III tho Union was worth fighting for ii is
worth paying for.
The Democratic Programme.

The Democrats are showing their hand
before the game is played. 1t has long been
evident 10 political observers that they would,
if ever they got full control of the govern
ment, practically nullify the constitutional
amendments and virtually deprive the South
ern negro of the right of suffrage. But it
was believed they would attempt to conceal
their purpose until they had secured the
Presidency. Success, however, has unsettled
them. They will have majority in both
houses of Congress after the 4th of March,
and they are bent on using their power as
soon as it comes to them. They have de-
termined to force an extra session by tacking
on to appropriation bills legislation repeating
the Federal election laws. Of course so bur-
dened, the appropriation bills cannot get
through the present Congress, and the only
thing left to do will be to call a session of the
new Congress in which the Democrats have
majority. Then the last obstacle in the
way of the Southern bulldozer and ballot
box-stuffer will be removed, and the "sol;d-
ity' of the South be assured.
There are Democrats who stoutly oppose
this plan as impoltic if not unjust. Senator
Bayard is one of these. He does not hesitate
to stigmatize the course resolved upon by the
party caucus as revolutionary, and warns his
associates that it will provoke a revolution in
public sentiment. AS he tells them, they are
sure of the South in any event; the North is
the real battle-ground, and if they win they
must divide that. He and his followers have
however been overruled, and the reactionist
policy of Senator Thurman adopted. Repub-
licans, who naturally look upon the defeat Of
Mr.. Bayard in this case as help to the Repub
lican party, are not greatly displeased at
the action of the Democratic caucus. They
firmly believe that the Democracy only needs
rope enough in order to hang itself, and they
gladly go before the country on the issue as
made up. In defence of the validity of the
constitutional amendments, the freedom of
elections and the purity Of the ballot box they
confidently count upon the support of a ma
jority OF the voters of the nation.

1T seems that the marriage question has
something to do with the Zulu war. King
Cetewayo will not allow his soldiers to marry
until they are forty years old. Sir Bartte
Fiere insists that they shall marry whenever
they want to. 1t is none Of tne Englishman's
business; but that reflection never yet
troubled an Englishman where weak nation
was concerned. The war however, will have
ore good effect; it will enable some man to
say that woman is at the bottom of it-a
