“Who will take care of the babies when women get their rights?” some one asks. There won’t be any babies. The fifty third Congress as now •onstitutEd will again convene on Monday, December 3, for its short and last session. New Jersey repudiates Senator McPherson. The employment of his cook as a sugar broker made that St ate sour on him. Ie there should be a jollfication meeting we recommend our enemies to observe decorum in their sport, for all unwaranted delights have an ill farewell. The Democratic party is as fifU. of life as it was before its defeat. It will organize immediately under entirely new leadership and it will carry the country again in ±896. Our Republican Iriends claim that they have checked the ownward march of Democratic hosts. But they forget that in the bright lexi- . con of Democracy there is no such word as “not-get there.” The Republican Congress that dares to pass another high protective. McKinley measure will be paralyzied at the ballot box. Mark it, Messrs Republicans! while you blow your horn of rejoicing this week. One of the features of Tuesday’s cyclone which Democrats everwhere may be thankful for is that the Democratic party has been permanently relieved of the leadership 41 of foxes like Gorman, Hill and Brice. The pendulum of opinion is on the swing. Its vibrations are frequent and of least surprising, but vibrate as it may when it comes to a test it is nearly always correct. So it will be with the economic questions now on trial. Prosperity will keep coming under the tariff law notwithstanding the results of the late election. Even the most rabid protectionist must regret that the man who beat Wilson, of West Virginia, does'not look more like an intelligent being.

The men who have lived and acquired wealth and power by subsidies, bounties'and gifts from the government which they seized and control from the hands of the masses will retain their ursurpt domination until the people shall join in a revo lution to be accomplished by their united forces with one purpose and a common object. As soon as the Federal election daws, were repealed, the solid South was broken and New York w’ent Republican by 52,000 majority. It is not at all probable therefore that these laws will be by the Republicans. 7he best of all election laws for everybody is the Australian ballot law now prevailing in more than two-thirds of the States. ’ Sweeping as the Republican victory was, the vote of the last election shows that there is still a majority against Republican policies *nd measures if it were only united. thing for every tariff reformer and free coinage advocate to do is to in bringing about a union of alljthe elements opposed to Republicanism before the next Presidential election. V.

The Labghlin nail works of Martins Ferry, Ohio, which closed some month< ago, was placed in full operation yesterday. About (500 men and boys are employed. Lack of orders and hard times were the causes assigned for shutting down. But since the new Democratic tariff law was put in force limes are reviving and mills of various kinds are put in operation. In the Republican Slate Convention of 1892 the new tax law was denounced as infamous. But at the last Republican Slate Convention no such resolution was adopted. Two years operation of the law had shown that it bad relieved the average taxpayer of the State by compelling railroads, telegraphs, and other rich corporations to bear their share of taxation. The Republican convention of this year did not quite dare to repeat its declaration of two years ago, and yet no one will be surprised if the Legislature repeals that law during the coming winter, or at least makes such changes in it as will entirely neutralize its most salutary provisions.

Such men as Senators Gorman, Brice, McPherson and Smith should cease calling themselves Democrats. They have a right to advocate Republican measures and to vote for them if they choose. But it is misleading, an act of bad faith to do so while claiming io be Democrats. It was the fight of Senator Hill against the administration and the defense of the Sugar Trust by these other Senators that caused the defeat of the Democracy on the last election. ~ Whils— the Democratic party bad every reason toTate these recreant leaders it was still held responsible for their acts by the people. A party cannot be too cautious in the bestowal of its confidence because it is difficult to make the people believe that trusted leaders do not represent party purposes.

If Secretary Carlisle will treat silver as money of ultimate redemption the same gold, as the laws of the United States do, and will wisely use that “discretion” with which the unrepealed portion of the Sherman law invests him, he will find it perfectly easy to protect his gold reserve. He has only to pay out silver instead of gold in redemption of all national obligations including interest and principal of the national debt. Within thirty days from the adoption of this policy the run on his metal money will cease altogether and the gold hoards in bank vaults will be forced to do duty either as money or as bank reserves to secure depositors. Ae long as the present policy of paying out gold alone is continued the treasSry will have to borrow gold of banks every few months to supply the demand for gold exports.

It is always much easier to tell why a party ought not to have been defeated than why it was defeated. Once in a while there is an exception to all rules and it is easier to give a good reason why a party ought to have been defeated. The Democracy fairly earned, not to say deserved, the disaster that overtook it Tuesday. The conduct of the handful of Senators who defied Grover Cleveland’s leadership on the tariff issue and endeavored to make fruitless his great work in behalf of tariff for revenue placed the Democratic party in a false position and drove from its ranks tens of thousands of voters who believe in dealing honorably and truthfully with the people. The crushing de. feat of Hill proved that his eleventh hour repentance and his splendid courage were not sufficient to win back the confidence of New York Democrats or stay the adverse tide which his fight upon the administration on the floor of the Senate had set in motion.

BAYARD NOT SURPRISED. Ambassadors Thomas H. Bayard was asked about the result of the last election. He said: “I have had grave apprehensions as to the result of the recent election for some time. It has been by no means a surprise to me. I don’t want to run afoul of those gentlemen who were responsible for the delay in the passing of the tariff bill, but as I say, the path of duty is unmistakable, and the necessity for pure Democratic tariff legislation was never so great as now. The bills for free raw material should be passed immediately and then the country will be able to contemplate the Democratic 'idea of lhe tariff in full working order for two years before another National election robs around. If this is done I have little doubt that the verdict will be satisfactory in 1096.”

, INDIAN A MAJORITIES. i . The Republican pluralrty at this } election in this Slate, according to . present indications, will be the , largest plurality of any election since Indiana was a State. At the . first Presidential election for Adi ams, Jackson and Clay in 1824, [ Jackson’s pluralty over Clay was , 2,028. It is interesting to give all , of the figures in this election. For i Adams there were 3,095 votes; for Jackson, 7,343; for Clay, 5,315. In . 1828, Jackson’s plurality over Adams was 4,585. In 1832, Jackson’s plurality over Clay was 16,080. In , 1836, Harrison s plurality over Van Buren was 8,801. In 1840, Harrison’s plurality over Van Curen was 13,667. In 1844, Polk’s plurality over Clay -was 2,314. In 1848, Cass’s plurality over Taylor was 4,848. In 1852, Pierce’s plurality over Scott was 44,439. In 1859, Buchanan’s plurality over Fremont was 24,295. In 1860, Bincoin’s plurality over Douglas was 23,524. In 1864, Lincoln’s plurality over McClellan was 20,189. In 1868, Grant’s plurality over Seymour was f 0,568. .In 1872, over Greeley was 22,515. In 1876, Tilden’s plurality over Hayes was 5,515. In 1880 Garfield’s plurality over Hancock was 6,642. In 1884, Cleveland’s plurality over Blame 1 was 6,525. In 1888, Harrison’s plurality over Cleveland was 2,Q94. In 1892, Clevelana’s plurality 'over Harrison was 7,195,

At Lafayette when Mrs. Gouger attempted to vote she was refused the privilege. She then offered to make affidavit to her citizenship, but this was also refused and lady and her husband left the voting booth. This step was taken for the purpose of making a test suit of the right of women to vote under our Constitutio. 'lhe Supreme Court has held that women have the right to practice law, and while the Constitution says that male persons over the age of 21 yeats are entitled to vote, it does no say that women cannot also vote. The base will come up before the local court in December, Mrs. Gougsr being represented by SamuelM.S tylor, of Huntington, Ind., and the Election Board of by Alexander Rice, of Lafayette. The case will t J carried to the Supreme Court. It is gtatifying to note thi t the clamor of the great political lattle 7 is over, and many unmist kable signs of a revival of business. From all points of the compass come favorable reports. It would prove unprofitable to go into a disc ission as to what caused the wave of commercial depression that en ulfed the country. The wave has p issed. The damage has been done, "here exists no longer any good i Jason for suspense or apprehension. The agencies that disturbed the co imercial confidence are no longer < >erative. The future has everyth ng of promise and nothing of doub Let all unite in the feeling that ‘hard times have gone and the goo< times are here.” Now that the Republicani have control of Congress perha 8 the Wall street bankers and pr tected mill owners will kindly pern It the resumption of business pre perity which set in six weeks ago have, full swing.

Congressman Bryan, in a feeling personal (ard to his friends, among other things, says: “Toe enemies of good government, the beneficiaries of class legislation act as one man, with unlimited means at their disposal. The common people have only their yotes, and they must cast them together or suffer defeat. In this State fusion, while only partial, has elected Judge Holcomb, and thus secured the defeat ot as corrupt a ring as ever cursed the State. This is a great victory for this year. Where else have the Democrats and Populists won such a triumph? Let us rejoice that by our combined efforts we have 'elected an honest man as executive of this State. “If all Democrats had acquiesced in the action of a majority of the party we could have elected all the State officers and and made Nebraska a bright and shining star in this night of Republican success. If the Populists had shown more liberality in their treatment of friendly Democrats we might have secured a Legislature in harmony with athe Governor, and could then have elected a Senator favorable to tariff reform, to the free coinage of silver at 16 to l,to an income tax, and to the election of United States Senators by direct vote of the people. The friends of these reforms have fought a good tight; they have kept the faith, and they will not have finished their course until the reforms are accomplished. Let us be grateful for the progress made and ‘with malice toward none and chanty for all’ begin the work of the next campaign.”—St. Louis Republic.

Feeding Wheat to Hogs. The answer to the question so many times asked, are farmers feeding much wheat to hogs? After a careful examination of statistical reports, and individual opinions of stock raisers, we can say yes, thousands of farmers are feeding wheat to their hoes with profitable results, many farmers and feeders report realizing from eighty cents to one bushel for their wheat and some still greater-prvtH,-w4»i»k, is of greater importance and interest o them than to put their wheat y.i the market at present prices. ‘ There seems to be quite a diversity of opinion among feeders as to the best manner or method ot feeding wheat to hogs. Will some of our farmers and stock feeders who are feeding wheat write to the Democrat giving their opinion as to the best manner of feeding wheat to hogs,-embracing the different arrangements for feeding, whether in open yards, m closed pens or m open fields;, also in whole grain or chop, and how mixed if chop. . The subject is worthy ot careful consideration, especially at the present price of % heat. Let us hear from you at an early date, which would be of great benefit to many farmers. May Be Made Commissioner.

Congressman A. N. Martin’s defeat for a return to Congress m>y after all, be to his gain. There is strong talk now of making him Commissioner of Pensions in case Mr. Lochran retires from the position which now seems entirely probably. The matter seems to have all been talked over in Washington by the party leaders borore Mr. Martin’s return to Indiana and virtually settled upon. If such a change should be made and Mr. Martin given the position it would be joyful news to his many friends in this district end especially to those of this county and city.—Bluffton News. - , ' z A Pleasant Event. Last Monday we were summoned to gppear at the residence of John Steele, trustee-elect of Washington township, and in due time we arrived at the aforesaid place and was admitted by hid estimable wife, and found the parlors crowded with mad? other people—about seventy-five in all. We soon learned that their son, Harvey, had “went and got married” to V. D. Bell’s accomplished daughter, Lena. After congratulations, we were invited into the dining room where we found a table loaded down with all the palatable deli, cacies that mortal man ever dreamed of, which made us think “that it was good to fee there.” We finally took our departure, wishing Harvey and his wife a long, happy and prosperous life.
