Corners.

The formation of corners in
grain and provisions in the ex-
changes in the large cities like
St. Louis, Chicago and New
York has proved disastrous to
those who did not happen to be
in the corner, and also to the
general public, who are COM
PEELED daily to buy those COM
modities and pay fictitious
prices, prices not warranted by
the condition Of the crop or the
visible supply. Corners in
grain have been formed and
prices forced up FIVE, ten and
twenty per cent, and when the
corner men have sold as much
as they want, the bottom litter
ally drops out OF prices and
those who have purchased are
left sadly out of pocket if not
completely broke. If none ex-
cept the spectators suffered,
but little harm would be done,
but in addition to the specula-
tors, consumers who are COM
PEELED to buy at outside figures
are to a limited extent placed
under contribution. The board
of trade at Chicago has before
it scheme which, it is said,
would accomplish the object;
this is doubted. The Ohio leg
islature has recently passed a
bill forbidding the sale of grain
or other commodity, except for
delivery, under heavy penalty,
but it is regarded as probable
that a sharp Ohio lawyer will
drive a coach and six through
the measure whenever tested.
1t seems that there are some
things legislation cannot do. All
legislation against gambling has
proved a totol failure, so far as
stopping it is concerned. Laws
may be made against gambling
in grain futures, cotton futures,
or mining stocks, but opera
tons in them will go on all the
same. The difficulty is, that
the law could not define where
legitimate speculation shall and
outright gambling be held to be-
gin.

The Electoral Count.

Edmunds' electoral count bill
passed the senate unanimously.
Democrats and republicans sup
porting it and declaring it as
near perfect as could be expect
ed. As the bill has been re-
ported unanimously by the
house it will likely become a
law. The bill is a complete
vindication of the democratic
views on the subject of the
electoral count, and carries out,
to the fullest extent, the doc
trine of states rights, by max
ing each state the sole and abb
solute adjudicator of its elector-
al disputes, and authorizing it
to determine what are its cleo
toral votes. This is to be de-
cided by such state court as the
legislature or people shall
choose. The decision OF this
court is final, and congress can
not go behind it. Should the
state fail to select a court for
this purpose, or should two
rival courts claim to have juris-
diction of the matter, and two
sets of electoral votes come be-
fore congress, the two houses
pass upon these votes separate
ly; and that set of electors is
accepted and counted which
both houses agee on; and if the
two houses fail to agree, both
sets are rejected and the state
loses its vote.
The bill is an acceptable one,
because it leaves the whole
question in the hands of the
people of each state. Ii the
tribunals contemplated by this
bill are appointed, there is no
reason why any electoral dis
pute shall ever again come be-
fore congress to create national
disturbance and give rise to
electoral commissions. Had
the present bill been in force six
years ago the difficulties that
arose out of the case of LOUISE
ana and South Carolina would
have been impossible.

SHOULD the report of the ju-
dietary committee on the con-
stitutionality of the proposition
authorizing counties to levy a
tax Of IS cents on the one hun
dred dollars in the affirmative
prove to be constitutional all
efficiently in the way of reduc-
ing the state advalorem tax
will be removed, and counties
that are now crippled by levying
a twenty cents tax on the one
hundred dollars will be relieved,
as will also the municipal gov
ernments. The impression has
prevailed that the counties and
cities could only levy one half
of the amount levied by the
state. and that if the state re-
duced taxation they would be
compelled under the constitu-
ton to do SO too.

Uu-recouslructcd.

per possessed of most excellent
wind and in its issue of Satur-
day last it takes the BANNER to
task, in an editorial a column
and a quarter long, for having
said that party politics had
nothing to do with municipal
and county elections. 1t says
that one would suppose that
the BANNER editor had been
raised in some foreign cline and
was unacquainted with southern
republicanism. We would in
form the Herald that we are
thoroughly familiar with the
course of the republicans in the
south, having seen reconstruc-
ton in all its forms and shapes
including the well known cast
iron" oath that for years dis
franchised every democrat.
Those days are past, gone and
buried, the south has been re-
constructed and now governs
herself in her own way and with
her own people. Davis and
those under him who rode
rough-shod over Texas have
been virtually retired to private
life. The Herald cites radical
rule in the city administrations
OF Galveston, Houston, Austin
and other places; at the time
those big steals were going on
the radicals were in power;
now times have changed ard
men have changed with them;
that the people themselves are
tired of party management is,we
think, amply attested by the re-
suit Of the recent election at
Dallas. The day and time has
come when the people them
selves are the party and they
propose managing 1t in their
own good way, instead of allow
ing the party to manage them.
Where radical rule has been up
set in municipal and county af-
fairs it has only been accom-
plished by spontaneous move
ment on the part of all good
citizens who were determined to
have honest and efficient coun-
ty and city officials; this has
been done in counties where
the republicans were in the ma
jority. Intelligent republican
tax payers are as much inter
ested in an honest administra-
ton of local affairs as are any
other class who pay taxes, or
have any interest in the COM
munity IN which they live. For
our part we are unable to see
how the abrogation OF politics
and the selection of the best
men to Office is going to result
in the success of the republican
party or the ruin of the democ-
racy. If the people are unable
to manage their county and
municipal affairs without the
aid Of party, in the light OF past
experience we do not see how
the party is going ia help them.
The war is over, the republican
politicians have been shelved in
the south and the people are
happy and prosperous, each
man attending to his own bus
mess. What has been done
cannot be undone and we must
now take care of the present
and prepare for the future. 1t
certainly seems as if our highly
esteemed friend of the Herald
had gone back about fifteen
years and is totally oblivious of
the present.
