SmtKTAltv C'.HMsi.r.'S banking scheme thus fir seems to have tho uunnnlldid indorhement of John (1. Carlisle. The elaborate preparations for the col lection of the income tax tiring to mind the query of the elder Wcller In reference to lenrnlrs the nlphnhet whether It was worth while to co through so tunc h mil gef so little. By some mysterious mental process as yet altogether uuknoivu, the South, which Is suffering from the overproduction of ontton, seems to ave jnne1 tided that she enn tlnd relief for tho eoneqiieut distress in the restoration of state bmikH and n. de- Tiased currency. Trying to restore pros perity in unsettling values and Inducing speculation is a good deal like trying to restore a paralytic to health oy bleeding him. Only madness, surely, can longer keep the Chinese government from suing for pence in an humble and straightforward manner. Nor can It complain of excessive hardship in thus being humbled. It was the aggressor. It began the war. And its tone then was indescribably arrogant and cruel. Now it is beaten, and it must suffer the fate of the vanquished, and of the vanquished in a bad caUBe. Japan will be merciful when China sues for mercy. Until that time she will pursue the policy of Grant when he said to Don elson, "I propose to move immediately upon j our works." Mich credit is given to President Cleve land by some admirers for bis shrewdness in diverting attention to the stnte bank scheme, when he saw that the tariff and other issues had brought defeat upon his party. Doubtless the President himself andmsnyof his admirers, consider it a particularly cute thing. How far the momentary agitation which the Preslden has begun will make trouble no one can judge just yet. Gold exports began quit appropriately so soon as nls policy was f announced, and the continuing distrust of foreigners Jin the financial future of this country is likely to cause large sell ing of stocks and out-goes of gold fo some time to come. The Administration will be properly held reapouslble for the consequences of this ngitntlou also. whether it ends in any disastrous changi of law, or ( nly in prolonged and depress- ; m cirlninty. It was a very unlit thing for any statesman to attempt a genera 1 reconstruction of tho monetary system, at a time when the business ot the- nation was so severely tried, but it was a tiling particularly unlit and nlinost indecent. for the leidcrs of a party which had jus been overwhelmingly condemned In th election, to seize the three remaiulug mouths of power for an attempt to de feat the people's will by fetich a change, All this the oters are quite able to com prehend, and It is not with great patience that they witness a new attempt to force obsolete Democratic theories upon th country after the voteis have ntered thei verdict against them, lu a moral sense, it Is an impudent usurpation of power, after such a defeat, to use a trust which th people have withdrawn for the purpose of carrying out objects they have emphat ically condemned. Tho effort will not be to revive conlidence iu the party thus de fylug public opinion. President Cleve land will discover, It la safe to predict, that hU eiuleavur 10 bring buck wildcat state banks to cmva the country agaiu will prove not more popular than his In come tax or his prostration ot home Indus tries. If the President fascia that this or any other subject will' lead the work ingmeu to forget that a Uign share of them have lout employment tur a year or more, and that nearly all have had their wagon reduced, when greater prosperity was promised to them as u result of Dem ocratic victory, he will learn better. Evtry wage-earner Is reminded every time he draws his wages that the Democratic party stole success In 18!U by lying to him, and has inflicted upon him the most seri ous Industrial reverse the country hag eeen for fifty years. ikui I olm McBrido Heads the American Federation of Labor, SOCIALIST CANDIDATES BEATEN.

Lennon, tho pres ent incumbent, was nominated and elected by acclamation. Mr. Gompers took the lloor and an nounced his satisfaction upon being re leased from tho responsibilities of tho pres idency of tho federation. Ho said ho had been made an old man in his comparative youth hy the burdens of the offlce, but ho felt that be represented a principle and would not llo down. Ho preferred to bo mowed down. Ho concluded: "If any man or men shall try to drag down John McBrido he will find mo a harder lighter for him than 1 hnvo been for myself." For tin; placo of next meeting of tho fed eration, Mow York and ht. JjouIs were placed In nomination. The result was: New York, l,!i:i.i; .St. Louis, 5M.

After committee reports of minor impor tance the convention at 0 o'clock adjourned to meet this morning. In rogard to tho work of the convention President Gompers said: "I think tho work of tho convention is highly satisfactory, and I regard the out look as equally so. Tho determination of tho federation to direct their efforts to so curing an eight hour day In 1890 will have a good effect.
