Bourbon Sherman and the New South

A quarter of century ago, John
Sherman was one of the ablest and
broadest progressive leaders of the
country against effete Democratic
Bourbons of that day. They learned
nothing, forgot nothing, and Sherman,
with all the fire of youth to inspire his
great ability, was one of the boldest
and best teachers of liberal and patrio-
tic advancement. Progress came it
came in the tempest of battle; it
brought emancipation 1t gave the
nation half century of progress in a
single decade, and there can be no halt
in the growth of liberal ideas that
Sherman so largely aided in swelling
to flood tide. The Democratic Bour-
bons who confronted him, higgled
about the war, bayed emancipation as
the poodle bays the moon, and have
snarled at the grandest achievements
of the worlds history until they drop
ped out of life and faded from mem
ory.
The Bourbons of Democracy are
dead or the few who live are unfelt in
Democratic authority. Democracy won
all its battles in State and nation only
by an absolute and visible severance
from its Bourbon leaders of 1860.
Here and there one turns up and sheds
his shroud IT, take anEoffice, but there
are just enough of them to prove that
the race once lived and is now no more.
But Bourbonism is, like history, re-
peating itself, and it logically comes
from the fetid fountains of long con.
iinued and greatly abused partisan
power. TIE aggressive, patriotic Re
publican leaders against Democratic
Bourbonism quarter of century ago
havesso long nestled in the old Bour
bon channels of authority and enjoyed
their power and plunder, that they
now come shivering to the front of the
progress they once championed and
sent up their pitiful walls against the
logical sequel of their own good work
of their better days, Power and spoils
bred Democratic Bourbons, and now
Sherman, Blaine, Logan, Boutwell,,
Hoar, Dawes, Cameron and their fel-
flows are tottering along in the old
thorny Bourbon path in which Buch-
anan ard Thompson and Cobb and
Vallandigham and their followers stub
bed and pricked their toes when Re
publcan revolutionary progress began
twenty-five years ago.
OF all the pitiable Republican Bour-
bons of to day, John Sherman ia the
most pitiable. His brother fought
from Belmont by Yicksburg and the
march to the sea TO Raleigh, where the

insurgent flag was iurled, but he knows
that the war Ia over, that peace has
come, that the laws are supreme in
South and North, and that the humb-
lest citizen, black or white, is protect
ed in all the prerogatives Of citizen
ship but John Sherman, who never
faced the perils of battle, and who,
as Grant said in his last admonition to
the country, did not fully warm up to
the war until the conflict was over, is
now fighting the war over again in
Ohio in the frenzy of dotage. When
there is universal peace and fraternity;
when the South is vastly more success
full and harmonious with its labor than
is Ohio and when the industry of the
South presents increased products up
in the hundred millions, John Sherman
rises up from his Bourbon tomb and
chokes the people with the dust of his
tattered Bourbon spoilsman's shroud
by declaring that there is only lawiess7
ness and anarchy in the whole South,
and that the North must return TO the
dead issues of the war to renew the
incalcuablo evils of sectional strife.
Ten years ago there might have
been divided sentiment as TO the truth.
fulness of John Sherman's senseless
Bourbon TRADE against The South,
whether true or untrue but to-day
there can be no divided sentiment
among intelligent citizens of any SEQ
tion or party. His statement accusing
the Southern States of denying as free
and Independent suffrage TO the blacks
as is accorded them in the North, are
not only false, but Sherman must know
them TO be false if he is not bereft of
memory and reason. The colossal
fraud of 1876, in which John Sherman
was one of the chief criminals i'll the
Louisiana electoral burglary, was the
last great wrong perpetrated against
the Integrity of the ballot in the South,
and since then, tens of thousands of
the most intelligent colored voters
have openly voted the Democratic tick
ct ard other hundreds of thousands OF
colored voters have refused to vote be-
cause their party leaders, largely ap-
pointed by Sherman were notorious
and shameless thieves. If John Sher-
man would 90 to the Southern States,
visit the centres of politics, confer free
ly with the intelligent colored voters
Of each State, he would learn in detail
what he must know as general truth,
that Sherman's plundering carpet-bag
Treasury agents and their fellow car
pet-bag adventures, forced every col.
ored man who wanted honest govern
ment TO separate from the Republican
party or retire from all participation in
politics. The writer hereof heard these
facts from intelligent land trustworthy
colored men in nearly every Southern
State in 1881 and again in 1885, and
they are now as well known TO every
citizen of average information as that
two and two make four. Such ming
led stupidity and falsehood coming
from one of the Republican Bourbon
spoilsmen, must CRATE harshly upon the
intelligence Of the people of Ohio, and
outside of Ohio, both in North and
South, they simply tell the story that
Republican Bourbonism is repeating
the history of Democratic Bourbon
ism of 1S60.--Phila. Times. 7t

Self-oonviotion.

Senator Sherman continues to rave and
rail against the South for preventing
the negroes from exercising the right
of voting by numbering them when.
ever they attompt to go to the polls.
According to Mr.. Sherman, Blaine was
defeated because the colored voters of
the Southern States were deferred from
voting for him by threats of violence
and by actual assassination.
II the negroes had really been thus
outraged in the Southern States no one
but the Republican Administration
would be to blame. The Republicans
have passed n law giving United States
officials extraordinary powers in all
elections at which President or Con-
gressmen are to be elected. They have
had Republican United States Judges,
Republican Supervisors and Republi-
can United States Marshals to enforce
this law. If such criminal acts as Mr..
Sherman alleges had been practised at
the polls in the South, it could only be
because the Republican United States
authorities have been Indifferent about
their duties or too corrupt or cowardly
to enforce the laws.
Mr.. Sherman's TRADE is, in fact, an
arraignment of the Republican party,
which has been charged with the en-
forcement of the laws for the past
twenty-four years, and is proof that
either from incapacity, indifference or
corruption they are unfit to govern.
How could restoring the Republicans
to power correct the evil practices
which Mr.. Sherman alleges, when,
according to his own statement, they
have existed and been successfully car
ried out under long years of Republi-
can rnle p World

The Bible in Schools.
JUDGE MErIARD, OF MERCER, DECIDES
THAT IT MAY BE READ

MERCER Sept. 12.-Judge Mehard
to-day filed his decision in the cele-
brated Sharpsville school case, a suit
brought by certain Roman Catholic
citizens of Sharpsville to restrain the
school directors of that place from
further authorizing and permitting the
reading of the King James Bible in
public schools. The plaintiffs alleged
that such exercises violate Article l.,
Section III, and Article 10, Sections l
and II of the State Constitution, the
only correct English version of the
Scriptures being the Douay Bible, and
all others being unauthorized and sec
tartan in character
In an exhaustive opinion Judge
Mehard decided in favor of tho school
directors. He holds that public schools
were established, not out of regard for
the children or individuals, but as
part of an organized community. They
are not the outgrowth of the State pol
icy for acknowledgement of virtue and
the prevention of vice and immortality.
The instruction to be impaired includes
the cultivation of morality as well as
the attainment of knowledge and in.
tellectual culture. The morality which
the State deems it important thus to
cultivate must be the morality which
is regarded necessary for the support
of the laws and institutions of the
State. This must be the morality on
which they are based, and this is the
morality of the Bible. 1t follows.
therefore, that the source of that NOR
ality is not excluded, but that the
Bible may be used for the moral cult
ure of the pupils of the public schools.
With regard to the plaintiffs asser-
tion that the highest ecclesiastical tri-
bunal of the Roman Catholic Church
has declared the King James version
to be sectariap, incorrect and incom-
plete, Judge Mehard holds that the
decision of ecclesiastical courts do not
bind the State, and that, as no prefer
ence is given by our laws to any par
ticular version, all versions stand equal
before the law and that school direct
ors have power to authorize the use of
any version in the schools.
The decision quotes many author
tiles, both of this and other state courts.
The case will doubtless be taken to the
Supreme Court.
