The St. Louis Republican tells the story briefly and well when it says: "Ve believe in practical pol itics. The Democratic party has been voted into power by the peo- pie, and 1t should exercise it's au- thority fearlessly and fully. The various ingenious devices which radical plotters have employed to keep their workers in office, should be calmly disregarded. The. plain provisions of law, even enacted for partisan purposes, must, Of course. be respected, but not the forced interpretations thereof made by interested parties. The people want the Democrats in Of flee; they have said so by their ballots, and the Democrats should be put in office with as little ado about the matter as possible. A Democratic administration is real ly not in power until it is fully rep res snted in the various branches of the public service, and so far as the appointing power can bring about this representation itshould exercise it's functions to that end unrestrained by any consideration except the limitations of law. FouI years of genuine Democratic rule will make the victory of the party in 1888 q matter of certainty"

Proof Against Lye in Any Form,

A little knot of choice spirits were assembled in the back parlor of the gas office recently, listening to a narrative of wild and thrilling adventures from the lips of MT. Curry Combs, the vivaci0us and truthful collector of tho company.
 ''Well, il was just as l was tell ing you,' continued Curry. II was driving along from Livingstone to Miles City. in two horse buggy and was having an elegant trip, Weather lovely, game plenty and roads good. But on the third day out, just at dusk, l noticed a lit tie marshy spot ahead, but thought nothing of it. Pretty soon l heard the splashihg of the horses feet i'll water, but it didn't seem 10 be deep and I kept on. Then 1t seemed to me that tue horses weren't as tall as they might had been and I wondered if they were sinking; but no, their motion was free and unimpeded and the water wasn't over three inches deep. Then l noticed tha. the buggy was getting pretty close to the ground, All of a sudden it occurred 10 me what had happened. l had driven into an alkali overflow, and the I've was so strong that it had eaten off about two feet of the horses legs and eaten the tires and fellows from the buggy wheels, and they were running on the ends of tie spoke. In a minute more we struck a deep place. The horses went mp to their necks and the bug gy afloat. Tn another second the horses and buggy were dlsintegra. ted and mingled with the alkali water, and l was left swimming alone.
 Then my clothes commenced to drop off, and when l reached the shore I hadn't rag left on me-"
 "Why didn't the lye eatyou too?' asked an interested listener.
 "Oh, Pm proof against lye in any form" replied the veracions Mir. Combs. as he shifted his qnid and led the way out St. Pau Herald.

macon sun.
Ii strikes us that for a non-committal
paper the jackson CLARION takes a lively
interest in Smoothing up the record Of
Lowry and saying all the good j. can in his
favor.
Ii the SIN thinks that we have said
all the good of Governor Lowry within
our knowledge it is badly mistaken.
We might devote our columns to telling
his merits for several issues and yet
leave the half untold. But we still
claim to be non-committal. That is to
say, we have never yet championed
Governor LowRY's claims for re-renomi-
nation, except to the extent that our
sense of Justice, revolving at the uDjus-
tifable attacks that have been made upon
him, has occasionally led US to attempt
an explanation of matters which, though
trifiing in themselves, were being magni-
fed into serious offences. Had we been
more pronounced friend of Governor
LOWRY we might have said less, as our
| observation has taught US that the voters
were not being influenced much by the
savage assaults of the anti-LowRy press
and that where they were influenced il
was IN favor of Governor LOWRY, be
cause they knew that he had never done
| anything to deserve the coarse and vul
gar criticism, which he, as the leading
Democrat of the State had been forced tc
| bear
At the commencement of the canvass
in our view, there existed no reason
why Governor Lowry should be renom
mated, or not renominated. We believed
that he was ON an equal footing with
any other candidate, and that was al
that we cared for. There, we were con
tent TO let him remain. But many
things have happened since which have
forced us to take some part in the cur
rent discussion, and if Governor LOWRY
has been the gamer by it, it is becaus,
he is the chosen chief of the politica
party whose measures have been 81
mercilessly attached, anu in who's,
defense we have felt it to be our duty t,
| speak out.

The Ring" Slate.

We hear rumors of ring at Jackson
that has fixed up slate by which it
expects to gobble up all the State offices
at the convention on the 10Th of next
month. The members composing this
ring had better look sharp or the whole
Of them will get left. The people of
this State will attend to the distribution
of the offices and any slate fixed up by
ring will be smashed and the fixers
get badly left.-Mocon San.
Just now it is popular with certain
newspapers to cry out, like the San,
that there are rumors of "ring" or
that there is "ring," intent on gobbling
up all The Offices. If the ring" re-
ferred to by these overwise or oversus-
picious papers included all the
candidates, no one could reasonably OBJ
ject to the charge that there was a
ring" intent on gobbling up the offices
but, whether so with the San, or not,
such charges are usually started by
weak candidates in. order to iniure
those who are supposed to be stronger
The CLARION has special facilities
for ascertaining what Is going on in
Mississippi politics, and it knows of no
such ring or combination as is referred
to by the San.
We have heard this old cry of "ring''
before. 1t is what might with great
aptness be called "the minority war
cry" We have grown so familiar with
it that it has ceased to amuse or interest,
but lest we fall into the error of the
man who failed to heed the cry of wolf,
when the wolf was really there, we are
open to conviction.
We now call upon the Sun and other
respected contemporaries with informa-
ton on the subject of ''rings" to forward
it to us at once. We feel more than
usual interest in the matter, because there
are four. candidates for State Offices in
Hinds county and all on the outside of
the "ring." Should the facts warrant, the
disclosures will be startling, and we
promise to fight it out On that line if it
takes till the 10Th of August We don't
care to fight men of straw or windmills
but if we can be pointed to real live
full-grown "ring' we will give it "war to
the knife and knife to the hilt." Now,
gentlemen, don't stand back and say
that you never had an opportunity to
breaking or smashing a ring" THE
CLARION promises its assistance. If
will be your faithful ally and vii,
never cease its warfare while "the ring''
exists. But there must be "ring."
Who knows anything about it? Please
answer, one at a time.

A Bad Appointment.

The appointment of Ex-Governor L.

Ohio, to be one of the Government

Company, created universal surprise and
indignation among the Democrats. He

tor of the fraud by which that State
was counted for HAYS. 1t was in con
sideration of that infamy that Con-
greesional Committee, consisting of
GARRISON n. POTTER, WILLIAM r.
MORRISON, EPPA HUNToN, WILLIAM S.
STENGER, JOHN A. MCMAHON, JOSEPH
G. $. BLACKBURN and WILLIAM W.
SPRINGER, after investigating the cleo
toral frauds, reported as their conelu-
sions:
First-That due effect was not given
to the vote of electors appointed by the
State os Florida at the Presidential cleo
ton of 1874, by reason of false and
fraudulent returns for the said electors
by the Canvassing Board of that State,
whereby the choice of the people of that
State was annulled and reversed, and
that the action of the Board of State
Canvassers in making the returns was
sountenanced and encouraged by. among
others, the Hon. EDWARD F. NoYEs,
who has since been appointed the Minis
ter for this country to France.
That such man was singled out for
an Office of great trust and honor by
Mr. CLEVELAND was a surprise. An
ominous growl was even heard from the
sage of GREysToNE, who exclaimed,
'can such things be and overcome us
like n summer cloud" It turns out,
that the mistake of the President was
due to the recommendation of Gov.
HoApLEY, who, it is surmised, was non
compos mcntis at the time. Fortunately
the storm was allayed by the interven-
ton Of Mr.. MOVES himself, by declining

One Cent Postage.

1t is suggested that the Postmaster
General, would in his annual report to
Congress, recommend universal pos
tage of one cent for letters and news
papers. Senator SUMNER advocated the
universal one cent postage idea for
several years in Congress before he
died, but he was opposed by the Post
Office Department all the time on the
ground that the government could not
afford it. The true answer is, that the
postal service has never been self-sus-
tanning and was not designed to be by
the trainers of the Constitution. 1t is
a means of diffusing knowledge and of
inter communication, which was one of
the objects in forming the government
There is no expenditure which affords
