It is only thrco weeks away from Mr. Cleveland's election, and yet there are clouds on tho Democratic horizon. Not a Populist will appear in the next House from the South, and yet, as Into us October, tho managers counted enough to give them the balance of power. Speaker Citisr has gone to New York on tho request of W. C. Whitney to attend a conference of Democratic leadcrs relative to the expediency of calling an extra session of Congress. Mr. Crisp favors it. - OriNiON iu regard to opening the world's fair on Sunday seems to be divided on this line: Those who believe that the Sabbath was made for man favor Sunday opening, while those who think man was made for the Sabbath oppose it. s i b The suggestion of Controller Hepburn that two-per-ccnt. bonds bo exchanged for the four-per-cents. at their market value as a basis for bank circulation will be lost upon Congress. It would, nevertheless, place tho national banking system upon a sure foundation. It is a beautiful state of things when a member of the Board of Public Safety under our boasted reform city government is trying to secure the mayoralty by standing in with the gamblers and saloon-keepers, while the police judge is trying to secure his renomination by imposing nominal fines on offenders of the samo class and fraternising with them off the bench. A free-tkade organ in St. Louis, in explaining' the cause of five thousand persons being unemployed in that city. Ends a portion of it in the "shutting down" of one of the city's industries. If the closing of one industry throws hundreds out of employment what may be expected from a policy which opens the American markets to thousands of competing' industries in Europe by cutting' down the duties! v The sugar-planters in Louisiana are urging leading Democrats in Congress and Mr. Cleveland to have the sugar bounty abolished and a modified duty imposed. They represent lhat 500,000 people depend upon the sugar industry, and urgo that as a reason for the imposition of a duty on raw sugars. From the Cleveland point of view that is no reason why a duty should be placed upon sugar. At least 500,000 people depend, to some extent, upon wool-growing for a living, yet tho Cleveland party insist that wool shall be put upon tho free list. ' TnE action of a jnstico of the peace in Corydon in releasing a man against whom thore was alleged to be evidence to convict him of manslaughter, if not murder, goes to show that there aro counties in Indiana, like whole States in the South, in which Democrats may take human life with impunity. That a man who took human life under the circum-' stances reported in Corydon should be permitted to have bail would be calculated to cheapen the crimo of murder, but to have a justlco of the peace pass upon such a crime is an offense for which there should bo law and penalty. TnE fact that Mrv Cleveland has bought a set of harness of an English firm, paying 600 therefor, has caused a great deal of comment among manufacturers and dealers in New York, who claim that tho goods Mr. Cleveland parchased are of inferior workmanship and that he paid $100 more than a better American-made set would have cost. The goods were not bought of an importer but of an agent of n British firm. That is, when business is well established in this country under free trade, Brkish houses will have only agencies in our cities for tho sale of their goods, and British "bagmen" will take the place, in part at least, of tho American commercial traveler. The official vote in Indiana for tho first elector on each presidential ticket is: Cleveland, 202,740; Harrison, 2oo,G15; Weaver, 22,208; Bid well, 13,0o0 a plurality for Mr. Cleveland of 7,125. The vote in 1&S9 was as follows: Harrison, 2C3.3G1; Cleveland, 201.013; Fisk, Prohibitionist, 0,881; Streeter, Labor Union, 2.G04. The total vote this year waa 553,613, against 5GG.049 in 1883. General Harrison's vote in lSS8waetC21 grenter than Mr. Cleveland's this year. It appears that while 202,740 voters voted for tho first elector on the Democratic ticket, the elector representing tho Thirteenth district received only 200,t33, or 2.207 votes less than tho headN of the ticket, while one of tho district electDra on the Republican ticket received 1,843 votes less than the first name. That is, 4,0o3 citizens who intended to vote the whole presidential ticket failed

through ignorance or carelessness to vote for but one or two names. And yet, week after week, hundreds of papers told voters to stamp in the eaglo or rooster squares to vote for President in full, and thousands of sample ballots were sent cut to instruct them.

WABTED-A POLICY. IBBBSBlSaB Among the various causes assigned for the recent defeat of the Republican party none has been more frequently mentioned than the general discontent of workingmen with a condition under which they had been made to believe tho rich, were growing richer and the poor were growing poorer. This is a false and mischievous phrnse, and there is no other civilized country iri the world where it is as littlo true and applicable as in the United States. In no other country is wealth as widely and evenly distributed, and nowhere else are tho ranks of capitalists as constantly recruited from those of wage-workers as they are in this country. It is not truo that all the rich aro growing richer and all the poor aro growing poorer. On the contrary, many of the rich today are poor to-morrow, and vice versa. Nearly all our capitalists began life poor, and the sons of many of them will leave off where their fathers began. Intelligent, and enterprising workingmen are constantly getting on in life and becoming capitalists and employers. There is not & city of any sizo in the - country that does not contain many examples of this kind. It is too plain for argument that the statement that tho rich are growing richerand tho poor poorer is not true. It is a catch phrase of , demagogues. Nevertheless, it has been dinned into the oars of the people until . a very largo number of them were led to believe it true and to vote for the Democratic party, belioving it would inaugurate a change. As much as anything else tho lato Democratic victory means that a majority of the people demand tho establishment of - a policy under which more persons will become moderately rich and a fewer number very rich. This is" tho problem to. which tho Whitneys, Brices, Villards and other millionaire leaders of tho Democratic party should address'themselves. As a preliminary perhaps thoy had better make a now divide of their own wealth. At all events they are pledged to do something. The Republican party has no responsibility in tho matter. It has established and maintained n policy under which any man can grow rich if he has the natural ability and goes about it in the right way, and under which hundreds of thousands of poor men have grown rich. What is the new Democratic policy to be! DEM0CBATS QUALIFYING FOB OFFICE. Among all the evidences of devotion to party which have been given by Democrats since tho recent election we have seen none more striking than that afforded by Professor Thomas Bagot, of New Castle, Ind. There is abundant evidence, as Mr. Cleveland can testify, that Democrats throughout the country are determined to extend tho next administration a cordial support in the way of office-holding, thus assuring the government against collapse and failure in a vital part, but we doubt if any person has shown as keen an appreciation of the situation and as much willingness to sacrifice his personal comfort on the altar of patriotism as the gentleman above named. Professor Bagot is not merely willing to hold office under the next administration, but he is willing to experience real inconvenience and discomfort in order to qualify himsolf. Having concluded that it was his duty to tender his services as minister to Sweden, and being well assured from a consciousness of his own merit that, he will receive the appointment, he hns gono into training for tho position after a novel and practical fashion. In order to accustom himsolf to tho supposed rigors of the climate at Stockholm he has been going without an overcoat ever since the election. It is possible the Professor may be somewhat in error on this point, as tho climate at Stockholm is not extremely seyere, or it may bo ho thinks his duties as minister will require him to spend a good deal of time in Lapland, which, of course, is a mistake. But this is not material; the point is that, having decided to accept the office, he has at once set about qualifying himself for the position ina way that shows his perfect sincerity and determination to do his duty to tho best of his ability. Some persons would probably havo begun to study the language and, perhaps, the history of tho country, but Professor Bagot evidently thinks these can come later. The best place to learn tho language of n country is in tho country itsolf and among its people. lie can do that after he goes to Sweden, if helives, and in order to live he must be prepared to survive the change of climate. The process of becoming acclimated is always more or less trying, and should be guarded against as far as possible by previous preparation. It is not every one who hits upon so simple and practical n method of doing this as Professor Bagothasdone. Assuming that in common with most citizens of Indiana he is in tho habit of wearing an overcoat in cold weather, nothing is easier for him than to leavo it off from now until tho inauguration of Mr. Cleveland, by which time, if all goes well, he ought to be pretty tough and able to stand any reasonable degiee of cold without suffering. Of course he will find that people in Stockholm wear wraps in winter, but it will be a satisfaction to him to go without one and yet be able to assure his Swedish friends that he docs not feel the cold at all. This will give them an exalted opinion of American endurance and will probably bo a matter of great surprise to his brother dlploraates from the warmer countries of southern Europe. Besides, there is economy in going without an overcoat. Wo do not know what Profcesor Bagot's pecuniary circumstances are, but if he is not a person of some means he may find it advisable to lay up a littlo money before starting for Europe. Unless he receives his appointment by telegraph before leaving Now Castle he may have to remain in Washington two or three ,weoks before, ho

gets his commission. It will be a busy time with tho new administration, and things will have to take their turn. Washington is an expensive city, and , if the Professor should have to wait two or three weeks for his commission he will be right glad to have some ready money with him. The price of an overcoat would go far towards keeping him at a respectable .boarding-honse for the full period of two weeks. His salary as minister will begin as sotfU as ho is appointed, but he cannot draw any part of it until the end of tho first quarter, and the government does not allow anything for traveling expenses. In other words, he will have to pay his own expenses out. For theso reasons his going without an overcoat this winter are wise from a financial as well as from a climatic point of view. If ho felt disposed to carry the experiment a little further and go without underclothing as well as an overcoat, it might' be still better. This would involve additional discomfort and somo risk, but what are. these to a Democrat compared with the patriotic satisfaction of giving Mr. Cleveland's administration a hearty and loyal support? The example set by Prof. Bagot ought to stimulate thousands of Democrats to a similar line of action. There will be a largo number of foreign appointments to bo mado after the 4th of March next, including ministers, secretaries of legations, consuls, consularagents,etc. Democrats who are willing to take these places ought to begin togotreadyatonce, so there need be no unnecessary delay when Mr. Cleveland gets ready to make the appointments. They should get a list of the offices, select the one they want, and then go :nto training. If they select a cold climate they should adopt Professor Bagot's plan of going without an overcoat dnring'tho coining winter, and if a very cold one, they had better discard underwear and take an ice-cold bath every morning. The bath will not hurt them anyhow. If they concludo to go to a tropical climate an opposite course of treatment should bo adopted something that will accustom them to a high degree of heat. If nothing betteroccurs, sitting by a hot fire enveloped in heavy blankets and drinking a pint of hot water every hour might serve to get up a tropical .heat. Theso things involve somo trouble, but every Democrat who feels a real interest in tho success of tho next administration

ougnt to Do wining to noia some oilico. a a tr THE TWO DEH0CBAT10 FACTIOUS. - Three weeks after the election it is very evident that tho leaders of the, Democratic party are divided into two factions regarding the tariY. The smaller but more potential element, chiefly in the' East, composed of men liko Whitney, Senators Gorman, Brice and Mcpherson of New Jersey, Gov. Flower, in short, the element which is in touch with the business1 and enterprise of the country, is opposed to any general tariff legislation. If they could have their way they would leave' the McKinley law. very much . as it is. Despite his professions to the-cdnt&Yy,! Mr. Cleveland is likely to share tho opinions of this financially powerful element and of the conservatives of Wall street, who have always controlled him. The other faction, which is much the larger, has convinced itself ' that; a protective tariff is a great wrong and that tho mass of. the people are hostile to it. Those who make up this clement are the demagogues and the advocates of crude theories, the solid South Democrat, who is hostile to manufacturing enterprises because he is jealous of the greater prosperity of the North, the general party1; organ-grinder in tho West and South, tho Congressmen who havo been demanding free silver coinage while all intelligent business men are against it, and, above all., that harrow and malignant type of Democrat who thinks that to be a Democrat ho must oppose, every Republican measure. In Congress they are the Millses, the Bynums, the' Blands, tho Breckinridges and tho Jerry Simpsons. Malignant prejudice takes the place of intelligent conviction in their intellectual make-up. That prejudice has arrayed them against protection and in favor of free trado or a rovenue tariff. They havo made thoir constituents believe in an actual baron tariff robber and a Republican plutocracy under the McKinley law. Strange as it may seem, somo of them believe this nonsense. They have pledged themselves to overthrow the McKinley law. They will do it if they can. What will be tho outcome? There could be no question if.it was only one of repealing tho McKinley law. but since it involves the devising of a substitute the matter is in grave doubt. The solid South and the bitter demagogues of the West could carry all before them if they could agree upon a tariff bill, but they" cannot unless they take up some measure like tho Mills bill. As it stands the free-traders of the South and West have the numbers, but the Whitnoys, tho Gbrraans and the East have the brains. Uncertainty is the resnlt, and nothing is worse than uncertainty for the business and industry of the country; At the recent election 053,013 of tho votes polled in Indiana were "counted, of which 290,873 were given to candidates hostile to the Democracy a majority of 29,133. It is estimated that 10,000 votes were rejected, of which 7,000 were antiDemocratic and 3,000 Democratic, giving 4,000 more voters who were against Democratic control. Stranger things have happened in politics in two years than the combination of theso voters hostilo to, the Democracy in Indiana to overthrow it. Two years hence, on a platform of State issues, 6uch as economy of State expenditures, a modern system of taxation, tho overthrow of the gerrymander, reform in county management, with the natural reaction of the disgruntled Democracy, an overturn is more than possible. . IlAKrr.R's Wekklt lays down mugwump law and advice to Mr. Cleveland in an editorial article who9o three columns, of length would havo filled tho soul of George William Curtis with dismay. After oficring patronizing com

mendation to his supposed objection to spoilsmen tho writer says: "It is by no means impossible than in his struggle with the spoils politicians of his party Mr. Cleveland will bo compelled distinctly to choo3o between tho favor of the party machines, bosses, and patron -age-moBgera and the retention with the Democracy of those patriotic and enlightened elements which recently joined it and gave it its present strength. We trust that in such an emergency Mr. Cleveland's decision will be prompt and uncompromising." In view of the current report that Mr. Carl Schurz, "who. recently joined" the Democratic party, is at present editorial writer for Harper's Weekly, and tho further circumstance that his frionds are urging Cleveland to appoint him to some high office, the foregoing bit of counsel is significant if not disinterested.

Chicago newspapers and Chicago people are clamorously insisting that extortionate prices are not to prevail in that citv during th world's fair, but a certain wellknown gentleman of Indianapolis is of the opinion these vociferations are not based on facts, at least as to the matter of honee rent. Wishing to engage as modest furnis&ed houso for the summer months, he recently applied to a rental agent and received the following response: "Wo have to rent on the South Side the following: House, twonty-Gve feet wide, six bedrooms. Z"Q0 per month; house, twenty-two feet wide, seven bedrooms, 500 per month (both of these houses can be rented for a period of five months); house, twelve rooms, $C00 per month." As the Journal remarked some time a to, residents' of this city will find it less expensive to board at home and spend a day at Chicago when they feel like it, even if the railroad companies do not reduce the fare. Tiiey teach the art or cooking in Philadelphia public schools, and a class of ten girls, under the direction of a teacher, cooked a dinner in sight of the crowd of visitors at the food exhibition in that city last week. The dinner consisted of the following dishes: Tomato soup, scalloped mutton, tomato sauce, mashed potatoes, stowed eelery and floating island. It took the girls fifty-seven minutes to prepare the dinner, including the time taken in cleaning up the dishes and utensils. The food was then passed around, and all who dared to venture tasted it and pronounced it good. There are objections to making the publio schools a vehicle for all classes of manual instruction, but if girls cannot be taught how to cook in their own homes, it is better that they should learn in school than nowhere. Few things connected with daily life are of such importance. J. E. R., Huntington, Ind.: The case you state involves too many conditions to be answered oft band.

Here will be established! a email community of students prospective ministers of the gospel who will study social problems at first bands. "The settlement will not be a mission." Prof, Taylor said this afternoon. "The ordinary student, in preparing for the ministry, is edueated away from the people. The idea of the seminary social settlement is to bring him intouch with the people. When tho department has been fully organized students will be sent into the police courts to study life there.and the divorcejoourts will not be neglected."

CUISP'S TARIFF VIEWS. He Now Wants Complete Revision, Though. Elected Speaker rs a Semi-Protectionist Special to tjie Indianapolis Journal. Washington', Nov. 8. Speaker Crisp is in New York to-night. He is thore to consult party leaders on party politics. Just beforo he left here for Gotham be gave to your correspondent his views as to the course which should be taken on the tariff question in the coming Congress: "There will unquestionably be." said the Speaker, "a general revision of the - whole tariff schedule, now that the Democrats have both houses of Congress and the presidency. There will be no excuse for anything but a thorough overhauling of the present law, in accordance with the views and promises which have been so persistently proclaimed by our party. The conditions have been entfrely different in this Congress, when we formed the plan of attacking the MoKinley law at different points by means of special bills. The Senate being Republican the' Democrats of the House appreciated the futility of wasting time in the preparation of a general bill, knowing, as they did, the certain fate which would await it in the Sentte. It was, however, believed that certain of the Republican Senators might yield to pressure exerted upon them from their own States, and support a bill providing for tariff revision in soma one important particular. Tho probability that they might do so, although not strong, was too good cot to make it the duty of the Democrats to embrace the opportunity of thus serving their constituents in that way, and the result was tho adoption of tho 'piecemeal' style of, legislation, which met with opposition in somu quarters. With the next Congresvhowever, there will be no such conditions to contend against, and .tho Democratic party is bound by all its pledges to give the country that general meusnre of tariff reform which, in the belief of the party, will give the people that relief from taxation which is so earnestly desired. The bill to be adopted will not, in my judgment, be anything approaching to what our Republican friends might term a tree-trade measure. It will be an ell'ort to place the tariff on a revenue base. Such a measure cannot bo prepared in a ' short space of time. The various Interests concerned will have to be heard in their own behalf, and where a moderate decree of protection may appear to be necessary for the good of the country, it will, I should think, be aocorded." "What do you think of the suggestion made by ei-Gov. Chauncey F. black, of Pennsylvania, that Mr. Cleveland's Secretary of the Treasury should prepare a tariff measure for submission to the Democratic Contiress when it assembles in regular session?" "No one roan can frame a tariff billfor the Democratic party," was Sir. Crisp's reply. "The plan woula save no time. The Congressmen and. Senators who have been 'elected from their several constituencies, and represent the desires ' oi the people, would necessarily require to have something to do , with tho preparation of a measure so intimately associated with the material interests of their people; consequently, if the Secretary of the Treasury were to prepare such a bill, it would all have to bo done over again by Congress. I believe that there should be no time lost in giving the people the change they have demanded, and the Democrats should take the earliest possible steps toward reaohing this end." Speaker Crisp went on to discuss the number of applicants for office who would undoubtedly crowd into Washington after Mr. Cleveland's inauguration, and he gave it as his opinion that those chunges which were necessary to be made should be made as speedily as possible. "If I were President," said he. "I would have It understood from, tho beginning that I would hold each member of Congress and each Senator personally responsible for the fitness of the person whose application they indorse. I would let them understand that I wanted theoillces filled by the very best men obtainable, and that if there should turnout to bo anything wrong with tbeman who receives an appointment on their recommendations that they should have no further patronage. With regard to the State appointments I would lose no time in making them. There are two district marshals and two district attorneys to each State. Generally speaking, I would take tho States in their order, and, calling the Representatives and Senators in consultation, I would' have them lix upon the men whom they wanted to fill these positions and have them appointed without delay. In case there was to be no removal until the expiration of the incumbent's term I would have it, understood from the beginning. The more delay there is in this matter the mure applicants there are to ho considered. and the trouble of making the selection becomes proportionally greater. At New York to-day Speaker Crisp was asked by a reporter what he thought about the plan suggested by Senator Jones, of Arkansas, to use tho $100,003,000 gold reserve fund in the Treasury. "I think," said Crisp, "that when tho Secretary of the Treasury makes his report it will be found that tue glOO.000,000 gold m reserve has already had a raid upon it. The Senator suggests that we use $50,000,000, and leavo that amount as a reserve. Well, if the firot 50.000.000 has been partially used the Senator will have to make another suggestion." SenatorMills. talking about the prospects for revenue reform, said: "The Democrats will in the next Congress undoubtedly pats a low tariff on the basis of revenue only. There must bo free raw materials, and then the tax must be placed upon the manufactured article." TUE NICARAGUA CAMAL. Warner Miller Maikre a 1'oint In Favor of Uncle Sam Taking an Interest In It Special to tho Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Nov. 2S. Ex-Senator Warner Miller says the trouble oer the Panama canal, which began in the French Assembly and is now having a sequel in this country, will have the good effect of opening the eyes of the American people to the necessity of a canal entirely controlled by American capital and subject to the regulations of the American Congress. Mr. Miller is president of the Nicaragua Canal Company, and is in Washington to submit the annual report of the company to the federal authorities. "Many people seem to regard the Nicaragua canal as a purefy speculative private concern," said he, "but it is much more than that, and the hold which French capital has secured on the Panama railroad will, I think, demonstrate the need of a public and governmental in-N terest in the Nicaragua project. Tho Panama railroad was originally chartered in New York, and was then sold out to the Frenchmen, so that wo now have the queer situation of a canal in Panama chartered in New York aud owned in Paris; and yet this complicated situatiou is the one which surrounds the ureal gateway between the Atlantic and 1'actlic and the natural hinhwav of trade between North and bonth America, which reciprocity has treu so anxiously foet-nntr. 1 am not here to take any part in the present l anaiuft controversy, but 1 think it cannot help creating an Araorican spirit which

will carry the Nicaragua canal through as an American institution. Ther is a measure now before Congress, framed by the Senate committee on foreign relations, which miy be considered at the coming session. -It is wholly the work of the committee, for we go on the principle that the public is as much interested in the project as the canal stockholder." President Harrison is said to be taking a keen interest in the affairs of the Isthmus of Panama, and it is stated tnat he may treat the subject in his message to Concress. President Ilarrison has long advocated American coutrolof the Nicarnfruan canal, and he is reported to take the same view of the Panama canal; and while be may not advocate the extreme measure of sending a fleet of American men-of-war to the isthmus for the purpose of attempting to enforce by sheer power the American rights which were guaranteed by the charter of tho Panama canal, he is said to advocate some measure at tLo hands of Congress which will keep the canal within at least suilicient control of citizens of the United States to guarantee tho strict enforcement of the Monroe doctrine. a!IM)K MATTERS.

Markets of San Salvador Opened by m Newly-Signed Reel prod ty Treaty. Washington. Nov. $. The transitory commercial arrangement between tho United States and the republic of Salvador, which went into efleot Dec. CO, 1S21, has been superseded by an initiative arrangement, the agreements to which wera exchanged on the 23d of November, at Managua, by the Minister of Foreiga Affairs, under the authority of the Congress of Salvador and the representative of the United States.
