Gov. Robinson, of Massachusetts, is
practical labor reformer and thus a
welcome successor to the late unla-
mented Gen. Ben Butler. He recon-
mends the enactment of law requiring
corporations to pay their hands weekly
and SO enable them to live upon cash
basis; and law providing for the Settle
ment of small bankruptcies upon a sys-
tenn as favorable to the poor working
man as 10 his employer who fails for a
great sum. The object of government
is to promote the general welfare and
to secure every man, rich or poor. in
the enjoyment of his natural, civil and
political rights except when restricted
as punishment for crime or when
such restriction is necessary for the
safety of community. Cash is better
than truck, or promises, or credit at
stores. and Monday payments better
than those of Saturday which in many
cases find their way, before Sunday
night, to worse places than -four stores,
grocery stores and dry goods and other
stores, where the real necessaries of life
are sold. Law cannot compel a man
to save or wisely expend his wages,
but it may do something to prevent
their useless sacrifice or waste.

From this it appears that nearly one
third of Ohio, more than three-fourths
of Michigan, about two-fifths of Indi-
ana, little more than one-fourth of
Illinois, about three-sevenths of Iowa,
and almost nine-tenths of Nebraska re-
NAMED unimproved as farm property at
the time of the last census. In settled
States, the number of acres included in
cities, towns and villages, in roads,
lakes and navigable streams, will re-
duce the proportion of "unimproved
acres" by about 2 per cent. of the total
area. The statistician of Indiana COM
putes that there We're in 1879, 249, $50

Hardwood Lumber.

The Prairie Farmer calls attention
10 the fact that several kinds of hard
wood lumber are gradually coming INTO
use, which few years ago We're uano-
ticed. Beech is enc of them. 1t is
cheap and abundant, while the more
popular hardwoods are becoming com
paratiyely scarce and consaque tiy
high-prieed. Beech has fine gran is
quite durable, and is used in the mann
facture of school and church furniture,
chairs, and to a certain extent in fisr-
niture. The red variety has hand
some appearance, and can be made to
initiate cherry.

The investigation of the Copiah cleo
ton outrages bring forth even more
horrible state of affairs than had been
charged. The time has come when
these election rioters should be set down
upon in a summary manner, not only
for the good of the South, but for the
good of mankind in general. Espec-
tally in the Southern states do these out.
laws flourish. and they seem to neither
have fear or compunction of conscience
to contend with. The farther the in
vestigation proceeds the more is it APP
parant that the people, who do not act
with these political assassins, are in
great danger of life and property; and
if no other way can be devised to give
them relief Congress should extend to
the people the strong arm OF the gov.
eminent for protection. A free and un.
disturbed ballot, in all sections, is what
the people want.

Gen. Thomas Ewing of Ohio. is man
of too great prominence to be unheard
or unheeded when he chooses to speak
upon public questions. While he is a
Democrat he is evidently discriminat-
ing one, and pretty correctly measures
the memory of the people when he says:
mo man who fought in the Southern
army during the war can ever hope to
be President. More than that, no son
of such man will ever be President.
Nay, more, it is doubtful if the third
generation will be able to aspire sue
cessfully to that position. l will be
even more positive, that no man who
lived in border State and remained at
home, taking no part in the struggle,
will ever secure the suffrages of the
people for the first Office in their gift. :"

The vote of New York will be
decisive in the national convention
at Chicago. In this connection the
letter of our distinguished fellow
citizen, P. P. Bishop will be interest
ing because it gives a view of the
inside workings and sentiments
among the leaders of popular feel
ing at Saratoga. When all things
foreshadow the victory of honesty
and popular government in Noyem-
Der, the attitude of some would-be
leaders in Florida is source of
modification to good democrats
everywhere. Florida must be in
cluded among the states which will
hail the election of Governor Cleve-
land and to this end personal feel
ings and petty spites must be
thoroughly subordinated to patrio-
tic zeal for the public welfare. The
leader must be one who will har-
monte, the county candidates must
be democrats tried and true who
will draw the independent vote by
the magnetic force of personal
character, and the campaign, to be

Grafton of his views from the matter
in dispute. From democrats we
take counsel; Independents and re-
publicans have no place in a demo-
cratic convention. 1t is our wish to
deserve their support, but it is only
weakness which submits to their die
tation.
Both gentlemen have rendered
eminent services to the party and
the country, Drew has been amply
rewarded, and Abrams has suffered
contumely at the hands of the party
leaders. But neither fact can au-
thorize than to constitute themseI-
yes singly or collectively, an imperi-
UNI in imperio which shall presume
to govern by divine right. The
mass of the party would have right
ed Abrams if he had possessed the
necessary patience; no action of a.
few who take it upon themselves to
lead for personalp purposes, should be
allowed to bias our party relations.
If candidates are allowed to repu-
diate the action of conventions, del
egates certainly can do so; and if
the official decisions Of the party are
not binding we should discontinue
the useless farce of publishing edicts
which nobody is bound to respect.
Far be it from us to restrict the
rights of the voter. But where only
private opinion or personal pique is
pleaded as excuse for such action it
should have no weight. Drew
claims that Bloxham has broken
faith with him but the party is no
more responsible than for the debts
of either gentleman, and when Drew
refuses to support the party nomi-
nee for such reason, he cuts loose
from the party. Abrams thinks
Dougherty incompetent; his private
| Judgment cannot bind the party,
and if the convention differs with
him he must either accept the SEN
tence of the duly constituted court
or write himself democrat no longer.
Drew's interview strengthened BIox-
ham; the attack of Abrams on
DoIgherty will in no respect weak
en- the claims Of the latter gentle
man, while both the parties assailed
have fortified their position by pro-
claiming their fealty to the laws of
party organization.
Personal preferences can only OPP
crate as between democrats, and find
appropriate expression in conven-
ton. Private judgment wakes pale
before the broad light of an official
decision fairly made.

PARTY LOYALTY

Two prominent citizens of the Sc
cOnd district who have, for a time,
voted with the democratic party
now avOw their determination to
bolt if their ideas as to candidates
fail to control our nominating con-
ventiOns. Ex-GOv. Drew refuses to
consider himself bound to support
Gov. Bloxham if the latter should
be nominated at Pensacola, and Mai,
Abrams will put himself outside if
the Palatka convention sees fit to
nominate Dougherty. In both in
stances these gentlemen have practi-
cally cut loose already from party
utilization with us. Gov. Drew will
90 before the state convention him
self, and should feel obliged in COM
mon honesty as we'll as well as by
party ties to support the nomination
made by it. If he could prove any
party defeasance or public guilt on
Bloxham he would have some show
of justice, but his whole accusation
bases itself on personal ill-treatment
with which the party has no possible
concern. During the Finley cam
paign some of our best workers were
personally sighted and this slight
was emphasized by the action of a
district convention, but no soreness
was engendered towards the party,
and those who were debarred from
any opportunity Of public work gave
earnest private support to the nomi-
nees. Our experience has not been
exceptionally long, but that expert
ence has been gained entirely with
in the democratic party, and we
have never before seen a candidate
go before a convention with the
ayowed intention OF repudlatlng the
result of its deliberations unless he
was allowed to enforce his own ideas
on the party to which he offers the
use of his name. Such action sa-
vors so rankly of unfaIrness that it
amounts practically to a renuncia-
ton of party loyalty. Neither Gov.
Drew nor Maj. Abrams is possessed
of the record or weight necessary to
constitute a party IN himself. We
were opposed to the nomination of
Gen. Finley simply because we
thought he could not be elected, and
when our brothers in council differ.
ed with us, we were bound to WELD
to their superior weight and careful
Judgment. When Maj. Abrams saw
fit TO take the course afterwards
adopted by him We were deeply
grieved; when he openly declares
that he shall not feel bound by the
nomination of Dougherty, we think
he practically eliminates the consid
