" WE shall not hear anything more about the probability ot Democratic success in Iowa. That kind of talk Kstopped when Boies fell outside of the breastworks. : ' ~~ . THE Democratic papers are contin­ ually saying that Gen. Harrison's administration is costing the country more than Mr. Cleveland's did. What If it is? It is worth more. GLOBE-DEMOCRAT: That Home­ stead strike shows that the anarchist element of the Democratic party, in Congress and in the press, is much larger tban the general public was aware of. THE Homestead affair reveals that a workingman who, under Republican protection, receives only from $6 to •14 per day is so poorly paid that he is justified in taking up arms. ^MR. STEVENSON is in favor of post­ poning the opening of the campaign till September. The Republicans are already taking many unpleasant lib­ erties with Mr. Stevenson's record. <*• ' THE annual interest charge when Gen. Harrison was inaugurated was $34,578,459.80. June 1, 1892, it was 422,893,881.20--a decrease of $11,- 684,578.60, or more than 33J per cent. THE free use of Frances' name in the campaign of 1888 did not bring success. Mr. Cleveland is convinced that the name of a wife and toother Is too sacred to Use for campaign pur­ poses, as long as it doesn't accomplish anything. r A SOUTHERN Democratic organ says: "In November Democrats in Alabama will sweep the last vestige of Republicanism from the State,". So? We infer "the night riders" aro getting into the saddle again and ready for business. With Democrats to count the vote in Alabama it will be no use for any Republican to vote, even if he is granted the privilege bjp GROVER AS A VETOIST. HERB'S A LIST OF BILLft HE DISAPPROVED. J. . "A DEMOCRAT in whom there was neither variableness nor shadow of turning," says one admiring organ of "General" Stevenson. So? And how about those five times h6 ran for Con­ gress on a Greenback and "People's party" ticket. his lordly masters. v\\-j*}. 'ggggagaawjl' ; WITH twenty odd Democratic bal­ lot-box stuffers of Jersey City in the New Jersey penitentiary and sixty more on the way, the Democratic State will be compelled, erfe long, to make provision for more prisons to hold that valuable contingent. Worse than that, the election of the reform ticket, headed by Mr. Cleve- land, may put in jeopardy. * ; CLEVELAND has not done anything since 1888 to convince the people that they made a mistake in refusing to give him a second term; therefore, It is not reasonable to expect that they will reverse the verdict which they then rendered. THOSE who undertook to make capital out of the fact that the man­ ager of the Idaho mines in which there is striking and violence, is a Republican, should haul off for repairs -when they learn that ex-Governor Houser, the leading Democrat in Montana, is the owner of the mines. Homestead strike, as now stated by the workmen themselves, is that a reduction of 12 percent, was pro­ posed in the wages of 325 out of 4,000 men, and that the 325 were men whose earnings were from $6 to •J 5 per day. The "heaters" received 414.66 per day and their helpers 910 per day as against $2 per day in . • . . • •• DENVER SUN: About the first thing that has happened to the Democratic candidate for the Ylce Presidency since his nomination has been the springing on him of the ne­ cessity of proving that he was not a member of that ill-famed, treasonable organization, the Knights of the Golden Circle. The gentleman de­ clares thfEt during the war he wa$ strongly in favor of all measures pro­ posed for its vigorous prosecution. But he is not able to say that he aided in the enforcement of any of those measures with sword or musket, oi even witlf voice. ENGLISHMEN retort on us that out Presidential elections cost us more than their royal family does them. That is very likely true. But in our case the money is widely distributed. In theirs it is gathered in by a few. With us the cash goes from the stores of the wealthy to replenish the purses of those commonly not in gorgeously affluent circumstances. With them it is exacted from the people, the poor as well as the rich, to support in extravagant luxury a few persons who have never done anything except to be born in the exalted station. INTER OCEAN: The St. Louis Re­ public hopes that Illinois will not re­ call the late war in the present can­ vass or "assail the Democratic candi­ date on the ground of disloyalty." It says: "The city ot Bloomington, in which Mr. Stevenson lives, was an active center of aggressive Unionism during the war, and has been an ac­ tive center of Republicanism ever since, and the high esteem in which he is held by his neigbors and fellow- townsmen is, itself, a sufficient an­ swer to the charge against him." There is no doubt but that General Stevenson is a clever gentle­ man, and the Inter Ocean is glad that his neighbors speak well of him. But his politics was bad twenty-Ave or thirty years agd and has not im­ proved since. WHILE the Democratic dema­ gogues and newspapers are endeavor­ ing to excite public condemnation of the protective tariff system as re­ sponsible for the recent occurrences in Western Pennsylvania, there is one solid and incontrovertible fact which the locked-out iron-workers, and the iron-workers who are still at work by the hundreds of thousands over the country, and other laboring men as well, will not overlook. It is a fact which gives very small con­ solation to the Democrats, who are attempting to make political capital out of the Homestead rioting. It is the fact that, if there was no pro­ tective tariff in this couptry, there would be no iron mills in it, and there would be no iron-workers to engage in differences with their em­ ployers as to the rate of wages which should be paid to them. Under the free-trade policy of the Democratic party we should be without iron mills and without iron-workers, and the same thing would be true in a vast number of other great indus­ tries in which millions of men are engaged. PIONEER PRESS: For this session ol Congress, at least, we have heard the last of the silver bill. The conspira­ tors who have sought to add to their millions by forcing upon the people a light-weight dollar must retire from the conflict baffled. The silver bill is dead, killed where its expected strength was greatest, in the House of Representatives. It is a consum­ mation for which all good people will be thankful. And the credit of it belongs mainly to the Republican party. It is true that this bill origin­ ated in the Senate, which is Republi­ can. But it contains a body of Inen from the mining States who are silver met first and Republicans afterward. II was by the vote of eleven of these assisted by almost the solid Demo- that the Stewart bill wasipushed through And in the House it was the solic Republican force, led by Mr. Reed, and supported by only a minority ol the Democratic party, which contrib uted the 154 votes against corisidera. ,tion. It is a splendid victory, whosi trophies are principally in Republi can hands.

The pension vetoes of Gr>ver Cleve­ land are rising up like Banqu/s ghost to condemn him. TlieT failure to put a soldier on the Democratic ticket at thfi Chicago convention is now one of the confessed weaknesses of the ticket, and the Democratic statesman of the capital are loud in their protests against this insanity. This, too. with the Copper­ head tendencies of the man whose title ot "general" carried li'm through the thickest of the Vice Presidential con­ test, has alrealy weakened and sappel the strength of Mr. Cleveland. The pathway of Cleveland during tour years is strewn with pension vetoes. Tears like dew are on both sides of the path- widows' tears, too. What did Cleveland reck though he blasted and ruined hopes of broken down veter. ns and sent fami­ lies to poor-houses. The enmity of the Democracy to the soldier i» no no«v thing. It is a living, v ta! issue to-day. The fact that New VciVs Democratic Legislature passed a bid last Wilder to give to the substitute-heirs the money they had paid for the men who had gone in their pldees, is a clear exposi­ tion of the Democratic policy. Under the faw, Cleveland recei\os the money he paid for Brinski's services to him as his substitute, which is paid back by the taxpayers o' New York.

Mr. Cleveland's veto record has been a nightmare to those who wanted to see him re-elected. The number of pension bills vetoed by him during the four years he was President was much greater than the entire number of vetoes made by every President who had preceded him from the time of Washington down. The entire number of vetoes from Washing­ ton to Cleveland was but 133, while tho number of pension vetoes by Mr. Cleve­ land during his littie four years' term, was counted by hundreds.

The Homestead Aflnlr and Politics. There is no politics, in th<> strict sen^e of the word, in the Homestead disturbance. Strikes have occurred in all countries and under all policies. England has had as many of uhem as the United States, und some of them were more extended and destructive than any which have taken placo iu this country. If those in the United States are due to the tariff, those la Great Britain must be ascribed to fre^ trade. This explanation, if good in oie case, must be good in the other. It iu a rule that must woiii both ways if it i/orks in any way. We do not know that any­ body has laid the blame for tho British strikes on the absence of protect ion in the custom house laws in that country. Such affairs do not admit of such a ready interpretation. Their causes are many, and revenue laws, where they operate at all, are not of dominant or decisive influence. Most of the strikes on a large scale which have taken place in the United States in the pas*, fifteen years were due in a large degree to the mischievous appeals and plotting^ of professional agitators in inciting labor against capital. They endeavor to per­ suade the workers that the employers are the enemies of the employes, in con­ tradiction of the obvious fact that each is an ally of the other, and that neither can maintain themselves without aid from the other side. The tariff is responsible for labor dis­ turbances to this extent only--it has provided better wages than could bo had without it, and thus has trought com­ forts, independence, and intelligence. Intelligence has incited in men the laud­ able desire to make the most of the op­ portunities and secure the best reward possible for their labor. Organization is one of its developments, and with it has come a sense of power which will content Itself with nothing short of the largest remuneration which can be ob­ tained. This spirit is praiseworthy if the condition of the market and the state of general trade are taken into ac- i count. These factors are sometimes lost sight of, and when they are strikes and lockouts en ue and a sort'of indus­ trial war sets in. But the intelligence which incites labor contests carries with it a corrective influence. It will eventu­ ally show workers that strikes, oven in the rare instances when they are suc­ cessful, do not pay what they cost. Then arbitration or some other form of settling disputes over wages or hours of work will conce into vogue. The pres­ ent methods in sucn controversies are too inadequate and destructive to be clung to much longer. At any rate the tariff has not in any direet or a tive sense got anything to do with labor con­ flicts such as that in Pennsylvania, and reasonable men are looking in an entire­ ly different direction for a remedy.-- Globe-Democrat. of the Government's foreign affairs than any living American.--Buffalo Commercial.

It Is a Republican Year! The New York Pres* has received telegrams from a number of governors of States expressing their confidence in a Republican victory this fall. Governor McKinley, of Ohio, says: "The Republicans of Ohio are united and confident and will sweep the State." Ira I. Chase, governor, of Indiana. telegraphs: "The Republicans of In­ diana were never more hopeful and con­ fident of victory than to-day." Norman B. Willy, Governor of Idaho, sends wjrd: "The nomination of Cleve­ land gives the Republicans here a walk­ over in November." „ . Elisha B. Ferry, Govenior of Wash­ ington, telegraphs: "Harrison's major­ ity iu this State will be between-; 7,000 and 10,000." ^ D. Russell Erowj, Covernor of Rhode Th» Situation in Kansas. The attempt of the Democratic leaders in Kansas to turn over their party to the support of the Alliance ticket will prove at least a partial failure. The com­ plaints from all quarters of the State, loud and bitter, show this plainly. In­ deed, it will require energetic work to prevent the organization of a new Dem­ ocratic party that will refuse to be con­ trolled by such a contemptible policy as the State convention was led to adopt. The result will be--must inevitably be --one of two things. Either a new con­ vention will be held and a straight Democratic ticket nominated or two- thirds of the Democratic voters will stay away from the polls or else vote the Republican ticket. The attempt to sell them out so shamefullj' will cause many self-respecting Democrats to throw off their party allegiance in disgust. The light in Kansas is between the Repub­ licans and the Alliance party, and this better class of Democrats, who believe in sound business principles and upholding the State's credit, will prefer to join in with the Republicans. In tact, it looks as though they will be driven to it, and there is no honorable escape from it.-- Kansas City Journal. A Tariff Pictute.

T H E BIGGEST CATTLE RANCH. A Tewu ITomaa Owns the Largvit One is ^ the World. The largest ranch in the United States, and probably in the world owned by one person, is in Texas, and belongs to Mrs. Richard King. It lies 45 miles south of Corpus Christ!. The ladies who come to call ori Mrs. King drive from the front gate, over as good a road as any in Central Park for ten miles before they arrive at her front door, and the butcher an$ the baker and icenaan, if such existed, would have to drivp thirty miles from the back gate before they reach h,er kitchen. This ranch is bounded by the Cor­ pus Christie Bay for forty miles, and by barbed wire for 300 miles more. It covers 700,000 acres in extent, and 100,000 headof cattle and 3,000 brood mares wander over its different pas« tures. This property is tinder the ruling of Kobcrt J. Kleberg, Mrs. King's son-in-law. The thing that the wise man from the East cannot understand is how tho 100,000 head of cattle wandering at large over the range arc ever collected together. But this is a very simple problem to the ranchman. Mr. Kle­ berg, for instance, receives an order from a firm in Chicago calling for 1,000 head of cattle. The breed of cattle the Arm wants is grazing in a corner of the range fenced in by a barbed wire, and Niarked pale blue for convenience on a beautiful map blocked out in colors, like a patch­ work quilt, which hangs in Mr. Kle­ berg's office. When the order is re­ ceived he sends a Mexican on a pony to tell the men near that particular pale blue pasture to round up 1,000 head of cattle and atjthe same time directs his superintendent to send in a few days as many cowboys to that pasture as are needed to "hold" 1,000 head qt cattle on the way to the railroad station. The hoys on the pasture, which We will suppose is ten miles square, will take ten of their number and five extra ponies apiece, which one man leads, and from one to another of which they shift their saddles as men do in polo, and go directly to the water tanks in the ten square milesof land. A cow will not often wander more than two and half miles from water, and so with the water tank, which on the King ranch maybe cither a well with a wind­ mill or a dammed canon full of rain water, as a rendezvous, the finding of the cattle is comparatively easy, and ten men can round up 1,000 head in a day or two. When they have them all together, the cowbovs who arc to drive them to the station have ar­ rived and taken them off. At the station the agert from the Chicago firm and the agent of the King ranch ride through the herd together and if they disagree as to the fitness of any one or, more of the cattle, an out­ sider is called in and his decision is final. The cattle arc then driven on to the cars, and Mr. Kleberg's respon­ sibility is at an end. Mobbeil. the Cook. "There is no harder classof men to deal with than the laborers who flock to a railroad camp." The speaker was a contractor who hires men by the thousand, says the San Francisco Ex­ aminer. 4,I remembor one camp I had in the Rocky Mountains. There were not over 250 men irr it, but they "managed to escape suffering from snnui. There was considerable rain, and naturally often idle hands. This *ave an opportunity toSatan. The men are always ready to grum­ ble at their food. The head cook was a German, and the only one of that nationality in camp. His bread was habitually heavy, and the laborer on the grade wants good bread or blood. "One day an Irishman took the dough from a particrtterly bad loaf, and making a pellet of it threw it at the cook. Everybody imitated him. In a moment there was a riot. Over went the table, then the range, and an unlucky suggestion to hang the cook met with hearty applause. The cook dug the dough out of his eyes and turned pale. Then he rad. "He burst through a rear door and flew down the trail. He had neither hat, coat nor vest. His suspenders streamed straight behind. He did not ask for a month's pay due. That is the last I saw othiui. .Perhaps he is running yet." "But would they have hanged him?" "From my knowledge of railroad camps," said the contractor, "1 have always thought that the cook in dis­ playing his heels displayed a wisdom as rare as his objectionable dough." Tho Secret of Gauil Memory. Prof. Burnham says very perti­ nently that the real secret of good memory is good health, and that all tho tricks of the mnemonic doctors are practically useless. Undoubtedly his observation' is generally «rue, vet there have been some curious excep­ tions to it. Mairliabecchi, the Italian histotian who knew the place on its shelf of any book in the libraries of Europe, was a sad specimen ot a man physically. Well he might have been, for his diet embraced only hard-boiled eggs and water. But at least he lived before the days of the memory* doctors, as did those aneient Greek commanders of whom history says that they knew the name, of every man in their armies, and as did also the tuedieval scholars, who used to recite a Greek play or two before breakfast, just to put their memory in tone.
