THE bull-dozing Democracy in the Mis-
sissippi Legislature are unable 70 agree
upon candidate for United States Senator
to take the place of Mr.. Bruce, the colored
Republican, whose term will expire next
year. While successful in bull-dozing
others, these Mississippi patriots 40 not
appear to be able 10 bull-doze each other
Chicago Journal.
The protracted struggle among Dem
-ocrats over the Senatorial nomination is
furnishing pretext for such mean com
ments as the foregoing. 1t is proper to
say that it is not the habit of the Mis-
sissippi Democrats to bull-doze any body,
much less attempt it with each ether,
The Senatorial contest Is a generous
rivalry upon the high plane of personal
honor and political brotherhood.

We have sail fba.
- connor, the Democratic prophet Of
evil, Is an eccentric and unreliable pol
itieian, and nothing demonstrates it
more clearly than the letter which Is
causing 50 much comment throughout
the country. 1t is misnomer to call
him Democrat if this letter Is 10 be
accepted as his declaration Of political
faith. He is consolidationist Of the
worst kind. See the positions he as
sumes. First, he says That the sepa-
rate State governments should be a.bol-
ished; and, secondly, that the quadren-
NAL Presidency should be abolished.
An executive chief, says Mr.. O'Connor,
might be selected by lot from the legis-
fetive corps for the ensuing month on
some late day in each month. Third
The Senate should be abolished, but the
Representatives retained as now.
No man is Democrat who tavors
such a creed as the foregoing. 1t is
simply proposition to subyert our
present republican form Of government,
and to give ascendaney to the despotic
doctrine Of Capitalization over the great
conservative principle of strict eonstruc-
ton and local seH-government. If Mr..
O'Connor can hold these views and be
a Democrat, We must confess that We
have erred in the creed of the party to
which we belong.

FoREIGN immigration is again ON the

better times here and worse times in
Europe When one learns that the
number of Immigrants arriving in New

with 81 500 in 1878, he can realize by a

SENATOR Nancy, of Texas, Is report
ed hopeful that the bill to aid in the
establishment of steamship line be-

will pass the present session. We hope
so. As the Washington Post well re-
marks, one-half the foreign exports Of
Brazil are bought by the United States.
Nine-tenths of the payments are made
in cash one-tenth in our own exports.
Instead of having the balance of trade
with that country so enormously against
US, we ought to ship enough of our pro
dncts to balance the account. But we
can never do this until we have increas-
ed commercial facilities. And we can
never have these until our Government
will follow the example of European
powers in the encouragement Of steam
ship lines.
