The Times-Mountaineer SATURDAY NOVEMBER 11. 1893 THE VERDICT. In nearly every state that cast its vote yesterday there are large Repub lican gains, and the verdict of the people at the ballot-box has been in favor of protection and the national administration of affairs as outlined by the old party. On Nov. 8th last, there was decreed a change in national affairs, and since that time the country has passed through the worst panic ever experienced in its history. Re publicans have been firmly convinced that the financial depression followed in consequence of the Democratic vic tory, and, in the halls of congress dar ing the special session just closed, have repeatedly laid this charge at the feet of Democracy. On this account the fall elections were watched with more than usual interest, as it was expected the effect would give an emphatic rebuke to Cleveland and the Chicago platform. The results of the election yesterday are- sufficiently known for . every intellectual man to understand that the tidal wave is setting in a dif ferent direction from what it did last year. In Ohio the issue was clearly and unequivocally made, and Major Mc- Kinley, the apostle of protection, headed the ticket During the can vass he has kept protection before the people, and from almost every forum in that state has emphatically stated that the financial depression suffered was caused by the shadow of free trade falling on the different industries of the nation. The battle was fought al most entirely on this one principle, and it was hotly contested and a Wat erloo suffered by the enemy. Iowa fell into line with the Populist? a few years ago, and the Republican ticket has been defeated ever since, Ihe party allien ltsslf with matters not proper subjects for legislation, and this caused great dissatisfaction in the ranks. But the Democratic victory last fall, aiid the disastrous consequen C3S following have caused this statu to come back to tb fold with it u-ua! majority. Massachusetts, Now JVrsp j and otber states have wheeled into line, and have given the- Republican ticket a rousing majority. They have toyed with Democracy and the Populists long enough, and now march back with colors flying and again give evidence of fealty to the old organization that has been the frtonj of national unity national honesty and national protec tion. It is to be regretted that the elec tion yesterday did not include .every state in the American union, so that the entire sovereign people could speak in emphatic tones against the heresies promulgated by the Chicago platform and in condemnation of the farcical proceedings of the first Democratic congress that has convened in Wash ington kCity since 1861. ' In a 'few weeks the regular session of the na tional legislature will meet, and, while it may be an improvement on the special one just closed, it will not dare, in the face of the vote yesterday, to attempt to inaugurate any change of policy in the administration of affairs. The Republican majorities in Ohio, Iowa, Kansas, Massachusetts and other states say to the Democratic party, you must not. repeal the Mc- Kmley bill or attempt other legislation wbich will jeopardize the industries of the country. TEE LESSON TAUGHT. Several reasons will be assigned for the recent Republican victory by the disappointed Democrat That Ohio should give Mr. McKinley a good ma rarity is no surprise to any one: but that this should swell until it reached nearly 100,000 is a matter of aston ishment to all. Mr. Boies, of Iowa, was one of the most popular men in the state, and his defeat is a matter of astonishment to the natioq. The same ; is true of Mr. Russell in Massachu setts, were the mugwumps and Dem ocrats have combined for years to de feat the Republican ticket. ' New York, under the management of that school of politicians, Tammany hall, with a president in the White Housej and David R Hill in harmony with party methods, was considered solidly Democratic; but the result Tuesday proved all previous calculations falla cious. Then comes New Jersey wheeling into line also, and some of the hitherto Populist western states. It is more than a victory; it is a total rout of the Democratic party in their own strongholds. Of course, elections following national ones are usually re actionary; but never in the history of the country has there been such a sud den change in popular feeling in less than a year, that a party very trium phant in a presidential canvass has been so overwhelmingly defeated a few months after at the ballot-box. There was an object to be accomplished and a lesson to be taught, and by studying conditions and circumstances these may be readily learned. From every forum in the country Demo cratic orators heralded forth last year that a change in the economic policy of the nation was necessary, and the toilers were willing to make the trial. Democracy was victorious, and the shadow of free trade fell on every in dustry in the country. Capitalists withdrew their investments, factories shut down and manufacturing indus tries stood s till A vast army of wage-earners were thrown out of em ployment, business of all kinds be came depressed, and want and starva tion were the let of many. Election day came again last Tuesday,and those who had voted for Cleveland and the Chicago platform last November re alized the great mistake they had made and were eager to make repara tion for the evila they had inflicted on the nation. This is the reason of the sweeping Republican victory, and the majorities given the old party mean that the people desire no free trade or other change from the safe and sound policies of Republican administrations. It will be wise if the Democratic party heed this warning; but if they do not, in 1896 the avalanche will have gath ered moinemtum and Democracy will be so badly defeated and demoralized that it will be impossible ever again to rally the forces. OF GREAT SIGNIFICANCE. This is an off year in state politics. Oaly thirteen out of the forty lour states will held state elections Iowa, Nebraska, Kentucky,Maryland, Mass achusetts, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Da kota, Virginia and Wisconsin. Of these, but five Iowa, Massachusetts, Ohio, Wisconsin and Virginia, will elect full tickets. Eight choose judges or legislatures, and three of the legis latures to be chosen will elect United States senators Iowa, Kentucky and Virginia. An exchange says: "The greatest political interest has undoubt edly settled in Ohio, where tha contest is made up principally of the tariff is sue. After Ohio, the elections in Iowa, Massachusetts, Wisconsin and Virginia are next of interest. In these states the contest for the state ticket will be very close, and politicians will watch the returns with great interest." While there may be a peculiar interest in the states mentioned, yet all elec tions this yew will be of more than usual significance. Since the inaugu ration of Mr. Cleveland the Democ racy has assumed complete control of national affairs, and, whether as a con sequence or coincidence, the country has suffered the most deplorable finan cisl distress. Banks bavo suspended, factories have closed, and hundreds of thousands of wage earners been thrown out of employaieot. The ooly way in which the people in this country ex press their coafidenee in the policy adopted by any party is at the ballot- box, and a verdict may be expected to-morrow on the desirableness of the Chicaeo platform a, a national text book. In this regard, the ballot- may lm iudictative of the fct whether the electors of - the United States believe the change in the administration caused the recant depression in trade or should be credited to other condi tions. We ar8 sorry that only a por tion of the states give expression to t!ie popular will to-morrow, and earn estly defciro that it would comprehend the en'irft nation, aod that overy voter from Maine to California and from Minnesota-to Texas would unequivo cally express his approval or disap proval of Democratic methods. TEE XT. 8. SENATE. Ad exchange, during a "lucid inter val," in speaking of the oqual repre sentation from each state in the TJ. S. senate, perpetrates the following non sense: "Twenty-nine million people have sixty-eight senators from thirty four small states, and thirty-two mil lion have but twenty senators from ten other states. This sort of repre sentation is a disgrace to intelligent people who pretend to rule by major ities. It is more than that, a great wrong. The" senate on present lines, has no right to exist." This plan was adopted by the wisest statesmen who ever honored the republic, and any other would be manifestly wrong. What rights would Oregon have in congress if she could be outvoted in the senate by New York, Pennsylva nia or any of the larger states as she is in the house) None whatever, and she might as well be attached to Can ada or Mexico. If the northwest did not have equal representation with the populous east in the U. S. senate, the canal and locks at the Cascades would never have been placed under the con tract system, the Portland-Wallula land grant would never have been for feited, and Oregon, Washington and Idaho would not be known except during presidential years at the na tional capital. While frre institutions remain, and tnere are small common wealths that need recognition from the general government, the status of the higher branch of the' national legisla ture should remain as it now is. When larger communities have in creased representation in the U. S. senate, class legislation will prevail, the machine and king caucus will rule at Washington City, and the weaker will be under the domination of the stronger. With representation ac cording to population in both branches of congress a republic would not afford a greater guarantee of freedom than a constitutional monarchy. It should not be forgotten that the Republican party is responsible for the financial condition in which the coun try was found when the Democrats took charge of the government. G: -ver Cleveland turned over a full tr t .sury to Benjamin Harrison, and . jamin and his Republican friends emptied it before they handed it back to Grover. The Sherman law was a Republican measure, passed to save the silver states to Harrison at the last election. Salem Democrat. In the first place Bro. Flagg knows that the first time since 1861 when the Democrats "took charge of the gov ernment" was on March 4, 1893. When Mr. Cleveland was elected in 1884, the senate was Republican, and the Democrats failed to pass a single partisan measure. The chief execu tive cannot perform any legislative function, and can do nothing to deplete or replenish the treasury. Since last March Democracy has had full sway, and the people know how it has man aged affairs to their lasting sorrow. The Sherman act saved tho country from free coinage, which the Demo crats had threatened at that time. It was simply a truce with , the euemie of honest money until the forces could be arrayed to a better advantage. PRINTED WORDS. The verdict of a trial jury in Port land finding two of the publishers of tho Mercury guilty of libel defines the boundaries of that style of journalism, and there are limits to public criticism in other matters which may be as clearly marked. There is no denying the fact that the modern Archimedean lever which moves , the world is the newspaper, and this is a great power for good or evil, as the editor or man ager may feel inclined. From the con sideration of their great influence the controllers of newspapers should be held responsible to the community for the manner in which it is exerted. Spoken words soon pass from the memory, hut published sentences live on and on forever, often accomplishing their greatest benefit or evil after the author has "molded away and joined his kindred dust." The sermon of the preacher or the speech of the lawyer may thrill for a moment; but they have no lasting effect until reduced to piiuted language, and then become in a certain measure immortal inde structible. A few hundred listeners, many of whom are inattentive and simply attend because of the crowd who are present, is the audience to whom the great legal lights display their eloquence, and pour forth their burning words; while the most insig nificant editor of the country weekly writes for ten times that number, and his words are criticised by old and voung and all classes and conditions of mankind. The utterances of tha one mav be forgotten in an hour, but the J o language of tho other will withstand the ravages of time, and may be repro duced a hundred times and thus be dissolubly linked with all coming time. With the orator of the foru it is the enthusiasm of the passing moment he courts, which may scintil late very brilliantly for an instant and then pass into the shadows of the for getfulness of oblivion. But the wri ter looks to the generation yet unborn, and intimately allies himself with th future, which should be ever presen to his conscience. For these reasons -the publishers cf public prints" a re held to a great responsibility, and the per fect freedom of he press might jeo pardize the best interests of the com munity. The editor and publisher should thoroughly understand great power which he wields, and should be circumspect and conscien ious iu the manner in which it used. The conditions of life are Euch in the United States, and the strain on the nervous system so constant, that it 18 no matter of surprise that "cranks" appear to increase at the occurrence cf any unusual event If it were otherwise the general rules governing the human machine would be contro verted, and all laws of health and longevity would be false. There is no denying the fact that Americans wear out mentally and physically sooner than other nationalities, and are more liable to be governed by hobbies and idisoyncracies than those who take life easier and are not so mercurial in dis position. Under our free institutions, with the weight of government on every man's shoulders, and every one a law unto himself, the wheels of the machine may become easily disar ranged or completely put out of place. There is one consolation that Ameri cans have. - In the same time they have more of life its joys, sorrows and disappointments than the aver age European, who does not totter and fall into the grave until old. age and decrepitude overtakes him, and rarely journeys ten miles from his birth place. In the same number of years, perhaps no peron,except the Parisian, lives as long as the citizen of this re public. Judge Munly lid the law down clearly and plainly in his charge to the jury in the trial of the publishers of the Sunday Mercury for criminal libel, when he said it made no difference whether the managers did not write or authorize the writing of the article, or even did not see it until after it was published, they were guilty of the crime. Xnis is in accordance witb. Judge Cooley in Constitution Limita tions, where it is stated that the gist of the crime is not in the authorship of a libellous article, but'in its publi cation, and the publisher is held to the same responsibility for the printed matter in his paper as the druggist is for the poisons he recklessly exposes for sale, without proper labels, on his shelves. Ther is no such thing as "freedom of the press." It was never known under the common law, and has never been extended under the statutes of the different states. When Utopia shall dawn upon the world, "then nhall the press the people's rights maintain, unawed by power and unswerved by gain,' and not until then. EDITORIAL NOTES. Congress adjourned tine die yester day, having at last accomplished the task for which it waa called. It is said that "cranks" are increas ing, and it is not at ail surprising with the want and poverty now prevailing over the land that men's minds should become unbalanced. If toe late rams have damaged large quantities of grain the ground was never in better condition for fall plowing. It is an ill wind or rain that does no one any good. Gov. Peunoyer has appointed the fourth Thursday in November as Thanksgiving day, and if President Cleveland, in his national proclama tion, selects another time, Oregonians will have two legal holidays this month. There is no doubt that full justice will be done Prendegast by the crimi nal court of Chicago, without any aid from the press of the country. The crime is the worst known to our laws, and if insanity is no defense there is no use of any trial If such is to be the rule of courts in this country here- ' after the poor lunatic should be hanged to the first lamp-past, and a trial would simply be a farce. A cotemporary says that Cleveland is a "sigle" man. Mrs. Cleveland, Ruth and Esther will object to call ing "papa" single, ai well they might. The news from the states where the recent elections were held continue to increase the majorities for the Repub licaus. There was evidently a politi cal tidal wave last Tuesday, The Democratic congress will not dare to change the tariff laws in face of the vote of last Tuesday, and we may expect as soon as the people are assured that no "change" will be made public confidence will be restored. Death is still reaping a rich harvest by accidents on railroads ' and on steamboats, and several have been added to the list of the unfortunates during the past wtek. Somebody has blundered, and, in consequence, human lives have been sacrificed. Some body should be punished for negli gence. The Telegram says that President Cleveland caused the Democrat defeat last Tuesday, and the Oregonian says the victories are for Cleveland and the Republican party. Perhaps both of our esteemed cotemporaries may be right in part and wrong in part. It was undoubtedly a rebuke to the Dem ocratic party, and Mr. Cleveland, as the head of the organization, must take hia share of the blame. The silver men say they have not given up the fight; but are again pre paring for battle. It may be ex pected that the next contest will be at the ballot box, when tne forces of free-coinage will make a desperate attempt to recover lost ground. But from present indications the special session was their Waterloo, and they will never be able to present as solid a front to their enemies as they did at that time. Some men who pretend to be edu cated and abreast with the progress of the age, advocate that "cranks" should be summarily dealt with, if such an idea were put into practice we believe the sane 'men weuld be outnumbered and suffer defeat, and the country would be under the domination of those of unsouud and unstable minds. It is advisable to' wait until th army of cranks decrease, and lhera.is some show for sensible men to have equal chances. The last Thursday in this month will be generally observed in this state as Thanksgiving da'y, notwithstanding the proclamation of Governor Pen noyer appointing the fourth Thursday. Every citizen must consider hit duty to the United States a paramount of that to the state, and his fealty if such a word can he nsed iu ' a free country to the president primary and to the governor secondary. Of course, under our statutes, both days might be considered legal holidays in Oregon but the presidential Thanksgiving will be the national one. When a community assumes to be a municipality very many rights of the individual must be sacrificed to the benefit of the majority. There was a time in The Dalles when cows, pigs and horses ran at large;, but such nuisance would not be tolerated now. This is right, and all good citizens will upheld the enforcement of all ordi nances which have for their object the public weal. During the last few weeks there have been two or three disastrous runaways by h Arses being alio wed to remain loose in the streets and the law requiring them to be se curely fastened in some place away from the public thoroughfares is good one and should be enforced. Of course, no reasonable interpretation of this will preclude tne milkman from allowing his animal to remain station ary while he waits on bis customers,and there may be other exceptions. Bu The Dalles is a city, and desires to re main so. It does not want to go back to the era of the town pump and pas turing cows, horses and hogs on the public thoroughfares. TELEGRAPHIC SEWS. Tne English Commons. . London, Nov. 6 Parliamentary secre tary ot the colonial office, Mr. Buxton, in the commons todav said that the latest information was that EjDg Lobengula was not a fugitive, but was still hostile. According to Buxton, the war cannot be said to have ended, and no action taken on tne case will prejudice tne govern ment's Coal decision as to the future of Matabele land. Gladttone said the gov. eminent bad no intention of setting apart a day for discussing tne Matabele question, as Laboucbere proposed, where upon liabouchere said be would soon take steps to obtain a day. Sir Edward Gray, replying to George Baden-l owell, regarding tbe seizure of the Henrietta in tbe Bebring tea, said the government bad filed a protest against tbe action of tbe United States authorities. Gladstone, replying to John Red mood's question, said tbe government felt it to be its duty to continue tbe busi ness of tbe present sitting to the parish councii and employers' liability bills, as well a .the nnai disposition of bills passed during the earlier portions of tbe session. I no government proposed to reserve the power of taking up any non contentions bins it tnere was a passing necesiity lor so doing, and if it were the general desire of tbe bouse to do so.. Tbe premier then reminded Redmoad of tbe statement made by Chief Secretary Mor ley that a bill lor the relief of evicted tenants woull be introduced during tbe next session. Sexton reminded both side that as tbey had ugreed to clause 13 of tbe land act of 1891 it could not be regarded as contentious. Chief Secre tary Morley said be was willing to pro pose a renewal of the clause if Balfour would consent. Balfour in reply said be could not possibly give bis assent to the introduction of a fragmentary bill. A Hensational Halt. Madison, Wis, Nov. 6. Governor George W. Peck, Attoroer-General J. L.

Barcelona, Nov. 8 A dynamiu. bomb, thrown by anarchists into tbe midst of a crowded theater, is the latest outrage and disaster in Spain. The Liceo theater, a magnificent building, tbe lar geos of its kind in Europe, was filled last night with a distinguished audience, es timated tojnumber 4000, tbe opera "Wil liam Tell" being given. While the per formance was in progress two dynamite bombs were hurled from tbe topmost gal lery into the midst of tbo stalls. One exploded with a detonation wbich shook the build'ng to tbe foundations and scat tered death aod destruction on every side. Tbe second bomb fell Into tbe lap of a lady, and rolled thence harmlessly to tbe floor. A scene ot confusion and terror followed. Tbe audience rose to its feet in a panic, scarcely realizing what bad happened, wbile.the building rang witb cries of pain, shrieks of fear, aud excla mations of vengeance. The terror and panic increased as tbe audience-room tilled witb smoke and dut from the fall ing plaster, with broken g'ass falling on tbe panic stricken audience adding to tbe number, of wounded After a mo ment of paralyzing teiror. fe-irs of otber bombs being thrown overcame all rea son, and be audience made a mad rush for tbe exits, women and children receiv ing no consideration in thu fierce Strug - gle, and being trampled beneath tbe feet and crushed aud left witb tbe otber wounded and dying behind them as tbey sought tbe open air. Ooly a few of tbe braver ones remained behind to care for tbe loved ones lying help'ess aod bleed ing on tbe floor. When tbe gorged exits were finally cleared, a horrible sight was presented to those who mustered enough courage to return to the rescue of thoae unable to help themselves Tbe stalls where the bomb exploded was a mass of splintered wreckage, amid which lay large number of dend loi:ts, some man gled beyond recognition. When th wreckage was finally e'enred away 15 bodies were revealed, s x men and nine women, a'l frightfully torn and disfig- ured Most of them were members of one family, who. it is supposed, former! a gay theater party in honor of the birth day of one of their number. .In the stalls adjoining, groaning with pain, lay man ladies and gentlemen, wounded by frag ments of the bomb, splioters of wood pieces of glass and bits of iron. Several were so seriously hurt they cannot re cover. Attention was next turned to tho exits and stairways, where tbe - terribl ciush fol 'owing tbe explosion occurred Here three dead and a large Dumber of wounded were picked up. Physicians were hastily summoned I o care forth wounded, while tbo bodies of the dead were tenderly ranwd and removed from the building. Among tbe dead is a American named Figueras, and bis wife was wounded. Great crowds surrounded the theater all night. The utmost con sternatioo prevails over the evident in ability of tbe government to cope witb tbe situation. Ibe bombtbrower escaped Tbe police are making a general round up ot anarchists in bopes ol getting some clew to tbe dastard wbo threw the bomb, Tbe missile which did not explode is tbe exact counterpart ol, those used by Pal emas, tbe anarcbisvwbo tried to assass mate General Martinez Campos. A Surprise to Everybody. Washington, Nov. 8 The result of the election has been a surprise to all parties here. In fact, they do not accord with tbe predictions of either Democrats. -Republicans or Populists. The only grain of comfort for tbe Democrats is in tbe defeat of the Populisms and the elec tion of O' Fen all in Virginia, where they were terrorized by tbe Populists' claims Tbis, however, is only small comfort in tbe face of the overwhelming slangbt elsewhere. Tbey expected defeat in the states wbere tbe freecomage element was strong, but were not prepared to be snowed under in sound money states like Massachusetts and New York. All the prominent Democratic leaders ascribe the result to two causes; Dissatisfaction of the farmers over tbe financial situa tion, and apathy of the disappointed of fice seekers. Tbe defeat in Iowa is re gretted, not so much on account of in soring the election of a Republican United States senator as in the practical removal of Governor Boies from tbe list of eligible presidential timber. Tbe Populists are much disappointed at their showing, but claims the laiter returns will be better for tbem. About the only complacent men in tbe Democratic rank are tbe silver man, who are in a position to say to tbe president, 'I told you so."
