PUBLIC OPINION.

inc OOutn IS 2 very Oau part Ol the country, but the Cincinnati sec tionalists have a great many goods they would like to work off on this section.-Atlanta Constitution, Dem
 The civil service law is stupend. ous fraud and humbug, and we hope it will be repealed or very severly amended. Senator Vance goes far ther and with propriety and reason He says he is opposed to system that favors Republicans as much as Democrats. The thinking people ol North Carolina are with him.-Wil mington Star, Dem.
 We have never yet known the prosperity of church to be promo ted by quarrels among it's mem bers, and we suppose that the strength ol the Democracy would be much greater at the polls If all the factions were united and concentrated upon a common purpose than it will be when each is struggling to put down the other. However, these arc questions, and queer things may happen. New York Sun, Ind.
 Democratic Dissensions have giv- en Foraker his majority. It as proba ble that Ohio would have gone Re publican h any event, but lack ol harmony helped materially to roll uI the majority. A disunited party can accomplish nothing. This is the lesson of the Ohio election. The enemy is stronger than any faction of the party. The quarrels of Ohio Democrats have lost the party the confidence of the people of the State Boston Post, Dem.
 This is check for the Democra- cy. We may account for it with very good reasons. Ohio has always been Republican State. The election of 1883 gave it to the Democrats but this was only temporary change and the Germans, whose revolt against the Republicans made it have now gone back again. This is true, and there are no other reasons which are likewise true. But no ex planation can change the fact or ren der it any less disagreeable.- New York Sun, Ind.
 But the condition of the South during all this period the years ol depression) has been relatively bet ter than that of any other portion of the Union, for the reason that It's crops have been large and have com manded ready market, and because new railroads have been built and the great natural resources of that section in iron, coal, lumber aad fer tilizers have been opened up. Good local government, peaceful ami help full relations between the two races and greater attention to business and less to politics, were essential to this development; and this the Dem ocratic home rule has assured to the people. The Federal government has done nothing directly to aid ir this development; and if the "linan- cial policy of the Republican party has promoted Southern prosperity, why has it not helped the North Ten years out of the last twelve have been years Of dullncss and depres sion. During this time the South has greatly improved it's former con dition when both the Federal and State government were Republican The inference is clear that the end of the carpet bag reign was bless ing to the Sonth.--Boston Herald Ind.

INTRODUCTORY.

REFERENCE TO THE LAT vICR-PREsIDRNT
To the congress of the United States: Your
assembling is clouded by a sense OF public be-
reavement caused by the recent and sudden
death of Thos. A. Hendicks, vice-president of
the United States. His distinguished public
services. his complete integrity and devotion to
every duty, and his personal virtues, will find
honorable record in his c|ountry's history. The
ample and repeated esteem and confidence in
which he was held by his countrymon were
manifested by his election TO an office OF the
most importance and highest dignity, and at
length full of years and honors he has been laid
at rest amidst general sorrow and benediction.
CONGRESS ANT THE MESSAGE.
The constitution, which requires those chosen
to legislats for the people to annually meet in
the discharge OF their solemn trust, also requires
che president to give TO congress Information OF
the etate Of the union and recommend to their
consideration such measures as he shall deem
necessary aud expedient. At the Threshold OF
n compliance with these constitutional direc-
tions, it ia well for us to bear in
mind that our usefulness To the peoples
interest will be remote 10y a constant appreci-
ntion OF the scope and character of oar respective
duties as they relate To federal legislation.
While the executive may On such Yueas-
ures as he shall deem expedient, the rcsnonAi-
bility for Legislative action must and should rest
upon those selected by the people 10 make their
laws. Contemplation OF the grave and res ponsi-
Die functions assigned 20 the executive branches
of the government under tho constitution will
disclose the partitions Of power between our re-
spective departments and their necessary indie
pendence. and also tho need for the exercise OF
all he power intrusted to each in that spirit of
comfy and cooperation which is essentisl 20 the
proper f~ulhllmspt OF the patriotic obligations
which rest upon as Ms faithful servants of the
people. Tho Jealous watchluinees of our con
stituencies. great and small, supplements their
suffrage, and therefore In the tribunal they os-
tA5llsh every public servant should be- judged.
