THE CAMPAIGN.
The Democratic Failure a National Disgrace.
A National uisgrace.
Indianapolis Journal.
I All things considered there is nothing in our National history more disgraceful to us as a people than the record of the present Congress. The foreign press, in commenting on the recent strike, concluded with almost one accord that it revealed the inherent weakness of popular government. Of course this was not true, but in so far as it expressed the opinion of intelligent foreigners the strike was a National disgrace, and no doubt it was a cause of humiliation to the friends of popular .» government throughout the world.
But the strike was a small disgrace compared with the record whk'h the present Congress has made. This may seem at first blush to be an unwarranted assertion but a little reflection will show it to be true,
President Harrison, in his last
I annual message to Congress, Dec. I 1892, said: "A comparison of the existing conditions with those of the most favored period in the history of the country will, I believe, show that so high a degree ot' prosperity and i, so general a diffusion of the com f, forts of life were never before en.J. f?
joyed by our people." These words were well weighed and true. They 'J- were fortified by a convincing array of facts and figures, and the conclusio'n was drawn that the unprecedented prosperity which the country had enjoyed during a long term of years and was then enjoying was due in a large degree to the policy of protection. In referring to a prospect of a c(:hange in this policy President Harrison said: 'T recommend that the whole subject of /tariff revision be left to the incomyng Congress. It is a matter of regret that this work must bedelaye^T for at least months for the threat of great tariff changes introduces so much uncertainty that an amount, not easily estimated, of business inaction and of diminished production will necessarily result.
It is possible, also, that this uncertaintv may result in decreased revenues from customs duties, for our merchants will make cautious orders for foreign goods in view of the prospect cf tariff reductions and the uncertainty as to when they will take effect."
At the date of this message coming events were casting their shadovvs before, and Gen. Harrison al4
ready foresaw the disastrous effects of a prolonged tariff legislation. Recoghizing that a new tariff' bill was ... io&vitable he expressed regret that work "must be delayed for at least tliree months.'' Mr. Cleveland was to be inaugurated March 4 fol- .• lowing, the "Democratic Congrcsssleet would come in at the same time, and it would have been possible for the work of tariff revision to have been taken up and completed before midsummer. When Mr. 'Cleveland camui into office the reasons for a prompt disposition of the tariff question were more fully developed than they were at the date ,, of President Harrison's message.
The cloud of apprehension aud distrust, at first no larger than a man's hand, was assuming ominous proportions and rapidly covering the whole business sky. There was every indication of an approaching storm and every reason why the work of tariff reform, if it was to be done, should be done as soon as possible. But mouths passed and nothing was done. Meanwhile the storm broke with most disastrous results. The Cleveland panic of 189I5 was the most memorable and destructive in our history. Congress, called together in extra session^on August 7, spent nearly three ,J months, in repealing the Sherman silver act, und adjourned November 3 without doing anything with the tariff question. A month later the ^^-..••egular session began. A year had ^y^assed since President Harrison had congratulated Congress on the extraordinary prosperity of the country, and probably no country ever "v underwent so great a change in so short a time. The conditions that prevailed a year before had been completely reversed. Universal *, prosperity had been replaced by uniit versal disaster, and an army of busy ff,
everybody ho])ed that
whatever it was going to do would be done as soon as possible. This reasonable expectation had been bitterly, cruelly disappointed. Eight months have passed, and yet, nothing Js done. On the part of'the domi" nant party in Congress they have .'been months of delay, of wrangling, ytof jobbery, of impotence and imbefacility. On the part of the people they have been months of business '-/suffering and financial torture. ".Twenty-one months have passed .^ssince President Harrison said it was jj^to be regretted that the work of tariff revision must be delayed for at least three months, and a Democratic Congress is still playing football -with the tariff question. The public welfare is still subordinate to party policy and the interests of the people are sacrificed to those of the Sugar Trust. Tfc is a National disgrace.
Why Not Ben Harrison?
Washington Post.
The cartoonists and the paragraph-
f' ers are enjoying themselves vastly nowadays in poking, what they seem to regard as fun, at the prospect, of .*-• Mr. Harrison's nomination in 1891!. j|The paragraphers are tiitilizing all iS?1their most reverend witticisms jfc-A#- touching his silence and his intent listening for indications, and the
cartoonists are rivaling Hermand himself in the truly wonderful thingdl they do with grandfather's hat. But, notwithstanding all this hilar ity, we make bold to ask, why not? Where would the Republican party make a serious blunder in nominating Mr. Harrison again? We have in the White House at present an illustrious witness of the efficacy of a third attempt, and certainly there is nothing in Mr. Harrison's record which makes him ineligible to the competition. He was beaten in 1892 by the same influences that, four years previously, had defeated Mr. Cleveland—the apathy of his own party. There was no great popular uprising against him—quite the con trary for his successful competitor himself received a very light vote, and was elected only because Republicans staved at home. Reference to the figures of the election will show that, allowing for the six new St ates, Mr. Cleveland did not receive as large a popular vote in 1892, when •he was elected, as he did in 1888, when he was defeated. Mr. Harrison. therefore, lost the day, not because the country rose up to discredit and rebuke*him, but because by some unaccountable impulse Republicans everywhere refrained from voting. Does any intelligent observer of public events imagine that Republicans, after the experience of the past year, will stay at home another time'.''
Mi-. Harrison made mistakes, of course. He was only human, and error is the twin brother of humanity. He made a mistake in Wanatnaker. he made another in the force bill he made several, in fact. But nobody ever questioned his integrity. his high courage, his personal purity of character, his profound and passionate patriotism. We were never afraid of National humiliation as the result of any foreign complications while he stood on the bridge. We were never apprehensive of domestic catastrophe with his clear head to guide and his dauntless hand to interpose. Mr. Harrison, as we know, was not picturesque and sensational enough to please a certain class. His simple ways, his quiet tastes, his love of home and family —these aspects of the man were all too commonplace for the spirited and impatient among his fellow-citi-zens. But sensible and thoughtful people gave him their respect and confidence, and it was a significant fact that those nearest to him were those who loved hira best.
There is nothing in Mr. Harrison's public record or private character of which any one can make light. He does not commend himself to Democrats, of course, because he is the most stalwart and uncompromising of Republicans. He is abhorred of mugwumps naturally, because he is virile and positive in his methods and convictions, and because with him the love of his country and his flag is a dominating passion. But not all the cartoons and all the paragraphs in the world can make the American people think of him as a small man, a weak man, a timid, futile or unreliable man. The country knows that he is the antithesis of such a man. Why not Harrison, then, for 1896? Why, indeed?
Gresham as a Judge.
Cincinnati Tribune.
It is well understood by a great many lawyers that Secretary Gresham was not a strong man on the bench, and that his decisions have been overruled with humiliating frequency. It was chiefly on account of his meager ability as a judge that President Harrison declined to put Mr. resham on the Supreme Bench. He did not think him a fit man for the place.
The lawvers in Congress are laughing over the predicament Secretary Gresham finds himself in. A Washington dispatch says: "1 a very short time the Supreme Court has overruled nine of the decisions rendered when the Secretary of State was a Circuit Court judge in the Seventh judicial district.' "Each tern of the Court held during the last year hate resulted' in decisions overruling cases brought up' on appeal from decisions of Judge Gresham. The first term of the Supreme Court last fall had before' it four appeals from decisions, of the' Seventh Circuit Court made when Judge Gresham presided1. Every one of those decisions was reversed by the Supreme Court. The cases were those of th&' Lake Shore/ Railway Company vs. Prentiss,'• Humphreys vs/, Perry, Wade' vs. The Springfield & Chicago'' Railroad Company, and th jCliicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad Company vs. Hoyt. At the second term of the court there was only one case before it on appeal from Judge Greshani's decision, and that was reversed. The last term of the court, which closed on Saturday, had another case before it, being an appeal from Judge Greshani's decision, and this was the most important case of all' and it was also overruled. ''Hence the record is clear. Every case brought to the Supreme Court in the last, three terms-, on appeal from the decisions of Judge Gresham has been overruled. There is no doubt whatever that when people get an opportunity to pass on the decisions of Secretary Gresham they will be reversed with still greater unanimity. It is doubtful if the Secretary's decision in the Hawaiian matter and his decision in the Samoan matter would be sustained bv one voter in a hundred thousand in the United States.
If Mr, Gresham is not a great judge, nor a great diplomate, nor a great statesman, nor a great Democrat, nor a great Republican, wherein does his-greatness as a public man lie?

THE WAY OF THE WORLD. He Neglected to Produce Even the Twenty Dollars From the
Wad. "Well! Well! he exclaimed, as he halted while crossing Union square the other morning and shook hands with a man sitting- on tho bench, "but I was thinking of you this very second." "Yes?" "It is was just such a morning as this, yeuvsago, when we sat on this very same bench. Do you remember it?" .... "I do." "I was dead broke, discouraged and wondering if I hadn't better commit suicide. You spoke to me in a kindly way. and we began to talk. Do you :emember?" "Oh. yes." "I told you I was a struggling young Actor, and that circumstances had Sowned me. I .was penniless and without hope. You reached over and look my hand. Remember?'1 ••Oh, yes." "And you spoke kind words. You bade me call up my courage and resolution. You predicted that I would yet climb to the top of the ladder. Remember?" "Yes." --v "And you did not stop there. You put your hand into your purse, handed $*20 bill, and told me I could have it until able to repay the loan. Am 1 correct?" "You are.1' "That noble action of yours encouraged me. I. vent away and in'de a last elVort, and it was a success. Three years ago I sat here a beggar, To-day am worth $^0,000 and all these diamonds. I owe it all to you. Bui for you I should now be molderlng in a suicide's grave. Yes, I ::m worth $"20X0, and have got a wad of sjWJU right lere in my pocket. Think of the jhange in my situation. This is our arst meetfng since that memorable lay, although I have thought of you laily. Put it there, old man!" "1'es." "Haven't forgotten you." "No?" "And 1 never shall. God bless you! Ciood morning. Got an engagement at iharp 11."
He passed on, and the other sat some minutes in deep thought. All of a sudden he rose up and looked after the vanished man and exclaimed:' •Yes, but he didn't even offer to re:urn my $20, without interest." —-New irork Sun.
Lawyi»r and Uolilior.
A lawye'* awoke at midnight to find a robber standing beside his bed and already in possession of his jewelry and money. "Why, mar,!" cried the lawyer, after a closer look, "you are not the robber whose case pleaded in court only two or three days i«-p?"' "The same." "And my plea was so successful that the jurv acquitted vou!" "Yes." "And, alas! you now come to rob me, your benefactor!" "Business is business," replied the robber.
-'I
hired you with coM cash
to plead my case. I must now rob you to get back what I paid you." "But I'll send you to prison for this." "Perhaps, but I hope not. ^his time my spoils will enable me to employ even a better attorney than you are. Good-by, old fel—see you latter."
Moral: Business should always be done for spot cash.
