Pooling their Issues .

Yesterday the Republicans opened their
campaign in Ohio with their big guns"
and, as the public are informed, amid a
profusion of pyrotechnics. 1t was dis.
play evidently intended to convey the i'm
preston that all was peace and goodwill
between the leaders of that party in that
State. TO those who know the true in
wardness of the Republican Ohio tea.
kettle. a better piece of hypocrisy was
never enacted on the public stage, Sher-
man, Schurz, and Taft were the big
guns" to do with words what the fireworks
did in light Sherman took the centre of
the State, flanked on either side by Taft,
who spouted at Cleveland, and Schurz,
who spoke at Cincinnati. Thus the whole
State was covered at once with the glory
OF Republican harmony"
This was the outward appearance, but
the inside of the demonstration bore an
entirely different aspect. The reason for
the selection OF these two men to aid Sher.
man is that they represent different types
OF kepubli3anism. Schurz is the scholar,
the pure statesman, who really is the head
and front of the best elements of the Re-
publican party. He is theOrist, and has
no patience with such corrupt political in
triguing as Cameron and Zach Chandler
and the other Republican managers have
carried into practice. Sherman, on the
other hand, is trickster, an INSCRIPTIONS
political schemer. To believe, then, that
these two men are in accord il to supDose
that Carl SchurZ has sunk all those DO
litical principles which gave him an envi-
able reputation as one of the first Ameri-
can statesmen, and has turned his back on
himself and turned himself inside out.
And there is the same radical difference
between Taft and Sherman. Taft knows
In politics but one political ambition, his
own advancement and that of his master,
Grant. With John Sherman in the
Presidency he would be out in the cold,
and therefore to help the Sherman boom
IS to politically bury himself. Each dis
trusts and dislikes the other, and if the
one Is chalk the other is cheese. As a
matter of politics both of these men may
appear to be in sympathy with the present
Republican ticket in Ohio. But Taft was
cheated out of the nomination by Sherman,
aud would lose his right hand sooner than
promote Fosters election were it to involve
Sherman's nomination, What they say
Will go but little way to promote good feel
ing in the ranks. What they think will
really represent the lukewarmness which
their followers will display towards the
sherman ticket on election day.
but 1t was, nevertheless, a beautiful
picture OF family harmony, 1t was az fine
an evidence of peace and good win as
would be displayed by the spectacle of
Comptroller Kelly and Samuel j. Tilden
stumpiug New York together for Lucius
Robinson. The Republican campaign in
Ohio started like q rocket. 1t may be that
stick.

the Important Question.

The contest in 1880 will not be so much
on finance. as Oh the great estlop,-Shall
the states be permitted to govern 10 state
matters, without federal dictation? This
all important issue will be presented for
solution by the people, and is the great
overshadowing question Of the hour. This
does not sanction or include the right OF
state to secede from the federal compact
and our republican opponents want to
distinctly understand it, but it does pro-
vide that state authority shall be para
mount to all other authority in state mat
ters. The right of states to govern in
state matters, so long as the laws Of the
state are 10 conformity with the constitu-
ton of the United States is an inalisnable
privilege which, once abolished, will sunder
the ties of free government and drift the
republic into a monarchy. 1t is the only
safe protection for the people against
despotic abuse Of national power and
should never be surrendered upon any pre-
text.
The blatant demagogues Of the Repub-
iican party are seeking to impress the
country with the idea that states rights
and secession are synonymous. This is,
in plain, uuvarnished Saxon-a lie Fur
Their, the men who so state it know it to be
lie, and they are willingly misrepresent-
ing the true meaning Of the doctrine Of
state sovereignty for party effect. There
is nothing the Republican party would
not do to continue its i'll gotten lease Of
power-even to the establishment of ar
empire The Republican doctrine .ol
national supremacy means the centralizinG
Of supreme power 10 one man, and that
man the chosen creature of the .Republi'
can party. There is no measure which
has assumed prominence since the founda-
ton of the republic which is more fraugh'
with danger to our free government and
the liberties of the people, than the pro
posed enforcement OF the Republican
scheme of national supremacy.

The Kalloch affair is not likely to have
any material effect on the election in Cali
fornia, and will not change what would
have been the result had it not occurred,
Public opinion is already pretty well
moulded-indeed so thorough has been
the canvass that the result, although not
yet announced, may be considered as settled
with the people. Demagogues are of
course trying to make capital out of the
blyody affair, but this will react and prove
a curse instead of blessing,

Political.

The California Constitutional Convention
has rejected all the propositions to extend the
elective franchise to women.
Fifteen Kentucky democrats are candidates
for the nomination for State Superintendent
of Public Instruction.
Senator Plat, of Connecticut, about thirty
wears ago, was the Principal of an academy
in Pennsylvania. His predecessor in tn;
position was Mr.. Henry NJ. Hoyt. Curiously
enough, on Tuesday Mr. Hoyt was inaugural
ed as Governor of Pennsylvania, and Mr..
Plat was elected Senator of the United
States.
In regard to Mr.. Bayards Withdrawal
from the Teller Committee the Washington
correspondent of the Springfield Republican
says:
1t is feared now that Mr.. Bayard finds him
self incapable of rising to this bipartisan at
titude; that, finding overwhelming evidence
of intimidation, he has shirked the responsi-
bility, and that, when he returns from Texas,
he will set up the plea for his withdrawal that
the committee was gathering its evidence out
of the mire and filth Of Louisiana radica ism
and negro ignorance and irresponsibility. II
these fears are realized, Mr.. Bayard may as
well bid good day to all hope of the next
presidency, for his only opportunity in that
direction lies in the trust and confidence Of
the independent men of the country, who will
not sit supinely by and see any partisan or a
hero Of partsans incontinently thrust into the
White House, and they are already looking
about for an bipartisan statesman.

indignation rises. If other democrats at
the North were not more willing, more
wise or more reticent than he, the last
great democratic principle might COM
pletely vanish, and the party itself break
up in grand row. Whenever Southern

cratic victory does not mean payment OF
war claims, building levees and railroads.

buildings, improvement OF harbors, multi

will be no Southern democracy.

The Earl of Derby recently addressed the
Workingman's Club of Rochdale, England,
in relation to the depression of trade in that
country. In regard to redundant popula-
ton and emigration he spoke as follows:
"But though don't hold that there is much
of an opening for workingmen on the land at
home, don't say the same of land elsewhere.
/ think it is a very fair question whether, in
this little island Of ours, we are not getting
packed too close, and whether we have not
suffered from the comparative stoppage of en-
igration in the last few years. Emigra-
ton is, for people like ours, natural and
even necessary outlet. You may pass what
laws you please, you may tighten the burden
of taxation until the working,uen are practi-
cally exempt, but so long as there are more
of them than can get work, so long as two
men are looking after one employer. neither
votes, nor freedom from taxes, nor anything
else that politicians can do, nor yet any expe-
dent of their own for producing artificial
scarcity Of labor in special employments,
will, in the long run, prevent them from be-
ing badly off. | am not contending of course
that any Of you should start off for the new
world without inquiry as to the chances when
you get there. Just now the Americans have
their troubles as well as we, but with
their boundless soilthey are rapidly accumulat.
ing capital, and with their exceptional energy
they are sure to rally before long; indeed,
believe the rally has already begun.
There are children living who will proba.

as to their chances beyond the Atlantic, either

The New York Home Journal says the

Most people would probably consider it a
piece of extremely good luck to draw prize

proved by a story in an indianapolis paper Of

money was wasted in riotous living, and when
it was gone gambling and drinking had be.
come passions with him. His debts have
been settled by his father again and again
and his embellishments have been kept out Of
