FREELAND, PA , MARCH 17, 18H2. SOME say if Cleveland is not consid i ered available for the Democratic nomination, give us a Western man who represents the Cleveland idea But thuts illogical. No man rep resents the Cleveland idea bo well as Grover Cleveland. And no man in the country is so strong with the people. Only give them a chance and they will surely make him tin i next President. If nominated, his I election is as certain as the rising o! { the sun. D. B. HILL is being overwhelmed j with invitations to speak in the South j This is the work either of shrew, i enemies or unwise friends, says the | K. of A. Journal. Mr. Hill is otn J of those who look biggest and l>est a a distance. Before deciding to accep ! the pressing invitations the New York Mephistopheles might with pruti read and ponder upon that old fabh which tells of how a certain useful but unpoetic animal once dressei himself in a lion's skin and prance, about inspiring respect and terror ti. all he met, until in an unguarded mi. ment he began to btay. There an men who are less respic.ed am admired the better they at e known. i PRESIDENTIAL politics are beginning to simmer in this country lu tin i course of a month or two they will b. i boiling. The Republicans can't throw j Harrison overboard as uiauy of then ' would like to do, so their candidal • j for first place is secure. The Vio Presidency will probably go to While law Reid. As for the Democrats, Mi. Cleveland undoubtedly occupies i. front seat in the admiration of th< people, and John G. Ca. lisle w< uld make a very telling Vice President The little matter of candidates settle, i. the two parties will open on eacl other, and it will be a hund-to-haui. fight. But on the day after electioi the victors will laugh, the vunquishe will swear, and the American peopi will shake hands all round. THE growth of the Catholic Tot a Abstinence Union of Philadelphia, from a few hundred members scattei ed among three societies to 150 soch ties with 20,000 members, is a IUOM encouraging growth. The growth o such an organization speaks well f<. the elevating influence of social foice developed and encouraged by Ihi churches. The Church, through its spiritual force alone, cannot do tin work that can be accomplished by social organizations that enter int' the eveiy day life of all who are mem bers. The more guilds, unions and societies that are organized unite and by the authority of the churches the wider will be the influence lo good and the more fundamental th. reforms undertaken.— l'hila. I'ress. No political reform so radical as is contained in the proposition to elect United States Senators by the peopl. has Btarted in this country for many years. In view of this, it is surpris ing how rapidly it has advanced. Noi only do the people at large sanctioi it, but politicians have taken it up as a desirable and practicable measuie. The lowa Legislature has adupted u resolution asking congress to submu the necessary constitutional amend ment. The difficulty of securing amendments to the constitution of tin United States has become proverbial, but we do not believe there would in much trouble in securing ratification of a measure of this sort, since th. populur opinion in favor of having the people elect Senators is decidedly strong. HENRY GEORGE, the noted economii writer, acted as a juror in a New York Court the other day, and because lit assisted in bringing in a verdict in favor of a corporation which was suei for damages, some of the metropuli tan papers insinuated that he had not acted consistently with his writings. Such critics merely display their ig norance of Mr. George's principles when they slate he should have pin sued a different course. As an hones: reformer and anti-monopolist Mr George has no peer, but his views do not blind him enough t > be unable to distinguish between right and wrong, and from the testimony of the casi the verdict rendered was perfectly just. Any one who imagines tin j famous author to be an enemy of legt j timate capital should read i feu ~■ i his interesting books before posing it \ a critic. THIS government, more than any other in the world, rests on the shoulders of the working classes. It their wages have been raised during the last three years by the high pro I tective policy of the Republicans, ami if the necessaries of ike household have been placed within their reach at a cheaper rate than formerly, then they will naturally wish to continue that policy. They need no instruction in this matter. Their weekly bills teach them all they wish to know. If, on the other hand, they pay more for the necessaries of life, more for rent, more for woollen garments, while their wages remain at the old figure, they need no one to tell them that protection fuilH to protect the wage earner, however much it may benefit others. Facts, figures and personal experience are better than woidy argument on such a subject as that.— N. Y. Herald. The Present Political Situation. The Ilill comet.'which was observed by the Tammany astronomers in New York several weeks ago, after skirting close to the Sun and forming a beautiful picture, is now rapidly bo* ling off into space, and. having lost its tail, is destined to j j become a telescopic object, ami next a j 1 stranger to the political world. In olden , ■ times a comet was supposed to fortell | J ! war. This comet brought war with it, | and it is by no means certain that bos- ( 1 tilities will cease with the disappearance 1 iof the Hill luminous gas. Until Hill J j had expertly secured control of the New i York Democratic machine and made 1 | evident that it was his intention to semi p a delegation for himself to the National Convention there was little question of 1 the nomination of Cleveland fur the J, Presidency. After the fall elections of 1890, wnen, by a combination of circum stances, the Democrats made sweeping | | gains in congress, Democratic prospects ! for the Presidency grew very bright, j I and Republicans were corresponding!} j j despondent. j The vast majority of Democrats in the j country at large believe that Grovei | Cleveland should head the Presidential ! ticket. His nomination would meai< | that the party has detinite principle.- i upon the coinage and the tariff, and thai ' ! it is glad to avow tlieui and battle foi j i them upon the hustings. Mr. C'leve j land's tariff views are well known, an ' he and his party are in accord upon ihem. liis honesty and sincerity ait unquestioned. He is admired and re j specled for his courage and probity b\ thousands of his fellow-citizens win t dissent from his conclusions upon the I tariff, lie is the idol, almost, of thai important element, fast growing in num I uers in this country —the independents— whose votes frequently carry the balaiio ; f power, by reason of Hill's powei with the New York machine tiie move j ment for Cleveland lias been hand.- | capped. The timid and time-serving | .ire constrained to question the ex pi ! iiency of Cleveland's nomination, let i ne should lose Ins own f?tale, forgettu ■ of the fact that it is more important tui \ the life of a party that it should be r.gl. . * and unequivocal in its protessioiis ratlie. than obtain a dear-bought teinpoiai. . victory by cowardice, evasiou and trick I i cry. In the meantime Hill has beei uoisled by his own petard, lie calle • ilie midwinter convention in New Yon , with a view to its effects upon uthe. i | otales, and lie obtained control of tin 1 .iew York Senate to show ins "'deci.- on" in emergencies anu the fertility o. uis resources, So far us the outside States are con cerned, tiie returns are coming in, am I where these do not show a move men ' . lor Cleveland they bring to light sent.- | ments for local candidates. Now lien outside of New York lias any Stan evinced a likelihood to give a majority of its ballots in the Chicago convention iur David B. JiilJ. The election return, j ui Hill's own State are con Iron ling Inn ! laily with a uniform recoid of heavt i Republican gains ill tiie Boards of Su ! pervisors, which will be called upon 'lew months hence to count the voter . | east for President. Mr. ilill has decider . upon a trip through the South and ai tangements were in preparation for ai extensive tour, but the Senator has con cluded, for reasons best know n to him eif, to speak only at Jackson and Birin tiigham. The ilill bourn has burst. 1 Notwithstanding the present lack oi | harmony in the Democratic party, Mi | Cleveland is as likely a candidate as aii} of liis fellows. Governor Pattison, Sen ator Palmer, Governor Buics and Gov ernor Russell, the most prominent!) mentioned "dark horses," are aduiirei> of Mr. Cleveland, and their delegatioiir ■ on the first ballot will quite probabl} vote for the ex-President. That is cei • tainly the understanding that is bad n. 1 Pennsylvania so far as the generality oi j the delegation from this State is con ! j cerned. The fact that Mr. Cleveland it lor sound money and has the confidence j • j of the business community should not In I lost upon the convention. Sufficient | | lime remains for the newspaper prest- ; J unJ intelligent members of Congress t | demonstrate beyond question to the mis- 1 j led "Grangers" the utter folly and hoi j lowness of the free silver .craze. liii. i i and Free Silver—that way madness lies, j Sanity dwells at the opposite swing .f the pendulum—a frank, honest candi ! date booming honest money and an lion jest tariff.— PhiUi, Ledger. Against Coal King Lilly. The canvass for Congressmen-at-largi j I.as developed into a spirited struggle j ! between live aspirants for the two pluc. *. ' i according to the Inquirer. Early in the i discussion of probable nominees, Mujui j Alexander McDowell, of Mercer, rep- j resenting the west, and General William j Lilly, of Carbon, from the east, were | regarded as almost certain to carry fl j these nominations. Major McDowell ! figured in the Twenty-fifth districtV { triangular fight for congress in the fai of 1890, w hen he and Thomas \N . Phillips, of Butler, were both defeated, resulting in the election of K. P. Gilles- I, pie, Democrat. Phillips is to he utiop- 1 J posed for the district nomination this , year, ami McDowell will have the sup ' port of his own and neighboring counties I for the nomination at large. J. B. I Showaiter, of Butler, who retires fiom \ ( the Senate this year, has come out as aj j ! candidate from tiie west. He has not' t received much encouragement as yet. ! a i The liveliest ami most interesting j struggle is among the candidates east of I , i the mountains. General Lilly has not | | been holding his own since the first of j H | the year, lie undoubtedly has the good 1 will of nearly all the active and leading Republicans in the State. A question of 1 I the expediency of the nomination of I u another candidate alone makes his sue- I e cess doubtful. Well informed politicians t v admit unless this place shall be conce.b d ed to the grangers Carbon County's ' u favorite might get the nomination. I' h I "Farmer" Taggart looms up as the lion I I in liis path. This tall, gaunt and be- i whiskered Montgomery County granger has a number of friends making an energetic canvass in his behalf. I There is a vigorous kick among the stalwarts, however, on his nomination. His break against Senator Cameron's re election is not forgotten by the admirers of the lucky son of the late Sage of Donegal. They do not take kindly to the idea of showering honors upon the head of a kicker before he shall have gone through the fires of repentance or in some way atoned for his obstreperous conduct. Some Cameron men declare boldly they w ill not submit to Taggart's nomination. In Taggart's behalf the argument is made that in the turning down of Giles I). Price and AmosMylin, candidates for Auditor-General, the Re publican State Convention gave the farmeis no representative on the last State ticket. While the coal counties will naturally he in line for General Lilly, "Farmer" Taggart's admirers count on the delegates from Montgomery, Chester, Cumberland, Lancaster, In diana, an send a free wool ■ill to the Senate it will have vindicated lie wisdom of the people in choosing it. dr. Millin has given the bill a strong -end-off, ami we do not doubt he will be lily supported by Democratic Represen atives from all parts of the country.— Phila. Record. Subscribe for the TRIBUNE.
