thing it has accomplished to meet the business necessities of the country friis the repeal of the silver bill, and that would not have been accomplished without Republican votes.

The Times has plenty of Democratic company, so it is far from being lonesome it its views.

IT is now certain that the United States will not interfere in behalf of the dethroned Queen of the Sandwich Islands. The un-American designs of Cleveland, Gresham. Blount and AVillis have come to naught. The American doctrine is well stated by Senator Morgan in these words:

When a crown falls in any kingdom of the Western hemisphere it is pulverized. and when a scepter departs it departs forever, and the American opinion cannot sustain any American ruler in the attempt to restore them, no matter how virtuous and sincere the reasons may be that seem to justify him.

This sentiment cannot be stated too often. Words fitly spoken are like apples of gold in pictures of silver.

As A showing of what the Democratic administration has done for the business of the country, the Boston Wool sales for the past week were 1,485,200 pounds, against 3.805,000 for the corresponding week of last year. This is one industry which has been especially attacked by the free trade theorists and deficiency makers in Congress.
