Mr.. Wilson-Dees it not appear to you that
because of the close connection between that
association, or any other similar association,
with the public affairs of the country, that it
stands upon different basis from that of the
ordinary business of the people,
Mr. Smith-In one sense admit that; but
not in the. sense of property, which was the
point considered.
Mr.. Wilson-In what sense would you regard
it as occupying a different pOsitiOn
Mr.. Smith--In the sense Of being a public
voice
GA tribune of the people,
Aft you please.
Mr. Wilson-Aud effective in public affairs,
and effective in business affairs!
Mr. Smith-Yes, sir
Mr. Wilson-Therefore is it not of the gov
ernmental possibilities that business occupy
ing such a position might be touched by the
power of regulation, which cannot be extended
to the ordinary business of a citizen!
Mr.. Smith-Not unless you change the COnsti
tuition. The Constitution guarantees the liber
ty of the press and regulation is inconsistent
with the liberty of the press.
Mr. Wilson-It is not inconsistent, however,
to pass law for the maintenance of the free
dom of the press, is it; and enforcement of that
principle of the constitution
Mr.. Smith-lt requires no enforcement. 1t
belongs to the people. 1t is not "a matter that
concerns Congress at all
Mr.. Wilson-Congress cannot abridge the
freedom of the press, but it seems to me there
might be some regulations enacted by Congress
which would make more effective the freedom
Of the press than it would be without regula-
ton
Mr. Smith I don't think that Congress could
do what public sentiment now does. That CON
trolls the press and secures the freedom of it.
Mr. Wilson-Then il would be entirely proper
for Congress to make or not to make any regula-
tons which should touch the circulation of the

The Arctic colony under Lieut..
Greedy had very tough time of it.
The thermometer during February,
1882, averaged 4So below zero; that
is 800 below the freezing point. They
explored about $500 miles; discover
ed new land which they called Ar
thurs land, and penetrated nearer the
pole than any other persons in the
world. All the victims died painless
deaths. But after the camp was dis
covered, the perils of the party were
not over. The rescue took place un-
der circumstances attended with great
danger. The two vessels lay off the
shore some 800 yards; terrific gale
was blowing and the sea was running
high. The party had to be transferred
in bags, and the boats seemed DOOM
ed to destruction as the waves washed
wildly over them. This rescue will
bring great fame to Capt. Schley,
whose fine management accomplish
ed it.

I envy you the society OF the eagles.
I would give anything for leisure to
think quietly, and get out Of the jar
OF human life, and the perpetual ne
cessity OF talking, which consumes
an amount OF energy which should
be thrown ON action that few suspect
or dream Of. Count yourself happy
that your lfe-calling il to do and not
to chatter. Speech is OF silver, 81
lence Of gold, says the German prov
erb; and the talker is. TO my mind, by
necessity the smallest OF human souls.
His soul must ever dwindle, dwindle,
dwindle, for he utters great feelings
in words instead Of acts, and 90
satiates his need Of utterance, The
need OF all. Robertson.

Blaine's Acceptance.

The letter of James G. Blaine ac-
cepting the Republican nomination
for President proves its author to be
the most unserpulous demagogue in
the country. Protection is It's key
note and refrain from first to last.
The paper is strong on some points
and weak in the treatment of others.
In regard to monopohes MIR. Blaine
is very quiet, in fact, says nothing.
He discusses the tariff at great length,
and argues for high protective tariff.
Everything else is overshadowed by
this question. He ignores Arthur's
administration and gives civil service
cold shoulder. Mormonism and the
public lands are treated briefly. Mr..
Blaine does not urge or pledge him
self to reform any of the many
abuses that now exist under Republi-
can administration; he slzips all that
and discusses other questions of less
Importance to the people.
Mr.. Blaine has committed a stu
pendous error in trying to make pro-
lection the principle issue of this
campaign. That issue won't win this
time. The people demand admins
tratlye reform, and they know that
they cannot expect that boon from
Mr.. Blaine. A change is needed,
and the people will have word to
say to IMr. Blaine about that in No
vember.

THos. A. HENDRICKS,
OF INDIANA.

I believe in an open and sturdy
partisanship, which secures the legit-

my assent to measures purely parti-
san, which will sacrifice or endanger
their interests.-GRovER CLEVELAND.

Moral decay in the family is the
invariable prelude to public corrup-
ton. It is false distinction which
we make between public integrity and
private honor. The man whom you
cannot admit into your family, whose
morals are corrupt, cannot be pure
statesman. Whoever studies history
will be profoundly convinced that a
nation stands or falls with the sane
tity of Its domestic ties. Rome mixed
with Greece, and learned her morals.
The Goth was at her gates; but she
fell not till she was corrupted and
tainted at the heart. The domestic
corruption preceded. the political.
When there was no longer purity on
her hearth-stones, nor integrity in
her Senate, then, and not till then,
her death-knell was rung.

If there were any reason or philoso-
ply in the assumption that a high
tariff benefits the laboring men of the
North. which We deny, there is GER
tainly no reason or philosophy in the
suggestion that it benefits the labor
ing men Of the South. We do not
suppose there is a single laboring
man in Louisiana who earns one cent
more because of the tariff, while
there is not man, woman or child
in the State whose expenses are not
to some extent increased by the tariff.

of the Democratic party that we can
hope for that peace and harmony
which prevailed in the almost un.
interrupted ascendancy of the Dem.

which was interrupted only by the
process of such sectional party as
the father Of Democracy dreaded as
fire-bell in the night.

hence, we favor a tariff for revenue,

prevent unequal burdens, encourage
production and industries at home.
and to afford a just compensation to
labor, but not to create or foster
monopolies.
3. That the general governments
should care for and improve the
great waterways Of the Republic.
6. That the name of Samuel j..
Tilden, as the standard bearer of the
Democratic party in the coming
campaign, is not only essential as d
rebuke to fraud and misgovernment,
but il hereby declared to be the duty
of the Democratic party to itself
aud the country. We declare our
reliance upon his love of country
and devotion to the party, which be
has served with such fidelity in the
past, and request the delegates se-
leCtel by this convention to present
and sustain the views herein ex-
pressed.
