HIS HONOR, THE ONEY
CHANGER.

National banking institutions are in
organized force, lobbying Congress to
relieve them of what they term oneroHs
taxation. If these institutions cant bear
taxation when they realize annually
twenty per cent. on capital invested,
how can the farmer afford to bear his
taxation burdens when h9 realizes
emily three per cent, on his capital? The
fact is patent that those who handle
money as merchandise are the only class
who rIy profitable business in these
times. They wiring their gilt-edged
dividends out of the blood-sweat and
mortgaged forecloses of hard-fsted Ia
Dor.
The dictatorship of capital is very i'm
perious at this dry. Clad in purple and
fine linen, it aspires to live and thrive, ex-
cmpt from all obligation to bear its pro
rortiouate share of the public burdens
1t would swell its ccffers while pulveriz-
ing the earnings of honest industry.
We hope Congress will not heed the
petition of these banks. TIE do it would
be to place still more ruinous rates upon
productive labor and make tax sales o.
property the general work of the day
10 enrich capital by enslaying labor il
70 violate ali economical and politica
philosophy.

THE POLITICIANS MEAN WAR

The one great work of statesmInship
in this generation is to make Teace be-
tween the Northern and Southern peo-
pile. To attain this supreme good the
politician must be ignored He is
factor Of evil. The handspring of his
action and ambition i S ,lfshness at all
hazards. The present Presidential COM
LEGATION has been heated red hot by the
adroit inter-meddiing of keen>scented
politicians The great body of the peo-
pie seem not to be moved at the bidding
q these disturbers Of the general peace.
] he masses want commercial rest and
stability, and are disinclined to take up
the war-whOop of political Adventures.
These men for the last twenty years
have fomented discord and ruffled the
fraternity that should exist between the
sections.
The people must be reached and their
voice heard in all matters of national in
t1rest. The day has gone by for Con
gress to manufacture and direct public
sentiment. a reaction has taken place
and he is no Represen tAtiye who does
not reflect the will and wishes of his
constituents.
If the settlement Of the questions now
befgre the country are left to the man
agement of politicians, we will have a
terrible civil war upon our hands
in less than ninety days. Amidst
the throes of revolution such
characters live AMI spring in;o import
ance, Will, ~ peace is death to
their schemes and hopes Our real, true
leaders have in view only the best and
greatest good to the largest number, ir-
respective of their own individual inter
csts They would legislete for the pre-
sent and succeeding generations and in
fuse iuto the Governmental service the
conservatism of healthy, permanent de-
velopment. We have few such char
acsers both North aud South-Blyard,
Trumbull, Thurman, Lamar, Gordon. and
Young-but the great majority look not
beyond the narrow cir5le of seIfsm and
the doubtful expedients Of a time serv-
ing policy. We need a higher and
rursI plane of national legislature, not
class or sectional in its DRIFT. but that
which embraces the whole country as
che parish and the people as a unit.

At the grand demonstration of the De-
mocracy of tae District Of Columbia,

Mr.. Watterson said:
There can BE- safety nowhere, least Of

President Of the United States, the Sec
rotary of War and the Secretary Of the
Interior, the two most Influential men
bers of the maj lrity in the Senate and
the General Of the Army are committed
in advance of an undetermined Presi-
Dental election to any fix d partisan
policy. But when these organize them
selves into a corporation; wlen they

they use the power lodged with thom as

THE DARK PIT YAWNs.

The Radicals are destined to take the
final leap into outer darkness. The
drift of discussion and committee inves
LEGATIONS is to impale the Republican
party at the bar of public opinion as the
most corruptly dangerous political ele-
ment that ever ruled in American affairs.
The leaders see and feel the impending
doom awaiting them in the future. The
grim, tormenting phantoms of their fo1l
deeds now stalk before them as they are
about to have their wickedness exposed
The dark pit of their evil doings opens
To conceal and consign them to lgnomi-
nious shades. They would seek shelter
from some source, but an avenging De
mocracy is pursuing them in the spirit OF
patriotis5n and constitutional right aad as
a result the history Of that party will YET
be canonized as the darkest page IN
American history. Tnus wickedness and
criminal weaknesses are coming home
10 roost.

Damaged Men,

You can see, any day, in the streets
Of any city, men WAC look damaged
Men, teo, OF good original material, who
started out In life with generous aspira-
lions. Once it was said they were
bright, promising lads; once they looked
happily lntO the faces Of mothers, waoye
daily breath was n prayer for their
purity and peace. All! what if some of
them have vowed their souls a say to
confting wives, who silently wonder
what can be the meaning Ct this change
the coll, slOw-creePins shadow that IS
coming over the house ami heart
Gong to the bad! The spell Of evil
com panionship; the willingness 20 hold
and uss money not honestly gained; the
stealthY, seductive, plausible advance Of
t he appetite for srrC Hg drink; he treach
erous fascination Of the gaming table;
the gradual loss Of interest in business
anu doings which build q man up; the
rapid weakening of all noble purposes;
the decay Of manliness; the reckie5sness
and blasphcmy against fate; the sullen
despair of ever breaking the chains OF
evil habit. What vic cries Of fame and
contempt, what harVests of hell, have
grown from such seed as thi Sheer, if
you will, like fool, at the suggestion Of
reform, morals, religion. Every man
knows, in his better moods, that all there
Is of true life is personal virtue and rec
titude of character Going to the bad!
But there is hope. Earth and heave n
are full of hands ever reaching to help
the lost MAJ back to the better way
All the good there Is in the universe /,
in sympathy with that little goodness
which inTardIy reproves and protests.

The great event of the day Is the final
agreement of the Senate and House
Committees on the Elc ctoral Vote upon
q plan of adjustment. The President
of the Senate is confined to the mere
ministerial duty of opening all the cleo
toral certificates and lay ing them before
the two Houses. lie is net to suppress

votes, because of cOntesting returns.
disqualifcations, etc, are to be referred
to the tribunal of arbitration, along with
tie papers and evidence in each case
The tribunal IS to examine the whole
subject dispose of the contests, and rem
der a decision to the two Houses, stating
which candidate has a majority and Is
elected President, or that no candidate
has received q majority of al the
votes Their decision is to be fual
unless reversed by both the Hous IS.
If they decide that nobody is elected
| President, then the House shall pro-
! coed to ballot for a President according
/ to the cons titation. The tribunal IS to
/ be composed of FIVE Senators-three
/ Republicans and two DamOcrats-tO be
/ chosen UiCd COce, five members of the
/ House of Representatives. three Demo

Ell cjCa Uoce, and five Justices of the Su-

as members, and these four are to select
! the fifth Justice. The Justices from the
! States in which the candidates reside are
/ excluded, thus narrowing the choice to
Judge Davis or Judge Bradley. 7he
bill only applies to the pending Presi
/ Dental election. There are six out o
seven of each committee IN favor of the
plan. Mr. Morton and Mr.. Hunton
withhold their assent, but Gen. Huntor

feeling IN the two houses appears to b.
favorable to the measure.
