POLITICAL INDEPENDENCE.

There is a strong feeling of independence
IN the clear headed citizenship of New York
and it is well to recognize the fact in all il
I fullness that only that party which defer
, most to the independent spirit, that is whic
demeans itself SO worthily as to receive til
plaudits of this class of citizens. can hope +
Keep, hold or achieve the supremacy.-Tro!
Press Dem.
The independence referred to is widely diff
ferent from the captious, growing, carping
schismatic, misunderstanding spirit and con
duct on which disappointed candidates, de
feated aspirants, soreheaded "outs" an6
! writer's, whose ponderous intellects fail tt
impress the public, are accustomed to fall
back.
| Within the ranks of a political party, and
especially within those of the Democratic
party, there is always tolerance for varying
opinions on minor matters, and even on the
construction and application of rules and
dogmas. The bigoted, hidebound, dictatorial
politician should not be permitted to gain
ascendancy in the .counsels of any party.
Against such leader, onpersonal grounds, if
on no other, the members of party will be
inclined to revolt, and, in most cases, their
opposition will meet with the appreciation of
the masses of the party.
In these days we find in all parts of the
country large number of the class of politi-
cal malcontents, declaring that the old politi-
cal parties have failed in their mission or out
lasted thsir time. They point to the parties
their acts while in power, their promises,
their doctrine, their resolutions, their de.
clared purposes and their pledges-and then
draw the contrast between the much that was
stipulated and the little that has been done.
They deride and criticise the men proni-
nent in both parties, especially those holding
important Offices, and those who are active in
maintaining the party as speakers and writer's.
They try to convince the public that, because
the party has fallen short in some of its duties,
or has incurred censure, or has failed to main
tain its ranks in full numbers, or has lost in
fuence, or has ceased to com mand all the
respect and confidence that were wont to be
bestowed upon il, therefore there must be
new party established out of the constituent
elements of the old, which shall raise the
white banner of purity and truth, honesty
and honor, wisdom and love of country, and |
60 forward to assured success and triumph.
The heroes of these new Independent
parties are always to be the pioneers and
in the political revolt The old,
he tried, the trusty and the wise are to be
leposed and new men are to bs employed to

party is known to be for free trade and har
money, just as the Republican party is know
to be for Q protective tAriff and soft money
In the fight for honest money the Democrat
party must take the lead, and the Republ
can party must stand back. The Republican
party originally foisted rag money on tn
country, in spite of the protests of the De
mocracy, and if any man in the countr,
honestly believes in rag money, it is because
he has been perverted to that belief by Re
publican arguments"
| For the further benefit of those who still
hopefully look for the organization of the
greenback party as a relief from all oul
financial pains and monetary woes, we will
conclude this with the remarks made by
Daniel Webster in the United States Senate,
December 81, 1886:
But what is meant by the constitutional
currency" about which so much is said
What species or forms of currency does the
Constitution allow, and what does it forbid
It is plain enough that this depends on what
We understand by currency. Currency in q
large. and perhaps in just sense, includes
not only gold and silver aud bank notes, but
bills of exchange also. It may include all
that djusts exchanges and settles balances in
zoe understand by currency the legal money Of the
country, and that aohich constitutes LAWFUL
TENDER FOR DEBTS and is THE STATUTE MEAS
URE OF VALUE. then. undoubtedly, nothing is in.
cluded but GOLD AND SILVER.
Most unquestionably there is no legal ten
der, and there can be no legal tender, in this
country, under the authority of this Govern
ment or any other, but gold and silver, either
the coinage Of our own minis, or foreign
coins, at rates regulated by Congress. This
is constitutional principle, perfectly plain,
and Of the very highest importance. The
States are expressly prohibited from making
anything but gold and silver tender in pay
ment of debts; and although no such express
prohibition is applied to Congress, yet,
as Congress has no power granted to
it in thus respect, but to coin money and
to regulate the value of foreign coins, it
clearly has no power to substitute paper, or
anything else, for coin, as tender in pay
nent of debts and IN discharge of contracts.
Congress has exercised this power, fully, in
both its branches. 1t has coined money, and |
IT'LL coins it.; it has regulated the value Of
oreign coins, and still regulates their value. |
The legal tender, therefore, the constitu- |
ional standard of value, is established, and |
IAN not be overthrow. To overthrow it |
would shake the whole system.

London journal says that the contest between
guns and armor, which has been going on for

which the armor must confess itself beaten

weight is no objection. and where, also, it's

Sir William Armstrong is now making twelve
guns for the Italian Government, each of
which will weigh one hundred tons, and will
fire a shot ton in weight through twenty
eight inches of armor. As there is limit

weight of metal plates which ship can carry,

HOw's THIS FOR HoNRY?-We suppose
Perry Edwards, whose place is few
miles north OF town, does his full share
toward furnishing ''zweetening'' for his
fellow-men. This year he has taken from
about thirty hives of bees very nearly 2,
900 lbs. of honey. The bees have been
very prosperous this year. Perry gives
US the following figures OF the product of
one hive, which we call rather remarka-
bic. On Friday evening he took from one
hive 90 lbs. of honey. Saturday morning
the same hive weighed IS lbs; the same
evening it weighed DIX lbs; Monday
morning it weighed 119K lbs, gain of
4SH lbs in two days. On the Thursday
following he took from this hive 60 lbs of
honey, leaving two combs, making 127 lbs
from one stand this year, worth SO at the
| rate at which he sells the article. We
call that \ pretty big yield, and venture
that it is mighty hard to beat.

MESSRs. STOTLER & GRAHAM: Please
accept ''mess'' of sweet potatoes from
our little ''patch'' of eighteen acres; and
in connection allow us to say: Our eX-
perience in the cultivation of sweet pota-
toes the present year has been that the
abundant rains during July and portion
Of August caused too large growth of
vines. This has been especially the case
with the Nansemond, the vines of which
are more recumbent than the other varie-
ties. Some two or three acres which we
had ''laId by" before the rains commence
ed, and thrown out roots all over the
ground, from which potatoes are forming,
which we think retard the growth of the
main tubers. Nearly all of ours which
were cultivated subsequent to, and dur
ing the rains, were kept up from the
ground as much as possible, and the vines
cut with the "rolling CUTTER" which
course, we think, a good one during 8
wet season, CARTER IL EsTABRooK.

THE LARGEST SHOW ON EARTH
COMING TO EMPORIA, FRIDAY,
OCTOBER IST.


Yesterday the Great international Men
agerie, Museum, Aquarium and Circus
inaugurated their second annual tour at
the Industrial Exposition Building, the
stockholders of this magnificent editice
having consented to let this great show
occupy it for one week. The days festiV-
tiles began with q grand gratuitOus street
display, which was grandeur itself, and
was witnessed by crowds of spectators
along its entire route. Last night we
found the Exposition Building thronged
with the most brilliant and fashionable
audience, without exception, that we
have ever seen drawn together here. The
Mcnagerie and Museum are alone worth
the price of admission. AT least ], 900
rare wild animals and remarkable curios-
tiles are to be seen. The various cages
and vans are admirably arranged, and the
attendants well informed and polite. At
ter seeing all that was to be seen in the
Menagerie, Museum and Aquarium, we
after some difficulty in consequence of the
immense jam, found q seat, and not a
minute too soon, for the grand entree inn
ediately began. This was magnificent
ly costumed and brilliantly executed, and
was fitting prelude to the truly magniti-
cent entertainment that followed. Where
all was so perfect it is a hard matter to
specialize any particular act and call it
best Every one was excellent, while our
old friend, julie Kent, as he is called, was
in his drollest humor. and kept the audi
ence in the best possible spirits. The
whole entertainment passed off with the
greatest ecLGt, and we pronounce the
Great International the largest, best and
most admirably conducted show that it
has ever been our lot to witness. We feel
somewhat proud of this, tor it Is, in reali-
ty. Kentucky show; as here in this city,
at the Gait House, the idea was conceiv-
ed, and here, also, was the Great Interna-
tiOnal equipped and prepared; so we can
safely call it a Southern Show, and, as t
is really the largest in America, this is
something to be proud of. Every one that
we met at the Exposition Building last
night was of our opinion. The general
verdict on all sides expressed the one
idea; the best Show in the world.-Louis-
Vile Courier-Jour nal.

FINE Hoes. = Joseph Brown has at
his residence in the southwest part of
town litter OF nine Ohio improved Ches-
ter white hogs. that are evidently pure
breed. The boar and cow are also there,
| and show for themselves. This litter OF
pigs was born July I'd, and the heaviest
weighs now some so pounds, and most OF
the others are close after him. They
weigh over one pound per day for each
day of their age, which is doing remark
ably for such young pigs. A sow one year
old, from the same pair, is now adding
one and three quarter pounds to her
weight each day. 1t pays to put corn in
to her, certainly. Mr.. Brown will show
this lot of hogs at the fair, and we advise
judges of the article to look out for his
pen of improved Chester Whites. He
claims that these hogs Will get fat on an
amount OF food that some other heightened
breeds would get thin upon.
