The Republicans of New York have done
splendidly in their ticket and poorly in their
platform. The latter is verbose and indecisive.
What it says could have been much better
said in half the words and some things left un-
said had better have been put in. The life of a
busy people is too short to read arguments in
a platform. What is wanted are sharp, short,
terse statements Of principles. The failure to
say anything upon the regulation and taxation

mistake. This is pressing question, all over

THE Philadelphia Press says:

"Senator Allison, in a speech at Waverly,
Ia, last Thursday, ranged himself by the side
of Senator Sherman, Senator Hoar and Sena-
tor Evarts on the issue of an honest ballot in
the South. He discussed the question elo-
quently and exhaustively, and declared
that the Democratic party in the North, by
its silent approval of the suppression of the
colored vote in the South, was really respon-
sible for the crime. 1t is significant to note
the unanimity shown in the discussion of this
issue by Republican speakers and newspapers.
Not dissenting voice has been raised
in public in opposition to making this
the leading issue until it is settled, and set
tied rightly. Senator Allisons utterances
prove that the Republicans of the West per-
ceive this truth as clearly as the hearty in
dorsement of Senator Sherman's speeches
showed it to be recognized by the Eastern
Republicans"

WHEN a newspaper was attacked for the adj
vocacy of high tax upon saloons on the plat
form of Roberts Park Church, there was no
one who felt it necessary to relieve the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union from
responsibility for the meetings. That me-
cessity only came when Christian minister
had the good sense and the courage to assert
like freedom for himself and speak his hon
est sentiments But the incident did vast
deal of good in the liberation of individual
conscience. Mr.. Rondthaler is entitled to the
hearty thanks of those who believe in freedom
of speech and the liberty Of conscience for

five years Welsh will be dead tongue-San
Francisco Examiner.
If the Welsh language is cultivated half as
assiduously as it is now, it will not die out in
ten centuries. 1t is taught in the schools,
and Welsh literature is established. It is a
beautiful language when spoken, and is
adapted to music and song. The people are
proud of it, as the annual Eisteddfodd proves.
At that festival prizes are offered for compost
tons in prose, poetry and song, all in Welsh.
While the Welsh generally speak English.
they cling to their ancestral tongue in way
creditable to their patriotism, and that forbids
the extinction Of their native tongue.

REPLYING to Mr. Roosevelt's criticism of
Jefferson Davis, the Memphis Appeal comes
valiantly to the defense of the what-is-it of
the Confederacy. Replying to the charge
that Davis belonged to the same category with
Benedict Arnold, the Appeal says:
'It would be impossible for any one at all
versed in the history of the United States to
institute parallel even for moment between
the traitor who offered to sell his country at
critical juncture in it's infantile life, and the
citizen selected by 5000, 900 of people to be
the President of government they had set
up in opposition to that of the United States. !"
Softly. Mr.. Davis plotted treason, and
helped set the rebellion in. motion months be-
fore he was chosen by 5000, 900 people to be
anything. He was a Benedict Arnold when
he turned traitor to his country while yet
serving under an oath to support and defend
the Constitution, and drawing his pay from
the Treasury of that country. And he was
traitor when he came near being mobbed in
Tennessee in 1860, for proclaiming secession
sentiments. In the interest Of good will be-
tween all the people of the Union, it is we'll to
say nothing about such men as Davis, Kelley,
ct al But the history that shall stand will
have none of this sentimental bias, and Davis
will go on record as traitor and conspirator.

Four miners sat night in june. 1858, in a tent

they had worked the mine without getting than

amined it. and found it to be gold. He at pro-

something out of the common had happened and
they, too, piled their picks vigorously. With silent
resolve they worked on until they unearthed big
nugget. Then fierce, glad yell of Joy reached the
ears of the fourth at the windlass at the mine

HAS it ever occurred to the people Of In
dianapolis that, by the law, every saloon in
the city must be closed on election day. On
the approaching 18th of October interest and
duty will strangely meet and during the
hours the polls are opened all the saloons will
be tightly closed, and every person connected
with them in any capacity, or who can be in
fuenced by Them will be hard at work for s'Cot-
trellism." If it shall be known, very shortly
after o'clock that liberalism" has carried
the day, then the saloons will be thrown wide
open, and a full head of whisky will be put
on. How many business houses will be closed
on election day? How many mer-
chants, and manufacturers, and pro-
fessional men will close their stores,
their factories and their Offices, and give even
apart of day to work in favor of law and ORDER
and of low taxation, and of public m orality,
and of business and industrial security? These
are serious and important questions, which
the good people Of Indianapolis must consider
and answer. Unless they go to work Got
trellism" will run over them, not only on
election day, but in the future. Less than
three weeks, scarcely more than two, remain
of the present city campaign. Is there to be
any, or is it to be given up by default?

9BUT that's not it," was the reply of sa-

demonstrating about his subscribing 800 to
the ''Cottrell fund.-" with promise of more if
necessary suggesting that it would be much
cheaper to pay the additional $4s to the city
and go along with business. "But that's not
it. We recognize this as mere preliminary
skirmish, and we propose to fight it out on
the skirmish line. We intend to oppose this
movement against our rights at every stage.
We fully understand that victory of the ia

besides hampering us with many burdensome
conditions not now in the law. The mere $48
is nothing. Even with that added our
entire license is much below the av-
erage, aud we can stand that, but
we cannot and will not stand this attack on
our business, which must be nipped in the
bud. No; the $48 is not the question at issue,
it is the five or ten hundred or more. This is
mere skirmish engagement and we propose
to make it lively. Besides, if successful we
expect to have the present tax removed.

Democrats and the Liquor Business in the
South.
INDIANAPOLIS News.

The Democrats of the city who don't like to
see the party ridden over law. and order, and
decency, and economy by the liquor power may
take heart of grace" from the fact that the
most effective restraint of liquor selling enacted,
and enforced, too, in the United States, is in the
strongest Democratic States--Georgia, Misss-
sippi and Alabama. In fact most of the con-
federate States are the strongest practical tenn
perance States in the Union. They don't enact
prohibition, because they know it can't be en-
forced in u good many localities. and to make it
general law is to make it a law to be laughed
at and defed, as it is in SO many localities in the
few States that are trying it. But they
