DEMOCRATIC M-lSREPRESEN-
TATTON.

The Democratic press throughout the
country is loud in its ~denunciation of
the United States authorities in send
ing troops to different localities where
trouble was anticipated on the occasion of
the late election. The democratic press
recite the fact that the election was peace
full and quiet as a reason why the pres
ence of troops was altogether unnecessary.
This is false reasoning. Our readers will
not fail to remember that the very local
tiles to which troops were assigned in the
been the scenes of riot and bloodshed I;
which circumstance, coupled with the fact
that threats of violence had been made
by the leaders Of the democratic party. was
the main reason for sending troops there
to assist the civil authorities in conduct
ing the election in accordance with law.
The statement that the troops were sent
there to intimidate voters, is false as the
result shows-nearly all of these places
having given democratic majorities. We
hear of no mans rights having been
interfered with by either the civil or
military authorities of the United States.
The fact that these elections were car
ried on without disturbance is no proof
that thare would not have been, had it not
been for the presence of United States
troops. On the contrary, the peaceful
character of the elections is an argument
in favor of the precautions taken by the
General Government to protect its citi-
zcns in the exercise of their rights at the
ballot box, for it was as unusual as it was
unexpected, and it was without doubt due
to a large extent to the presence of the
troops. Thus it will be seen that the at
tacks upon the administration charging it
with attempting to interfere in the cleo
ton by driving legal voters from the polls
at the point of the bayonet, is entirely
without foundation in fact. There are no
grounds for supposing that the admins
tration contemplated anything OF the KIND.
And we are all aware hat nothing of the
kind was attempted.
When the Democrats, where they are
largely in the majority, have learned to
respect the rights of others who happen to
differ with them in opinion, it will no
longer be necessary to send United States
troops to keep them in order. and protect
minorities in the exercise of the elective
franchise. But until that desirable but
entirely unlocked for state of affairs exist,
we trust that the administration will con-
tinue to perform its whole duty in the
premises and send troops whenever neces-
sary to assist the civil authorities in con-
ductiug elections in accordance with law.

PROTECT THE HELPLESS.

Under this heading an editorial appear
ed about two weeks ago in the Jonesboro
Herald and Tribune, advocating legisla-
sion for the protection of the families of
the inebriate.
1t would be hard to frame a law for the
purpose which would not be made an in
strument of oppression. as well of protec-
ton, but the article in question is agood
one and prompted by the right spirit.
-Sueet,cuter Enterprise.
The Enterprise then publishes our ar
ticle entire.
Our contemporary believes it would be
hard to frame a law of this kind that
would not be an instrument of oppres-
sion as well as of protection" This is to
some extent true; but let us look for a
moment at the class of individuals that
y be oppressed, and then on the other
sgon those who will be protected by
salt in tnrst form of oppression, and
working o.,es not justify the means.

In the present instance the party

ed drunkard who has not sufficient NOR
al courage to pass the door of his accursed
shop without dropping in to spend the mo-
ney that belongs TO his wretched wife and
children, for one drop more of the bev-
crage that is driving his soul to perdition
and his family to starvation. Doubtless
he will sometimes violate this law and be
compelled to suffer the consequences of it.
He belongs to a class who violate the. laws
of God every day of their lives and have
little regard for the laws of man. We
NAV expect to see him pursued by out
ragged wives whose hearthstones he has
made desolate. and who, with visions of
cherries homes and starving children for
ever before them, will have but little mer-
CIV for the mar who caused it all and is
not vet satisfied with his work. All this
and more we may look for If such a law
is passed. On the othor hand, the rum
sellers may be counted in dozens, their
victims by thousands, and IN the principle
that a law which results in the greatest
good to tho greatest number" is just and
light, there is no room left for sympathy
with the man who. for gain, lends himself
TO the destruction of his fellow man.
Where one suffers from such a law, hun
dreds will rejoice. If the oppression is
greater than he can bear, let him change
his business it is easier for him to dothat,
than for the helpless m and children
to bear the yoke imposed by his unscru-

~etarves out the better for all concerned,
