"Fhe Jour1,at Of Commerce applauds Gen

there has been enough military inter
ference in the Southern States and
hopes that with theincoming ofthe next

has the country to show for all that

Indian territories, anarchy on the Texas
border and a continuance of bastard

the South2 1t is music to the ears Of
the people to hear the axe of retrench-
ment falling upon these extrayaeani
army bills. At least 10000, 900 could
be saved in the army expenses for 1917

Senator Morton was serensded to-

Of an enforcement of the thirteenth,

of the constitution of the United

the liberty aud the political rights of

compromise nor peace which is not
based on the political and civil rights
of all classes of men. When there
shall be such protection 10 life and

doubt from his utterances and from
his lofty character that he will do the

IHE CURTAIN DROPS.

A our Friday mornings dispatches
toreshadowed, the long night session
Of both houses ended in the joint declar.
alton OF Hayes as president Perhaps
there is not an attentive reader of the
daily press in the country who is the
least astcnished at this result. We
certainly are not. though cbagrined be
youd measure that the bright prospects
Of sure reform. which at one time
ioomed up so plainly before the eyes Of
patriots, are dimmed, aud the era of it's
future dawning undoubtedly deferred
indefinitely. IL il all folly to suppose
that Hayes can, even if he develops the
disposition. stem the commanding in
huence of Morton and other similar
leaders Of the Republican party. The
idea Is illogical. because in that event
the creature would be greater than the
creator. No, those OF us in the South
who have hugged the fond de,usion,
may rs well dismiss it at once. 1t is a
cheat aud viii only serve to nislead.
Suppose Hayes adopts the suggestion to
place one or more Southern men in the
cabinet The men in the South who
would accept the position are not such
mt II as could interpose a sufficient bar
rier between the ciipidity of the modern
Republican politician and the helpless
ness of the people of our section.
Many people affect to believe that
Hayes viii leave untouched. the Demo-
cratic state governments Of South Caro-
lima and Louisiana. Have we any we'll
placed reasons for such hope Hayes
is ns surely to-day the president made
by the Louisiana returning board as
that his name is Hayes. He is, and
must be, conscious Of it, Packard and
he are in the same boat. are the com
mon creatures of the same force of
fraud, and it would be asking too much
OF poor human nature to suppose that
he would be a party to the raising of
such a doubt of his own legitimacy as
the Endorsement Of Nichols would con-
stitute. II, IN order to conciliaie the
South, he yields TO the suggestion of
providing for it representa- tion in his
cabinet. he will be forced to choose A
man whose advancement will rtoye an
insult, rather than balm TO the
South. Even were this not the case.

which has 10y its action, in refusing TO
open the testimony in the Louisiana
case--insulted the intelligence and
manhood Of our section. No; the cur
tain has been "rung.down," and reform
and all the promise which the word
suggests, is now only precious memo
ny Of the past, and patriots everywhere
must expect the same juggling, the
same corruption, the same irresponsi
bility to prevail duriag the next four
years that mas made the memory of the
last eight great national sorrow.

iNsTEAD of disiutegration OF the
Democratic party following as q result
Of the Inauguration OF Hayes as presi-
dent, it will be strengthened, and il
will be the plain duty of every true
Democrat in the land to gather closer
round the old party hearthstones.
When traitors are boidest, then patriots
must be brave and true. There is no
hope for the country but in the theories
of Democracy. And now to weak en- in
devotion, when a great public calamity
has come upon the people, and serious
innovation has occurred upon the rights
heretofore held sacred, the Democracy
would indeed deserve an early and very
deep grave. We predict that the
SCARED and battle-worn legions, who
have been tricked out OF the fruits OF a
splendid victory, viii soon close their
ranks and lock- shields for still anoth
er future struggle and triumph, and not

incarnate, as he is, shall trick or caiole
them out Of its legitimate and perfect
results. No; we are not spprehensive
as to the safety of the patty as an or
ganization.

fhere IL a class of so-calied Demo-
cratic papers which have been in the
habit. after every check or reverse of
the party since the war, of crying out
for realignment, reorganization or re.
construction Of the party. The papers
and men who give utterance to the sen
timent wOfully mistake the tone and
temper Of the rank and file OF the party,
While interested and selfish people
falsely called leaders, undoubtedly do
hold the sentiment, but il is borne of
great fear for the safety of the positions
they hold, yet the earnest and true
men, who hold to their old allegiance
from conviction. and who do not stand
ready to barter principle for place. are
as true 10 the old traditions and doc
trines Of the party, as they ever were.
And further, defeat only serves to knit
them more firmly together. to call forth
still greater devotion, and inspie still
more heroic action.
According TO these time servers and
