THE SPIRIT OF THE DEMooRAoY.-Not since
the days Of silas Wright has such degree Of
enthusiasm been awakened in the democratic
ranks of the State of New York as that which
saluted the denomination Of Governor Hoff-
man at Rochester on Wednesday last. Not
only were hundred guns fred in the place of
his nativity-New York city-but all over the
State the thunder Of artillery and the sparkle
and glow of fireworks proclaimed the endorse
ment of the people. Governor Hoffman has,
therefore, a splendid ''send-of" 1t is some
what different with the republican candidate
for Governor, General Woodford, who heads
ticket that is received with icicle coolness by
even its own supporters in the interior of the
State. Hoffman has the inside track, and we
have no reason as yet to change. the opinion
we expressed some time ago-namely, that he
will be reelected by seventy thousand majority.

The ARMY OF FRANoE.-What has be-.
come of that glorious army of which
Europe for years has been afraid? Where
is the French army to-day3 In Strasbourg.
or Metz, or Paris, or dead2 Why has it
failed so? Because it was no more nor less
than police force. 1t existed for two pur-
poses-to make show and to keep order.
These two purposes it well served. TWAS the
enemy of the French people, not their pro-
tector. So long as 1t was employed for its
legitimate purpose it was grand institution.
But the moment it had to do what it never ex-
peoted to do it's knees shook, it trembled and
fell. Grand as police force, it is weak as an
army. Powerful against the French people, it
is powerless against the invading foe. Since
the days Of the First Napoleon it does seem as
if France had been thinking opiy of herself
This is not the age for celestial empires.

A Fanny Incident.

George Lascelles, in letter to the New
York Clipper, relates a funny incident
which happened at the old Albany Mu-
scum, in the good old times when the
drama, wax figures and other curiosities
were IN vogue at that place:
On the Fourth of July, 1852, patriotic
addition to the show being desired, Charles
Salisbury, comical genius, notorious for
his practical jokes, was chosen to repre-
sent Geogge Washington, and of course,
was dressed in the traditional costume
The doors had Just been opened for the
evening performance, and visitors had
commenced thronging the curiosity rooms,
when mischievous idea struck Mr. Sails
bury, who opening the door of one of the
wax work cases, unobserved, took a posi-
tlon among the figures and tried to look
lmmovable as possible. A countryman,
his wife and daughter, a young miss of
eighteen, were the first who entered. As
the young lady approached Washington,
he bestowed on her most unfatherly
wink. Good gracious ma" exclaimed
she. that figure of Washington winked at
me-" Nonsense, child" exclaimed ma,
''you are so conceited you think everybody
is in love with you" But at this moment
she was almost speechless herself, for the
venerable Washington had applied his fin
gers to his nose in very suggestive man
ner. "Oh, William ," she exclaimed,
grasping her husbands arm, "do look at
that" What is IT." asked William,
"why, l believe you women folks are era
zy." At this moment General Washing
ton struck a belligerent attitude and ut
tered terrific yell In an instant the
whole party tumbled down stairs, pell-
nell, and related the wonderful story,
while Washington quietly slipped off to
his dressing-roOm, laughing in his sleeve
at the Joke.

Beauties OF Radical RuIe.

Just before it adjourned the Legislature
OF Mississippi passed what it designated a
"Revenue bill" Alcorn approved its ac-
ton, and the bill is therefore law It is
IN fine measure providing for the whole
sale robbery of the people of the State
for the purpose of rewarding office holders
and enriching the leaders of the Black
Republican party.
There is one feature of this Revenue
law to which we wish to call special atten-
ton. 1t is that section of it which regu-
lates the tax on liquor dealers. According
to this section the tax on liquor dealers Of
every grade is now Just two hundred dol
lars, Any one wishing to sell liquor, by
retail or wholesale, IS privileged to do so
by paying a license of 5000 Municipal
authorities are positively prohibited from
imposing tax for any purpose. The re-
suit of this arrangement will be the imme-
date upspring of innumerable grog shops
IN every city, town and village in the
State. We shall probably have a dozen
or two IN Columbus. This is the design of
the law. Revenue is what Is wanted, and
to secure 1t the Legislature put the tax at
a figure which would induce as many as
possible to pay it by the prospects of ma
king money from the retail of mean
whisky
Here is an instance of the law-making
power of the State deliberately compoun-
ding with vice; entering into an alliance
with it for mutual beneit-the law max
ing power obtaining for its share valua-
bic consideration in the shape of a tax,
and vice securing for its reward unlimited
and unrestrained license. The arrange
ment is at the expense of virtue, religion
and morality, and the order, well-being
and good name of society. As innumera-
BILE grog-shops will spring up all over the
State, competition will be increased in pro-
portion, and as a consequence, the price Of
liquor will go down; it will be within the
reach of every body. Of course importa-
ton from abroad will be increased, greater
demands will be made upon the distilleries,
home and foreign, and the consumption
will be greater. Is it reasonable to assert
that the record of crime will be augment
ed, and that the pauper list will swell to
an alarming extent? Just such laws have
produced such effects elsewhere, and they
will produce them Columbus Dem.

..srbstnntiaIIy sUs,o,ne,, ;,

The Governor has telegraphed to For
ney that he Is substantially sustained by
Judge Pearson. He publishes the same
false declaration in the Standard and re-
peats 1t often. Some people are surprised
at this, but we are not. The Governors
life has been one of falsehood, hypocrisy
and deceit.
Here is the opinion of Chief Justice
Pearson:
81 declare my opinion to be that the
privilege of the writ of habeas coTpls has
not been suspended by the action of his
bxcellency; he has no pow
er to disobey the writ of ha6eaS coypits, or
to order the trial of any citizen otherwise
than by jury; such action would be in ex-
cess of his power"
We told you TO disObey this order if
you dared, and you have done so, and we
are not surprised at it. The few white
men who, hitherto, have sustained you,
condemn you for it. Even Menninger,
your carpet-bag Secretary of State, speaks
on the streets in condemnation of your
course.
When you say, Chief Justice Pearson
substantially sustains you, you circum-
stantially lie, and you know it, and the
world knows it. You and Littlefield sub
stantially. and particularly sustain each
other. You agreed to, or We're silent
when he robbed the State, and it is said
by your friend, John T. Deweese, that you
shared the i'll gotten gains when the State
was robbed.-SeHti7ldE, RGLeiqh, NJ O.

Bessemer Patriotism

According to computation made by
New York paper, the cost of ton of steel
rails in Liverpool is $55 go The duty is
$28 10, and the freight and charges $5
more. In currency, with gold at fifteen
per cent, this would be $l02 80. The
traitorous steel oligarchy, Morrell, Girls
wold and the Cambria Works, who pro-
duce rails at cost of $72 "a, currency,
ton, have an advantage of $50 II over the
importers of rails.
And who is benefited by this system
of plunder? Four persons, Morrell, of
Pennsylvania, Griswold and Winslow of
New York, and E. B. Ward, of Michigan.
Of" continues the paper, 1--WE only relay
1000 miles of road year, 100000 tons
are needed, and as Morrell Griswold and
the Cambria Works would make at least
$50 ton the net profit of the monopol-
lists would be over 100000 a year"
But the railroad mOnopolists pay all
this, say the protectionists To be sure
they do, directly, but where do they get
get their money to pay it with? Out OF
the people-out of those who ride on their
roads-out of those who consume goods
shipped upon their roads. Every pound
of sugar, every pound of tea, every yard
Of shlrtlng consumed by the people Of the
West has helped TO pay those six millions
OF dollars into the pockets of Morrell,
Winslow, Griswold and Ward, through
increased charges upon the cost of their
transportation. The people foot the bill

delve, and are robbed of their earnings

he lay on, the wood that warmed him, the
food he ate, everything was charged for,

1t is, however, a greater pleasure to re-
late that, after the bill was paid, the
Indians threw in the execution of the
murderer into the bargain. The avengers

We ask our readers, and the whole coun-
try, to compare the expenditures for the
two years, l860-6l and 1869-7O respect
lively. 1t will thus be seen that our rulers
expended during the last two years of
profound peace, $6l3, ,303, 1867 O6. From
this must be deducted in round numbers
about S240,000,000 as interest on the debt
during the last two years, which leaves
1878, SOB, ,S67 expended IN carrying on the
Government. From this another deduc-
ton of about four million for pensions du-
ring the two years must be made, which
the late war entailed, and the balance
will be found to be g933, 3,6O3, 867.
The total amount expended in the two
years of 1901 was $I29, ,675,9l6. From
this must be deducted, for interest paid in
the two years-viz: $3,177,314 in 1860,
and $4, 600, ,l72 in 1861, 1T ,4S7, which
will leave a balance of 1922, ,499, ,429 ex-
pended to carry on the Government dur
ing the aforesaid two years of l860-l.
But the party in power have expended
after giving them credit for the extra in
terest on the debt, pensions, and fifth in
crease for the increase of population, 1888
603,S67 against $l46, ,999, 9,3l4, or in other
words, for every dollar expended, exclu-
slve OF interest and pensions, by the Gov
eminent in 1901, the rulers in IS69-7O
expehaed as near as possible 50 81.
Well may all reformers of revenue or
otherwise go with the above irrefutable
record before the country, and let our peo-
pie give their verdict.

not abolished the free system of English
laws throughout the whole Southern

subjects of his will, with power-I say it
deliberately in the light of your recon

the possession of any and every species of

that those States have no valid existing
legal governments?

alton of the rights of man ard the rights

ators, to our admiration, and we were in

stir up at the close of this debate your
pure minds by way of remembrance, and

THE PRICES OF GRAIN,
How the Farmers Suffer from Radical
Legislation.

The price of wheat on the 18th OF July
in Liverpool was, for No 2 red western,
shillings per 100 pounds, which, at the
rate Of gold that day IA per cent? is ex-
actly equivalent to 81 484 currency.
On the 22d of July the price in Liver
pool for the same wheat was los. Sd. per
100 pounds, or at the rate of gold on that
day go per cent? equivalent to 50 974
currency, or a raise of 40 cents.
Let the following table, therefore, ex-
plain strange anomaly:
RED WESTERN WHEAT PER 100 POUNDS
July ls. July p, Rise
In Liverpool [Teduced to
In New YST:.... IS zoe. zoe.
The question, therefore, is very peril
nent: Who gains the other 90 cents p
The Europeans truly pay US 49 cents in
currency more to day for 100 pounds of
wheat than they did on the 18th, while
the farmer does not get much more than
two tifths of it.
The explanation is as deplorable as it is
humihating, which the following table
may explain
FREIGHT FOR WHEAT PER 60 POUNDS.
July la. July %.
To Liverpool by ysteam..........G1la7d. I2d.
To liverpool by sailing ships cd. lO1zd.
Thus it will be seen that the odd 90 cts.
currency more per 100 pounds of wheat is
swallowed up by the extra freight, which
has doubled. 1t is lamentable to state
that the English alone have now steam
shipping in our ports, that our poor and
crazy commercial navy, consisting Of old
wooden hulks, is ignored and neglected,
that the sudden withdrawal Of 10000 tons
Of German steam shipping per week to
Europe has, in the absence of American or
other steam shipping, delivered our grain
shipping completely into the hands OF the
English. Now, two things are perfectly
clear: If at this moment the United
States had, as they are entitled to have,
and have for years yearned to have, a
large steam feet, freights would not have
risen in seven or eight days 100 per cent,
and the farmers, instead of only getting
two fifths advantage of the rise IN grain in
Europe would have reaped the full benefit.
Secondly, instead of the English earning
some $4,000, 900 in freight, which they
viii do before the frosts sets in, our own
people would have at least shared In the
profits instead of looking on. And now
comes the sequence, which is as disgrace
full as it is oppressive The farmers can
not get by three fifths the full advance
in the value for their wheat because their
own country has no shipping to compete
with the English. Their own countrymen
have no steam feet, because Government
refuses to allow them to buy foreign ships,
and they are unable to build them at
home They are unable to build iron
ships at home because Messrs, Morrell OF
Pa, Griswold and others have large iron
works, and levy a tax of 90 to 20 per cent
on iron and the material that goes into
shipbuilding. And the loss, disgrace and
oppression serve our people right, because
they have not yet risen to hurl the op-
pressors from power, and place those in
their stead who will do a free people JUS
tice.

with the idea The question naturally
comes up, will the Radicals at the 3Oth OF
August convention place a colored man in
nomination on the county or assembly
ticket. We venture to say that if a ne

be snubbed and rejected The colored
