The Parties.

Under this heading the Union and
American, says, from n early day in
the brief history Of these United States
the practical public has been divided
INTO two parties. One party, first repre-
scented pre-emiuently BY Virginia, set
out with the belief hat the world had
seen governed too much, and sought
therefore to restrict its functions within
the nurowest limits, leaving education
to the family, commerce and material
development to private or associated
enterprise, and protecting all religion
without helping amy, This was the
programme of those whose legitimate
successors are the Democracy Of to-day.
The other was the Adams OF Massa-
chusetts school, originating in the quasi
theocucy ofthe carly Puritmls assuming
to control the morals of other people, by
blue laws, Maine liquor laws, and war
on slavery as II sin taking the masses
Tor special interests and privileged class
es, by tariff monopohes; prescribing
whole classes, from the Alien and Sedi-
ton Laws Of 1898, through the Anti
Masonry Of 1928, the Nutivcisin of 1914,
the acknowledgement Of 1854, and the
later AbOlitiOnism down to the latest
Interpretation Of the fourteenth amend
mcut (; and assuming to dictate even III
matters Of conscience, as some of the
New England constitutions still attest
IN this advanced day of the nineteenth
century. This party look on govern
ment us a grand engine for the promo
ton OF their own profit and the propa-
CATION Of their peculiar ideas. In their
hearts they deem it Il criminal waste of
dormant power, to leave unused all the
propa8aldist possibilities of goycrnment
and government patronage. Like the
relentlessrobbe of Cephissus, they would
make the whole world conform to their
Procrustean measure.
The Democracy has really been o
than IL mere party" 1t has been the
organized expression Of the honest life
and legitimate aspirations Of the people.
During Washington's administration it
was in n state of Incubation. The pccu-
liar policy Of the elder Adams proved it's
necessity and brought it to full life and
strength. For sixty days without serious
interruption, itruled the c%ouutry happily.
Nothing human is perfect, nor do we
claim perfection for the Democracy but
we and III fathers were happy under it,
and it was an evil day for tie country
when political spoil hunters combined
with the party Of moral IDEAS to over
throw it. Twelve years Of adversely
have purified itof mnny time-seryers, and
we may look for a great bound onward
in the prosperity Of the whole country,
when the party of tho people and the
constitution resumes the guardianship of
cur rights

WASHINGTON, May 13.-FOur or five
Senators have prepared amendments to
the Treaty Of Washington. A number
Of Senators are preparing to deliver elab-
crate speeches on the subject, which will,
hereafter, be published, should the i'll
junction Of secrecy be removed.
Recent comments on the treaty both
in England and Canada have disposed
Senators to look more closely into it's
provisions and its relative bearing, and
there is grounds for belief that the SEES
sion will be prolonged three or four
weeks. The Committee OH Foreign re-
lations are again i'll session Gil the treaty.
The comlsittce on the breach Of Senate

LOUISVILLE, May 13.-At q meeting of
the Street Railroad Managers to-day, it
was agreed hat it was useless to try to
resist or eyade the enforcement by the
United States Authorities of the claim Of
negroes to ride in street cars. The ne.
grocs having refused the Offer Of special
cars, and determining 10 insist on riding
with the whites, it WAS decided best to
avoid n serious collision by opening the
cars to them. They affect the Business
OF the road considerably, many white
people, especially ladies, prcfelring to
walk. But it is likely there will be no
further trouble beyond occasional coils
ions with the rnughs.

An old negro woman was seen ut the
grave Of Maj, John f. Henry during the
blrirl service, standing bowed with -age
and grief. At the conclusion Of tie ser
vice she CAME forward with an .armful
Of fresh flowers, and strewed the gallant

1t touched the hearts of all whosaw it
this humble tribute of faithful and de-
voted old nurse to her young master,
whom she had rursed and loved as if he
hrd been her owil child. Fairer hands
brought flowers there, and iewelled fin
gors slnoothed them over his lowly pill
low, bat there was no purer love, nor
more affecting devotion than Lucinda's.

THAT soi, ,0O0.-There are none more busy just
now than the members of the Ring. Every effort
will be made to keep their friends in power about
the Court House. Much money is spent, and
collectors are being waited on to fork over, an
Indication that the funds are getting short. 1t
would be an excellent thing to have law pass
ed to allow them to levy two taxes annually.
The amount required to electloneer with now,
must be enormous, as we notice every house in
the coal region is being visited to urge out their
full vote. 1t has been asked whether the ''strik-
ing" miners are not well paid, and whether any
of them know how the $4,000 were absorbed

DISGUSTING SoBNE.-Oa Tuesday afternoon
O man and woman were discovered on the river
bank in Cakes addition, In beasty state of in.
toxcation. Complaint was made before Esquire
Beard who sent Constable Boughner after them.
They were brought to the squires' office about
z o'clock in the evening, in wagon, being toe
much under the influence of ''benzine'' to walk.
While being hauled through the streets the wa
gon was followed by lot of boys who were at
tracted by the oaths and frantic gyratioi of the
woman in the wagon. AS the wagon stopped in
front of the Squires' Office a large crowd of men
and boys gathered around to witness the most
disgusting sight probably ever witnessed in this
town. The man, who gave his name as Frank
Hover, was scarcely able to m owe while his COM
panion was determined to give the spectators q
specimen of her pugilistic abilities, was going
through the crowd uttering oaths, and clenching
her fists like a maniac. Her appearance was
more like demon from the lower regions than
that of a woman. Degraded and debaucbcd by
strong drink, lower even than the brute creation.
Every one who saw her ghastly face could not
help but sympathze with those who will persist
In partaking ofthe poisonous stimulants that are
fast bringing them to the same level. They were
both committed to prison to reflect on their sad
condition. If we had lock up, such vagrants
could be committed at once, without waiting for
a commitment.
