WHO STRUCK HIM?
Kver since lire election the demo-
crats have been wan ing to know
"wlio struck Hill Patterson.” Or in
other words they have been trying to
guess where the. are ut '1 hey seem
to be in a sort of a dazed condition.
They evidently don't know whether it
is because they did or because they
didn't. It would be an act of human-
ity to relieve this distress and we ob-
serve among our exchanges several
papers laboring assiduously to that
effect— or rattier toward that effect,
for it is evident that their progress is
very slow. San Francisco is a long
ways from Washington, but even at
that remote distance the people seem
to have a very just conception of the
situation. The Examiner, the demo-
cratic organ of the Pacific coast, has
this to say of the result of the recent
elections:
Mr. Cleveland understands now how
the American masses view his insolent
attempt to play the role of a dictator
who would make both congress and
the supreme court creatures of his
will Eight months of Caesarism have
done their work Mr. Cleveland lias
wrecked his party. Congress has been
taught that it is bet er police to fol-
low the democratic platform than
obey the orders of the gentleman
whose egotism closes his eves to facts
and his ears to advice.
We have no oil to pour on the
troubled waters. The democratic
party has b en out of power so long,
and has indorsed so many isms and
resorted to so much subterfuge, that
it finds itself unable to agree upon
any single measure which presses for
solution or adjustment.
It affects to be s rprised at Cleve-
land, but Cleveland is only carrying
out the policy which he has outlined
in his letters and mi ssages all through
his public career, 'lhe party now
finds itself in the position of a woman
who marries a drunkard in the hope
of reforming him afterward She
soon realizes that the best step would
have been to reform him first. It
would doubtless have been best for the
party to have chosen a man who had
always been in line with democratic ]
principles, tint l.ke the woman,since
the choice is made there are only two
evils to choose from, ab olute divorce
or a life of continual misery. From all
appearance the party has chosen a
life of continual misery, and we don’t
feel like interf ring. Let the hide go
with the tallow. It is no fight of ours.
It will only hasten the day when the
people of the country will rise up in
their might and decide that the citi-
zen and not the dollar shall rule in
this republic.
When all the election returns come
in we may have something more to
say about the r suit. It seems to be
the policy of the plutocratic press to
suppress everything that does not
show up favorably to one or the other
of the wings of Wall streot.
We are constantly reminded by the
old party papers that good times are
coming. We beg to inform the o p
ps. that they have been coming along
time. What we want is good times
arrived, amoved, ariven or in other
words we want to see good times now.
If southern democrats don't stop
kicking against tariff reduction on
southern products, the republican
party will soon be obliged to assume
a position in favor of free trade, or
something of that sort, in order to
get up a show of a fightover the tariff
question. These southern democrats
ought to know that the who e tiling
is a sham and only resorted to for the
purpose of throwing dust iu the peo-
ple‘6 eyes. _

Virginia.
The hardest fought battle ground
this year was in Virginia. The re
publicans had no ticket in the field
and the contest was for state officers
between the p pu-ists and democrats.
Many thought the populists would re-
ceive’ material aid from the republi-
cans, but such « as not the case The
records show that the democrats
utilized more republi, an votes than
the populists received. Especially
was this true in the counties having a
lai ge negro population, it can be
truthfully said th ,t it was the negro
vote ami the glaring methods of fraud
practiced that saved the democratic
party from ignominious defeat. But
the whole power of the administra-
tion was thrown into the democratic
1 campaign and nothing was left un-
done io save the state to the adminis
tratii n people. The populists in
creased their vote, however, in
sixty-three counties They increased
their vote iu the state from
12,275, east for Weaver ami Field ill
1892, to 78,439 for the populist state
ticket in 1893. The democratic vote
fell from 103,977 in 1892 to 126,251 iu
1893, a loss of 35,720.
Kaiidah.
The plutocratic press all over the
country lias been crowing over the re-
sult in Kansas. The full returns and
a careful examination of the results,
however, will indicate that it crowed
bo til too loud and too soon.
There is no doubt but that a portion
of '.lie success in past elections in
Kansas lias been due to democratic
votes. Just what the st ei gth ot that
vote was has b.en hard to d termine.
VALUE OF THE REFORM PRESS-
The politicians at Washington would
find it an easy matter to fool the peo-
ple but for the refortn press. Just
after the present administration went
in it was announced that pension re-
form had begun and millions would
be saved. Every administration pa
per published the tie, and it would
have gone on that way had the reform
press remained sil nt. More recently
reform fin.mcial legislation was an-
nounced. "h«; repeal of the Sherman
law witbo..' t substitute is not re-
form, an Hus only taken the re
form press a few weeks to expose the
whole conspiracy and convince a ma-
jority of the people that they have
been duped. Pretty soon a tariff bill
will pass. From present indications
it will be a greater fraud than any yet
attempted. There will be no reduc-
tion at all. The papers will be loaded
to convince the public that they are
getting Iariff reform, but the reform
press will compare figures and expose
the fraud. Now can you afford to do
without such papers" — Progressive
Farmer I Ha eigh, N. U. I
At first the democrats quarreled
among themselves over the distribu-
tor of the offices. Then they quar-
reled over the silver quest on. Now
they differ on the pension policy of
the administration and are also hav-
ing a “monkey and parrot” time over
the tariff schedule. This is most truly
an exemplification of tho saying,
“whom the gods would destroy they
I first make mad.^

would buy two debt paying dollars.
Now tlie gold bugs dollar will buy-
two of the farmer's bushels of wheat,
and the farmer lias to part with four

is making "honest dollars" and some
fool farmers are voting for it
Not long ago the people of this
nat on were startlid and surprised to
learn that Grover C eveland, tho
President of this republic, had sought
to overthrow another republic and es
tablish a monarchy.
A prominent statesman of the past
used to say that the democratic party
could be depended on to do the fool
thing at the right time. This cer-
tainly applies to Cleveland s latest
pose as the giant bully of little Ha-
waii. But having just succeeded in
bulldozing a eongressinto submission,
why should fie not tackle another gov-
ernment conveniently small, and say
to a foreign people, “Abolish your
republic and reinstate your queen’ V
What does it really mean below the
surface?
in the demonetization of silver, the
Kotlisehiids pulled the string and the
monkey of the white house jumped.
So in this affair. From the beginning,
the international swindling syndicate
has been opposed to a free government
in Hawaii, und English influence lias
been continuously used to restore the
queen and our government alone has
morally sustained, the provisional gov-
ernment now in existence. This re-
cent act of Cleveland is nothing short
of piracy on the high seas. Why does
he meddle with this little island
group at all?
His action is unconstitutional and
unwarranted. A for ’er administra-
tion adopted a given policy and recog-
nized the provisional government,and
the action of a previous administra-
tion can not be thus set aside by a sub-
sequent one.
Notwithstanding this, Cleveland ap
points Mr. Blount, a subordinate ofii
cial. not only to review but practically
to revise the oflicial acts which had
practically become law. This High-
handed course is equal to that he em-
ploys regarding his appointments.
He names his henchmen, and if they
fail of the approval of the senate he
coolly confirms them himself.
This is not written in justification
of either form of government in
Hawaii. It is far too difficult to get
at the truth in regard to rival rulers
in a far cou try to decide hastily for
eithi r, but this does not alter the fact
I that Cleveland is still figuring in the
I role of the great American blunderer,
I not only in his relations with his own
party and country,but in foreign mat-
ters besides. He has split his own
narty in two on the silver question,
ami if rumor is correct, he lias almost
split his cabinet on the Hawaiian
question.
Press reports from Washington state
that Secretary Morton and Hoke Smith
have been on ihe verge of resigning,
and that Cleveland finding that a
veritable hurricane * of protest has
risen among tlie people in opposition
to his policy, now proposes to hedge
and say that he “was only in fun,” and
rumor says he will try to make a
scapegoat of Gresham, just as he did
of Voorhees.
Since Voorhees’ action in the senate,
the couotry has spoken, and spoken
in such thundering ones that the In
diana renegade thinks the soil of the
Hoosier state is not good for him. His
constituency do not support him in his
selling out to the enemy, and Indiana,
which probably contains more old
soldiers than any other state, has a
few words to say about the theory of
h s chief on pensions.
Now in analyzing the vote of the
country, the fact must not be over-
looked that the suspension of the
pen ions of 14,uu0 old soldiers had
something to do with the re-
sults. Thousands of soldier demo-
crats not only went over to the
republicans, but carried their friends
with them, and Voorhees. to righ
h mself in the eyes of his constituency,
and to cancel his treason on the silver
question, proposes to return to Wash-
ington and lead the tight against
Cleveland and the commissioner of
pensions on their pension policy.
If Cleveland succeeds in maintain-
ing his record as instigator of Kil-
kenny cat-tights in his own ranks he
will beat himself and his party with
but little outside assistance from his
enemies. He has antagonized past
reconciliation the true patriots of his
owu party and of the country at large,
i What President was everso brilliantly
successful in dividing his own ranks?

west and tlie south on the silver issue
and the north and eii’t on pensions

tyrannical fooll He is floundering
about like a hen with her head cutoff.
In addition to the blunders already
committed lie has latelv been nlavimr
the shorn lamb act in Wall street. I*
is rumored bv those who ought to
know, that during the four years he
was out of office the gamblers induced
him to speculate and permitte
him to win a cool million. This made
a financier of him, in his own
opinion, and bound him to the gang
of pirates by the only bonds he recog
nizes, but tile tables are turned and
the press reports now hint vers p
ly that Cleveland’s recent hurried visit
to New York was for the purpose of
turning over lo the FT all stre. t gam
biers who had fleeced him to the tune
of *100,990. real estate aud securities
for that amount.
It is also stated that he nas been
speculating in Chicago gas. a Mock for
which he might have some affinity,
one would fanev, as well as in Sen«ril1
electric, and the recent slump had
flattened his pocketbook. Now, it
the P rates had, with the aid of Nena-
tor Iscariot of Ohio, got their bond
scheme through, I should be inclined
to believe they might be al ou ready
to throw Cleveland overboard, having
used him for all he was worth, hut it
is probable they have still some work
for him to do. He has become, how-
ever, so intensely unpopu ar all round
the lot th it possibly they arc prepar-
ing to turn him down and pick up a
more popular tool.
Hated at home and despised abroad,
but for his power of appointment and
distribution of patronage he would to-
day be a hack number. Having east

the east, regardless of party affilia-
tions. having ignored, scorned and
abused the democratic leaders of every
other section and shown himself the
truckling slave of Wall street, what
will he his ultimate reward? Ob-
scurity, oblivion? No, hut eternal
obloquy, for is lie not either
the hugest blockhead or the
worst traitor to a people that ever

thority?”
Georoe F Washburn.
Boston. Mass., Nov. 21, 1893,
LABOR MUST UNITE.
Only Uniform Exertion Will lll.loeale
Urred.
The time has come when labor in
the various industries—in the shop
and field must unite and present a
solid, unbroken front. Too Ion# have
the followers of the plow and tho
mowers of hay been separated by
prejudice and selfishness from affilia-
tion with the city industrialist, he
who shapes the field toiler's harrow
and scythe, and manufactures for him
the various necessities of life.
In the name of justice, equity and
common sen e. why should not the
producers of the world stand together?
Their interests are identical, their
wrongs the same. Long ere this these
two mighty forces in the world’s prog-
ress would have clasped hands across
the chasm of prejudice had it not been
for the wily politician and the schem-
ing parasite who have lived an 1 kept
themselves in power by keeping alive
this foolish prejudice.
'l he time is now ripe for a union of
the shop and farm laborers. For lo,
these many years they have been bam-
boo/led, fooled and lied to by these in-
human vultures that they might grow
fat and prosper off the proceeds of the
toilers through plunder and corrup-
tion.
Is it not plain to (he tiller of the
soil that the only wav a market can
be created for his products is through
the prosperity of the mechanic?
When he (the mechanic) is employed
at remunerative wage^ he is a con-
sumer, and as such buys freely the
products of the farm.
Is it not also patent to the mechanic
that when the farmer can readily dis-
pose of his pro lucts at profitable
prices he at once becom s a buyer of
manufactured articles of the factory,
thus making work for the mechanic
and a demand for the products of his
skill?
Then why are not your interests
identical? “Ye hewers of wood and
drawers of water”—ye workers in the
factories and shops, come together,
study your interests, act, and then,
