characterized "the masses" as the
phrase is, than George Eliot;
Take us working men of all sorts.
Suppose out of every hundred who
had vote there were thirty who
had some soberness, some sense to
choose with, some good feeling to
make them wish the right thing for
all. And suppose there were sew
enty out of the hundred who were,
half OF them, not sober, who bad
no sense to choose one thing IN
politics more than another, and who
had so little good feeling in them
that they wasted on their own
drinking the money that should
have helped to clothe their wives
and children; and another half OF
them who, if they didn't drink,
were too ignorant, or mean, or stu
pid, to see any good for themselves
better than pocketing FIVE shilling
piece when it was offered them.
Where would be the political power

boston Herald ]

The sudden and remarkable de-
velopment of a temperance senti-
ment in portions of the south and
southwest has been one of the most
curious phases of moral reform IN
our history as a nation. The idea
of a powerful prohlbitory sentiment
in North Carolina, for example, or
of crusade of teetotal,sm in Ar
kansas, would have caused a skep-
tical smile and shoulder shrug few
years ago. And yet the temper
ance revival in these and other
states where whiskey has hitherto
been as natural drink as mothers
milk, has taken a deeper hold and
been more widespread than in our
New England states where so much
more gong beating has been done
IN its behalf. A gentleman who
has recently Travelled in the track
of the reform at the south found
whole communities that had "sworn
off leaving only the chrome

On THE 4th. of July, Senator
Mcrriman of North Carolina ad-
dressed an audience of 10000 peo-
pie in favor of prohibition. The
Senator is one of the purest and
ablcst Democratic statesmen in the
Senate, and in obedience to the dc
tates of a lofty sense of duty has
been making the canvass in his
state in favor of Prohibition. He
does not wait to find out whether
the majority Of the people are IN
favor of il; but be has found out
that it Is right, and practicable, and
for a statesman, that is enough. Tho
mere politician is generally stand
ing off at safe distance, and watch
ing the conduct Of the people, to
see how things are going. The con-
trast between the conduct of a
statesman and that of mere time
serving politician is striking, and
will not be forgotten by the people.
We would like to hear from some
of our Senators and congressman.
We have heard from Merriman in
North Carolina, when will we be
able to hear from our Arkansas
Senators !?

Locating the Blame.

Commenting on the increase in

believes that "tbe trouble to-day is

Either some different methods of
selecting juries must be obtained or
some change IN the laws requiring
unanimous verdict, or we shall
have little remedy against lawless
men, save Judge Lynch. How cor
rupted publc opinion may become
as to the sanctlty of human lite, and
the turpitude of murder may be
guaged by observing in this very
state of Kentucky the comparative
indifference with which the people
regard murders committed in their
midst"
The truth of the above juts out

Under the practical operations of

under tho ban, and premium is
offered for gross ignorance. The

Burning Of the Steamers

While lying at the Wharf in
Memphis last Sunday evening the
Steamer Idlewild of the Lee line
caught fire which soon commune

were entirely consumed. The fire
originated in the Locker Of the
Idlewild. The watchman, who was
engaged in lighting bis lamps drop

oily rags and papers, which blazed
up so rapidly as to render the fire
beyond control in q few seconds OF
time. No blame is attached to him.

lost its charms or been surrendered

POLITICAL BREVITIEs.

~ There are Democrats who prsezAd
to believe that the split-Solid South can
be gummed together again in 1884.
Theirs is genuine case Of drowning
men and straw.
~ Major Daniel, the defeated Bour-
bon candidate for Governor of Virginia,
Is stepping about in q very chirpy man
ner, and Is predicting that his State will
be solid again for the Democratic party
before long. When he was congratu-
lated on his high spirits recently, he
said: why, I have not thought OF
politics since election" His observa-
tions upon Virginia sufficiently attest
that.
RT North Carolina, South Carolina
and Georgia are all ripe for revolt from
the Solid South. A fair vote and an
honest count would show heavy anti
Bourbon majorities in all three States
to-day. Whether they have the leaders
capable of bringing about a successful
revolt by next election day is a doubtful
question, but sooner or later the change
viii come, and he is very sanguine
Democrat who thinks it can be delayed
till after the next Presidential election.
DOMr Watterson's remark that the
Democrats were worsted in the tariff
discussion of the last campaign because
they were exhausting their brain power
upon the Morey forgery and an effort to
insert spigot into Mr.. English's bar
rel, is true so far as it goes. If he does
not think they would be worsted again
in similar discussion, even if they con-
centrated their full brain power upon
It, let him have the tariff for revenue
only plank put into the platform of
1884 and invite square tussle on that
issue alone. The Republicans will meet
him more than half way.-M r. ITib-
ups.
~Can it be possible that Mr.. Til
den is organizing still hunt for re-
nomination in 1884? If he really wants
to try it again, he ought to have no
trouble in getting his party to consent.
They have no hope of success, and the
most the campaign can do for them will
be to give them some funds to distribute.
A candidate with barrel is what they
want, and there are none such in sight
except Mr.. Tilden. 1t would give the
Republicans great pleasure to see him
in the field again. He represents some
peculiar issues, and we undertake to say
that If he took the field even the tariff
issue would slide into the background.
4uht OuSut W Uc al duutiOu<i inuuCO-
ment for the Democrats to renominate

~ Ex-Congressman Stenger, Of
Pennsylvania, seems to be a Democratic
statesman yho is able to say just what
he thinks about the future of his party.
Concerning proposition for the Demo
Gratis to nominate him for Governor Of
Pennsylvania next year he says: (" 1t
will depend upon future Developments.
As ! see things now politically the
clouds have leaden lining" They
have the same kind of lining to every
other Democrat who looks at them.
There is nothing for the party to do but
sible for them to emerge again into pub
lie view without getting wet.
