On the 1 1 th instant Andrew Shcr
wood was nominated for Congress by
the rrohibitionists of the Fourteenth
Congressional district. ,
Hon. Levi T. Morton secured the
Republican nomination for Governor
of New York by a vote of 26 to i-.j,
nut how about the election of a Ke
publican Governor of New York,
since Pennsylvania even can't elect a
-Republican Governor r There are
some 'things very peculiai about
Pennsylvania and New York politics,
and it is quite possible that Mr. Mor
ton is entirely conversant with the
New York peculiarities. If Pennsyl
vania can very easily have a Demo
cratic Governor what is the matter
with Republican possibilities in New
York?
Colonel Breckinridge Defeated.
It seems that while men voted for
Colonel Breckinridee's defeat fr.r fnn.
gress -women prayed for it, and the
cpmuinea power 01 votes and prayers
against the Colonel has relegated him
to the shades of his " old Kentucky
nome ur away" from Washington,
Such is high life at the Capital some
times, but not always. For were all
moral lepers there congregated defeat
d for their moral leprosy such a revo
union anu evolution would surprise
the natives, and we are nuite certain
that Colonel B'eckinridge (whose kind
01 misery loves company) will verify
ann suostantiate tnis tact. It is quite
possible that the Colonel has been hit
with ntcJnes in this fight that ought
never to have been thrown at him.
The Philadelphia Record comments
as iouows :
" The honor of 'Old Kentuck' has
teen vindicated before the nation
the defeat of Colonel Breckinridge
the Ashland district nrimarinn T
disinherited statesman will un.1rnhrl
ly commiserate himself as a nprKrn
ted martyr, an attitude which he as
suined early in the campaign with
many Scriptural quotations. There ii
truly, aside from alt embittered pas
is
sion, something most pitiable and
piteous in his fall : but in the false no.
sition which he sought to usuru in the
sympathy of his fellow-citizens he
openly challenged the manhood an

to a trial. Kentuckv'i wives n

EEPUBLIOAH TESTIMONY.
Business Prosperity now Assured
Calamity Ho lor Scored.
The
The Public Ledaer (Republican)
of Philadelphia, under date of Sep
tember ta, 2894, published the follow
ing editorial, which predicts a new era
of real, steadfast prosperity :
It Is both interesting and instructing
to contrast the deliberately expressed
opinions of a genuinely representative
business man, unusually competent
and experienced, with those of the
' disjointed thinkers " of the radically
partisan organs which daily proclaim
that there is and that there can be no
revival of manufacturing and commer
cial activity, for the season that, with
the repeal of the McKinley act, pros
perity took its flight from the United
States never to return again.
Mr. Chaunccy M. Depew, a staunch
and radical Republican, who is held
in such high esteem by his party as to
be considered by its most distinguished
leaders as a fit candidate for the high
est r ational and State political honors
said to the Homburg correspondent
of the New York Uerald, on the 8th
inst. :
"The settlement of the tariff ques
tion is the beginning of a new era of
prosperity. Confidence is res
toredthat means everything to us.
The industrial energy of the 70,006,-
000 people in the country, not yet
fully developed, is resistless when
credit and stability are assured.
"The consuming and purchasing
powers of this homogeneous popula
tion make prosperity for every busi
ness, regardless of foreign demands.
"There is no end of idle money
which will now seek active employ
ment. In less than two years the
panic of 1893-94 will be forgotten,
Mines, furnaces, mills and factories
will be in full operations ; railroads
will be conveying profitable traffic,
and the movement of internal com
merce and the free circulation of
currency or the equvialent in business
and wages will certainly increase the
demand for everything produced upon
the farm or elsewhere."
M. Depew is the President of one
of the most comprehensive, profitable
and most ably managed railroad sys
tems in the United States. He is a
business man in the broadest, most
practical meaning of the term, and,
as such, his opinion regarding ths
business of the country is worth more
than all the croakings of all the reck
less, unthinking, unscrupulous and
prejudiced partisau organs, leaders
and agitators from Maine to New
Mexico. They croak the wish that is
father to their croaking, he speaks
impartially, in wise junVement, and
from prolonged, informing experience.
What Mr. Depew says is confirmed
not onlu l v rensnP, by common ssnr?.
by the character, thc enterprise,, the
energy and the intelligence of the
American people, but by the actual
business conditions of the passing day.
I-or instance, the ne.v t.inu repeals
the bounty on sugir, and, 5n conse
quence, say the prophets of " calam
ity," the production of sugar, especi
ally of the beet root variety, must
cea.cK. That has bren the continuous
croak of the partisan croakers ; the
answer to it is to be found in the fact
that in Oregon, in which State the
beet root is largely cultivated, certain
capitalists have within the last few
days organized a company, with a
capitrd cf $1,000,000 for th; construc
tion of beet root sagar refineries.
This is but one of many instances
throughout the country of fact con
troverting in viracious croaking. Since
tariff question hs been, settled.
and it has been practu a'.iy settled fjr,
at least, three years, and by its settle
ment fixed conditions established and
confidence regained, the stock market,
that unfailing test of the status of
business, has been giving the most
assuring indications of reviving pros
perity i the great transportation com
panies, which are the porters of trade,
carrying the raw mateiial to the works
and the products of industry from the
mills, factories, furnaces, forges and
shops to the markets and the cross
roads, have increased their traffic and
their earnings. In all branches ot
trade reports are favorable. From
New York it is reported that " in the
dry goods line many jobbers state
that thus far during the present
month transactions have exceeded
those of two years ago, when the de
mand was the largest in the history of
the dry goods trade." Prices, it is
stated, are " firm and advancing."
The boot and shoe jobbers make a
similar gratifying report. Shipments
from Boston last week were of 89,
650 cases as against 57,000 cases for
the corresponding week of last year ;
of 84,826 cases in 189a and 80,939
in 1 89 1. In other trades, even in
the woolen, iron, steel and tin indus
tries, which are, most affected by the
new tariff, there is shown renewed
activity.
Why should not the country now
enter upon a new era of prosperity ?
The question of the currency has
been definitely, unchangeably deter
mined in favor of a sound, safe, hon
est one 1 our industries have a known
settled basis to build upon ; manu
facturers know precisely the condi
tion? under which they are to operate.
American enterprise, thrifr, energy,
courage will readily adapt themselves
to the new economic status, and if
there is in sight no expansive business
boom, there are the most satisfactory
indications of reviving prosperity, of
that real, steadfast prosperity which is
better than any spasmodic boom.
But facts, however conclusive they
may be, are not likely to silence the
partisan croakers, whose policy it is to
serve partly expedience at no matter
what sacrifice of the country's welfare.
The people, however, will learn the
truth, as it is certain to be made
manifest by the activity and profitable
growth of trade, and they will be
then no more alarmed by them than
is the timid traveller by the croaking
of the frogs at nightfall in the road
side marshes.
Sour Sweetness.
Instead of paying accrued sub
sidies on sugar Secretary Carlisle
quotes the new tariff law to sugar
growers. It explicitly says : " Here
after it shall be unlawful to pay any
bounty for the production of sugar
ot any kind under the said (McKinley)
act."
