AID TO RAILROADS.
CD. b. Harris of yankton moved to
reconsider the vote by which section 3
of the report of the committee on state.
county and municipal Indebtedness
was carried. He explained that the
section as adopted would prevent cities
from voting aid to railroads, and that
he desired to reconsider in order to
he able to move an amendment ut the
proper time.
q. G. Moody of Lawrence said the
question should not be considered to-
night, as many members were absent.
He was opposed to granting aid to cor
pOrations, and denounced such aid as Il
robbery of private citizens.
Mr.. Harris explained that his motive
was not to bring the amendment be-
fore the convention at this time.
5. w. Duncan of Brule moved

LET THE BURDEN BE DISCARDED.

While it has been charged that the
nomination of Robt. M. McLane, in
Maryland, was an i'll adviced selection
THE STATESMAN is inclined, even at
this distance, to venture the assertion
that 80 mistake has been made. He
is man of large experience in public
affairs, has been in the peoples harness
in one or another capacity for forty
years, and therefore ought to know
public necessities and wants as well as
any man in the commonwealth,
Judging by his address of acceptance
it may be assumed that he is no nov
ice as to the political history of the
country, and it gives evidence that he
does not propose to hesitate in the
least in attacking and suppressing po-
litical crimes to which the people have
too often been subjected. 1t is in this
manner that he arraigns the Repub-
lican party:
81 want every Democrat in the
state to give me his assistance, whilst
/ overcome this monstrous combina-
tion of men known to-day as the Re
publican party. 1 say this monstrous
combination of men, and all history
in America shows no parallel to it.
Twenty years ago to save the life of
the nation, everything was permitted.
There were $500 O00, 600 collected from
the people at a cost of $4,000 OOO-a
corrupt cost, an acknowledged fact,
acknowledged by the govern
ment, and acknowledged by
the official report of the Republican
congress made to the Republican gov
eminent that out of $500, 100000

A CHICAGO paper, commenting on
the talk in Southern papers about Civ
ing the South place on the national
Democratic ticket, says ut may be
also that the Southern Democrats not
only regard this matter of taking con-
troll of affairs again as the resump-
ton of proprietary right, Temporal
rily disturbed, but as a necessity to
save the party from disruption at the
hands of a set OF wrangling incompe-
tents" The paper making the above
comment is hostile to the Democratic
party, but it nevertheless hints at the
truth pretty closely in suggesting that
the Southern leaders are better quail
fled to manage the party than the
leaders of the North. THE STATES
MAN, in zealously advocating the pro-
priety of Southern Democrats MAX
ing their influence felt in shaping the
destiny and purposes of the Demo-
cratic party, has adhered persistently
to the doctrine that Southern Demo-
cratic sentiment is necessary for in
fusing into the party such principles
as will secure good government, and
such nerve as will enforce it. There
is a pure element in the party in the
Northern States that needs Southern
help to make the Democracy of the
country what it was many years ago.

Gov. BUTLER said in an interview,
few days ago, that the mission of
the Republican party is ended, and
that it has nothing to live for. I'm

mistake within the next year, a DEM
ocratic president will be elected. lie

ment. Mcdonald thinks he has the
prize slowed away in his satchel, but
that we could not afford to risk In
diana by any quarrel between the
Hendricks and Mcdonald factions.
The Holman boom, he thought, was
all noise. But the strangest thing of
the whole interview was, that he did
not even once toot the Butler horn.

The Chicago Tribune doesn't favor
appropriating money directly from the
federal treasury to support common
schools in the different states. 1t has,
however. scheme of it's own for pro-
noting education. 1t says: "There
is but one plan for extending govern
ment aid to the public school system
of this country, which will command
popular support, and that is, to assure
the permanency of the whisky tax
by applying the revenue there
from to the maintenance and
extension of the public
school system, and at the same time
to require from every'state an addi-
tional expenditure of its own money
for the same purpose, and non-dis-
elimination as to race and color as
conditions precedent to the enjoy
ment of government aid. This plan
would assure a fair and impartial dis
tribution among the entire people of
a fund contributed to education by
the drinking classes. The revenue
raised in this way would be no bur
den upon the people, not even upon
the consumers of whisky, and its use
for educational purposes would COM
pensate to some extent for the evils
necessarily incident to the federation
of the liquor traffic" The PROPOSE
ton is not bad one, and when in
ternal revenues are not necessary for
expenses of government. as they will
not be when we have import duties
imposed alone for purposes of gov
eminent, it may be well enough to
make public evil maintain public
good.

THE Philadelphia Times, in motto.
ing business mems day at Louisville
says:
The great interests of North and
South are now no longer divided by
sectional hatreds and sectional jeal-
ousies. The war and its issues belong
to the past. The South, devastated
by war, and still more by reconstruc-
ton mlsgovernment, is rapidly rising
up from her long paralysis, and her
business interests now beat in unison
with the business interests of the
whole country. The recent
Atlanta exposition was the
beginning of the free inter-
mir Cling of Northern and Southern
industry, ingenuity and enterprise in
the heart of the South, and now the
Louisville Exposition has achieved a
memorable success not only as an en-
terprise, but in bringing more closely
together the business chords of the
two sections. Let the business men
of the North be we'll represented at
Louisville on the 4th of October, and
Philadelphia, the city of homes and
skilled labor, should be foremost in
contributing to the magnitude and
usefulness of the occasion.
This paragraph gives food for much
profitable thought. 1t should make
Texans ashamed that the State of
Texas is not represented at the great
exhibition, and it may teach US to I'M
derst and the value of these great expo
SitionS. Since Texas has not presented
her attractions to the world at PhilS-
delphia, or at Atlanta or at Louisville,
why shall not we look forward to a
day when the world will come
here to see Texas in its grandeur.
Let us have great exhibition
in the semi-centennial year of Texas
independence, and in the mean time
let the people of Austin zealously
guard the Capital State Fair, so as to
merge it into this great exposition.

DUN's commercial agency predicts
prosperous condition of trade during
the fall season. 1t is certainly hard
to discover any good reason for hold
ing a different view. The crops are
now safe and are reasonably good,
ard there is Il risk demand abroad
for our surplus products, while there
has been no mania of speculation at
home to unsettle production and eX-
change. If supply has somewhat out
run demand in few branches of in
dustry the rapid growth of the coun-
try will tend to correct the derange-
ment by steadily enlarging the market
for products, and in the meantime the
new capital seeking openings for in
vestment will find other and more
profitable fields. The fundamental
conditions on which prosperity de-
ponds appear to be, in the main, IA
vorable; and if this be true as to the
country at large, there is no good rea-
son just now why it should not be
equally true of Texas, and especially
of this community, where so many
things combine to make the greatest
prosperity.

extraordinary statement to make
in the face of free and intelligent

which the chiefs of the Republican

of the United States. Non doubts
it; every man excuses it; every man
regrets it; every Republican as well
as every Democrat regrets that the
country could be brought to so low a
pitch. So great is the patron
age of this government that
although we stand to-day with
an acknowledged majority we can not
install president. In the election of
1876 Tilden had over 100000 more
votes than Hayes, and yet Hayes was
president. In the election of 1880
when it came to Hancock rather than

PROF. N0RDENSKJOLD has sent
back a most interesting report upon
his expedition toward the polar re-
gions. The expedition started from
Gottenburg last May, being fitted out
at the expense of the king of Sweden.
1t was meant to penetrate further
north, if possible, than any previous
explorers had succeeded in doing, and
GA the way to make such scientific in
Vestigations and experiments as
should compensate for the expense
and the heroism of the undertaking.
The facts, SO far received, tracing the
expedition inland, to point in Green
land further than any European had
hitherto penetrated, and giving an ac-
count of some of the observations
made, go to show the probability that
we Of the temperate lands shall have
to look to such Northland men as
NoIdenskjold for our future informa-
ton touching polar country. They
are already in measure acclimated,
and discovery and endurance, as one
puts it, being in their blood, the re-
suits of the expedition may be looked
forward to with some degree Of hope.
