Conokess convenes next Monday The society reporter of the Chicago Herald, who should be posted in such matters, asserts that “a female with h cigarette scented breath is about as kissahle au object as an aged he goat.” The friends of Harrison are scared ; they feel it in their bones that McKinley is the coming man in the Republican party and that Harrison is a back number, if the McKinley boom is not punctured, and that right soon. To the end that Harrison’s

Committee held a meeting, at Indi anapolis, on Tuesday, at which an attempt was made to brace up and pull the party together, hut the Harrison and McKinley factions would not he pulled together; in fact, the more they were pulled together the wider

they were apart.

Mr. Wilson, the C. .irman of the Committee suggests that the main fertures of the bill are ‘ the adoption, whenever it seemed practicable, of ad valorem instead of specific duties,’ and “the freeing from taxes of those great materials of industry that lie at the basis of production.” In the latter respect consists the boldest innova-

tion of the bill.

“No; the members of this Congress derived their title and commissions from the people under the election of 1892, and that was the only time the people had spoken to them and they should heed.” When asked what protected artic e manufactured in this State and disirict he wanted to see on the free list, he said: “I do not believe that there is a single protected industry in Indiaca

Mr. Cooper continued by saying that he was in favor of an income tax. As to a tax on whisky and beer, he said : “I am in favor of a dollar tax on whisky, and the same rate ot tsx on alcohol in beer.” The Outlook.

interest and importance hinge upon the forthcoming message of the President and the report of the Secretary of the Treasury. For our part, we entertain great expectations of those documents. The worst enemy of Mr. Cleveland can not say that he is not a master of deliberate statement, not even surpssed by Mr. Carlisle, whose logical lucidity and power constitute so large a part of his claim to eminence. The party has both of them to draw upon and to lean upon. The Hawaiian incident may blow into proportions, and in that event the incisive unanswerable report of the Secretary of State would furnish us, if evidence were wanted, ample proof that in the great department of foreign aftairs we have nothing to apprehend whilst they are directed by Mr. Gresham. In short, the administration as constituted, with these three statesmen at its head, is a strong adminis-

trench, but were rescued alive. Hardly a building in the city escaped uninjured and reports of damage done in all parts of the province where the earthquake was felt are still coining in. In the Country Diatrlet. In the country district the same state of affairs prevailed. A number of the flimsy structures in which the inhabitants lived were blown down by the wind, which in many cases accompanied the earthquake, and the affrighted inhabitants rushed aimlessly about, often receiving injury. The earthquake was most felt along the section of the St Lawrence river between Montreal and Quebec cities. A number of casualties have occurred in the country districts, but full reports from there have not been received. It will be found, however, that great loss will have been entailed on farmers.

Boston, Nov. 28.—A severe earthquake shock was felt throughout north-

from the Democrats of the country. Thus far in that direction Democrats have had only encouragement. The President has done nothing, said nothing to justify the least reproach. He has urged the redemption of the pledges ofthe platform. He has filled the offices wit n good Democrats. He is the same man he was when he was nominated and elected. The party that nominated and elected him is the same party. If we are right, we are right; it we are wrong, we are wrong. On this line the way is as straight and broad and open for us as it is for the Republicans, and, if we pursue it with courage and integrity to the close, we shall gain honest politics, and a fair issue and judgment, if we gain nothing else, and those are ends worth fight-

ing for.

In a word, Democrats musthang together. They must get upon the platform. They must support the administration, because by it the party is bound to stand or fall. Whetner gentlemen like or dislike Mr. Cleveland, personally, is wholly outside the question. For the time being he is our leader, and we can not afford to deny him or to quibble with him over questions of patronage or minor matters of policy. The maintenance of what we have won is the object, discipline the indispensahlecondition, and if out of the stunning blow we have received right between the eyes good feeling and good order emanate, we shall be none the worse, but all the better, for bruises that are painful and for scars that seem for the moment very lurid

and numerous.

Let the Democrats in Congress proceed to do their duty, and let them do it as speedily as may he without incautions precipitation. Let them repeal to McKinley abomination and enact a tariff measure on revenue lines. Let them complete the repeal of the election laws. Let them pass the needful appropriation bills. Then let them adjouin not later than the 4th of July, if as late as that, and go home to fight

the good fight for the right.

The Protectionist snake was scotched, not killed, by the landslides of 1890 and 1892. The Republican party, though greatly reduced in effective strength, is still potent for mischief, compactly organized and led by astute politicians. The business panic, the stagnation that followed the inaction and resentment of the disgruntled and disappointed expectants, the disgust of intelligent and independent voters over the incompetency and senility of the Senate, have stayed for a moment the How of the Democratic tide. But, if Democrats are brave and wise, it will be only for a moment. Under the patriotic, sag-

nip ofthe Dem- , Congress has

Deming, N. M., Nov. 27.—Two Mexican refugees, up from the scene of the ] revolution, say that a battle occurred in Boca Grande county Thursday. The Mexican troops, numbering several hundred, were surrounded by the rebels in ambush and great slaughter resulted. The troops were utterly routed and

fled for their lives.

Later reports are to the effect that when the attack was made upon the troops the officers were shot down, causing a panic among the soldiers, who were killed like sheep. The battle resulted In a decisive victory for the rebels. The Yaqui Indians have joined the revolutionists There is every reason to believe the correctness of the re-

Washinoton, Nov. 27.—Tn his annual report United States Treasurer Morgan shows that the net ordinary revenues for the fiscal year 1898 were $885,819,628, an increase of $311,881,844 over those of the year before.
