THE difference between the posi-
ton of the Readjuster and their op-
ponents in Virginia on the debt ques-
ton, which is made so prominent
now by the contest in the Senate, is
about as follows: The Mccullough
or debt-payers' bill fixed, with the
consent of the creditors, the debt at
$32, ,0OO,O 900, made coupons receivable
for taxes and other dues to the state,
and bonds non-taxable. 1t fixed the
rate of interest at an average Offour
per cent. Senator Riddlebarger's
bill, which the Readjusters stand by,
fixed the debt at less than $20,0OO,- :
600, and made the coupons not re-
ceivable for taxes, made the bonds
taxable and the rate ofinterest three
per cent. 1t was proposed to make
this bill law without the consent of
the states creditors, on the ground
that it was just to both creditors and
state. The Readjusters' bill excludes
from. the state debt the interest ac-
cumulated during the war and recon
struction period. The Mccullough

Hon. DANIEL DoUGHERTY, the
Philadelphia orator and patriot, is
of opinion that the Democratic
party is destined to be the power OF
the near future, and gives reasons
for the faith that is in him. The
lack of firmness and ability of the
President, the disintegrated condi-
ton of the cabinet, and the rotten
ness of Radicalism as a whole, will
be the agencies to the coming sue
cess of constitutional government.
But then Democrats must not allow
the work to be done negatively by
the other side. Positive action is
called for, and this will be secured
by discovering and acknowledging
our own shortcomings. Mr.. Dough-
erty says: "Only let our party
be true to itself and success is
achieved"

A REPORT has been circulated that
the Palmer-Sullivan party, because
of difference with the Mexican gov
ernment, has discharged 5000 work
men engaged in building railways
in Mexico. Such is not true, as is
shown in the statement of Mr.. Sulli-
van:
"Having arrived from Mexico
within the last few days, can say
that the greatest harmony exists be-
tween not only the state OF Mexico,
but all the other states as well,
through which the railroad will
pass, and the Palmer-Sulliyan COM
pany. There are nowNworking on
the section between Mexico and
Toluca 10000 men, also on the Sec
tion from Toluca to MaravatiO' 5000
men. Furthermore, between Nor
ella, the capital of the state of Mich
oadan, and Maravatio there are
5000 men. These men receive three
reals (374 cents) per day. Sleepers

between the capital and the Texas
border at Laredo, between Manza-
Milo and the capital, and at Zaca-
teca, and other points, and the
plan of the Manzanilfo and Colima
section having recently been ap-
proved by the government, the work
of construction has been commenced
at that end also. At the northern
end the eompany's track will reach
Laredo from Corpus Christi GIGS
miles) in June, and all arrangements
are made with q view to executing
the order TO reach Monterey by the
close of next year. There it will
meet the track being laid north
ward from the capital, which, is in
tended to reach San Luis Potosi at
the same time. Further, two hun
dred locomotives have been ordered,
of which four had arrived at the
City of Mexico and were set up
when left there. Four thousand
freight cars have also been ordered
for delivery at Vera Cruz, Corpus
Christi and Manzanillo. Youwin
see, therefore, that the work is pro-
ceeding with great activity at many
different points. ! will only add, in
conclusion, that good will exists be-
tween all the authorities, state and
federal, and the. company, fact
which can be readily asoertained
from any person recently coming

IT is a notable fact, says the Phila-
delphia Times, that hardly one of
the large cities of the United States
now has q municipal government in
harmony with the Federal admins
tration. No matter how surprising
this may be it is certainly true since
the elections of the other day, when
the Republican cities were turned
over throughout the country to
Democrats. st. Louis, a Demo-
cratic city, elected a Republican
mayor, and this comes of the fact
that long Democratic sway there
had antagonized a great many voters;
and a strong ticket turned the
scale. But think ofChicago, with its
Democratic majority of 5000 votes.
Cincinnati, too, has returned to its
oil love by a much more decided
vote than this, and SO the tables have
turned, and the signs are hopeful
beyond measure. 1t is..the old re-
cord being repeated. Parties long
in power become, too often, arro-
giant and uncompromising, and like
the Republican party has become,
they too often turn into subser-
yiency of men, instead of measures.
and thus they decay. Again, too
the great cities which have just de-
veloped this unexpected result are
possessed of great wealth, and their
voters have the most correct ideas
of financial obligations. Tney know
that private reputation means ruiz
of men, and that public repudi'
ton destroys the financial stand
ing of states and eommuni
ties, and considering such serious
questionsmany have been influenced
to vote against this new-fangled

A SOCIALIST editor from Leip-
sic, Germany, has been stating
to the COurier-Jou1nal the relations
of Nihilists in Russia. There
are three factions, one aiming at
constitutional monarchy and free
suffrage. another at Socialistic re-
public, corresponding to the Social
lists of Germany. The other faction
is composed of Anarchists, who are
against all government, and would
destroy everything, and these are
the assassins. There are Anarchists
in Germany, but they are excluded
from the Socialistic party. The So
cialists believe they can accomplish
their objects peaceably and are op-
posed to violence. .

IN1s15 the Holy Alliance was or

In 1915, the Holy Alliance was or
ganized among the leading mon
arches of Europe for mutual protec-
ton against revolution. The osten-
sible purpose was to heal the
wounds produced by revolution,
and to maintain peace, after the
twenty years war that had followed
the French revolution. Agencies
similar to those which produced q
disruption of Europe then, have
been operating since the creation of
the so-calIed French Republic. The
destruction of monarchy in name
only in France, has tended to lead
certain class in Europe, who hardly
know what popular freedom means,
to commit the most enormous ex-
eesses against established power. and
if the emperors and kings are ever
going to defend themselves and their
Institutions, late events show GER
tainy it is time they were about it.

THE New York Chamber of Com
merce has been considering the
question of railroad consolidation.
The views of Leland Stanford,
president of the Central Pacific rail-
way, were received and read and
considered, and the unanimous
opinion of the board was, that they
were false as to the relations which
should exist between the people and
railroads. The report adopted
stated, in it's conclusion, that
"Great efforts are now being made
by persons in the railroad interest
| to prove that railroad consolidation,
with all its increase of power in the
hands of few men, is in the inter-
est of commerce, because it reduces
the proportionate expense of operat-
ing these modern highways, and the
constant decline in the charges for
transportation is pointed TO in con-
| firmation of this theory. Your COM
mittee are, of course, aware of a
greater proportionate rate of econo-
my of operating large than small
establishments of all kinds and to
this rule railroads are no exceptions.
We have no objections to all rail-
roads in the United States being con
solidated into single system, pro-
vided that system is controlled
