n Banks and business houses are smashing,
all over the country. Not a day passes but the
papers contain reports of from one to half doz-
en- failures. The banks that are breaking are
mostly savings banks, and the losers are poor
iaboring people. The cause of the failures, is
the ruinous financial policy of Hayes aud Sher-
man, at the bidding Of the Eastern aud foreign
boudholders-th men who are so solicitous for
the credit of the nation, and the welfare Of the
moor laboring people.

mortifying to them, to see the paper constantly
slashing into Democrats and their principles,
solely because the staunch Democratic editor
s3csan't understand them.

LKr ACTIONS SPEAK.-Senator Cockrell, OF
Missouri, has proposed constitutional amend
nsent, forever prohibiting payment OF pensions
30 Confederate soldiers during the rebellion /;
prohibiting the payment of any rebel claims f'r
losses in consequences of the war; and denying
the right of secession. Upon this, the Demo
Gratis exclsimn, .The last Radical issue gone"
Senator Cockreil is Democrat, aud was a reb-
81 ofIicer. His amendments sound well, but the
Democracy had better not crow about the last
ssue being gonr at least until the issue has fair
iy begun. This mag he = little piece of bun-
conbe on the part Of Senator Cockrell; but II
he is really in earnest, and If the Democratic
party are in earnest, they must show 1t by their
acts. Proposing the amendment is very small
part of the work. To take effect, 1t must pas,
both houses of Congress by two-thirls majori-
ties. and then Je ratified by the Legislature, Of
two-thirls of the States. The lower House of
Congress is Democrrtic, and the Senate almost
eanally divided. Il Will require the votes Of
many Democrats in both branches to carry it (;
aud 1t will require the ratification of the Legis-
latures Of number of the States of the Demo
cratic Solid South, and the Democratic Legisla-
stures of number of Northern States. When
Senator Cockrell's amendment runs the gaunt-
lot of those Democratic bodies, it will be time
enough for them to boast of the last Radical ssne
being gone. But what would an amendment
prohibiting secession amount to Senator Cock
rsll and his party have once trampled upon
every law of God and man, in an attempt at Sc
session; what would prevent them from doing
the same thing againi What wond Consti-
tutiouai provision amount to, in the eyes Of an
armed horde, bent upon destroying the Govern
mcnt and its Constitution
The last Radical issue is not gone, aud per-
haps will not be gone during the lifetime Of the
present generation of Democratic vipers. The
only safety lies in q Constitutional guarantee
with Republican majority in all branches oil
the Government to enforce it.

mands of Dictator Hayes, and have remained
true to the principles of the party that elected

he proposes throwing himself into the arms Of
the Democracy. How much truth there is in
this report, we are unable to say; but it is what
Hayes has practically been coming to, for
months. The sooner be goes over, the better it
win it be for the Republican party. He now
only divides it. If he should 60 over to the On

than ever.

- We congratulate the Democracy Of Doni-
phan County upon having an organ that they
"will always be satisfied with"-that is 80 iguo-
raut of Democratic men and measures that it is
liable at any time to turn it's guns upon the DEM
ocratic party, and fire broadside into their
ranks. After all the rejoicing that was done
but the other day, as it were, over the election
of Bishop, the Democratic candidate for Govern
or Of Ohio, by almost $4,000 majority, We sup
posed that Democratic organ, at least, would
remember the fact. But here comes last weeks
Balietin with the following wicked slash at Bish-
op, upon the supposition that he is Republican.
When that fellow finds out that he has been
showing M the hoggisbness of a model Demo-
crat, perhaps he will see the point of the joke:
Governor Bishop, of Ohio is Republican in pecu-
liar circumstances. At the time of his election he
was trustee of railroad at salary Of 900 per an.
num- His salary as Governor is only $1,000 The
trouble with him Ia whether he hold both posi-
tons. The Supreme Court of that State have told
him he could hold both but the editors Of some
of the Ohio papers say If he does the Legislature will
pass law compelling him to resign one or the other,
80 quick that it will make his head swim.

THE WICKED WEsT.-The Eastern papers
want 1t to be understood that they do not
charge the South with being rcsposible~ for the
doctrines of Reputation, but that the hot-bed
Of the infamy is in the wicked West. They Ia
ment that, whereas, the West is poweriess for
mischief of itself, the South votes almost soidly
with her, giving the Repudiationists majority.
This dreadful epithet, "Repudiation," it should
be understood, means the demonstration OF sill
ves, and the repeal of the Resumption act. 1t is
lamsntable to think that the East has lost the
power to control the legislation of the country.
She thinks that all the West and South were
made for, was to borrow her money at usurious
rates of interest, giving her a mortgage npon
their homes; but that when it comes to legislat-
ing upon the finances, that belongs to the Euro
pean aud Eastern bondholders and capitalists.
Il hurts her to realize that the power has passed
from her hands. The hurt is liable to become
permanent, and to keep getting worse.
