important respects. They would have de-
manded the repeal Of the Enforcement acts /;
would have crushed the Civil Rights bill /;
would have stopped federal interference in
local affairs. They would certainly have
turned out the corrupt men who have
robbed Louisiana and other States.
But no man can doubt that they
would have succeeded long ago in divid-
ing the white vote; in bringing per-
manently to the republican side in those
States large part of the brains, intelligence
and wealth; and this in itself, would have
insured peace and rest for all, and absolute
and permanent security for the colored
people The South has been, for at least
three or four years, ripe for such policy,
and it is the gravest blunder of the repub-
lican administration that it has utterly
refused to recognize its opportunity and has
continued to rule only by harsh, repressive
measures, by violence and the exercise of
brute force.
1t is creditable to the Vice Presidents
political sagacity that he was the first among
the republican leaders to perceive the serious

late we notice some indications that
other leading republicans begin to see it
too. They are ready for a change; but
they do not know how to bring it about.
They are afraid of the President; and he is
not in the least afraid Of them. Indeed, it
may be said that he has a genuine and
scarcely concealed contempt for the republi-
can leaders He does not advise with them; he
does not care to know what they think; and
for the present, as during the war; he flights it
out on the same line" Meantime they praise
him in conventions and talk spitefully about
him in private. And if they are not careful
he will some day change his base and leave
them all ''out in the cold" If he should
suddenly determine on radical change in
his Southern policy and make conditions
with the democratic leaders, binding them
to give up initiation on condition that he
would do justice in the South and rout the
robbers there, might he not say that he had
once more saved the country from grave
danger; that he had stepped into a gap
which no one else could fill? 1t may be that
he is incapable of such stroke but he
would not be withheld from it by feelings of
affection for the republican leaders, or care
for their comfort or future

A CHAPTER OF HISTORY. A Lexington cor
respondent sends us a copy of letter writ
ten by the late Mr.. Greeley to Chief Justice
Shea, of our Marine Court in reference to
the late John c. Breckenridge and his return
from exile Our readers will remember that
when Breckenridge came home there was
story widely circulated for purposes of po-
itical mischief to the effect that Mr.. Greeley
had invited him so to do. 1t has always
been question whether it was true or not,
as Mr.. Greeley never saw fit to make any
public declaration on the subject. The cor
respondence which now comes to light
through the columns of the HERALD will
form an interesting chapter in the history of
the rebellion and show how far-seeing and
wise Mr.. Greeley proved himself to be-

The MooDY AND SANKEY REVIVAL. Tho
revival meetings of Messrs. Moody and
Sankey at Mortified, Mass, are described in
our correspondence and appear to increase
in interest. Mr. Moody's illustrations may
appear grotesque and almost too familiar to
those cultured Christians who are accustomed
to the scholarly sermons Of our clergymen,
and the imaginary letters he addresses from
the citizens of Northfeld to the King of
Heaven and the King of Kings may be criti-
cised by the fastidious church-goer But it
must be remembered that these evangeists
do not profess to preach like DIR. Hall or DR..
Armitage. They have special mission,
and hope to discharge it by their own
peculiar methods. 1t is unfair, therefore, to
criticise them from any standpoint of ofli-
nary culture or by the canons of what we con-
slider to be good taste. Their work must be
judged by its results, and if their curious
anecdotes and homely SMILES arouse the

1t seems pity-but Mr.. Blaine has
done it. At this late date in full view
of recent occurrences in Georgia and Missis-
sippi, when even the President for the first
time hesitates and refuses Governor Ames
the use of federal troops; when Spencer has
become q laughing stock in Alabama and
Kellogg goes about in the North asserting
that ''the adjustment which means a
democratic majority in the Legislature of
Louisana-has quieted that State when
Arkansas is at peace, though Brooks is only
o postmaster when the "bloody shirt" has
become ridiculous and hateful to all sensible
men, behold Mr.. Blaine hoists that faded
shot hole through his own hat and there
upon shouted Ku Klux. 1t is too bad to see
Mr.. Blaine performing the same stale trick.
Senator Morton going about the country cry
ing "Murder murder !" was not nice but
one could laugh at that spectacle. But the
ex-Speaker, n man thought to possess
judgment, insight, knowledge, held up by
his friends and admirers as the model
politician of the country 1t is too bad
lie at least was supposed to know that the war
is over. And here he stands mp in Maine, a
kind Of unblushing Rip Van Wrinkle, to
talk about issues and revive recollections
which are as dead as his own chances for the
| Presidency will be unless he reads the news
/ papers and gathers his wits sufficiently to
talk about living issues
If the late Mr.. Colfax or Mr.. ex-Cor-
poration Counsel Delafeld Smith wero
making public harangue in Maine
about these days, we should expect them
to go on at great length about tho war
and the blunders of the democratic party
some time in the last century, and we should
confidently expect to see the 'boody shirt
hoisted and even nailed to the masthead.
But Mr.. Blaine we blush when we think
Of him. 1t is a sad Joke.

A Breakfast with Secretary Delano.

Long familiarity with the Indians has had
upon the warpath and appeared at the
breakfast table yesterday in his war paint
We suppose this was what an eminent author
calls "a Christian breakfast hot rolls
eggs, coffee, beef" as distinguished from the
heather meal of the Romans and Greeks
which was ga thrice-accursed biscuit, with
half fig, perhaps, by way of garnish."
Such breakfast as he should have at first
class Washington boarding house ought to
have put Mr.. Delano into an amiable state of
mind. He should have been Modified by his
hot buttered rolls, and warmed by his fra
grant coffee. Yet if this were impossible to
his savage disposition, he should have re-
venged himself on his wittles. He might
have stabbed his beefsteak, impaled a potato,
or scalped the butter. But such
victories could not satisfy Mr.. Delano
when he perceived Professor Marsh calmly
chipping his eggshells on the opposite side
of the table. The sight of his enemy spoiled
his appetite for food and kindled it for
revenge. We are sorry to hear that the
OecTeJdTy cdlleu the GTOIeSSOr q liar, ana
other names equally offensive, and shook his
fist at him, and intimated that he could whip
him. This sauce, more pungent than
Worcestershire was not relished by Profess
sor Marsh, who replied that he was not afraid
of Mr.. Delano. Fortunately knives and
forks were not drawn, and the pepper caster
was not SHE'D but for while there was
quite tempest in the teapot. 1t is sad to
think that two gentlemen cannot meet
at breakfast without the danger that one
of them will devour the other and it is plain
that one of the two must change his quar-
ters. One ordinary boarding house cannot
safely contain them both and it would be
charitable to wish that there were a place a
hundred thousand miles long and that Sec
retary Delano might breakfast at one end of
it and Professor Marsh at the other. The
boarders in the middle might then eat their
meal in peace

republican in fact as we'll as in name. The
laws must be made to bear equally upon all
classes. Labor must be protected in all It's
rights, and the savings of the poor guaran-
teed by statute like the Savings Bank law
of this State. When these things are
accorded to the workingmen, and when
labor is fairly remunerated, new era will
dawn upon the State, and we shall hear ne
more of impending ruin in Rhode Island.

What England Thinks OF the Eric
Convention.

A special despatch which we copy in
another column from the Evening Telegram
of yesterday shows the first fruits of the
Pennsylvania Democratic Convention at
Erie upon our credit abroad. An uneasy
feeling" is reported as characterizing the
London market for United States govern
ment securities. There seems to be less
desire on the part of investors to buy, and
"the tone of the market points to still lower
prices" There can only be one explanation
of this phenomenon at the present time, with
money cheap in London, and especially re-
membering that few days since, when the
money markets of Europe were almost at a
panic on account of the threatening attitude
of affairs in the Principalities, American Sc
curities remained firm. We then congratu-
lated ourselves that our government was so
strong that in time of general disaster in
Europe its securities would become an
asylum for anxious investors.
Now we find that in consequence of the
madness of the democrats in the great
State of Pennsylvania this confidence has
passed away. Our credit is as seriously
affected as though we were threatened with
war. With all our resources and beautiful
resolutions to make our credit the finest in
the world we. are sinking rapidly into the
financial condition of Spain andsTurkey.
This is one of the first fruits of the policy of
imitation, which is only another name for that
of reputation.

The SEEvLAN GovERNMENT is doing all it
can TO escape from the war upon its borders.
On the one hand it has addressed circular to
the chiefs of the districts, declaring that it is
on the best terms with the Porte and ordering
that no assistance shall be given to the in
surgents, while on the other it has ordered
the mobilization of twenty-four thousand
men to meet the threatening concentration
of Turkish troops on the frontier. Severe
fighting for three days is reported in Herze-
goyina.

Two affairs with outlaws, In which
two OF them were killed and one

This report is alike honorable to the

GALVESTON, January 4, 1915.
The mysteries of trade are perpleX-
ing. 1t is taken as a general rule that
the merchant will go where he can buy
cheapest. Why, then, will some run
off to New York for their goods when
they can get them here in Texas,
freight and all included, ut the same
figures? Some Of those in the larger
interior towns so to New York because
they want the name of being buyers
direct. But, after all, it Is but name.
The goods they buy from the whole.
sale houses of Galveston are the
same exactly that they get in
New York. The quality is the
same, the brands are the same,
the price IL the same. This singular
notion is q crotchet in the head COM
2 mercial which common SENSE has never
yet been able to smooth entirely out.
~havein mind casewhich forcibly Illus
trates the foolishness of following
after fashion, especially in matters
where dollars and cents are involved.
Up in Montana they have been eating
Goshen butter for 10 these many years,
getting ii from New York by way
OF the Isthmus. Shortly after the
war an enterprising party of embryo
Rothschilds conceived the idea of ear
rylng butter to Montana by much
better and shorter route, namely: by
going up the Missouri river as far as
they could by boat and then wagoning
it across to Helena. They got their
butter to Its destination sweet and
clear, but the firm 'dissolved'' before
the end of the first year. The people
up there liked their butter; it was very
good AMI all that, but "it warn't 18TH
mus butter" That was the only thing
that was the matter with it. They had !
been eating "Isthmus butter all their !
lives, and any butter that wasn't "lsth-
mus butter" wouldn't suit them. Now |
the butter which Ind come up the Mis-. |
souri, river was fresher-had not peen
out of cold climate, and had every
advantage over the other, but the pec-
pie couldn't be made to believe It, or
to buy. They had been In the habit Of
thinking Isthmus butter was the best,
and they continued to think so.
Though their eyes aud their noses and
their common sense should have con-
''inced them that a butter which had
been shipped through the tropics, been
melted and then frozen again, and,
moreover, had been some two months
more on the journey than the other
could not have been IA good. Yet they
stuck to the belief that Jstbmus hut
teri wasthe best, though, at the expense !
