The Danger from Democracy.

Secretary Sherman, it is said, has
Improperly asserted that the restOra-
ton of the Democratic party to power
is tthe only danger that really threat
ems our public peace and safety" 1t is
even said that Mr.. Sherman cannot
possibly believe this, and must be in
sincere in saying it. Patriotic and
able Democrats are named, by way of
proof that the country has nothing to
fear from the advent of that party to
serted that whenever the ascendancy
of either party is actually and pOssi-
lively a menace to the publice peace
and safety, then the days of liberty are
numbered But Mr.. Sherman is en-
tirely right in this matter, and his
critics are palpably in the wrong.
There was time, not more than sew
enteen years ago, when the ascendan-
CIV of the Democratic party would have
been not only menace to the public
peace and safety but an inevitable and
quick disunion, with resulting war,
endless and merciless, between sun
dered sections.
Secretary Sherman wisely refuses to
forget that time. In some degree the
Democratic party has changed its con-
stituent elements, but the same con
trolling spirit remains. 1t is ruled by
the South, as it was before the war.
In loose and jocular phrase the South
is said to be reconstructed, but it is
absolutely impossible to name the
Southern statesman who dares publicly
to disavow the ideas fer which the
South was said to fight. Southern
statesmen come back into the Union
because they cannot help it. But not
one of them ventures to denOunce the
objects of the war, or to say that on the
part of the South it was wrongly
fought, or to say that the South will
not seek in peace, and by means of
its political power, the very objects
which it mistakenly sought to gain by
war. Until the South has changed, /,
why should its tool, the Democratic
party, be thought to have changed in
purpose or character. ~
Secretary Sherman need not go back
further than the opening Of the present
session of Congress TO prove that "the
Democratic party threatens our public
peace aud safety" The attempt TO set
aside thehettlement of the Preside1-
tial question, and 10 reopen that 10 ost
exciting and dangerous controversy, Is
made by Democrats only, has The sup
port of moi a single Republican, and Obj
viously threatens. the public peaee
and safety. The effort TO rob creditors

From Across the Continent.

Mr.. John Stiff, of Scio, Oregon, writes
that DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy and
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
cured his wife. OF catarrh, bronchitis,
and asthma, after she had been pro-
nounced incurable by physicians. For
nearly quarter of a century Dr.Sage's
Catarrh Remedy has been acknowled
ged as the favorite medicine for cold
in the head, oZena, and catarrh, while
many physicians use it constantly in
their practice, depending wholly upon
it in this class of affections. We have
only space for few of the many thou
sand names of those cured, whose let
ters are on file in DR.. Pierce's Office, at
the Worlds Dispensary, Buffalo, n. Y.
The following are among them:

BEFORE the passage of the silver bill.
we were told by its advocates that the
people were travelling and groaning
together for return of the shining sill
yer dollars of the fathers. Bland and
Ewing objected to the Senate amend.
ment limiting the coinage to four'mil-
lions. month, because such. a limit
would not satisfy the cry for silver
dollars. After the bill became law
over the Presidents veto, its advocates
were alarmed lest the Secretary shonld
fail 10 enforce it and give the country
the instant and cheering relief the bill
promised. The Secretary quieted that
fear by expending money 10 prepare
for the full coinage authorized by the
law. When the first batch was issued,
q hundred thousand dollars were called
for by as many people who could af.
ford to buy silver pocket piece as a
reminder oftfe folly of the age. After
the curiosity demand was supplied,
silver dollars, sacred, shining, and
bright as they were, became a drug;
and the report comes from Washing.
ton that the total demand for silver
dollars at the Treasury, exclusive of
the bank demand, does uot average a
hundred dollars day, and that of the
total amount sent from the mint to the
Treasury, 10000, in all, 1900 still
remain in the vaults. The people do
not want them, and should the $4S,.
000,000 be coined ia the first twelve
months, $44 ,0Oo, 600 OF it viii be found
in the vaults at the close OF the year

WHILE General Grant was in Con-
stantinople the Sultan made him a gilt
of beautiful horse. After his Turkish
Majesty had shown his palace and gar
dens TO his guest he conducted
him to his stables. He ordered his
best horses to be put on exhibition, and
when they had been sufficiently admir-
ed he told the General to make selec-
tion, taking the one which pleased him
most. At first the General could not
consent to it, and warmly protested
against the Sultan's generosity. The
Sultan's Minister of War, however,
interpo5ed, informing Gen. Grant if he
did not accept the gift his Majesty
would be much displeased. The
General thereupon selected dapple
gray, superb in form and having a step
that would light with admiration the
eye of any cavalier. The caparisons
were brought out, and the horse, in
splendid attire, was formally present
ed to General Grant. The Sultan, at
his own expense, has sent the horse to
Mar5eilles, whence he will proceed to
New York.

The committeeman of the several
counties of this Congressional district
will meet in Bellaire, on next Satur-
day, to determine when and where the
next Congressional Convention is to be
held. The convention two years ago
was held at Bellaire, on the 10th day
of May. AS Bellaire is probably the
most accessible point for all the coun-
ties and is neutral ground, we suggest
that the convention be held there this
year about June 4th. Following is the
committee to determine the question :
John o. McGowan, Jefferson county;
W. N. Farrar, Guernsey; d. A. Hol-
lingsworth, Harrison; W. III. Cooley,
Noble: Alexis Cope, Belmont.

Fruit Prospects for the Year.

The Cincinnati Enquirer of Saturday
published reports of the fruit prospects
rerl esenting the greater portions of the
States of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and
Kentucky. The prospects for heavy
yield of fruit this season is very fiatter-
ing, while the peach crop in low lands
is reported damaged to the extent of
fifty per cent Apples, cherries, ETC.,
with but few exceptions, are reported
to be in excellent condition. The
reports show large increase in orchard
acreage within the past five years.
The total acreage of Ohio is over 400,-
900, being an increase within the time
specified of nearly 20 per cent.

of the nation, by making its bonds
and the interest thereon payable in
deprecated money, unquestionably
threatens the credit, and therefore the
peace and safety Of the country; and it
is made mainly by Democrats, and
would doubtless have succeeded If
there had not been Republican Pres.
ident. Four fifths of the Democratic
members of Congress are intiationists,
and of their thousand schemes every
one threatens the public peace and
safety, and the success of each and all
is to-day prevented by Republican
Senate or Republican President.
More lies behind, as the vote of the
House on Monday proves. Nobody
can guess how many millions may be
voted away, if the Democratic party
gains the power. Seven millions on
Monday-why? Because the South
wanted three millions or more, and
was willing to conspire with hungry
members from other sections. Can
anybody guess how many millions the
House would have voted, If there had
been Senate to match?. That there
are Southern claims, for losses during
the war, readers of The Tribune know.
Does any one suppose that these claims
would be forgotten or generally reject
ed, if the Democratic party had power?
All these expenditures and claims
threaten the public safety, because
bankruptcy will come if they are
granted. They threaten the public
peace, because disorder, and resistance
to law, ifnot actual disunion, will fol-
low whenever the Nation is financially
crippled. Secretary Sherman told
nothing but the truth. Democratic
rule means now, as it did during the
war, peril to the Union-peril to its
redit, its prosperity, It's peace and its
cafely.-N. Y. Tribune.

FROM present appearances we shall
be tolerably free from financial lunacies
in Ohio in the approaching campaign.
The silver question has dropped out OF
politics completely and nobody cares a
picsyune whether the new dollars
come into circulation or not. TheAnti-
resumption craze has run its course and
is not even available for Democratic
platform clap trap. Ninetynine men
out of every hundred, whether they
be Democrats or Republicans, want
the work of resumption finished within
the appointed time. 1t looks now as
ifthe Democrats would be reduced to
the fraud cry for party capital. The
Republicans will in all probability lay
down a platform that is plain, pro-
gressive and practical, and one oD
which the party as a National erganiza'
ton can rally in future canyasses.-
