A democratic memory that' cannot reach hack to that Chicago platform it> a big thing these days. < o\ey ‘•veni’’-ed and “vidi”-ed hut had to give up the “vici.” B\ the way, Coxey is not much of a Cieear any way. Democuact has struck the quick sand between the devil and the deep sea and the more it struggles to get up the deeper it sinks. When it comes to time the republicans will repeal that Wilson bill in considerably less time than the democrats are taking in passing it. Stiu. those resolutions do not appear in either of the democrat papers. There’s some good reading in them for democrats us well as republicans. Indiana will be a good republican state for a few years to come, and so will New Jersey. The democratic line will soon be considerably south of the old line of Mason and I )ixon.—Globe-Democrat. The democratic papers are sweating great drops of blood in trying to tell their readers what struck them on Tuesday. They forget to say they only bagged nine out of nearly one hundred mayors in Indiana. The commonweal parties have come or are coming to a common woe. They deserve failure for their

| shortsightedness but congress may well heed the demonstration of unrest, of poverty, of national retrogression from the prosperity of 18H1 an«l to the adversity of 11898 and 1894. The truth hurts. The /democrat wastes two and a half columns of space this week, aided by the Indianapolis Jounal correspondent, an attache of the ortice, trying to explain away the republican gains of Tuesday. It will require several pages and columns of specials to make an impression on that victory. The republicans are satisfied with it. The “insides" of the Democrat I last week presented the republican state convention resolutions in full. I These "insides” appear to be edited j independently of the “outsides,” and upon quite more liberal and fair grounds. These “insides" have the following to say concerning the 1 democratic party in general, most of which the Banner Times has agreed are right, things that the people of the country know are correct, and things the New Y'ork World prints, which paper, the Democrat (according to its always correct files) has said will do to tie to. We herewith reproduce what the Democrat has reproduced from the World. It’s good readin’: It is useless to deny or la-little the fact that there is a widespread reaction among the voters of the country against the demiH-ratic party. The town election!- in Ohio, Illinois and Michigan tell the same story as those of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and the state election in Rhode Island shows the same causes at work in a more important field. And the reaction is not only sharp, but it is persistent. It is even more manifest in the spring elections than it was in those of last fall. There can be no dispute as to the fact that the political tide is riinningstrongly against the democrats. As to its meaning, there is room for a wide difference of opinion. The protectionists in both parties profess to see in it a reversal of the verdict against McKinleyism that was rendered so overwhelmingly in IHfiO and 1W2. The anti-ad-ministration democrats insist that it is due to Mr. Cleveland’s deficiencies as a parly leadei. The Cleveland democrats and the revenue reformers regard it as the result of the “hanl times” through which tiie country has passed during the last year. There is an element of truth in all these, but the real cause of the reaction is popular disgust with a party which can do nothing apparently except wrangle and dodge. The democrats in the house, and especially those in the senate, have presented a spectacle of impotence and cowardice from which any party in the best of times would suiter grievously. There’s more, but this is enough to tell where the democratic party is “at.” Chairman Gowdy, of the republican state central committee, has given it out that the campaign in this state will open out along the line on the first of September, two weeks earlier than it began in 18B2. The battle will then be waged unceasingly until the polls close in November. General Harrison will lie one of the speakers, and the state will be overrun by men of na tional reputation. It promises to be a red hot campaign so far as the republicans are concerned. The United States treasury deficit for the month of April was #11,500,000. The total deficit for ten months of this fiscal year foots up #65,447,447, or a little over #6,500,000 a month on an average. Another bond loan is in sight. Thus ibe government is sharing the burden of democracy along with the Coxeyites, millionaires and all the intervening strata of humanity in tliis great land. The cities of Indiana spoke last week and Monday the towns had their say in this republican deal of 1894. The counties will speak next. The reports of Monday’s elections in the towns show that the people are fully alive to the importance of republican victories i this year and the average of towns

escaping the republican landslide is about one in twenty-five. Many towns went republican for the first time in twenty-five years: others for the first time in their history. In the old republican towns the majorities were stacked higher and higher. These are republican straws showing the drift of the republican winds this republican year. The New York San is disgusted with the crowing of the democratic press over the election of Sorg to congress from the Third Ohio district, saying: The truth is that the democratic majority in the district has fallen off from 4316 to # 1721. It has been more than cut in half. It has suffered a loss of sixty per cent. Congressman Sorg is a brand snatched from the burning. The result in the Third Ohio district is hardly less lamentably significant than was that in the Fourteenth and Fifteenth districts of New York three months ago. The Louisville Courier-Journal has came out against Breckinridge’s renomination, and that just about settles the congressman’s case. The Courier Journal is generally right on general matters, but its polities, of course, have been too democratic to be right; however, the paper has given some good political ad vice here lately. Maryland holds numerous municipal elections this month, and the democratic Baltimore Sun rises to suggest that politics should have no more place in managing a town than in managing a bank or store. Maryland may yet heat Indiana in the election of republican municipal officers. If she does she will deserve a large medal of brilliant hue. It’s history that Cromwell the great English protector once kicked out a parliament that was dilatory in business, locked up the House, put the keys in his pocket and went home. It would he a good idea for a Cromwell to make an excursion of one to Washington with a goodsized stuffed club and a bunch of keys in these days. Ai.t. estimates of the probable revenue under the new tarift arrangements are to be taken with considerable allowance for the fact that nobody can yet tell how much the general prosperity is going to be retarded by democratic folly of one kind and another during the present session of congress.—Globe Democrat. It is now but a question of a five cent ferry fare for the people of Louisville to get from an expensive Bourbon rule to the protecting w ing of the new republican cities of Jeffersonville and New Alban}’. A great many, Louisville republicans arc contemplating making the change of residence lor the better. A man in Alexandria wanted to stamp the eagle so bard at the late election that he took a hatchet and drove the stamp through the ballot and half way through the pine shelf before the election clerks could get to him. The people are powerfully In earnest this year about stamping the eagle. Friday was pension day, and the vouchers loaded the mail bags to Indianapolis. The checks began arriving Saturday, and the money, badly needed, will be put into circulation. This is one of the systems the democratic party is trying to do away with. H. II. KouLSAAThas retired from the ownership of the Inter Ocean, having disposed of his holdings in that excellent journal to Wm. 1’enn Nixon, who has been its editor tor eighteen years. The policy of the paper will remain unchanged. A large crowd of enthusiastic republicans will go down to Martinsville on Thursday to attend the congressional convention. They will work early and late for the nomination of Putnam’s candidate, Chas. B. Case. Incidentally if might be said that Benjamin Harrison is still making speeches that win approbation. He never talks otherwise.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. Important Events at the Capital.—The Latest N«*wn. Washinoton. May 7, 1894 The presence of 500 men camped for a week within the limits of the National Capitol, banded together under the name of an “armv," and threatening openly to remain until joined by a suftieieut niimtier of men to intimidate congress into granting the ridiculous demands of its self-appointed leader, and the circumstance.- attendant upon their coming and their stay here presents ipiite as impressive an “object lesson” as the financial "object lesson” inaugurated by the Cleveland administration about this time last year, and unless the difference between liberty and license is more sharply defined may lead to quite as much misery. That a majority of the men that this man Coxey has enticed into Washington and quartered in a jiest hole from which he has moved ids valuable horses for fear of their dying from the foul and malaria laden atmosphere are lazy,good-natured tramps, only intent upon avaiding work and being fed, is apparent by their refusal of work when ottered them, but it is equally apparent that this man Coxey means mischief should his force grow strong enough to make it, and the populist senators and representatives are doing all they can to encourage it. When this man Coxey and two of ids followers were arrested for violating tiie law in their absurd attempt to speak from tiie steps of the Capitol,every populist in congress who could make any claim to being a lawyer appeared in the |>oliee court, nominally as their volunteer defenders, but in reality to intimidate that court. This is the third day of their trial, which ought not to have lasted more than an hour. The manner in which the old law, docking the pay of members of the house absent without leave, except on account of sickness, is being enforced is extremely farcical. The members are allowed to certify their own absence and tiie highest number of days that any member has owned up to being absent was «ix. while any number of them who were absent at times during the month of April returned no certificate of absence and drew their full month’s pay. The speaker of the house, who under this law is renuired to 0. K. the certificates of tin* members before they are paid by the sergeant-at-arms, declines to go behind the returns made by the members, even if lie lias actual knowledge of their incorrectness, thus leaving the matter entirely with the consciences of tiie members. Experience has proven that men's consciences are very much like rubber when questions arise affecting their pocketbooks. Sugar lias certainly played a star part in the tariff tinkering farce comedy that has been going on in tie* senate for five . weeks, and unless information that has been received fr in Louisiana is incorrect sugar is either going to get all of the flowers in tin* last act or is going to break up the show. Demands have been made upon Senators Cattery and Blanchard, of Louisiana, by the sugar planters of that state, that they repudiate the forty per cent ad valorem duty put on sugar by the present bill and demand a straight duty of two cents a pound—forty per cent is a fraction less than one cent a pound—and voteagainst the entire bill if the two cent duty is not put upon sugar. This is very embarrassing to the senators named, who have already in caucus agreed to support the bill as it stands. They are, it is said, given their choice of obeying tiie demand of the -ugar planters or retiring from the senate. They both hold gubernatorial appointments, and the legislature that will meet on the loth* inst. will elect senators totlll bothof the unexpired terms, as well as one for a full term. To fully understand the situation it must he remembered that the Louisiana legislature is said to he overwhelmingly in favor of a two cent duty on sugar, and that it has the power should < artery and Blanchard decline to tight for it to send, within fortyeight hours after its meeting, as their successors men who will, it must not he forgotten, either, tiiat with the votes of the two Louisiana senators and that of Hill of N. Y., cast against the tarift’ hill, even if there are no more deinoeratic defections, that measure will be

killed.

Tiie oil. sugar, whisky and other trusts have been taken care of, through democratic threats to defeat the tariff bill, so who can blame the Louisiana people for taking advantage of tiie power given them by a chain of extraordinary circumstances to demand what they want. Ever si nee the senate liegan its tariff'tinkering, it has been a grab game. Why shouldn’t Louisiana grab her share? it is to head off' the action of the Louisiana senators that the proposition has been made in the house to put an amendment on tiie legislative and executive appropriation hill, repealing the sugar bounty, hut its efficacy would l>e more than doubtful, although there is little doubt about its being put through the house easy enough. But, if the Louisiana senators can defeat the tariff hill, unless their demands are met. they can also defeat the rejieal of the sugar bounty. It i looks to a man up a tree a« though they can be absolute masters of the situation if they have the nerve and will to be such. Subscribe for the Banner Times.
