AFTER THE DEFEAT. A Doleful So a 11(1 Arisen from the Tomb of llie ciii'ttii .Honey HOHI. Ere the ballots are counted in one election tlie country begins to take thought of the issues and alignments of the next to come. That of lH'.Hi offers too little of national scope and impor tance to attract general public specula tion. but to !9(M> the public eye already turns. Conjecture is rife concerning the extent of effect the victories and de feats of November S. 1808, are to have upon parties and issues in 1900. The variance of opinion is regulated in ra tio to party divergence. It is the opinion of the Philadelphia Times, the Louisville Courier-Journal and other democratic papers of the old school —too hones't to follow their party off into the misty maze of liatism. repu diation and anarchy, as set down in the Chicago platform; too deeply grounded in heritage of party loyalty to cut loose from a clinging hope of future recon ciliation and a harmonious homing— that the verdict of the people marks the passing of Bryanism and the cure of the sixteen to one free silver folly. In the result of the election just held they see the realization of therir hope for a restoration of the democratic party of history under the leadership of the sound money element. The corpse of this ootid us ion. William Jennings Bryan. rises from the bier o'ersprend by sound money ballots to her,int this hope with the post-mortem avowal that— "The Chicapo platform presents for pub lic consideration certain vital economic questions That platform has not been abandoned by those who Indorsed it !n 1 VHi Tt will be reaffirmed in 19C0. because it pivos expression to the hopes and aspira tions of a lar/?e majority of the party." In corroboration t hat this declaration of fealty to a lost cause is but tlu 1 nat ural cry of inevitability may be offered a-, competent tew*.:m«>ny this deduction of that expert in political diagnosis, the New York Sun: "The effect of last week's elections has been, briefly, to tighten party lines with even greater firmness than was the case two years apo. The national democrats, so called, have been eliminated entirely. They now vote the republican ticket or they vote the democratic ticket. "Unquestionably the present economic conditions, as well as the political relation of the two parties toward each other, the prestige of republican victory and th<> demoralization of the opposing forces, make almost hopeless for the democracy the renewal of the batUe of two years ago; but, be the outlook propitious or dis couraging, the lesson of the late election Is unquestionably clear: The democratic party is committed irrevocably to the is sues of ISM." It is not to be understood that the Sim doubts the regularity of the death return on the late lamented leader of populistie democracy. The theory seems rather to be that in his demise he drags the mutilated remnants of the general wreck of hi.s entire political amalgamation into the grave with him. And, "hark from the tomb this dole ful sound." attributed to the troubled democratic shade of one Col. Bill Brown, who also ran in the recent disastrous handicap: "Why should not the election of Novem ber S, touching so close onto victory, lift us to a higher plane of action? Why should there not be a rededlcation and a reconsecration. In order that the early promises of IS9B may be realized In 1900? Let the democracy forget the mistakes of the past, excepting in so far us they may serve as danger signals In the future, and victory will again spread as a halo around its name." From all of which there is-deducible but one conclusion beyond controver sy: Whatever else the democratic par ty may or may not do. it will win no vic tory in llKtO. Having that assurance, the country can go about its business with a tranquil spirit and a clear con science.—Cincinnati Commercial Ga zette. Itrturn of Colorado. Colorado is swinging rapidly back toward the republican party. General prosperity there and in the rest of the country and the general ond particular cussednese of democracy and populism, with which that slate allied itself two years ago. are the principal causes for the recent decrease of the vote of the demo-pops and the big increase of the vote of the republican party. This is creditable to Colorado, but it will have a disturbing effect on Henry M. Teller. True. Teller's term does not end until and therefore his constituents cannot get at him for several years yet. but the f:ict that the sitate is repudiat ing his brand of politics will weaken his influence in the senate and will throw n.n atmosphere of burlesque over that little escapade in ISOfi in which Teller attempted the role of high trag edy That carefully-rehearsed scene in the St. Louis convention would never have taken place if Teller had known then a few things which he has learned ■since.

C7The democratic press is now en gaged in the discussion of the interest ing question of "minority leadership" in the next house of representatives. This is a position which the republican i majority has generously placed at the service or its opponents, yet up to date there seems to have been no acknowl edgment of the favor.

The republican victory in all the ! states of the northwest at the late elec tion is more notable than the sweep of that party in IN9O. The off year, the re i action which the successful party suf fers after a presidential election, were not the potential factors of defeat that they have been in the past. On the con trary, the republican victory of 1898 was more emphatic than that of 1800. Never in an off year did a j»arty rec ceive in one seetiion of the country such a series of emphatic majorities as these, ; namely: Indiana 18.235; Ohio. 00.405; | Illinois. 07.101; lowa. 02.327; Michigan, ■ 03.406; Wisconsin. 37.050; Minnesota, I 22.000; Kansas. 12.000.

Serious differences, it appears, have arisen between two American patriots who frequently have announced in a loud tone of voice that their mission on this earth was to save the American people from themselves. The distinguished and exalted patri ots who made this inodest avowal, both hail from the great state of Nebraska. Is it necessary to say they are Col. Bryan and Senator Allen—one, the "or ator of the Platte;" the other, an ora tor who has spoken more and said less than any man w ho has been in congress for many a day, and that is indeed a record. It will be remembered that Col. Bry an took no part in the recent campaign. He said he was suffering from "mili tary lockjaw," and therefore could not "ope his ponderous jaws," to give ut terance to the thoughts that filled him. But Mr. Allen's friends now complain that lie. developed into a ready letter writer, and from his camp sent forth many epistles wherein it wan suggested that the legislature of Nebraska had better lie given to the republicans this year. A republican legislature in that state meant the retirement of the cele brated Mr. Allen from the United States senate. Well the legislature has gone republican and Mr. Allen will get out— but not out of public life he says. He and his friends charge that Col. Bryan ploVccsX for his discomfiture, in the be lief th.it It would remove him as a can didate for the populist nomination for president. But now he says he has been treated so badly his chances for the nomination have Dt?en improved.

Within three hours more than $1,000,000 worth of proper ty was destroyed. The lire started in the basement of the building occupied by ltogcrs, I'cet A Co., clothiers, about 9:30 o'clock. Two policemen standing near Warren street heard a loud explosion and a moment later saw a thin line of smoke curling up from the side of the Rogers. I'eet it Co. building. At. that time rain was falling in torrents and the wind blew a gale. An alarm was sent, in, but before the first engine turned into I'roadway the Hogers, I'eet & Co. basement was a roaring furnace, with great flames bursting t'lirough the floors above and rushing fiercely to the roof. Just before 11 o'clock the Home Life Insurance Co.'s building. 10 stor ies high, at 2.15 and 2.">7 Broadway, caught fire. The firemen already had their lines in this building up to the seventh floor. They were greatly handicapped by the many stories. Flames had eaten their way through the side wall in many places and the huge white structure burned fiercely. The interior of the Home Life build ing was by this time a furnace. From the windows of the six or eight upper stories the flames were pouring in masses. Tn the rear nine stories were afire and the fire department, so far as tthis portion of the building was concerned, was powerless. At 11:15 the Postal buildingf of 14 stories caught fire. Chief Bonner, who had charge of the firemen, took the ele vator and went to the roof fo give directions. \t this time there were a few operators, two or three clerks and a few boys at work in the build ing in the stifling smoke and mes sages we're sent until the flames came and all were forced to rush out.

The Nova Scotia n schooner Walleda arrived Sunday from Gonaives and reports that during the height of the hurri cane on November 28, in lat. 36.22, long.' 72..'i0 she sighted a dismantled schooner of about 700 ton- flying sig nals of distress. It was nearly dark at the time and her crew could be seen on the decks gesticulating frant callv for assistance. The Walleda bore down on the stranger and got close under her lee and hailed her. The men shouted that the vessel was sink ing and asked to be taken oil'. Capt. Kemp told them his boats were stove and useless. They said they would come to the Walleda in their own boats. During this time the Walleda lay to, but found that she was rapidly drift ing to the leeward, then went about on the other tack and finally managed to cross the bow of the wreck. The Walleda hailed again, but got no answer. In the meantime another schooner came to her assistance and assumed a position to the windward of tfhe wreck. Both of them stood by until daylight. When morning broke the wreck was deserted and the boats gone. It is supposed the unfortunate men attempted to launch their boat during the night, which capsized anfl all hands were lost.

IN A NOISY MANNER. < übaii* at Santiago Olmcrvc tlie Annl* vcrhary of tin- death ol Their M'"u" iiioiim l.cadcr Antonio .Maceo, Santiago, Cuba, Dec. B.—Wednes day was tlie anniversary of the death ot Antonio Maceo and was celebrated among the Cubans in Santiago. A memorial service was held in the cathedral, which was crowded. Less than two years ago tlie same cathed ral witnessed a Te Denm sung by the same choir in celebration "of Maeeo's death. Then the cathedral was draped with Spanish colors. Yesterday the entire edifice was in black, interspers ed with a few Cuban emblems. Considerable annoyance was occa sioned to the I'nited States authori ties by the fact that some 75 Cubans marched the entire length of St. Thomas street, armed with rifles and machetes, although all Cubans are aware that such conduct is strictly against ihe regulations, a.rmed bodies, other than I'nited States troops, not being allowed. The offenders did not ask permis sion to march armed, and their inten tion was not made known to the American authorities. Col. Beaeom, who is chief in com ma nd here during the absence of Gen. Wood, immediately called upon the mayor regarding the affair, and was by him referred to Col. Garcia, who sent an orderly directing the appear ance of the offenders at headquarters. Meanwhile tlie armed squad had fired three volleys., many using ball cart ridges. whose bullets, striking the upper portions of the cathedral, caus ed the bell ringers to flee from their post. An officer from the Fifth immune regiment soon arrived at headquar ters with a message from Col. Ser geant. stating that several bullets had struck his tent at different points, and asking information as to the cause. Col. Garcia said he was under the impression that the men used blank cartridges and that the I'nited States authorities had been notified of the intention of a number to march arm ed in connection with the celebration. Col. Beaeom replied that he knew nothing of it and that the Cubans had evidently done their best to eonccai their purpose. He then ordered Gar cia not to allow his men to attend the evening procession armed and said he would permit the continuance of the morning celebration only on the dis tinct understanding that there was to be no more firing. The reason the offenders were not arrested was that tbey were within the cathedral limits at the time. An overflow meeting was held in the theater, with music and speeches, none antagonistic to the \mericans. After enthusiasm bad been well aroused a procession of 5.000 people paraded through the principal streets to the house where Maceo was 'born and affixed a brass tablet commemor ative of that event. A band of Cubans on horsebaevk entered the premises of the Spanish club here last evening and broke sev ral lamps with their machetes. The I'nited States authorities acted promptly. As a result of the outrage at least half the police force will be discharged. A SNOW BLOCKADE. ■ tallroadM I.a»l ol ISliflalo Sutler Se verely Ironi a lirrat Storm. Buffalo, N. Y., Dec. B.—Every rail road entering Buffalo from the cast suffered severely from the effects of the snow storm yesterday. On the New York Central road everything seemed to be at a standstill between Buffalo and Batavia after -1 p. in. Freight traffic was entirely suspend ed. On the Peanut branch of the Central several freight trains are re ported stranded in anywhere from five to seven feet of snow. The Em pire State express, due in this city at 4 o'clock, was held at Batavia until snow plows could be sent ahead to clear the track. It was after 8 o'clock when the flyer reached here and she was followed by several other passen ger trains, all of which were from two to five hours late. The Black Diamond express on t.he Lehigh road came in over an hour late and train dispatchers on this road stated that freight operations had been entirely suspended for six hours. On the Erie road :wl 1 passenger trains were at last an hour late and no freight was moving. The same report camie from the Lackawanna road. It was stated that on the latter line a passenger train that had left Buffalo in the afternoon was delayed at Lan caster for five hours. But little delay .as experienced by the western roads, the storm seemingly having "icen heaviest east of this city. At nidniglrt the snow had ceased falling, but a high wind was blowing and drifts were forming everywhere. In the east end of the city several street car lines are shut up. the drifts being too much for the snow plows to move. lleroi!ni/.id ller CieiieroMity. Boston, Dec. S.

The rapid progress that is being made ( in the settlement of the fertile prairies of western Canada is leading to the in ' vestigation of its resources by those interested in having provision made for those living in the crowded east, for those who have been struggling for years on impoverished farms, lor the renter who is unable any longer to bear up under the strain imposed by the landlord, and for the farmer who un able to purchase farms for his sons in his own neighborhood has to look arsund for lower priced lands. The in vestigation shows that it is impossible to niset these conditions successfully outside of western Canada. Already millions of bushels of wheat are being grown there each year, while as many as 50,000 head of cattle were shipped out this year. A representative of the Germania, Milwaukee, one of the lead ing German papers in the United States, recently made a trip through Manitoba, Assiniboia, Alberta and Saskatchewan, where lie the free gov ernment lands of western Canada, and in a future issue will appear extracts from flattering letters contributed to the' Germania and other papers by tihe< * special correspondents.
