But congress does not rest CON
tent with this invasion of the power
of the state to regulate her rail
roads, nor with this usurpation Of
the right of the business interests
to manage the wires. It advances
further towards Capitalization with
the grand scheme of universal edu-
cation. An army of teachers
democratic or republican pedagogues
are going to relieve the parent of
duty, and the millennium of knowI-
edge is at hand. Does not every
sensible man at once see that the
same political considerations which
induce the appointment of partisans
to every ONCE III the gilt OF the eX-
listing administration, will impel
the political demagogue into every
school house established by COVER

So, then, the national railroad com.
mission, the national telegraph, and
the national school system, will en-
large powers of the general govern
ment, increase aIarmingly the army

Is it well for the country tina
these results should be effected

We do wonder # sherman thinks

We do wonder if Sherman thinks
the Cincinnati riot had any con
nection with politics, and if the
nation must pay the expenses Of an
investigating committee. If Ohio
can keep order within her borders
why cannot Virginia be trusted to
do the same? If Sherman counts
the effects of his own riots he will
find them overshadow any of our
visitations of the kind. and he will
find it hard indeed to justify his
campaigns in Virginia and Missis-
sippi unless he Immediately organi-
re one in his own state. But poll

The proposition to endow by pri-
vate subscription a home for the
disabled or destitute Confederate
soldiers will awake a responsive
throb in the breasts of every true
hearted son Of our common country.
To one section he is the embodiment
Of a 'Lost Cause" once our pride
and glory; now dearer still because
forever abandoned and doubly ours
because it lives only in the dream
land of memory and the haIlowed
realm peopled by the ghosts of illu-
sive hopes. To the other, the Con-
federate soldier is entitled to all the
sympathy due to defeat after a con-
Aict for principle bravely fought
and Afterwards for good faith proud
ly kept. No section of all our I'M
perial land will be stinted in offering.
for such a purpose.

That the citizens of our
town, irrespective Of party affilia-
tions could unite as they have done
on a common ticket where the can
didates claim suffrage on the ground
of merit alone, is a good omen for
the FIXTURE as well as a bond
Of fellowship for the present. For
years the party lines have been
strictly drawn, and merit has been
too little considered in politics.
Good government can only be Sc
cured when parties are compelled to
define clearly the planks Of the
platform on which they stand, and
the candidates are held to strict ac-
countability by an intelligent con
stituencv.

POLITICAL NEWS AND GOSSIP.

MAJOR John N RUNYAN, of Kosciusko coun-
ty who is candidate for Treasurer of State,
fought through the war and came out with one
eye He is well regarded in the northern part
of the State, and is a gentleman of good char
acter and ability.
W. 7. NOBLE, clerk of the Wayne Circuit
Court, and candidate for Auditor Of State is
being handsomely Endorsed by the press Of east
ern Indiana. The claim is made in his behalf
that Wayne county has had no candida on the
State ticket, except for judge, since Governor
Morton was elected, in 1860
JUDGE r. S. TAYLOR, of Fort Wayne, who is
very popular among Republicans of northern
Indiana is mentioned as candidate FOR Gov
ernor on the Republican ticket. 1t is not known
| that he desires the nomination, or that he would
allow the use of his name before the convention.
| but the expressions in his favor are a deserved
! tribute to his eminent fitness and character
THE proportions which the boom" for R.
r. Shiel, of this county, as candidate for
Treasurer of State, has reached are simply CO.
lossal. Mr. Shel has the Endorsement of many
of the leading papers in alquarters of the State.
He is an enthusiastic, hard working Irish Repub-
| lican, always has been, and has been of much
! strength to the party in this city and county.
| Hon. JOSEPH q. CANNON, of Danville who
has represented the Fourteenth congressional dis
trict Of Illinois in the House of Representatives
for the past twelve years. is candidate for re-
election. The wisdom of retaining good repre-
sentative has been so often urged by the Journal
that it is as a twice-told tale. man of the
ability and experience of Mr.. Cannon must of
necessity be the best representative district
can have. He has position, influence, and
knowledge of detail that are of the
| greatest value. Mr. Cannon is an Indanian,
and the people over here feel just pride III the
ability with which he has maintained himself,
and in the constantly growing esteem in which
he is held by his constituents. Mr.. Cannon's
name has been mentioned in connection with
the governorship, but he will not be candidate
for that Office now, preferring to retain his seat

to subserve; it must be an honest
exponent of the best interests of the
people in order to maintain itself 1t is sim
pie business proposition, if newspaper man
ayers were actuated by no higher motive, for
the press to try and find out the right side Of
public questions, and to advocate that side
with the best ability it has. Men who sheer
at the public press do only themselves dis
credit. There is no censorship of the public
press in the United States, and there will not
be. Not the highest official in the govern
ment nor the lowest, has power to put pad
lock upon the mouth of the newspaper press.
The public acts of public men are proper sub
jects for criticism, and the newspaper press
will be cowardly and worthless whenever it
sits silent because to utter its just opinions
would not be satisfactory to somebody.

THE NEED OF RELIEF,

The responses to the appeals for relief are
coming in with gratifying promptness, and in
amounts that promise to swell the fund to
fully $4,000 by the close of the week. But
thus far the expenditures have necessarily
been in excess of the receipts, and there need
be no fear that the necessity will not at all
times be greater than the ability to meet it.
It is impossible to exaggerate the extent or
nature of the damage and distress. The i'm
preston was created at the first that the flood
results would not be 80 serious as then, because
the people had better prepared to meet the ad-
vancing waters. But the unprecedented and
unexpected rise has utterly overthrown all cal
culations and rendered futile all precautions
The destruction has been and will be i'm
mense, while the suffering must be Of the
severest character With water, and gloom
and cold as their only companions, scores of
thousands of men, women and children cry
for help They have no bread to eat save
such as comes to them from charity. They
have no clothes to warm them save such as are
sent to them. Homes gone, houses destroyed,
business washed away in the awful food,
leaden skies and bitter winds, they have no
recourse but prayer and no reliance but in
the human agents of Divine providence. No
man, woman, or child should miss the present
duty, Comfort and luxury cannot be en-
ioyed unless out of the abundance something
is given to the thousands who suffer in the
grip of a calamity stronger than any human
power, and against which human foresight was
but mockery.

THE State prosecutor of Missouri having
been handicapped in his efforts to convict
Frank James by the Vaccinations of those
higher in authority, that distinguished per-
sonage is temporarily at large. On being in
terviewed as to what he thought of his pros
poets in Alabama and Minnesota, he remarked
plaintively
II have no fear whatever of the result, if
can stand the Jail confinement The only
thing 1 dread is being confined in some bad,
unhealthy place. Jails are about on level,
though, nearly everywhere"
The Governor of Missouri should see that
that this matter is looked after If the jails
in which James is likely to be ledger are not
properly drained and ventilated, some first
class hotel should be permitted to have the
honor of entertaining him. Thus is crime
punished

COLONEL CAMPBELL late chief of the st.
Louis police force is now an ordinary patrol
man. The police commissioners reduced him
to the ranks because he was not in harmony
with the influential gamblers. The saloon
keepers, the gamblers, and the violators of
law generally, seem to be gradually gaining
control of city governments everywhere
This will go on until the law-abiding citizens
rise in their might, and then these people will
think Java earthquake has struck them, or

thereby to keep the public back from facts
that cannot be defended The bloody shirt
will be likely to be waved so long as bloody
corpses are thrown into the face of the nation
by Democratic murderers.
The Republican party has no objection to
the closest scrutiny into murder and violence
in any part of the country. If the Graphic, OF
any other paper or person, imagines that the
crimes now so frequent in Long Island have
need of federal attention, the Journal is will
ing that it should be given. But the journal
is not stupid enough to fail to catch the sig
nifcance of the Graphic's sheer, and only asks
of Virginia and Mississippi what would be re-
quired of Indiana. Democratic politicians
may dissemble as they please, the fact remains
that half dozen men were murdered at Dan
vile without offending public peace and quiet
and a prominent citizen of Hazlehurst was as
sassinated Just as he had cast his ballot, and
his murderer not only escaped investigation,
but his fellow Democrats publicly Endorsed the
crime and formally gave notice to the widow
and orphans of the murdered man that they
or their relatives would not be allowed to par
ticipate in politics The Graphic will not dare
say that the Journal has stated anything but
what is known by everybody concerning the
assassination of W. P. Matthews, of Copiah
county, Miss Neither will it deny that his
assassin was honored for his deed by being
elected to an Office of trust. The same thing
attempted in Indiana against a Democrat
would give the State to that party by 100, 900
majority

THE Seymour Daily Business, live and
enterprising Republican paper in the capital
of Jackson county, has opened bank of de-
post for the soldiers monument in its Office,
into which the public is invited to make con
tributons of any amount, the limit being
placed so low that no child is barred from the
pleasure of aiding in this patriotic movement
The result is that at least fifty dollars will be
received from this source. The same method
pursued generally throughout the State would
result in the accumulation of large sum of
money.

BLOODY SHIRTS AND BLOODY coRpsEs.


In answer to the New York Graphic's sheer
ing suggestion that while Senate committee
was investigating it might look into the Long
Island outrages, the journal again explained
the difference between the sporadic murders
on Long Island and those deliberately planned
against Southern Republicans The Journal
wishes to repeat and to emphasize what even
the Graphic cannot fail to recognize as the
truth: ''The murders in the South which it
is proposed to investigate are not murders for
lust, or for robbery, or for vengeance, but they
are murders committed by and in the name of
political necessity; murders Endorsed by the
authorities murders for the punishment of
which not only is no effort made, but the per-
petratOrs are honored and rewarded" There
is not an intelligent man anywhere not abso-
lutely drowned in prejudice or grown imbecile
| in the attempt to be Impartial, and to placate
and honey the implacable Democrats South,
but knows as well as he can know anything
that Republicans and Independents have been
murdered in that section because they dared
| be other than Democrats.
The Graphic makes what it possibly consid-
ers a satisfactory reply by denying generally,
without specifying, excepting the cases testi-
fed to by Eliza Pinkston eight years ago, and
makes scapegoat of Senator Malone for the
Danville massacre But the incubus of guilt
and crime cannot be shaken off so
easily. There are literally hundreds of
best of reasons, that half-score of colored
Republicans were murdered at Danvie last
| November in order to carry Virginia for the
opposition. If Senator Malone was at the
bottom of that slaughter let investigation
make it plain, and no one will be quicker to
condemn him than will Northern Republicans.
If a dozen Democrats were to be killed in one
night in Indianapolis or in New York city
somebody would be held to answer, and either
community would be quick to invite the com
pletest inquiry No honorable community
could stand out against it. Will the Graphic
please state what if anything was done to
those who did the killing at DanvilleG If no.
body was to blame, why charge it to Mahonel
If Malone was the instigator, why not put the
proof before the people?
The Graphic is shrewd enough and dis
honest enough to ignore the assassination at
Hazlehurst, Miss, which was not only the
open work of Democrat, but was Endorsed by
meeting of Democrats, who passed resolutions
to that effect, and to the further effect
that the sons and brothers of the murdered
man must not take part in the politics of
| Copiah county. These resolutions were sent
to the widow and sons of the man who was
murdered at the polls just after he had cast a
vote in defiance of the warning of Democrats.
No attempt was made to hide or to palliate the
crime. It was made popular as "a political
necessity" VIVA. does it mean, that anarchy
and assassination dare not be investigated
without Northern representatives of Southern
cut throats flying the fbloody shirt" hoping

HIRAM DALEY. of Columbus, o., tried the
emotional insanity dodge when charged with
having stolen a pair of gloves, but the judge
sentenced him just the same. Daley has
served eight years in different penitentiares
for stealing horses. He will yet live to learn
that emotional insanity" is genuine only
when resorted to by murderers. If he had
been rich, his last offense would have been set
down as kleptomania. He should make it a
point to get rich before further prosecuting
his business.
