The Democratic Party.

From the Kansas City Times, slst.
It 10 coming fashionable in certain
Quarters to speak of the Democratic
party in Missouri as the Opposition
party. The old, familiar form is not
good enough, it seems, and there ap-
pears to be desire on the part of
some to go little to far in their eff
forts to lay hold upon something that
sounds to them a trife less sacrilig-
ious. Shame and cowardice walk arm
in arm a long way together. Be-
ware Of the animal that creeps close
to the fence all around the pasture,
peering over into the forbidden
fields or meadows that lie beyond.
One day there will be row with a
neighbor and quarrel or suit for
trespass.
The Democratic party is not all
Opposition party, for the very term,
as employed in American politics.
means a minority party. But if it
did not mean this, to what or TO
whom is it in opposition? To the
Radicals and to the Radical party i!
Only slightly so, for there is no
longer any Radical party in Missouri.
1t has been crushed under the cnor-
nous weight of thirty-six thousand
majority. 1t has scarcely enough of
vitality left to drag itsclfto the polls
to be badgcrcd and tormcnted, and
yet this is the thing we are asked to
pull OF our hats to, and in whose
presence we would be forced to so
on tip-toc. and for whose memory
We must put sorrowful Grape on our
name and call it Opposition.
II cannot be. The Democracy own
Missouri by the divine right of in
hcritancc. The oldest child of the
Constitution, its property is cntailcd
and it hascntcrcd Into possession of
its broad. fair acres. There is no
necessity for any disguise about the
matter at all, nor for any change
whatever in the name of Democrat.
1t is good enough for the Missouri.
ans-it was once good enough for the
whole country. Perhaps the day is
not SO very far off in the future whcl
10 all Of its old time lustrc and re-
nown there will be added the stature
of another and newer growth:
growth demanded by the principle:
of liberty and made necessary to the
pcrpetuation of free institutions. W.
only need patience and another shuH
lin. of the cards. Parties, like III
5ividuals, need change their names
but rarely, and then III the presence
of some grave crime. There is neitli.
er outrage nor prescription upon the
garments of the Democracy. Tho
party ofthc people, it was christcned
by the people, and i'll the nome OF
the people it has won some mcmor'
able and illustrious battlcs. Wh2r
there is neither patriotism nor lib
erty any more in the land it will bt
time enough then to put on larcn

DUMMIEs.-They are tolerating the
use of dummy engines on the street
railways of New York and other
cities since the horse disease has be.
come SO prevalent. But more un-
couth to sec oxen drawing the freight
that used to be transported with
horse teams. Still tho most novel
sight that eau now be seen in the
East, is to see dozen or more men
attached to q vehicle loaded with
some kind of merchandise, for ship
ment or to be transferred to other
parts Of the city. 1t is somewhat re-
markable that where SO much stock
Is diseased, as is now the case in the
Uuitcd States, there 10 SO little fatal
ity. Yet this epidemic is rather cal
culated to raise the valuation OF
horse flesh in this country.

A ceNulnE Poem.

Who can judge man from nafurrP
Who shall know him by his dressf
Psup-rs may be ft forprinces,
Princes nt for something less.
Crumpled shirt and dirty jacket
Msy bcclothe the golden ore,
or the dsepest thought and feeling
Satin vest could do no more.
There are springs OF crystal nectar
Even swelling out of stone;
There are purple buds and golden,
Hidden, crushed and overgrown.
God who counts by ssuls, not dresses,
Loves and prospers you and me;
While he values thrones the highest
But rs pebbles on the sea.
Man appraised above his fellows,
on forgets his fellows, then;
Observation-Disclosures, remember
That your meanest hands ar. men!
Men Of labor, men of feeling,
Men by thought and men by fame,
Claiming equal rights to sunshine
In Inan's ennObling name.
There are foan-cmbroidered oceans,
There arc little woOd-clad rills,
There ure feeble inch-hish saplinSs,
There are cedars on the hills
God who counts by souls, not stations,
Loves and prospcrs you and me,
For to him all vain distinctions
AIc Us pebbles on the sen.
ToilinS hands alone are builders
Of nation's wealth and fame;
Titled laziness is pensioned.
Fed and fattened on the same;
By The sweat of others forehea,is
Living only to rejoice,
While the poor mans outraged freedom,
Vainly lifteth to its voice.
Truth aud Justice is eternal,
Born with iovcliness and light;
Secret wrongs shall never prosper
While there is sunny height.
God, whose heard voice is singing
BOundless love to you and ine.
Sinks oppositions with its titles,
As the pebbles on the sea.

A Vast City.

London is spoken of rs the largest
city in the world rs covering one
hundred and twenty two square
miles of ground, us being ten miles
in length, and over six in breadth.
and as containing nearly four million
Of Inhabitants. Still we have no adc-
quatc conception of its vustncss. We
must resort to comparison to com
prehend it. The four millions Of
inhabitants of London, then, exceed
the combined population of New
York, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, St.
Louis, Chicago, baltimore, Cincinnati,
Boston, New Orleans, San Francisco,
and Buffalo. To feed this multitude
requires, among other items, five
million four hundred thousand bar
rcls Of -four. and three million four
hundred thousand nimals-buliocks
sheep, calves, and hogs-for the Lon
don markets, irrespective Of immense
quantities Of game and fish. 1t is
almost nation in Itself, this wom-
Lerful, oversrown giant Of a city.

Candidates.

What Is the matter with our radical friends I
Quite anumber of important public officers are
to be elected in this county next fall, and the
election is only nine months off, and yet there
are not over half dozen Of candidates out
for each of the offices. meagre dozen or
two, with five or six good offices to fill, and
5000 radicals in the county competent, or at
least willing, to fill them! Is anybody scared
by the neutrality-suspicious. cloud of passvism3
One of the Offices created by the new constitu-
ton for La Sale county is that of Recorder.
Sherman Leland, John II. Shepherd, J. j.
Kellogg and r. D. Mcdonald are the only
radicals understood to have expressed an
anxiety thus far to serve the people in this
new office. II. Silver il believed to be ready
to relieve Mr.. Hook of the Curcuit Clerkship,
while Mr.. Hook says he isn't at all tired, and
is willing to be sacrificed for another term
ION the altar" &c. For District Attorney A.
T. Cameron and II. Mayo are ready to step in
the gap to save the office from going a. beg.
ging. For Congress, snspp, DR.. Corbus and
A. b. Moore are the only prominent radicals
in the field
And with our thousands Of great men in
the radical ranks all spelling for office, is this
the only list OF candidates from whom the
choice must be made2 What's the matter
Such modesty is unexampled and startling.

Nothing can be more thoroughly convincing
that there is some giant rascality about the
sale of arms to France business, over which
the L. 5. Senate has spent some time lately,
than the manner in which the radical mem-
bers OF the senate have managed the appoint
ment Of the committee to investigate the sub
ject. The committee was first appointed in
caucus and then ratified by the senate, and
consists of Grant radicals exclusively, or men
determined that no damaging facts shall be
brought to light while an effort to put Shurz,
or some other member OF an inquisitive turn
OF mind on the committee, was denounced by
Conkling as trick
