That Land Slide.

In certan quarters and by certain people much ado is made over the recent state and county clecti i'S. Our Republican Iriends semi to be really alarmed cst all oiher parties disband and come stampeding into their camp. We think they need have io seri< us apprehension upon this point, for just such political mud slides have been exper.enced in this country before, and at the foil wing election the people seemed to be divided about even politically. We saw’ one, Grover Cleveland, elected governor of New Yoak, by over one lundred and ninety thousand majority and in two years we ,aw him carry the same state by out a few hundred. In 1882 a Democratic wave swept over this country carrying everything before it, but at the next election things evened up pretty well and neither party had complete control. In ISB4 a Democratic president and a Democratic congress was elected, but soon a change of sentiment set in and in four years a Republican lands dr* swept the country and Democracy was thought to be entirely lost, but through Republican corruption and mismanagement, the Democrats came back into power in '92 with majorities too Li to count. In ’93 we have apparently a change of political sentiment. This apparent change, unlike other changes, has shown itself only in state and county elections, unfortunately for the victors there were < > congress en electee last Tuesday; unfortunately for the victors this land slide came a year too soon. This great panic we have had for the last six months is the principal factor that brought about the change. Wicked and designing men have taken advantage of the people’s prejudice and poverty and made the Democratic party suffer at the poles for crimes the Republican party has committed. This panic came through Republican financial legislation, but many people have been led to think the tariff brought it about. Time and Democratic legislation will show that teriff, either real or immaginary, had nothing to do with it. When the present tariff is acted upon by the present congress an the laboring men find that they can scarcely tell Wilson and McKinley tariff apart they will find that they were deceived in 1893. This Republican victory will react, ii is really an jnjury to the party, while to the Democrats it will show to them that they do not own the world; that they must be cautious; that bosses cannot always have their own way; that their best men must be nominated if they expect to succeed. The Pilot would gladly see one or the other of the old parties knocked out, we care not which one, with one of them gone new’ questions and proper questions wonld come before the people sooner than they will come with the two old frauds fighting over twedle-dee and twedle-dum. ‘Cleveland is bigger than his party.” Well that is not saying he is very big, if we measure his parity by its v ork last Tuesday.

Our Dan Again.

The Washington (D. C.) Evening News says that Dan Voorhees will take up the cause of the pensioners early in the regular session of congress. He expects to make a speech on the pension policy of the administration, in which we will defend the old soldiers. The speech which he is now’ preparing to deliver on the pension question will be a rebuke of Secretauy Hoke Smith’s pension policy. We have no doubt that the old soldiers over the country who have had their names stricken off the pension rolls and also those who have for many years, been trying to secure pensions will be pleased to know’ that our Dan has undertaken the task of championing the rights of these old veterans toward the speedy passage and recommendation of pension bills. Dan knows just how to strike the popular chord. He has been there before, and it matters not what question comes up his constituents know not upon which side their champion will appear. We doubt if there is a veteran in the country that has the war record of Dan Voorhees. It is not a hard thing to do, to just merely call up the days in the Sixties. At that time, the Knight of the Golden Circle had no better friend than Dan Voorhees, and to-day he turns np as the friend of the soldier. There is where your India rubber brain comes in play. Let us see, didn't Dan make a speech once upon a time, w’hen he said every soldier snould wear a collar, upon which should be branded these words “A Lincoln, His Dog”. Isn’t this peculiary interesting to our Democratic ex-soldier? We should think it w’ould be. Still after him calling them “Lincoln dogs,” “Lincoln hirelings” and other outrageous and blasphemous names, they who so nobly fought tor the preservation of this good land of ours, will vote for and endorse the policy of the present Democratic administration. We cannot see how in the name of good, common sense they can ever follow the teachings of Dan Voorhees. He is certainly a man with a record, but w’ho would care to shoulder it? That's right, Dan, go ahead, you nave some private object in view or you would never undertake what you are now trying to do.

The Indianapolis Journal says: “The average American citizen does not like a sneak. Hoke Smith is managing the pension department from a sneak basis, and is not making friends for himself or his administration by so doing. Even those who believe that the pension list needs revising do not approve of underhand methods or of the refusal to give the pensioner a chance to prove anew the justice of his claim before his little stipend is taken from him.” At the blowout Saturday night a little five year old philosopher was heard to say: “Pa when everybody gets to be Republicans and all the people vote our ticket will we have bonfires, blowing horns and big shooting?” Well, no. son; yes, really we do not want everybody Republicans even if our party is right, we want somebody against us, we want another party to abuse and lay our own meanness to.

There is no more harm for half the common Democrats to vote with the Republicans on on election day than for half of the Democratic U. S. senators and representatives to vote with them in congress in support of measures the Democratic party has denounced for twenty years. It is the other fellow that is now saying “Old Cleveland did it.” With whom did the slums of the cities vote last Tuesday.

A New Departure.

In next week's issue of the Pilot we will begin the publication of an article that should be read by all of >ur subscribers, and they in turn should have their friends read it. The article is from the scientific pen of C. W. Cram, M. D. and is on “The Slave Power and the Money Power. ” The article was was originally published in “The Arena,’’ one of the most scientific and non partisan magazine that is published. It taxes up all national questions and deals with them from a logical standpoint, and not in a partisan manner. The article which we shall publish, • takes up the slave qustion, from its very introduction until the issuance of the emancipation proclamation by Abraham LiHColn. On the other hand it takes up the money question, from the opening of the bank to the present day, and contrasts and compares the immensity of these two evils. It is a thing that is important to very intelligent voter in the land. The question should be understood by all and we believe that the article which we shall publish to be one of the most explanatory papers we have ever been privileged to peruse. We hope it will meet the approbation of our reader. Remember it commences in next week’s Pilot, so don’t miss the opening chapter. The time was, and not many years ago too, when the Republicans of this town W’ould never have thought of jollyfying over Republican victories in a few states and county elections, and especially when those victories were in distant states that are reliably Republican.

Washington Letter.

From our Regular Correspondent. Washington, Nov. 10, 1893. The Washington presidentmakers have been busy since the result of last Tuesday’s political flop became known—by the way, political flops are becoming fashionable. The aforesaid president-makers, who, whatever their actual knowledge, think they know it all, are positive that the verdict in New York and lowa has removed Senator Hill and Governor Boies from the list of Democratic possibilities, and that Governor McKinley’s overwhelming majority in Ohio has given him a clear field for the Republican nomination in ’96, To back up their last assertion they recall the words spoken here just before the election by three of the most prominent members of their party: Senator Aldrich—“lf McKinley gets 30,000 or 40,000 over his competitor you can afford to watch him in ’96. He will, I believe, be the logical candidate for the presidency.” Senator Allison—“To my mind, McKinley is the logical candidate in 1896, if it transpires that tariff has been the principal issue in Ohio and he wins an unusual victory—sectires a majority of say 30,000 or 40,000.” ExSpeaker Reed—“lf Governor McKinley is re-elected by 40,000 plurality he will be the Republican standard bearer in 1896, unless he commits some great error, and that is not at all probable.” The would-be prophets do not forget to point out the significance of Gov. McKinley’s having received double the plurality mentioned by either of the gentlemen, two of whom have been themselves regarded as presidentiad possibilities, as necessary to make him the candidate of his party in ’96, all of which sounds very pretty, but all the same experience teaches that nothing in politics is certain that is three years off.

The political flop in the great states of New York, lowa and Massachusetts, to say nothing of unexpected changes in seven out of the other ten states that held elections this week has alarmed the professional politicians, even those who belong to the party which gets the benefit of the changes. They fear that the era of the political boss is drawing to a close; that the votes of the people will soon cease to be controlled by party ties, regardless of their individual opinions. In short that the time will soon arrive—it has come already in a number of states, as was proven last Tuesday ans at the last presidential election—when the

result of an election will not be known until the votes are cast and counted. The |>eople at large have nothing to lose by the discomfiture of professional politicians, no matter which party they may claim allegiance to. President Cleveland and his cabinet are about in the position occupied by Mr, Harrison and his cabinet one year ago this week—they are too busy—the president on his message to congress and the members of cabinet on their annual reports —to discuss the elections. There is a difference, however, this administration will not go out of office next March. “There’s a man,” said an old gentleman to a companion, apparently his son, at the same time pointing to a lawyer mak ing an argument before the Supreme Court, “who is scarcely known to the present generation* outside of the immediate neighborhood of his home; and yet he was a prominent member of the U. S. senate during the most thrilling scenes in its history; was one of the Republican senators who helped to change the whole course of American history by refusing to vote for the impeachment of President Johnson.” The gentleman referred to was Hon. J. R. Doolittle, exsenator from Wisconsin, who, although well advanced in years and somewhat infirm physically, is still able to cope intellectually with the ablest members of the bar of the Supreme Court.

A meeting of the big tobacco manufacturers was held here this week for the purpose of making arrangements to bring pressure to bear upon congress in favor of the restoration of the tax on leaf tobacco when sold in small quantities. A congressman who represents a tobacco growing district said of this move: “These manufacturers, nearly all of whom are rich or else rapidly growing so, are actually envious of the picayune traffic in leaf tobacco that is carried on by the small growers of the leaf. They think that if a tax was put upon the natural leaf it would cause those who now buy the natural leaf because it can be had a little cheaper to buy the manufactured article.” Secretary Carlisle’s visit to New York was much discussed among the members of congress and other politicians in Washington this week. It was boldly stated by those not friendly to the financial policy of the admin'istration that Mr. Carlisle was in New York for the purpose of consulting with the very Wall street bankers w’hose advice he has been credited with having so scornfully “turned down”-a few weeks ago. The administration men admitted that he was in New York on important financial business, but denied that it was to consult with Wall street bankers.

The Best Plaster.—Dampen a piece of flannel with Chamberlain’s Pain Balm and bind it on over the seat of pain. It is better than any plaster. When the lungs are soie such an application on the chest and another on the back, between the shoulder blades, will often prevent pneu monia. There is nothing so good for a lame back or a pain in the side. A sore throat can nearly always be cured in one night by applying a flannel bandage dampened with Pain Balm. 50 cent bottles for sale by F. B. Meyer, the druggist. Mr. Wm. M. Terry, who has been in the drug business at Elkton. Ky., for the past twelve years, says: “Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy gives better satisfaction than any other cough medicine I have ever sold.” There is good reason for this. No other will cure a cold so quickly; no other is so certain a preventative and cure for croup; no other affords so much relief in cases of whooping cough. For sale by F. B. Meyer, the druggist.

The Wakarusha Diteh.

On last Monday Benjamin R. Faris, John Martindale and O. P. Tabor, commissioners for Jasper county, met in joint session with James M. Dye, Perry Spe cer and John M. Russell, commissioners for White county, to hear the proceedings of the long standing Wakarusha ditch case. Frank Foltz acting as attorney for the petitioners and C. E. Mills, J. W. Douthit' and M. F. Chilcote acting for Sellers and Uhl. The demurrer to the 17th and 18th, exceptions of Ida Belle Brown et al, was sustained, while the demurrers to the 23rd and 24th were overruled, and the petitioners then filed a reply to the exceptions of Ida Belle Brown, James Hill and C. W. Horner, and a motion was also filed to dismiss both the petition and proceedings. The joint board men heard the proof and arguments of the counsel and find for the exceptions. Wilson Van Meter had been previously appointed as one of the viewers, but was disqualified on the grounds that he was akin to John W. and Emetine Van Meter and John W. Powell, owners of certain lands that had been assessed. The board then ordered all proceedings from the present, bacK to and including the appointment of Van Meter to be set aside and overruled. The board then adjourned to meet on Tuesday morning. The two ooards were again called together on Tuesday morning and the argument of the motion to dismiss by Ida Belle Brown et al, was then heard and the boards decided to take the same under advisement until next Tuesday, Nov. 21, at 10 o’ciocK. The ooards then adjourned.
