TERKE HAUTE, IND., NOV. 10,1894
A POLITICAL REVOLUTION. The most thorough and crushing defeat ever experienced by any political party was administered fo the Democrats in Tuesday's elections. So. farreaching was it that had the most sanguine "rainbow ohaser" among the Republicans prophecied its extent he would have been looked upon by his own political friends as having paid a final farewell to all his senses. Beginning with the defeat of Tammany io New York City by a majority of over 45,000, David B. Hill, the best vote getter in his party, was utterly crushed by a majority of 153,000 for Morton. Every northern State wjht Republican, and many of them, as Indiana, Minnesota, "Wisconsin, Iowa and Michigan, elected solid Republican delegations to the next Congress, in which there will hardly be enough Democrat* to fill the places on the com rij it tees to which they are entitled. To add to the general discomfiture cf the Democracy the Solid South has been broken. West Virginia sends a solid Republican delegation to Congress, and, most significant of all, Congressman Wilson was defeated by a plurality of 2,000 in a district supposed to be im pregnable. A Republican legislature whs also elected in that state, ensuring the election of a Repulican senator to succeed the present Democrat, Camden. Maryland, Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee, Missouri, have each elected Repub lican congressmen. The most pictur esque feature of the day was the complete overthrow of Populism In the strongholds, Kansas and Colorado, where Lie welling and Waite were defeated by majorities so decisive as to leave no doubt but that their people were tired of them.
Every member of the ways and means committee that prepared the Wilson bill has been retired by a striking majority, and while many reasons have been offered as to the cause of the crushing de feat, the most pertinent was that given by ex-President Harrison, who said: "A vast majority of our people believe in a protective tariff—never so strongly as now. They differ as to rates and schedules, but not as to the principle. They believe in reciprocity as the first method of getting foreign markets. They believe in a progressive and American policy. The workingmen voted their prejudices in 1892 this year they voted their patriotism and their love of borne
There was dissatisfaction among the Democrats, and no truer illustration was ever furnished of the fact that a house divided must fall. Two years ago Re publioans who bad believed that "tariff reform," so-called, was the genuine panacea for all their real and fancied ills, voted with the Democrats for relief. This year the Democrats returned the compliment with accumulated interest. It is not so much a victory for the Republican party as a judgment by the whole people against the Democratic management of affairs for the past two years. With leaders divided on every important question before the people, quarreling among themselves about the tariff, silver, bonds, etc., their followers oould not be expected to be united. They rebuked them, therefore, in the most astonishing revolt ever known in American politics. So complete is it, that with reason and judgment displayed by the managers of the Republican party, and a deference paid to the real wishes of the people, it Is possible that we hav* seen ottr last Derooeatlc president for another quarter of a century. But failing io their duty to the"people, the winners of this unprecedented victory will be called to account.
Chicago is now outstripped in the race for precedence by the "Greater New York," which was approved by the voters In the cities interested, in Tuesday's election. The scheme for the "Greater New York" propose* the consolidation nnder one city government of New York and Brooklyn, the whole of Richmond and Kings counties with portions of Weetch©8to 1 Queens. The whole area cover®** uy the "Greater New York" will comprise more than 317 square miles. In the bill which relates to the subject provision was only made for an expression of opinion on the part of the people as to the advisability of consolidation and this is what the vote of Tuesday means. The «xmsolidation wilt not take effect until legislative provision shall be made upon the subjects of taxation, refunding r* debus etc.

Thr
Republicans of Indiana have
gained a most surprising victory. With congressman from each of the thirteen districts, a majority in the legislature on joint baiiott, and a plurality of 86,000 in the state, the largest ever given to any party, it would seem that their cup of joy i» filled to overflowing..

He Is accused of sup plying the Italian government, through the medium of an Italian array ofBoer, with document# relating to the plans for mobilising the FrenoU army, The occurrence la treated aa one in which only the Frenchman la dishonored. While perhaps his crime is the more heinous one yet it would seem that in a comparative degree the Italian government and its representatives are dishonored. Sp
Thk
eleotion was a magnificent dem
onstration of the fact that the people have deolded to elect or reject a party ticket when the party's policy is satisfactory or unsatisfactory, as the case may be. The result of the elections of 1890, 1892 and 1894 show that the pendulum swing* easier and much farther than it used to do. Party alleglanoe is not so binding. The secret ballot is to be credited in a large measure for the remarkable change in American politics.
THE NEW WORLD METROPOLIS.
Chicago Reaching For New York's Crown as Qneen of the Continent.
This significant editorial appears in that very much alive New York paper, The World: "Consolidation must take place or soon the pushing western city will ap pear upon the map as the queon of the continent. The figures are cdnclusive. In 1900, unless consolidation takes place, it will surely be smaller, and Chicago will utter a tremendous roar, which will echo and re-echo around the world, for New York will have lost the leading place, with all the power, prestige, importance and substantial benefits such a place brings. And Chicago will have it and make the most of it. The advantages of being the first city in population cannot be overestimated. It is an advertisement all over the world. It attracts capital and a thousand other benefits."
There is no help for New York. It must submit to the inevitable. Chicago is catching up at a pace that cannot be lessened. Chicago is bound by all laws of progress to pass New York within the near future and to take and keep the position of first city of the continent, foremost of the cities of the new world.
The usual statistical estimate of manhood voters is one to five of the entire population. Deducting the registration by women, which is comparatively insignificant, the population of the city of Chicago must be today more than 1,500,000, and remembering the rate per cent of increase in past decades, taking the average and accepting the mathematical demonstration, it will scarcely require the opening of a new century to find Chicago at the head of American cities.
It is true, as the New York newspaper says, 'the advantage of being the first city in population cannot be overestimated. It is an advertisement all over the world. It attracts capital and a thousand other benefits."
The men who founded New York on its narrow strip of land were not farsighted. They thought only of their immediate profits from trade. The men who founded Chicago were farsighted. They thought of the future of their city, the destiny of their country. The former were foreigners who had no idea of becoming Americans. The latter were Americana New York has continued to be a foreign city. Chicago has always been an American city. "Consolidation with Brooklyn will not avail New York now. Lack of Americanism is its constitutional defect. It is past repairing now, so far as predominance is concerned.—Chicago Herald.
E~MARRI AGE~*MARKET.
Prices Are Fair For Gilt Edge Stock, but Job Lots Are Cheap. It is too early in the season to predict what the prospect for business in the matrimonial market will bo. Dealers are carrying over large stocks from last year, and the overproduction of debutantes and the importation of foreign fascinators may have a depressing effect upon the market. Dealers are anxious to realize, but the market continues firm, With an upward tendency.
Prim, first class, country teed winners are at a premium. Last season's society whirlers are below par. There Is a better feeling in rosebuds, and prices to foreign noblemen are phenomenally low. Mothers-in-law, after having touched bottom figures, A I, are reviving and are quoted at 88 middling 78, good ordinary 01. It is confidently predicted that before the fiscal year ends mothers-in-law will go to 114 unless unforeseen complications arise calculated to bear the market Fathers-in-law are extremely dull. Small brothers find no market, and maiden aunts are not listed. Gilt edged orphans are scarce and but few offering?. The stock on hand Oct. 1, 1894, of good matches among the men is too small to note In a sworn to statement of effects and, liabilities.—Washington Post
