THE PEOPLE ARE TO BE OBEYED.
".Mark me well, by the ides of No
vember tbe patriotism of the people
will be thoroughly aroused and the
camp-fires that have been slumbering'
will be rekindled and burning brightly
upon every hill, lighting up every val -
ley withiu the confines of the entire
United States of America. Applause
Notice will then be given that no mau
or set of uieu can sec themselves np as
dictators to the American people a3 to
what they shall do. Applause. That
neither the government of the United
States, nor the republican party are
ready to yield their rights or prerog
ative to a few men who arc ever dis
satisfied because tney cannot control.
Applause. Our goverument is built
upou the theory thai the people shall
rule. The republican yarty, upon the
same theory, demands that the people
shall control, f Applause We do not
wish to lapse into the condition of the
old and eflVte monarchies, where a
monarch commands and the people
obev. With us the people are ruouarchs,
who issue the edicts, and the people
are to be obeyed." John A. Logan at
Bangor, Maine.
Du Miller of the Omaha Herald
hoists tbe distress signal and guys the
'.New York doctrine is Omaha Herald
"doctrine, pure and simple."
The New York doctrine was enunci
ated by statesman Cooper when he
stated that the tariff was a ' techy ques
tion" and advised the Saratoca conven
tion to dodge that issue, and the New
York doctrine is a complete ignoring of
that question ; hence, the Omaha Her
ald sees the tariff is a tecy question,'
and is in favor of dodging it.
In other words, the Omaha Ilerald is
democratic all over, and its platform is
offices for the ofRceless, and bone3 for
the hungry.
Your dectrine, Doctor, is neither
"pure" nor "simple" and it won't "wash
worth a cent."
The beginning of the end slowly ap
pears in tbe South. Intolerance, fraud
and crime, skulking behind an organ
ized class prejudice and race hatred,
may succeed for a time, but the end
will surely come. For months, the or
ganized protests of the Virginia read-
justers, have pointed to tbe fact that
forbearance was fast ceasing to be a
virtue in that section of rock rooted
bourbonioin.
Now co: -ies the intelligence that aa
independent party has been organised
in Florida with a bolting democrat as
its nominee for governor. In Missis
sippi the cloud3 are gathering and they
will surely burst in time, over the dem
ocratic camp.
Intolerance and race hatred may tri
umph ovt-i the poor cojored man of the
south, but :is it triumphs, its bigotry
and devihsh malevolence is sure to
trample under foot the rights of the
Anglo Saxon, thereby calling into the
the field, a foeman, who, when in the
riht, can know no defeat. There is
such a thiiig as a machine being made
entirely too hetvy and too strong Iwr
practical t ie. There is no such thing
as a sing!? political parly under a pop
ular form jf government like this of
ours The -atety of the citizen, the
wholesorri enforcement of law, the
purity ol . ministration of puUic
and gov :t itts! a.ffairs, is guaranteed

A lakqc force ia now at work push

that
it is now higher than the church of St
Co.

it will be forty feet nearer the clouds
than any known 6ructure. Yhe mar

which cost about $40 Oii-;h as they

brought from the stouecutter's shops on
trucks into the elevator, which occu
pies "the interior of the monument.
Each stone weighs about three toii9,
anil the elevator can easily accommo
date two of them. "The man at the
wheel" consumes seven or eight min
utes in hoisting them. On reaching
the top. the cranej an arm of the der
rick, takes hold of each stone, and b' a
little guiding, the immense weight
ae easily placed in position as if it wore
a brick. The corner stones are Al ways
6et first. The two stonesetters have
each four masons waiting on them, and
one cement man for t'ie two. These
eleven men make up the complement
working each day on the tep, and who
if seen at all by people below them,
look about the eizo of infants. Ex

JOHN FITZGERALD ON BLAINE.
We notice by an interview had with
Johu Fit age raid by the (Lincoln)
Journal man that that sturdy Irishman,
in whose mind the wrongs of Ireland
are ever uppermost, thinks Blaine will
receive a large Irish vote because, Hr.
Fitzgerald says, when speaking of New
York, "I believe Blaine will poll thous
ands of Irish votes in that State.
"They (Irishmen)waut a vigorous poli
cy. They want an administration
''that will make England keep her proj
,-er piaee."
THE PEOP'S.
There is one refreshing feature alout
the average paragraph, and rstiScation
speech going the rounds, over which,
everybody cau iunoeentiy smile, and
that is the sterreotypod gratulatioi
that the people triumphed at Chicago,
and that at tbe expense of the politic
ians.
It would appear that all the poit
ucians, in the recent Lu'curd conven
tion, were supporting Edmunds, Ar
thur, Logan, Iiawley and Sherman
We suppose the moment those Ohio
and Illinois juveniles forsook their po
litical idols, Shermau aud Logan, they
were entitled to ue caned and became
of the people. The Herald has a far
greater resptct for the accomplished
statesmen and politician than .it has
for the professional, sore-toed, reformer
and peoples man.
A SCATHING REVIEW.
Gov. Cleveland, who is now being
groomed as a Democratic candidate for
President, is thus described by tbe
New York Tribune:
"No oue can point to any reforms
inaugurated by G rover Cleveland. His
messages, as stated by democratic news
papers, have been ' crude and ill-con-
feidered." They do not suggest even a
knowledge of National affairs, and
show nothing original in regard to
state questions. All the partisan
measures rushed through the ecauda-
iuu ucmucrauc legislature oi ioou
were approved by the Governor. He
nominated for the responsible office of
Commissioner of Emigration a well
known political tool of Boss McLaugh
i . j a t t r , rifl
lin, and tried to force on the merchants
of this city a lot of bankrupt demo
cratic politicians as Harbormasters and
Pert Vardens. Ha approved such par
tisan measures aa that to put money in
the Sheriff's pocket by transferring, at
great expense to the city, prisoners
Irom the Tombs to Ludlow street jail
a measure denounced by the Roosevelt
committee. And although the Sheriff
aud other democratic county officers
were shown months ago to have ille
gally withheld large sums of the pub
lic money the Governor has taken no
steps to recover it or to remove tliem.
though it ia by statute made his special
buiiues3 to do so: aud he has gained
credit for approving some of the splen
did reform measures passed by the last
Republican legislature, llut for orig
inating ami pushing Juiwaru those
fI
tied to
.
act on I
measures Gov. Cleveland is euti
no credit, uud h'9 failure to
he testimony developed by the legiiS
la ive committees is positive!- discred
it able to him, wniie bU veto of' the
Tenure-of-Oflke bill ia a direct insult
to every honost man in New York.
Thetruth Is that fov. Cleveland avail
ability as a democratic candidate rests
wholly on the fact that be ha3 little
kcowJudgt of NaUooai quegtiocj ftod
no record concerning them, and that he
was elected Governor by a large major-
to
ty. A fortnight before his nomination
ho was almost unknown outside of
Erie
county. He was elected upon an issue
regarding which he was not a leader.
If the democrats can afford to
pass
by their natural leaders, such men as
Carlisle, McDonald and Bayard, to take
up Cleveland no friend to James Q.
Blaine will regret tbe choice.
ELAINE'S AMERICAN POLICY,
Oue of the strongest arguments ad
dressed to the American people in fa
vor of Blaine's election comes from
England. We refer to the comment
made by the Tall Mall Gazette upon
Blaine's nomination, published in yes
terday's Tribune. His selection is re
garded with apprehension on the other
side of the water because, if elected.
Blaine will do more to advance Ameri
can trade interests than to favor Engi
lish trade interests. After explaining
Blaine's Ameiican policy, the Pall Mall
Gazette proceeded to say :
Of course, he does not propose to
drive us out at the point of the bayo
net. He is not a lunatic, but a very
able and 6hrcwd Yankee. But where
ever he can, he will oust us lroui the
position wnicn we noiu; whenever anl
opportunity offors, he will use it to the
uttermost to replace our influence and
our trade by the influence and trade of
me u lined oiaies, ana ne will regaru jt
as his chief object to promote a great
American confederacy under the aegis
of the Government at Washington,
which would tend to increase the ex
port trade of the United States at the
expense of that of G reat Britain. This
is no mere inference from his acts. It
is avo wed in almost so many words in
an article which he published two years
ago in a Chicago magazine, aud it is
confirmed by evtry dispatch which he
wrote during his short tenure of office
under Garfield
TIi above is a veiy fair statement of
Blaine's policy, He proposes by peaca
f&l uieans,.aa the' English writer ad
mite, to supplant European influence
and trade wherever he can on the
American coutiitent by the influence
and trade of the United States. It 13
easy to understand why the Engpoh
stioul 1 dep'oretho successful maugura
tiou of such a policy and would there
fore prefer to see Mr. Blaine defeated
But the very same reason which the
English have for opposing his election
i3 the best reason in the world why the
A mericans should elect him. England
may be the loser by Blaine's policy but
the United States will be gainers. It is
not because we love England less, but
the Uuited States more, that Mr.
Blaine's policy should be received bv
the American people with an approval
aud a support fully eo-ual to the disan-1
provai auu oppotsiuon it receives at
the hauds of the English people. The
extension of the political and commer
cial influence of the United States by
peaceful methods is the most glorious
ambitior which could fill the bosom of
an American citizen.
England's pre-eminince in the world s
. ... m
u uc yumaiiiy iu a oiei-u I
fast adlierence to the very policy which
meets with English opposition when it
is proposed for the United States.
Whenever England has gained a foot
hold in any quarter of the globe she
has watched it protected it, and devel
oped it. The unpopularity with which
Gladstone's Government is threatened
today is due to remissness and tardi-
nes3 in defending England's interests
on foreign soil. Mr. Blaine's ambition
does not contemplate conquest, nor ac
quisition of territory, nor complica
tions of an' Kind with foreign govern
ments. But he looks forward to the
development of more intimate politi
cal and trade relations among the na
tious of tbe American continent.
et
laud is not to be driven out by the
sword, but the geographical advantages
and material resources of the United
States are to be developed and im
proved by Government support to the
tnd that the people of this country
may enjoy them in the fullest extent,
Englaud may not like that prospect;
but is there anything aoout it which is
calculated to excite the opposition of
the American people? It is to be hoped
that the English newspapers will con-
. 6., . , ,.
tiuue to veutilate Biaine- policy, aud
. .... .
that they will be aseisted by the dudes
and cowurds oa this side of the Atlan
tic, fur nothing will reach the hearts
of the American people more quickly
or more directly than a vigorous Araeri
cuu policy. Oicago Tribune.
