A t'aptf for revenue that don’t produce revenue is a delusion and a snare, and yet five tariffs of that character have wrought evil and disaster upon this country of ours. The sixth is geting in its work in the shape of a fifty million dollar bond issues. The full returns make the Republican plurality on Secretary of State 44.713. On the other state officers the plurality is somewhat greater, owing evidently to the fact tha!i more Democrats than Republicans stamped only the first name on their ticket, thereby losing their votes, except for that one ca ndidate.

Judge McEwen, of the Democratic Sentinel, has promulgated a decree of divorce for the Democratic and Populist parties of Jasper county. Hitherto they have been one,—and the Populists have been that one. They were united for bette’' or for worse, but being all “worse” and no “better,” for the Democrats, the Sentinel says they w. >nt have any more of it . In this respect there is no doubt but that Neighbor McEwen represents the general sentiments of the Di nmerats of the county. They are tired of being used, or of trying to be used, as catspaws to pio< out official chestnuts for the Populists; of being used as a tail for the Populist kite.

The New York Sun, Democratic in a caustic criticism of President Clevc’a d, “points its moral and adorns its tale” with the following pung.nt concluding paragraph: In short, the first effect of dev* ianl’s administration has been lo strip the Democratic party of i ven the semblance of upholding American institutions and Amt i-.vc... traditions and American rm, and to force theimtional flag, at home as well as abroad, into the keeping of the Republicans. Ibis extraordinary transfer 1..,b t.ee. witnessed mice before. Tbe Republicans first became the sole keepers of the national sentiment in 1861; and they held power for twenty-five years afterward. The old story of the white man and Indian who went hunting together, Mth an agreement to divide the game, well illustrates the relations between the Dems and Pop S in this county:

The Indian and the whit® man got a turkey and an owl. When the time for division came the whi‘»? m*in said to the Indian: . “Will you take the owl and I take the turkey; or shall I take the tuikcy and you take the owl?” The Noble Red scratched his head a while, (a proceeding always in order) and then remarked: “V h : t«.» man no talk turkey to Ingvn >.i all.” In the fusion arrangements of the Pops and the Dems, the Pops, have said tc the Dems, “will you put in the votes and we take the offices; or shall we take the offices and you put in the votes?” As the result has proved, they didnf get any offices to divide, but nevertheless the Dems are now asking why it is that they never hear- C• • Peps talk turkey, just a little bit, at least

It may help the reader to appreci ate the magnitude of the Republican victory in this state to say that no political party ever carried the state by as large a majority as was the Republican majority of Tuesday. Some of the large majorities of former years are worth noting. Going back to Ante-war times in 1856, when Buehanan ran against Fremont for president, the Democrats carried the stat? by 24,295. That was the largest majority that any party had up to that time, but four years later, when Lincoln ran for president, it was reversed, and the Republicans carried the state by 23,524. In 1862 the Democrats carried the state by 9,500. In 1864 Lincoln had 20,188 and Morton, for Governor, had 20,883. In 1866 the Republicans carried the state by 14,300. Grant had 9,572 majority in 1868 and 22,515 in 1872. Since then there have been no very large majorities either way. It will be seen, therefore, that the Republican majority of Tuesday was much larger thin the largest ever given in the state before.—Logansport Journal.

In the general ruination and wreck which has overtaken their party, the Populists derive, or pretend to at least, a great deal of consolation from the petty increase of about 7000 in their vote in this state, over that of 1892. But it is a mighty poor crumb of comfort. “What are they among so many?” The Republican increase, in the same period, is 29,880, which is four times the Populist increase, and which furthermore lacks only 55 votes of being as much as the entire Populist vote. Just think of it! The entire Populist vote in the state is only 29,935, after its '‘wonderful” increase; and the increase alone of the Republican vote in two years is 29,880! • In the light of these figures what possible prospect can any sane man»see of the Populists ever carrying the state? Especially what prospect caiT they have, after the crushing defeats, the utter demolition, they have just received in all their principal strongholds in the west? None whatever! The party is dead as Julius Caesar, a? a national party, and it can never be revived.

It has long been positively asserted that the election of Cleveland in 1884 was due to frauds in New York City, by which an actual majority for Blaine was turned into a majority for Cleveland of only about 1100. Gen. B. F. Butler used to assert most positively, that many thousands of votes cast for him as the labor candidate, were counted for Cleveland. And it is now stated on good authority that Dr. Parkhurst could make the fact plain, if he chose to do so, that Grover Cleveland was elected President in 1894 by frauds in New York and Long Island cities. Not less than ten thousand illegal votes were cast in New York city at that election which were counted for Cleveland, and his plurality of a little over a thousand in the state was manufactured by manipulating the returns in Long Island City and one or two other towns, the day after election. Mr. Blaine always maintained that he was defrauded of his election to the Presidency by frauds in the New York election, and the manipulation of the returns after the election, and now it appears that the proof of the correctness of his opinion is to be soon forthcoming. It is not probable that Dr. Parkhurst will raise this question before the Lexow investigating committee, there being sound reasons against that course in the present situation, but the facts and proofs in his possession will almost surely leak out and become public property. Whether Mr. Cleveland was cognisant of this tremendous wrong or not he was the beneficiary of ft, and in his down* fall and that of his party the moralist may find a fitting retribution.

The Pilot intimates that if some body don’t let up on abusing us poor, weak,innocent, inoffensive and helpless Populists, they’ll get what they won’t like, and get it in the neck. They, the unknown and mythical abusers of the Populists aforesaid, will lose the trade of their Populist victims, Ac, &c. This dodge of the Pilot's is off the same piece with the Pilot editor’s astonishing discovery that thiee men have been hired to lick, yea, lick! thrash, thump, beat and pound the mortal but sacred physical frame of the said editor. Now, there is nothing in this pretended abuse under which the Populists are suffering, nor in the alleged scheme to have the Pilot editor thrashed. Nothing in them, absolutely nothing. They are as empty as was the calf’s head after the Sterling, 111., butcher had made it a populist, by ttarsimple process of taking out the brains. They simply mean that the Populists, having failed to win by abusing others, are now trying the opposite scheme, of trying to win sympathy, and therefore favor, by themselves pretending to be the abused ones.

The sentiment in favor of new congressional and legislative apportionment acts in this state, to replace the present infamous Democratic gerrymanders, is almost universal among Republicans of the state. But the sentiment in favor of the abrogation of the gerrymander is not more universal nor pronounced than is the demand for an absolutely fair apportionment. The democratic party, in past elections, has derived great advantage from their gerrymanders in this state, but the Republican party is differently constituted. —There is a moral sentiment among the members of the Republican party which will not permit such offenses against right and justice. Should the Republicans in the Legislature yield to the temptation to give the Democrats a little of their own medicine in the gerrymander line, the result will surely be injurious to the party, and if the gerrymander principle is made at all prominent, it will be disastrous. Our idea of an apportipnmept law is one that will conform with absolute fidelity to the spirit as well as the letter of the state constitution. Let politics be wholly ignored in making the legislative, senatorial and congressional districts. Let all the districts be composed of, as nearly as practicable, contiguous territory, and contain, as nearly as possible, an equal number of voters. We should much rather take the chanc?s for a Republican victory with the state so districted, han if it were gerrymandered as outrageously in favor of the Republicans as it now is in favor of the Democrats.

Our esteemed neighbor, the Pilot, is so overjoyed by the fact that the Populists in Jasper county increased their vote 179 over 1892, that it has totally forgotten to make any mention of the overwhelming and irretrievable defeat of their party in all those states where their previous success has given the people an opportunity to know how incapable and corrupt a class of men that party puts into office, and what hare-brained ideas it puts into effect when it gets the opportunity. So enormous seems that little 179 votes in the Pilot'3 eyes, that it has never happened to notice that Populism is slain and buried, 20,000 votes deep in Colorado; 30,000 deep in Kansas; 18,000 in South Dakota; that Nebraska is lost to them, except the single office of governor; that Oregon was redeemed long ago. And the Pilot* even forgets the fact that while the Populists gained 179 votes, the Republicans gained 194, thus putting the Republicans 15 votes further ahead of the Populists than they were in 1892. Verily, who but a Pilot editor, in the midst of all this wreck of matter and the crush of Populism, could have forgotten it all in hit do-

light over a paltry gain of 179 votes, in one of the numeripally least important counties ?in the state, and especially when this gain is more than equalled by the gain of an opposing party which was already more than 1000 votes ahead. What would it have profited the the Populist party in general, or that of Jasp&r county in particular, if it had swallowed the whole body of the Democratic party in this County, instead of having only succeeded in “chawing off” about a third of it, beginning at the tail end ? The Republicans would still have been 200 ahead, in the county; and Populism,asa national party, would, all the same, have gone into its early but not untimely grave.

A Calf’s Head.

Sterling 111. Standard: A lady went into one of our meat markets yesterday and ordered a calf head. “Do you want a Republican calf head?” asked the butcher, as he reached around and took a head off a hook and laid it on the block. “No sir; I want a Populist head.” The butcher took his cleaver, split the head open, removed the brains, saying, “There you are, madam.”

FIFTY-TWO DIVIDENDS.

As a general Ihiug investors are pleased to receive only two dividends a year, and if they are paid with regularity are fully satisfied. When one however, can receive fifty-two dividends in a year upon an investment of only three dollars, the matter deserves very serious attention. The Independent of New York for forty-six years has held the first position among the great religious literary and family weeklies in the land. It presents features for the coming year far in advance of any heretofore offered. It has the leading contributors of the world, it prints the best poetry, it has twentyone departments, edited by specialists, devoted to Fine Arts, Science, Insurance, Finance, Biblical Rtsearch Sunday School, Missions, health, etc. The Independent is particularly fitted for intelligent people, whether professional mem, business men or farmers, and their families. It costs but six cents a week and gives a great deal. A subscriber receives fifty-two dividends a year. The subscription price of The In dependent is only three dollars a year, or at that rate for any part of a year, and a sample copy will be sent to any person free, by addressing The Independent, New York City.
