Principle Rather Than Policy.
For soma months INST L has heon

For Fomo months past it has been
| painfully apparent that the Atlanta
Constitution has been ready to sac
rifce everything for the sake of par
| ~ success. In Sundays issue it ad-
mits that is has nothing to conceal,
and very frankly states, that the
most important issue now before the
country is democratic success. Long
since, tie Constitution surrendered
It's views upon the tariff issue because
these views, as it said, stood in the
way Of party success and, simuIta-
neously, threw down Mr.. Carlisle aud
took UP Mr.. Randall for the Speak
ership, not that The latter was the
better man, or the better exponent of
the Constitutions views, but because
1t was matter of party policy to do
50. It's files are not wanting in evil
Ience to convict it Of an extraordina-
~ effort to convince the public that
there Is nothing OF 50 much impor-
tance right now to the country as
democratic success. The CoAstitu
ton Will pardon US, for we certainly
do not mean to offend SO good
paper, but it is just such shutting as
this that invites defeat. Instead Of
making party and every thing else
subordinate 10 princi PIE, tue Consti-
tuition insists upon making principle
subordinate to party success. The
Journal would, a thousand times,
rather see the democratic party de-
featod and sunk for ever than TO see it
sacrifice a solitary principle in order
to succeed. If ths democratic party
believes that the tariff should be
revised, then, let the party stand up
on that issue. If it believes in other
reformatory measures, let those meas
ures be indicated in its party'platform.
Let the issue be sqaarely made and
squarely met. Ii the principles Of
the democratic party will not carry it
through TO success, then, it ought not
to succeed. No party is worthy of
success that is afraid to enunciate, in
advance. its honest sentiments.

"Mr, O. r. Harris, of Marion coun-
ty, came into town Tuesday evening
bringing five bales OF cotton and thir-
ty bushels of chufers He says the
chuters brought more money than
the cotton. They sold readily at S.
a bushel. He has been planting chu-
fers eight years and has not, in the
whole time, fed one hundred bushels
of corn to his hogs. He raised his
own hogs, fed them plentifuly and
fattenel them on chufers alone.
Mr.. Harris says he don't know how
much chuters will make to the acre,
but Prof. Grubbs, of Weston, says
they will make thousand bushels. -

Sons of Farmers.

The Dirigo Rural, of Bangor
Maine, thinks that because one is a
farmers son is no reason why he
should be uneducated and untutored
80 far below his city compeers as to
be considered unworthy Of marked
distinction or personal address. But.
on the other hand, it is necessary in
this age that he should be equally
educated to any commerce al class,
and the demands Of as great a busi-
ness and as good society. The far
mars son may not appear 50 hand
some as the merchants son, in his
Oscar Wilde hat and his diamond
vest charms, which are in most cases
all the charms they possess, or may
not bow in accordance with the rules
OF etiquette, or Zip his hat with such
precision, but frequently the brain
that underlies the broad brimmed
hat Of the farmers son will contain
more culture and valuable matter
than the full regalia Of the merchants
son. But there are exceptionS-we
have instances of vice versa, and We
are the victims Of ignorance at on,
own hands III such cases7 We are
surrounded with decided ADVANTAGES
when compared with those of our
fathers and our mothers, and it is
mainly onr own fault if VS. do not at.
tam moderate education, or possess
a few standard books of well approx
ed authors. AS we live in an ape Of
schools and literature, we are en-.
abled, with newspapers, books and
magazines, to obtain vast deal of
knowledge without any great appli
cation or self-denial on our part
Our best literature is published with.
in the reach of all whose surplus dol.
dars are not in the transient oratG.
cation of this life. The facts are
simply these: We don't appreciate
our privileges, and If some of rs had
access to the Boston library of POO.
O0o volumes, we would fail to GRASP
the golden treasury of informant, u
that such library contains.

A Tfue Story.

A resident f a Montana town was
ont hunting recently, and rs storm
came mp he or pit ilto hollow log
+ + shelter. After the storm abatt d
he endcavored to crawl out, but found
that the log had swelled so that it
was impossible to make exit He
end favored to com }ress himself as
much as possible bat with Indifferent
sncc' SIS. He thought of all the ms n
things he had ever done, until finally
his mind reverted to the. fact that,
instead Of subscribing for his local
paper, he wab in the habit of borrc W
lag them from his neighbors and thus
de franding the printer. On this he
said that he felt so small that he slip
ped out Of the log without an effort.
Moral: Don't sponge from your
friends the local paper, but subscribe
like a man.

Senator Brown and M0rmonism

How many of the would be critics
OF Senator Brown have taken the
time and pains to read his speech
upon the Mormon question
Some have even dared to insinuate
that Senator Brown had become the
apologist Of Polysamy. Others, ad-
uniting his opposition to the practi-
ces Of polygany, assert that he has
become the advocate Of sending ms
slonaries among the mormons to CON
vert them 10 the methods and prac-
tees Of the Christian religion. The
truth Is, the intention OF Senator
Browns speech was only to show
the unconstitutionality of the Ed
mund's act, and in this we think he
succeeded. 1t Is also true that Sen
ator Brow. suggests, in the conclu-
sion OF his speech, the propriely OF
sending missionaries among the Nor
mons as one of the means 10y which
mormonism may be subdued, bat 1t
can not be said, truly, that Senator
Brown is the advocate Of this partic-
ular theory to the exclusion OF all
others. He also suggests other the
Dries for instance, the sending OF
colony OF $4,000 New Englanders
among the Mormons, to settle, as a
means of subduing the practices OF
polygamy. AS is usually to case,
the Senator has been very wildly
miorepresented, and all, too, because
too many newspaper editors rely
upon others to do their reading and
thinking for them. 1t is true that
Senator Brown is not infallible, but
it is always safest TO know the whole
truth before condemning any one.
Senator Brown regards mormonism
as great crime--a stencil in the
rostrils of American civilization
but the question with him is, as it
should be with every honest man,
| how TO get rid OF it without violating
The terms OF the constitution. In
his late speech, he shows, very clear
/ ly, that the Edmuud's act violates
the constitution in several very i'm
portant particulars. Is not Senator
Brown right in wishing to conform
the acts OF congress to the prescribed
terms OF the constitution Certainly,
no one will condemn the Senator for
an honest effort TO put down uncou-
stitutionGl legislation? Then why all
| this hue and cry against the Senator ?
Is lac i'll favor Of poiygamy? No l.
| he in favor Of mormonism? No.
! Then what las the Senator done
Absolutely nothing, but shown as
clearly as the Moons days sun that
the Edmund 5 act is unconstitutional ;
and, for this, he has been misrepre-
sented, 8landerel and traduced, by
men, too, vino have never given the
matter sufficient thought to read
what the Senator did do and say
The question OF mormonism is not a
new one. 1t Las engaged the atten-
ton of congress for years, and our
wisest statesmen have been troubled
to know what to do with it.

ana Insulting speech.
Special to The Constitution.

Special to The Constitution.
Washington, january 25.-Recent
aAinSs OF the executive session, i'll
which 0Ir. Speer's continuation wa,
considered. prove it to have been
marked by sucn bitterness as has not
been known in that body in q long
time. Dir. Ednunl,s left the chair,
and made speech for the confnna-
ton. lie attacked the southern peo-
pie most bitterly, and said it was i'm
possible for an Official to do his duty
among them without being the vic
tim of obloquy AMI Insult. Mr..
Speer had served well, and such was
his record. He regarded the attack
of Ioumans on Speer, in Columbia,
as brutal, and not believing it posi-
BILE that federal Judge would allow
the government attorney to be so
insulled, he wrote to the judge and
asked il the occurrence had been cor
rectIy reported. The Judge replied
that it had Mr.. L lmunds tLen contin-
ued such a TRADE against the south
as charac.erlz the first year in con
gress after tie war.
Mr.. Butler replied to him, declar-
ing that no such feelings'as he spoke
of existed in the south. Fl O opposed
Mr.. Speer because he honestly
thought him unfit in character or le
gal attainments to be district attor-
ney,
NJ. Beck said the Office was the
price paid to Speer for his political
9-artion.
SENATOR LAMAa'S ATTACK ON EDMUNDs.
The sensation of the session was oc-
casioned by Mr.. Lamar's scathingre
| ply to Mr. Edmunds. He said Mr..
Edmunds had stated what he knew
to be false, and had willingly SLAM
dered the people of the south. He
could not have had any other inten-
ton than to insult every southern
man on the floor.
ooh, mol" exclaimed Mr.. Ed
munds.
Mr.. Lamar continued: "Well, in
spite Of the disclaimer Of the senator,
[ must adhere to my declaration that
his extraordinary speech at the begin
ming Of this debate could have no
other purpose than a desire to affrout
the southern members Of the senate
and hold them up to the view of the
senators as unblushing defenders Of
a POLITICAL policy than which no worse
can be conceived of in this or any
other country [ positively believe
that his intention was to insult, indi-
vidually and collectively, every south
ern senator on the floor, and so far as
l AIN personally concerned, I must
say to the senator that he had sue
ceeded."
In conclusion be said he would
vote fol Spoer because a worse man
might be nominated fine were reject
ed the vote was AZ to 10. Sena
tor Lamar and Elmunds are reticent
as to all that happened in the execu-
tive session, but the foregoing is
believed to be the substance Of what
happened between TEEN.

A Sober Talk with Our Farmers

We propose for a little while to
talk, especially, with tie farmer. Tc
begin, we admit, that the patience
and fortitude of the farmers have
been, of lac, nightly tried
and, no doubt, many o;
them are feeling gloomy aud
respondent. We have reference to
the unparalleled difficulties of obtain
ing a stand Of oats. Many of our
farmers have soWn and re-sown, and.
yet, there is little prospects OF any
thing like perfect stand. Not only
this, but many have used up all the
seed they had saved, not anticipating
the serious consequences they have
sustained from tue nlrd freezes. I'M
der these circumstances, the question
very naturally arises, what is best to
be done 1t is this that We want to
talk about. In no event will lido for =
farmer to despair Of sowing altogeth-
CT. Whether he has the seed or not,
he should hasten 10 make preparation,
to SOW. If be hasn't got the seed,
then, he should make arrangements
to bay, and buy at once. Seed,oats
are cheap, and almost any farmer can
get them readily at fifty cents bush
el. In many instances one neighbor
can borrow from another, anal flhis
can't oe done, they can be procured
almost anywhere for fifty cents
bashel. The thing is to SOW, and to
SOW at any and all hazards. The
oat crop is one that our farmers can
not afford to neglect. 1t is just as
impor tant in this country to seed
o ats as it is to plant and cultivate
corn, and, Of the two crops, the oat
crop is cheapest and, therefore, the
more profitable. No farmer should
hesitate a moment as to the course to
be pursued. The trdth is, there is
but one thing to be done, and that
is to SOW oats. But just here we
are met with this objection One far
mer will say" I am, already, behind
With my work and if stop now to
SOW eats III never catch up in the
world But, my friend, your fears
groundless, and even if you are be-
hind, it will pay better than anything
else that you can do, to stop every
thing and SOW more oats. While it
is true that corn land should be pre-
pared and planted as early as posi-
BILE, there is no reason why our far
mers should be in such hurry 10
get to their cotton land and, as be-
tween an oat AMI corn crop, we should
always prefer to neglect the latter if
either had to be neglected. But
there is no reason why either should
he neglected. There is plenty Of
time to attend to both. As for cot
ton. if this crop is not planted before
the first of May, oil the better for
the farmer. He not only saves labor
but will make better crop of cotton.
But under no circumstances, should
our farmers neglect the sowing of a
full acreage Of spring oats, and the
time 10 SOW spring oats is now fully
at hand.
The Dawson journal., 1884-01-31

With corn in the crib and more
meet saved than they have had in their
smoke-houses at any one time before
since the war, there is no reason why
our farmers should not be in good
spirits. Notwithstanding the short
cotton crop, they are IN much better
condition than they were thrse or
four years ago, when their cribs and
smokehouses were empty and they
had to buy corn at 1925 per bushel,
and meat at prices equally as ruinons.
AltogeiAer the people of this section
are not so bad off as has been pictur-
ed, or as some still contend they are.

Our senior senator, Joseph E.
Brown, has been made the subject
again, of considerable and severe
criticism. 1t appears that the Sena-
tors offense this time grows out of
his position, in congress, upon the
policy of dealing with the Mormons.
It IS charged that the Senator is not
in favor of summary methods but
thinks The best plan of getting rid of
the Mormons in this country is by
means OF moral coaxing. 1t can not
be denied that this polygamous ques.
ton is one difficult of solution. and
since the Edmunds bill is conceded
to be failure, and Senator Browns
suggestions fail to meet with public
approval, it remains for some one of
the many directors to suggest the
remedy,
The Dawson journal., 1884-01-31

A very serious error that many
newspapers have fallen into, it seems
to us, is that of expressing opinions
too hastily. It is the fashion with
most newspapers, and very good
one, too, to run what they call col
umn of editorial notes." and they
seem to vie with each other as to
which shall be first in making edito-
rial comment upon leading pull lie
questions and public men. This de-
sire to be considered foremost in the
work, often leads 20 unfounded and
nuwise expression Of opinion. In
deed, there is TOO great tendency
upon the part Of the country press
to have its sentiment moulded and
chrystalizea by the expressions Of
the daily and city press. Men Of
mind, however, are apt to DO their
own reading and their own thinking.
