SympaTay for the striking trainmen of

spicious time for a strike of any kind.
RestaNATIONS are becoming epidemic
in European cabinets. The country
would feel greatful if the disease in its
worst form would strike the Cleveland
cabinet.
Ir the report made by Paramount
Blount is all the excuse Mr. Cleveland
has for deciding to restore the Hawaiian
monarchy he is to be pitied as well as
condemned.
INSTEAD of finding himself the admin-
istration candidate for the Democratic
Presidential nomination, Walter Q
Gresham may ere long find himself out
in the cold.
Tur $65.000,000 of surplus reserve—
the largest ever known—now lying idle
in the New York banks, is a silent, but
significant protest against Demoeatic tar-
iff tinkering.
WheN the administration undertook
to help Gresham “get even” with Gener

the task to be so dangerous as it has al-
ready proven to he.

largely true: but the people are already
disgruntled, disgusted and determined—
to make amends.
AFTER all the Democratic abuse of the
sugar bounty it is to remain on the stat-

instance—who have denied the constitu-

GOVERNOR McKINLEY condense d a
whole volume of political economy into
a short sentence when he said: ‘The
more there is to do, the better wages will
be paid: the less there is to do, the less
wages will be paid for what is done.
It isn’t a bit of consolation to the
fellow who has to wear the hair off the
top of his head trying to think how he
can get the four or five tong of coal re-
quired to carry his household through the
winter, to be told that the erniser Colum-
bia consumes 570 tons a day.
IT does seem as though some newspa-
pers were over anxious to make conspie-
uous the fact that the death rate among
the old soldiers is increasing. Thev are
careful, however, not to mention one of
the factors in the increased death rate—
their treatment by this administration.
It is folly to say that an income tax
will not be felt by the poor. The rich
are never lacking for ways to shift their
burdens to the shoulders of the poor. It
is like expecting a tax upon usury to he

Even the free trade New York Herald
has at last discovered that the new tariff
“must be moderate and framed with care-
ful regard to the interests of trade and
industry,” and that “any reckless tariff
legislation, any sudden or sweeping
changes, would unsettle business and in-
dustry and bring on a panic.” Still it
| lacks the courage to advise the Demo-
crats to let the tariff alone.
Gov. McKinney has been asked to
make a protective tariff speech at Birm-
ingham, Ala. Itis not apparent, how-
ever, what benefit such a speech can be

Tue McKinley magnetism is spreading
and working wonders throughout the
land. When Morris Lamb, of Hillsdale,
Mich.. who had been a helpless invalid
for several months, heard the news from
Ohio, last week, he shouted: “That's
good enough to make any man well.”
Then he got up, dressed, and is now

Tae industrial revival which was to
follow silver repeal has not struck Phila-
delphia. Of the 90.000 hands employed
in the 500 textile factories a year ago,
only 17,500 are at work, and only ninety
of the establishments are in operation.
In August only seventy-five per cent. of
the workmen in the city were idle and
this mumber has increased to ninety per

NEVER before now has an American
executive undertaken to stamp out repuh
licanism and to cet up a monarchy in any
part of the world. Never before. we he-
lieve, has an American president issued
orders for the assassination of a free and
successful government. Never
has any officer of this government under-
taken, upon his sole responsibility and
hefore
without consulting congress or the peo
ple, 16 decide the destiny of a foreign
country in diplomatic relations with our-
selve. Never hefore has a president in-
vited or commanded his eabiuet advisors
to assist him in the odius business of set-
ting up again a rotten and broken throne.
Was there no American spirit in the eab-
inet when this policy of infamy was de
cided? Walter Q. Greshan would have
done well to tear his commission
pieces and fling the pieces in the face of
his master, rather than to sign his name
to the document which carried to the na-
tion the announcement of the nation's
shame.—New York Sun (Dem.)

WE gather from the convention which
met in the First United Presbyterian
Church, of Allegheny, last evening, that
this country isin a very bad way. In
deed, one of the members authorized to
speak for the convention declares that
the country is threatened with destruc-
tion by evils which are steadily rising to
supremacy. ‘They are assuming the
control in the administration of Govern-
ment, national. state and municipal.
They are corrupting the currents of our
national life at their very fountains. The
slightest glance at the moral condition of
our land discloses these facts.”
That is grievous. or would be if true.
That there are evils in the land, no one
denies; that they must be combated no
one denies; that they are combated, and
successfully, is not denied bv any one
who remembers the last elections and is
candid enchgh to acknowledze the mean-
ing of them. Saying nothing about the
result of the elections in this county in
two notable instances in which a lawless
class was crushed in a way which aston-
ished some others not less than itself,
how was it in other places? In New
York all party distinctions seemed lost
to sight while the people united to defeat
a man whose presence in the
court of the state they thought dishon
In Chicago they united to vin-
dicate a judge who had the courage to
do his duty In New Jersey they united

Wherever there was a moral
great
mass of the people as corrupt, as enconr
aging evils which imperil the life of the
nation, is slanderous.
We say that this is successfully com

except death more certain than that
their labor will be in vain, is wholly
their business. If they are satisfied
everybody else ought to be. But those
who do not accept their theory of reform
object to being described as yielding to
and encouraging vice and disorder be-
cause they do not accept this theory,
and especially in the face of the truth
which may be read of all men in the last
elections, that they are willing to subor-
