Perhaps Mr. Cleveland went to New York to attend Tam many’s great remnant sale. — Minneapolis Tribune. Mr. Blount, who was sent to Hawaii to “sit on annexation,” certainly has hatched out a remarkable bird.—New York Commercial Gazette. Democratic papers tell us that it was disappointed office seekers that played the mischief with them at the late election. Land of Goshen! How many disappointed office seekers are there in that party, anyhow? The Rensselaer Republican says: “It will be next to impossible to pass a free trade bill through the senate if the Republican senators unite to oppose it.” Well, then, Brother, we will hold the Republican party responsible for any free trade measure that becomes a law this sitting of congress.

The financial burdens of the government are said to be lighter in Alabama than they are in any other state in the Union. The tax rate next year will be only five mills for state purposes; while the counties are prohibited by law from levying a tax of more than five mills, or at the rate of 50 cents on the hundred dollars. There is a special tax in some of the counties that makes the rate a little higher, but in no case is it over one and a quarter. Our Republican friends assure us that their recent victories, at the polls, will put a quietus on free trade legislation the coming .session of congress. They tell tliis assurance they have given the country of continued McKinley protection will, and really is now bringing better times. These same Republicans, within the next six or eight weeks, will be telling us of the great calamity the Democrats are i ringing upon the country by undoing Republican tariff legislation.

Does anyone think that England is not interested in America? Things are coming up every day that go to show that she is thoroughly aroused as to the present administration and is offering and receiving advices on every hand. Only last week the Washington Post quoted a telegram sent from Washington to the London Press in which the policy of the administaation, in regard to Hawaii, was foreshadowed several days ago before it was divulged to the American press. The Post says that the foreknowledge of the president's policy, as set forth in the British telegram, was visible about this time in the utterances of Claus Spreckels and other friends of the Queen, but neither the American people, in whose name these things were done, nor the provisional government, against which the administration meditated an act of war, had an inkling of the purpose of the State Department. The Post concludes with the following significant statement: “When foreign governments and stray mugwumps and outside speculators can obtain information which is scrupulously withheld from congress and the American people, an investigation, and an effective one at that, would seem to be in order.” The Post, it should be remembered, is not a Republican paper, but one of the few really independent papers in the country.

Not Dead Yet.

The Republican and Democratic newspapers over the country have been setting up a great wail that the Populists were a thing of the past. But by reading the following taken from the Chicago News of November 16, 1893, will it probably tell you a different tale: If we are to believe the reports of correspondents and the editorials written since the late elections—that is, in the press of the two old parties—populism is downed forever, and the people’s party will never again cut any figure in the political arena. Just why this statement is made prominent in all the dispatches and editorials is something of mystery. Heretofor we have been led to believe that the People’s party wasn’t worth considering, and now we find that its great influence in politics has been overthrown. In lowa and Ohio where the populists have {been lamentably weak in numbers compared with states farther west, we are told that the People’s party is no more and that the great strenght the young party has gained in these states is lost forever. That such a big fight should be waged against so small an enemy is enough evidence that the enemy has more strength than the old parties care to acknowledge, and there is hardly a populist who is not satisfied with the result, r As to the populist defeat in Kansas it amounts to practically nothing. County elections in this state never are a test of I party strength. Comparatively few Kansas farmers give a rap ' how a county election goes. If ! the day is fine they would rather i husk corn than lose the time it takes them to vote. Anyone who is acquainted with Kansas politics knows that the farmer (vote is light in an “off” year, • and of course the great strength of the People's party is the farmei’ vote. Hence the recent ; election is no test of how the .state will go next year or two years later.

i The total vote this year was 192,424, or from 75,000 to 100,000 less than the usual vote. The Republican vote was not any larger than usual, and both the Democrat and -Populist totals fall many thousand below the 1 usual number. The returns are not yet complete, but the only counties to hear from are in the far western part of the state, where the voters are few and far between. Taken altogether, there is nothing to prove that t lie pop- , ulists are wiped out of Kanasa. ■Jerry Simpson has been making :a few speeches throughout the state and has been greeted by as i big crowds as ever. i Reports from Nebraska indicate that the People’s party is I the controlling power in that J state, and although the populists were defeated in Colorado, the

. conditions were similar to those • of Kansas. If the Democrats have a single i gold standard and tariff-reform platform in 1896 and the Repub- • licans advocate a single gold I standard and tariff reduction as I the parties seem likely to do, • how either can expect to carry a silver state is question of extreme interest. The party that adopts either one of the above platforms—and they are both the same—needn’t get get drunk nowon account of carrying the western stated. The west won t stand a gold pill and the sugarcoating will have to be pretty thick to make the southners swallow it. The next presidential election will settle the Question of populists strength, and then is when we shall know something definite about the west and south.

A Disgraced Administration.

From one of our exchanges we take the following, which we believe fully covers the ground concerning the first year of Grover Clevelands’ second term. The question arises,—what if he was to get a third term? The article is as follows: “It is probably quite within the bounds of truth to say that no administration of the United States government was ever so thoroughly disgraced during its first year as the present one. To recapitulate its leading acts is to arraign it before the people. The President, by his repeated acts of usurpation and exercise of arbitrary power, has shown his utter disregard for the spirit of the Constitution. He has spoken of Congress as a body subservient to the executive. He has attempted to coerce members and dictate legislation. He has used federal patronge to pay off campaign debts and to bribe Senators and Representatives to support his policy. He has made many appointments that were notoriously unfit and indecent. Ho has encouraged heads of departments to violate the letter and ignore the spirit of the civil-service law. He has appointed and retained in office an Attorney-general who is known to be in full sympathy with corporations and trusts, and who has became odious to all who have business with him. He has appointed as Secretary of the Interior a man who is strongly prejudiced against Union soldiers, and has sustained him in a policy of proscription and presecution of deserving pensioners. His Postrgastergeneral, a former law partner, has demonstrated his unfitness for the position by his utter failure to comprehend the business wants of the country, and by his willingness to cripple the postal service by an unwise economy. His Secretary of State has attempted to wreak his personal spite against the late administration by making a wholesale attack on American citizens and American ideas, and by using all the force of the government to restore a rotten monarchy and a corrupt Queen at the cost of infinite damage to American interests. His Secretary of the Treasury has played at finance while the government revenues have fallen off from month to month and the treasury balance has reached the lowest point known in a generation. While the President and members of his Cabinet have been making this disgraceful record the country has been passing through the worst financial panic in our history, caused in very large degree by popular distrust of the party in power. While arrogance and incompetence personal vanity and personal spite have reigned at Washington. universal depression and disaster have prevailed throughout the land. Certainly, no other administration was ever so disgraced during its first year.”

Washington Letter.

From our Regular Correspondent. Washington, Nov, 17 ’93. The individuals who claim the power to hold communication with other individuals thousands of miles away, by projecting their astral bodies, whatever they may be, to the place where the peron is with whom they desire to communicate, might have done a rushing and profitable business in Washington this week, if they could have performed what they claim. There was general anxiety to learn what was going -on in Hawaii, shared by everybody from President Cleveland to the humblest private citizen. Did the provisional government of Hawaii melt away under the genial influence of an intimation from Minister Willis that this government wished it to do so, in order to le’ the Queen resume her sway? Or did the minister have to order the marines and a few gattling guns from the U. S. ships ashore in order to bring about the reseating of the dusky Queen? These are the questions that everybody has been trying to answer all the week. ' The state department got a communication from Minister Willis by the last Hawaiian mail, but it refused to divulge its nature. There is a rumor, however, from a source which has often been found trustworthy, that Minister Willis asked for further instructions, in view of his having found a dis ferent condition of affairs from what he expected and from what the administration supposed existed.

President Cleveland and the members of his Cabinet still maintain a dignified silence in the midist of the shower of hostile critism to which they have been subjected because of the position they have taken in favor of restoring the government of Hawaii to what it was before the Queen was made to abdicate and the provisional government asked for annexation to the United States, but those close to the administration stoutly maintain that when all the facts are made public there will be a revolution in public opinion. Meanwnile Madame rumor holds the fort and is making the most of the situation. There was another opportunity for the gentlemen with astral bodies to have turned an honest penny this week but somehow none of them took advantage of it. Without previous notice (to the public) President Clevland brought Mrs. Cleveland and the babies from his country residence to the White House and straightway took himself off to New York, without telling a single newspaper man why or wherefore. In the absence of correct information by means of the aforesaid astral bodies the most imaginative correspondents and reporters on the local press, proceeded to write for their papers thrilling stories about surgical operations and other pleasing happenings to the President. Mr. Cleveland is again at the White House, but he hasn’t told yet what he weqt to New York for, and by the way, he doesn’t have to tell, either. This is a free country even the President.

The pension question is going to make considerable trouble during the coming session of Congress. Senator Voorhees has announced his intention to set the ball to rolling by making an attack upon the manner in which the Pension bureau has been run by Commissioner Lochren. Of course he will backed up by all of the Republicans, and a number of Democrats have openly expressed their sympathy and some of them may try to square themselves with their soldier constituents by joining in the attack. One of the most difficult things that the Pension bureau will have to do will be to explain why it has already restored 9,000 out of. the 10,000 pensioners dropped from the rolls on suspicion of being frauds. Either their first examination was a very careless one or the bureau is easily bulldozed by protesting Congress.

Chairman Wilson, of the House Ways and Means committee, is, as the saying is, “between the devil and the deep sea,” so' far as reaching a decision upon the coal and iron schedule of the new tariff bill is concerned,.. if the gossip of Congress is true. According to this gossip, Mr. Wilson's personal inclination, as well as that of President Cleveland to whose influence he owes his positional the head of this important committee, is to put both coal and iron on the free

list. But he has been informed that a large number of his constituents wish the duty retained upon these two products of West Virginia, and that if he allows them to go on the free list he will not be elected to Congress. From the best obtainable evidence it is believed that the bill as reported will put coal and iron on the free list, but it is thought to be doubtful whether it can be passed in that shape. Ex-President Harrison’s Democratic brother got the appointment he wanted—Surveyor of Custom of Kansas City, Mo.— although both of the Missouri Senators and the entire Congressional delegation worked against him. The Missouri Senator are not wielding much influences with the appointing power; they both voted contrary to the wishes of the administration on the silver question.
