The South and the Democratic Party

Macon Democrat (Dem.)
The 1853 electoral votes of the South
ern States have been set aside as
assured for the Democratic Presiden.
tial ticket. The representatives of
these l53 electoral votes in the Ma
tional Democratic Convention were
set aside, just as the electoral votes
are. That had been manipulated by
the machine politicians of New York
up to the submission. The south can
have no politics, save to assure Dem
ocratic ascendancy in her state gov
ernments, and she follows the lead
to Northern Democrats, who have
helped her in this respect. She is ex
pected to do most of the voting, and
none of the nominating. With the
basis of this vote to operate upon by
skillful politicians the putting up
and pulling down of men is COM
paratively easy job, as has been CAPT.
tally illustrated in the most recent
nomination. 1t was piece of ma
chine work pure and simple, and for
this reason does not inspire the en-
thusiasm and confidence of the peo-
pie.

Preventing Weeds from Seeding.

From the Massachusetts, Ploughman.
Among the duties which many
farmers neglect to perform, there are
few, If any, that are so important as
that of destroying the weeds before
they ripen their seed.
While some farmers will be care
full TO keep their cultivated crops
very clean of weeds during the first
part Of the season. very few make
any effort to do so the last part, yet
most of the weeds will come from the
seed and mature after the middle of
July. In consequence ofthis, he who
permits the weeds to grow the last
part of the season will soon fill his
land with weed seed, and will have Il
constant fight to keep them down in
the earlier part of the season suffi
GENTLY to prevent them from getting
the advantage of the useful plants.
No time on the farm is better spent
than that in thoroughly destroying
all weeds before they ripen any seed;
to do this two or three years lessons
the labor of cultivation at least one
half, and at the same time very much
increases the product of the garden or
field. Some farmers say that, as the
manure is full of weed seed, it is but
little use to try to get rid OF weeds in
the garden but they forget that it is
very much their own fault, Ifevery
farmer would make it part of his
business to see that. no weeds 60 to
seed under the fences, and around the
cultivated fields and compost heap, it
would be but few years before he
would find his manure quite free from
weed seed, The labor of moving
around the plowed land and fences,
before the weeds are old enough to
seed, Is not half the labor that would
be Required to destroy the weeds
that would come from the seed, if
permitted to stand to ripen their
seed.

ing began, Democrats killed twenty negroes
to prevent possibility of the State going
for Blaine.
The Republic is founded on law, and it's
stability depends upon the way its organic and
statutory laws are enforced and sustained.
The laws of New York and of the Nation pre-
scribe a peaceable solution of election dis
putes. To these laws the Republican party
confidently appeals, and if defeated after COM
plying with the prescribed methods will accept
the result without murmur. 1t is useless
however, to threaten and buster in advance
1t is the recourse of desperate men intent on
mischief and conscious of having no just
cause. This country has seen too much of
setting aside of legally elected oficers-nota-
bly, ongresslnen--because of party demands
Let us have no more of it. If the returns
made according to the laws of New York, give
Cleveland a plurality of even one vote, he
must be given the thirty-six electoral votes of
that State. If, on the contrary, a plurality of
one vote gives them to Blaine, then they
will be given him. The gates of hell
cannot prevail against the majesty of the law.
In short, let us, as patriotic Americans, pa
tiently await the processes prescribed FOR the
determining Of the vote of the various States,
and periodically abide by the result, what
ever it may be. If fraud be detected there
are provisions made for the punishment of its
perpetrators and the rectifcatiou of whatever
wrong is done. Unless popular government is
to be despised, we must, one and all, consent
to abide by the will Of the majority. The Re
publican party will cheerfully abide by it, even
though the majority should be but ten in the
ten million votes cast. Let the people con
tain themselves in peace, and all this hubbub
will soon disappear, while the excited crowds
will go quietly back to their wonted vocations.
1t is safe thing, a patriotic thing, to appeal
to and abide by the law. The infammatory
talk of men like Hendricks and the vaporings
of fools like Austin H. Brown, and of papers
like the New York Evening News and the
New York Herald are hostile to every princi
pie of good government, and it is to be hoped
that the good sense of even the "boys" who
throng the streets will prevent them from &C
cepting such dangerous hints.

wrought by the way the tide seemed running
from time to timer Better be filled to the
point of spilling than to coldly
contain all things, good or bad,
and to stiae the emotions that best distin-
guish man from the phlegmatic Indifference of
brutes. The matters involved in the presi-
dental election of 1884 were very important,
and strongly appealed to the emotions of the
champions of either side. The closeness of
the result only added to the intense interest
felt, so that it was but natural that even
temporary feeling of triumph should arouse
great enthusiasm. Let us be charitable
enough to pardon French volatility: great

This fever heat cannot and ought not to

ADamaginG High Tide.

QUEBEC, Nov. 6.-The loss by the high tide
last night is now estimated at $25O,0OO. There
is another high tide tonight, but it is not
pected to be as damaging as that of yesterday.
Dispatches from various points along the St
Lawrence say that no such storm as that of last
night has occurred for the past fifty years. 4
Farther Point dispatch says the storm ragged
furiously during the night. Pilots Of fifty years
experience, who remained in the signal bureau
all night state that they never remember having
seen and felt such a storm. The waves mounted
to height of fifty to sixty feet At one time
during the night they fully expected to be
wiped out. To-day the water is still roaring
and splashing. A party of boatmen sent out
with pilot to board the steamship Lake Nep-
igon on her way to Quebec, returned minus
two of their number who were washed over
board and not afterward seen.

THE BPFERVEsCBNCB AND THE FUTURE

L
For many years the people of France, and
more particularly of Paris, have been noted
for their merculial tempers. Inflammable as
oil and explosive as gunpowder, it takes but
the slightest thing to set them off. Passing
lightly from exhilaration to depression, and
experiencing neither long, it has ever been
difficult to understand them The very men
that pushed France into war with Germany
few months later turned against France and
did all in their power to destroy its beautiful
capital. 1t was but a step for them from vive
Z Empereur to vive la republique,
and from the latter to vive la commune The
men and the women who rushed to the de-
Tense of the city against the invader soon did
more to destroy it than even the Prussian had
done. 1t was the torch of the petroleuses
from Bellevilie and Montmartre, not the shells
of hostile guns, that burned the Hotel de
Ville the palace of the Tuileries and of the
Quai d Orsay. Such is the French tempera-
ment. But what should be said of the Amer
lean people, exhibiting as they do such mar
velously rapid transitions from the gravity of
despair to boisterous hilarityg During the
past two days the public has seen the streets
thronged by excited crowds, shouting,
singing and blowing horns only to be sue
ceeded maybe within half an hour, by an
other good -natured mob, no less elated bug
entertaining exactly opposite political views
and requiring very different political tidings
to make them gay. Thus it has been, one
mob succeeding another with bewidering
rapidity. 1t were as though two hostile fac
tons were contending for the possession of
the city advancing, retreating charging and
falling back, as the fortunes of the day varied.
1t was as complete picture of pandemonium
as may be had outside of absolute rioting.
There was an excuse, so it may be pleaded,
for all the ebullition, the pop, and fuss, and
fanfaronade that succeeded the day of cleo
tor. Very true; but exactly the Same apol-
ogy would relieve the Partisan canaille from
the o6ium or what not Of excitability and in
consistency. Is it not an excellent thing, how
ever, that we are greatly moved by great
things, and not averse to exhibiting enthu
siasn and depression, according to the effect

THE GENERAL RESULT,

When the Journal went to press yesterday
for its first edition the returns then received
justified the claims made both as to the coun-
try at large and the State of Indiana, though
possibly there may have been an exuberance
of feeling in the beautiful and pertinent
illustrations that decorated our col
umns. The bulletined reports from the
State showed such uniform gains as to
give warrant for the belief that the State had
gone Republican without much question, al
though we stated that it would take the off
cial returns to decide the question certainly
The reports from the counties sent after the
canvass made yesterday indicate Democratic
plurality in the State not far from 5, 900, which
is much less than the Democrats claimed.
So far as the result in New York is con
cerned it is remarkably close. Both parties
claim it, and the actual result cannot be salts
factorily determined until it is officially pro-
mulgated Both committees claim the State
but the figures seem to be with the Republic
ans, and the Democratic claims must be based
upon the fact that they have control of the
canvassing machinery.
We have a special from Tennessee that
Reid is probably elected in that State over
Bate, and the State may possibly go Repub-
Ecan.

LET any honest man read the dispatch of
Daniel Manning, chairman of the Democratic
committee of New York to Mr.. Hendricks,
and then question what is being attempted by
the persistent claiming of the State of New
York for Cleveland. The claim is intended
solely and purposely as the basis for changing
the returns by the State canvassing board,
which is Democratic. That is Mr.. Manning's
reliance, and the only one.
