Democratic leader. Ex-Governor Horatio
Seymour, who is now seventy two years of
age. In the course of the interview Cover
nor Seymour remarked: "I feel assured that
the Democratic party has it in its power to
regain its supremacy in the State and in the
country. 1t may be said that its organiza-
ton is bad, and so it is. But the Republi-
can party is in much worse state, and that
party is without the power to rehabilitate
itself 1t can take no step backward. 1t is
impelled forward 10y its own weight to dis

toward Capitalization, and the machinery of

sequence to the hap-hazard character of leg

which controls the dominant party and
shapes public affairs The Republican party
in all matters has drifted away from the
Constitutional methods in the transaction
of business. Having sought to "centralize
everything, it is overwhelmed by the gigan-
tic superstructure of corruption it has
reared" The remedy is to be found in a
return to the wise and conservative ways
of the Constitution and under these cir
cumstances the Governor said:
The Democratic party has the opportunity to
win great victory by standing Up for constitu-

FITZ JOHN PORTER.
The Majority and Minority Reports on His
Petition for Relief.

Peuuon for Relief.
WASHINGTON, May 31.-The vote in the
Senate Military Committee to-day, on the
question of favorably reporting Sewell's bill
tor the relief of Fitz John Porter was as
follows:
1eas-Messrs Sewell, Cockrell, Maxey, Grover
Nays-Messrs. Logan and Cameron Of Pennsyl-
vania
Harrison and Hawley were absent. Cameron Is
known to agree with the conclusion of the major
1ty OF the Committee. General Logan expects his
minority report to be approved by Hawley and
Harrison, and says General Hawley has informed
him he is in accord with its main proposition.
The majority report which accompanies the bill
ior the relief OF F1iz John Porter recies the hisl
tory OF the case, Court Martial and subsequent
Board of Review, and alludes TO the memorial of
General Porter heretofore publisheo). which
as follows: 'aThe action of President IrthnS

cation OF General Porter for restoration to the
Army from. the objection that Congress would be
revising the sentence nf Court Martial Such is
not now the case; So much OF the sentence as
the President had power to act upon, having been
by MIN RENTED. II now remains for Congress to
perform that act OF justice which the report of
me Board emphatieally recommends in the fol-
lowing language: Having thus given the reasons
for our conclusions, we have the honor to report
in accordance with Presidents order, that in our
opinion justice requires at his hands such action
as may be necessary to an0ul and set aside the
findings and sentence of the Courts Martial
in the case, of Major General Fih John
Porter, and to restore him TO the
position of which that sentence deprived him.
such restoration to take effect from the date of his
dismissal from the service. The Committee are
of the opinion that the report of said Board ex-
hausted the subject. and that Fitz John Porter
should be. as recommended by said Board, re-
stored to service and report the bill for that pur
pose"
Seweils bill authorizes the appointment of
Fiz John Porter 10 the position of colonel in the
Army, with the same grade and rank held by him
at the time of dismissal from the Army: provided
he shall receive no pay. compensation or allow
ance whatsoever for the time intervening between
his dismissal from service and his appointment

stronger. The masses prefer TO keep political af-
fairs under their own eyes, and have no sympa-
thy with Capitalization. The growth of inter
course between the different sections and the in
crease of agricultural aud commercial interests
have created conservative intelligent interest
which viii rebuke all purposes and passions that
threaten peace and harmony. I have no doubt
of the success of the Democratic party and of the
triumph of its principles.
Governor Seymour expresses the -convic-
ton that with good ticket in the State of
New York 100000 voters not usually Demo
cratic would vote with the Democrats at the
next election in that State, and added: There
are wise and conservative Republicans who
look with distrust on the demoralizing tend
sncy of affairs at Washington, andwho, plac-
ing patriotism above party, will join US in
the attempt to return to the simplicity which
marked legislation in the early days of the
country" Such is the view of Democratic
statesman, in whose opinions men of all par
ties have confidence.

THE New York Tribune's financial review says:

effects OF high prices aud disorganizatiOn OF labor.
The exchanges at New York last week were but
little over half those of the corresponding week
last year, and though part OF the decrease was
due 70 sJagnatiOn at the Stock Exchange, the
clearings not arising from such business were
more than One-third smaller than those of Atbe

amount OF payments has appeared every week

Those buslnt IS men OF indianapolis who
gathered together just before the last Presl-
dental election and declared that General
HancOcks election would ruin the business
prospects of the country, might find some
thing to think about in the foregoing ex-
tract, and in the general fear that we are
upon the eve of business depression and
hard times.

THE American Baptist Publication Society
reports that for the last year it printed $50,
5S9,69S pages, an excess Of 50, 46S, sos over
any previous year. The sales amounted to
1897, 224. The Bible Committees distributed
in forty-ive States 1865 Bibles. Various
missionaries during the year sold ii, 222
Bibles and Testaments. Expenses of the
year, S1O7, 256; receipts. $114381. If print
ing can keep religious denomination prom

to enjoy that felicity.

ment must go before the people. if the next
Legislature agrees TO it, and all the "dodg-
lsg'' until the crack of doom can not stay
it. Therefore, tell your Representatives
and Senators what 10 do. The lodging is
all on the Republican side. They refuse to
make any declaration outside of wish to
submit it to the people. In this they are
very safe, as the Constitution has settled the
question of submission.

THE question of submitting the prohibition
clause 10 the people stands on different f0unoa-
ton from other amendments which have hereto
fore been submitted to the people of Indiana IN
this that As 600 adult persons petitoaed the Last
Legislature 10 send this amendment TO the people
to be voted upon, aud the action OF the last Legis
that petition mostly. That basis still remains
until the final action OF the Legislature has been
completed in the premises.-New Albany Public
Press.
A petition then, friend Gwin. with As, 900
names, you think carries enough dynamite
to blow up a plain provision of the Constitu-
ton. We hope you understand that the
Constitution alone submits" amendments
to the people, and then only after
two successive Legislatures have passed
favorably upon them, but from the
foregoing extract we are afraid that you are
not clear upon the point. You evidently
think that the last Legislature had the
power to submit the prohibitory amend
ment 1t simply agreed to it. The next
Legislature must also "agree" to it before it
can go to the people. If it does not agree"
then it has no power to submit it. Casty
eye over the following provision of the State
Constitution. and you will find that As, 900
names to a petition to submit an amend
ment to the people can not drag the amend
ment out of its usual channel as fixed by
the Constitution. That instrument says:
Any amendment or amendments to the Consti-
tuition may be proposed in either branch Of the
6 eneral Assembly and, if the same shall be
agreed to by majority of the members elected to
each of the two Houses such proposed amend
ment or amendments shall, with the yeas and
nays thereon, be entered on their journals
and referred TO the General Assembly TO be
the General Assembly so next chosen, such pro
posed amendment or amendments shall be agreed
10 by a majority of all the members elected to
each House, then it shall be the duty of the Gen.
eral Assembly to submit such amendment or
amendments TO the electors of the State; and if
majority of said electors shall ratify the same |
such amendment or amendments shall become
part of this Constitution.

Here we have it again. Republican Of

one knows but Republican officials them
selves the extent of the robberies. The
stolen plates have been in the hands OF
counterfeiters for a long time, and
although ii is announced from
Washington that Secretary Folger is
kicking up a big dust in the way
of an investigation, the labors of that gen.
tleman have no higher significance than to
quiet the nerves of taxpayers who are COM
PEELED to furnish the money to cancel the
counterfeit bonds. To tell the whole truth
would be to still further damage the Re-
publican party, since Republican officials
are responsible for the stealing of the plates
upon which the bonds were printed. To
escape detection further mutilation Of the
