We print a little news this morning
from the jackson District, because it
is news, and does not reflect on any
candidate. We think our correspon-
dent in error in assuming that there
will be any very great difficulty in
electing the democratic nominee. The
Democratic party Of the District own
about nine hundred and ninety-nine
One-thousandths Of it, and they will be
very apt to bring influences enough to

secure home rule for Ireland, but Il
seems plain that the policy ls rapidly
gaining strength, even with the En-.
glish. Mr.. Parnell has recently evlnced
q desire, that 1t should be understood,
that be only desires home rule and no.
separation. II is probable that be only
wants some system Of government
for his unfortunate countrymen,
that will enable them to manage
their own pifairs. While he perhaps
prefers independence. he is willing to
compromise on home rule. It is there
fore unnecessary for the opposition to
refer to speeches made by him, years
ago, when he did not dream the En-
glish Premier, would be his strongest
partisan to secure home rule. That be
did declare he was in favor
of severing every link that
bound England and Ireland together,
does not prove that he is not accepting
In good faith, the home rule policy Of
tie English Premier. 1t only goes to
prove, that he seeks now, and has been
seeking for years, some method by
which the Irish may control their own
local affairs, and If possible better their
condition. We of the South are better
able to understand and appre-
ciat4 the value of home rule,
than others. We can zee why
Mr.. Parnell is willing to abandon
separation, if the Irish shall be per.
mitted to rule the Irish.
There are many people in the North
who think they could manage South
ern affairs bttt 4r than the SOutherners.
The wonderful recuperation of the
South in the last ten years under
"home rule" shows that such North.
erners are mistaken. There are many
English who imagine they can rule Ire
land better than the Irish. Let US
hope, that If the Irish are given the
opportunity, they will demonstcst :
that sucl an opinion is as groundless
as that entertained by Americans op-
posed to home rul'. Give the Irish the
chance, and whether any real 'griey.
ances are removed or not it is altogeth.
er probable they will endure more patti.
emily the ILL they clnnCt Escape. 1t is
EVEN reasonal le to suppose that they
will make the best of their situation
and that Ireland, instead of being q
weakness to the British Government
will in a few years becomes tower Of
strength, just as the South is now Of
the United States.

Tue Natchez Democrat doesn't

IT seems evident that Louisiana is
soon to try the experiment of an elective
judiciary. The House of Representa-
tives has passed a bill by a vote of IS
to 2 to abolish the appointment system.
It is thought that many influences
worked to secure a vote SO nearly
unanimity, The movement first
originated ia a desire to Sc
cure more lenient judges in
New Orleans, where some of them
have actually enforced the law. After
the movement began it was joined by
others who wished to curtail the pre-
negatives of the Governor.
We are convinced that it is the worst
sort of a move for u sister State, OF
for any State with so large a class Of
ignorant population. 1t lowers the
judiciary by casting it directly into the
unclean political pool. Any Governor
no matter what his politics, will fet
responsibility in appointing judges
and will select better judges, than ar
indiscriminate class of voters will
elect.
1t is actually fearful to contemplate
the tenacity with which ignorant an(
corrupt voters cling to some of the
very worst scoundrels. Give them thu
power and they would elect then
judges just as freely as they have elect
ed them to other positions.

The Springfield, Mass, Republican
thus recounts the dangerous effects
Of the abuse Of cocaine. 1.-TWO victims
to the cocaine habit created a sensa-
ton in the Delavan house at Elmira,
N. Y, yesterday morning by their
insane antics. The pair, who proved
to be DR.. A. L. Hazen and his daughter
of Sharpsville, Pa, were taken to the
City Hospital, and their supply of the
drug, which they were in the habit of
injecting hypodermically, was taken
from them. The man became almost
frantic, while the woman fell asleep.
The doctors succeeded in arousing her
only by injecting hypodermically, as
her father directed, large doses Of
cocaine. She then rallied and ate
heartily; and fifteen minutes after
Hazen had been granted his customary
dose he vas apparently himself again.
He is a well educated man and has
been practicing medicine at Evans
vile, Ind. He acquired the habit
through experiment on himself, and
he has taken as much as forty grains a
day. He says he will put himself
under treatment and break the habit
when he gets home. His daughter is
but nineteen years old and has used the
injections but seven weeks to allay
pain; but she is already confirmed in
the habit.

Senator Gibson on Secret Sessions
New Orleans Picayune.
Senator Glbson's speech. in opposi.
ton to secret sessions Of the United
s. ,tes Senate, must be regarded as a
very valuable contribution to a discus
sion Of general interest and great i'm
poItanee. 1t c,vers the whole groundS
and is, in our judgment, unanswera.
Gle. 1t asserts the ipcontrovertibIe
acts that secret sessions are ia con-
hitt with the peculiar genius of the
Federal Government, that they have
been discontinued as a feature of Par
liamentary government in Great Brit
ain, and that they afford unfair parti-
san advantages to the enemies of the
administration.
To sum it up, Gen. Gibson's speech
is a plea for publicity as against con
c9alment in the conduct Of national
affairs. "No public interest" he de.
clared, required t1at any of the pro-
c.edings OF the Senate should be kept
secret from the people, and the gen.
eral rule thus lid down is, he con-
tends, equally applicable to the discus
son of treaties and the confirmation of
appointments. The people have a
right t. know the reasons which really
actuate the Senate in the ratification
or rejection of treaties of whatever
character, but this right is especi ally
clear and import mt where quest )ns of
revenue are involved. The Con-
s tuition of the United Stat IS
provide that all bills of
revenue shalt OIL yinat with the House
of Representatives, and the reason f I
that provision is that the House Il
Represent hives is the popular braF ca
of the Na'i)nal Legi l4ture. The
theory is that the pubic purse-strilgs
should be In the hands Of the imme.
date and, most recently chosen repre-.
sentatiVes of the people. The same
theory has been reduced to pratti ;e in
Eugl4nd, and it is the secret of the
strength of free Institutions and the
development of the Democratic idea
there. Inc Federal House of Repre-.
sentatives will always insist upon
being consulted in regard to treaties
which provide for the expenditure Of
money, or which bear directly upon thu
ways and means of the government.
The argument ia regard to appoint
ments is equally conclusive. There il
no reason why the country should b,
kept in the dark as to reputation anC
record of the men who are PROPOSED
for the various offices of the civil ser
vice list. When a character is attack
ed the accused should he openl,
confronted with the accusation ant
the acquser. No man should he sacci
feed to the personal or partisan male
of secret foes. On tle other hand
every aspirant for appointment Shout,
understand that he must c)me befor
the Senate with clean hands, or be pre-
pared for the consequence %, of al
exposure of the utmost publicity. Ii
other words, the ordeal should be on
without terrors for a good man, ant
without mercy for a bad ONT.

Proposition to Remove the Capital
to New Orleans,


NEW ORLEANS, May ga Baton
Rouge special to the States says
in private discussion of measures
in the interest of public welfare
last night, and not yet dis
cussed in caucus, it was deter
mined to introduce in the house on
Monday a constitutional amendment,
to be submitted to the people, to re-
move the capital from Baton Rouge to
New Orleans. This project has great
strength and popularity, not only
amongst the city delegation but
amongst country members, and it is
quite probable that the amendment
will pass both branches Of the general
assembly. The committee on WAYS
and means will on Monday report the
interest tax at q mills. An effort was
made to reduce This to q mills, but it
was determined t. stand by the former
figures. This action of the committee
insures the prompt and full payment
ct the interest on the bonded debt and
is calculated to sustain the State credit.
Note-If capital removal is carried,
it will cost the State a quarter to half
million dollars for a new State house.

farm on the Saline river, which he
bought for $500 cash. We can con-
graduate Mr. Head upon having pur-
chased one Of the very best farms,
taking everything into consideration,
in this part Of Kansas. Mr.. Gierseh
hOmesteaded this place in 1858 when
there were but two other settlers on
the Saline-the Schippel brothers.
Mr.. Giersch often remarked that he
had all Saline county to select from,
and il he could pick his choice every
year, he would always select this
same farm, as il just suited him. We
hope Mr.. Head will be as well pleased
with il as its original owner was.
