THE utterances of jeff Davis are of no pos
sible interest to the American public and it
is only when they are Endorsed and applauded
by the multitude that they become of i'm
portance to the people. It has been claimed
for years that Davis stood alone in his hos
tility to the reunited country, but it is DEM
onstrated that there are thousands in the
South who still believe that the Rebellion was
a righteous war. AS long as the Southern
people hold this doctrine the issues of the war
are not settled. 1t is simply truce, that is
likely to be broken as soon as the believers
in that doctrine think they are again able to
make show of standing up against the forces
of the Union. The temporary success of the
Democratic party in a national election has
emboldened the champions of the Rebellion to
speak out their convictions, and these convic-
tions, as has been demonstrated during the
past week, are in support Of the righteousness
of the lost cause 1t has been placed
above the cause for which the revolutionary
heroes fought, and it has been asserted that
the rebel grey will be an heirloom in the
Southern home long after the continental
buff has been forgotten. We do not regard
such utterances as wholesome nor loyal. and
it must be discouraging to those who fought
so valiantly to save the Union to read that
they are still regarded as invaders and muir.
derers of their fellow-countrymen who were
trying to destroy the Union. If one year of
Democratic rule does this much, how long
will it take to reassert every doctrine that led
the South into the war Of the Rebellioni 1t
were better to have an understanding now

JEFF. DAVIS says that every Union soldier
that crossed Mason and Dixon's line was an in
yader, and the war he fought an unholy one,
and all the people of the South respond amen.
Then, when Northern newspaper defends the
Union soldier, says he was a patriot, and the
war he fought was one for free government
and the rights of free men, the cry is raised
that the bloody shirt is being waved, and all
thelickspittles and doughfaces in the North
have spasm. The Indianapolis Journal is
not edited to please that sort of people.

THERE is great deal of rot in circulation
just now in reference to the labor question,
and some glowing pictures are painted for the
delectation of the workingmen, who stand
more in need of solid advice and honest coun-
sci than at almost any other time in their ex-
perience. Take for example, this, from the
Louisville Times:
'The greatest labor demonstration ever
witnessed in this country is on the boards to-
day. Like an army with banners, but with
out its arms, the seventeen million wage
workers of the land are making peaceful dis
play of the strength which they possess like a
giant, but which they have so far not used
like giant"
If the Times knows anything about the la
Dor question, it knows there are but about
IL, 100000 laborers all told, in the United
States, and that of these over 7,750,000 are
farm laborers. Next in point of numbers, but
many fewer, come the manufacturers, the
men that the Times speaks of, and they num-
Der $500, 900, or about half that are employed
in agriculture. The Times may be surprised
to learn that there are more professional peo
pie than mechanics in this country, embrac-
ing not only doctors and lawyers, but nurses,
servants, etc., who number 4, O0O,0 O0 BUTT
is only fair that those engaged in transporta-
ton should be added to the mechanical
classes, since they are interested in the pres
emit movement in favor of larger rights.
These number 1,80000 It is gross exag-
geration to say that IL, O0O 900 men are max
ing display at this time. In point of fact,
the number interested in these demon
STATIONS compose very insignificant
proportion of the workingmen of the land.
1t is this that makes their imperious demands
so hateful to the free American. The boy
colt, for this reason, becomes very unpopular,
and it is to be hoped that the impudent in
fanny may be hustled out of existence at
once. It stands in the way of more speedy
solution of the labor question and puts the
workingman in the attitude of bulldozer,
the most contemplate thing imaginable in a
country where all men are free and equal.
Let the papers of the land be honest in their
dealings with this question, SO that justice
may be attained, and the workingmen may
not be led into false and dangerous positions
by wrong understanding of the situation.
There are about 500, 900 Knights of Labor,
and a certain per cent. of these are disposed
to strike for shorter days and for increased
pay. Properly directed they may achieve
their object; that is question to be deter
mined by the possibilities of business. Hus-
tied into untenable positions by persons and
papers intent on pleasing them at the expense
of truth, they may do themselves great harm.
One honest friend at this time is worth an
army of fiatterers.

SPIRIT OF THE STATE PRESS.
The Temperance Issue.

Bloomington Telephone.
In the very nature Of things the temperance
issue is going to be an important factor in the
coming State campaign. There avery strongfe
ing that the people should be given an opportunity
to express themselves in some way this great
question, and naturally enough temperance men
look to the Republican party for this opportun-
ity. They must not look in van the State con-
vention must not pass this by without a calm
sensible and defnable plank in the platform on
the subject. The prevailing sentiment is nm
doubtedly for local option, in which the power 10

not so popular, is the adhsrents to high tax on
the traffic. This Is sensible and at the same
time practical; let the traffic pay for its own des
tructiOn.

The Democrats in Congress are disguised
Mt the utterances of Jeff Davis, and have tele-
graphed to the South TO put the old fool in a
strait jacket. It is not because there is
any disagreement from what he has said, but
he is not discreet. If there has been a single
note of dissent from the sentiment he has
uttered, it has escaped us, and we shall be
glad to have our attention called to it at once.

WHAT jeff Davis may think and say is of
the least possible importance. No one can
have more contemptuous opinion of the old
traitors words than the Journal has, But
what Jeff Davis is saying represents the opin-
ions of the large or the controlling, majority
of the Southern people, This is very differ
ent matter. If there has been single South
ern man or paper denounce or disown what

heard on every hand. It must and will re-
ceive fully one thousand majority; it should
have and probably will have, two thousand
majority. That would be its desert, and
would look like good old times. It would
also show what the people will do when the
party responds to their just demands and
answers it's own best aspirations.

anu ilgnt haru, but Sam stand square
to his gun and says: ATS the hit
dog that yelps." Sometimes he gets
hard shot himself and 1t hurts and
he yelps little too, but he loads up
quick and fires again. Eccentric,
electric and sometimes erratic, he
still fights on. maintaining his posi-
ton or else advancing, but never re-
treating from the enemy. When the
church will not back him in his as
saults he shows no white flag, but
goes 1t alone. In vain his cautious
conservative brethren demonstrate
and advise. In vain the press de-
nounces. In vain the critics make
sport. He still fights on his own line
aud with his own weapons, and has
made more havoc single.handed than
any soldier of the church militant
during the last half century. For a
while he was called fraud.
For a while he was likened to a
rocket that went up with a blaze Of
noisy light, and they said he would
explode and come down like a stick.
But nobody cries fraud or rock ct now.
His star is still bright. Long may
he live to wrestle with iniquity in
high places. for that is his fort, His
fagorite game moves in the circles of
polite society. Hypocrisy, vanity
and selfishness are his targets, Brave.
Watchful and self-pOssessed, he is al
ways retdy and his magazine is full
of RESOURCES. AS surveyed the great
tabernace and it's crowded audience

cOul1 have built this house but him ?
Who would, who could have raised
a thousant dollars here to-day, in ten
minutes, vherewith to beautify and
improve The grounds 2" He has more
grit, more map, more assurance than
all the preachers. He is success In
his line, ant it is good line for the
times. Rebrm is the watchWOrd
now, and IN is a refOrmer. About
some things he is cranky and has
touch Of fanaicism, hut this does not
matter. Let him be so. So was
Luther and Wesley and John Knox.
Reformerswere always extremists.
The pendulum is obliged to swing or
the clock will stop. Sam Jones
sees the young man wrecked at the
gaming.tabh, and so he denounces a
social game of whist at the family
Preside. He sees young girl in
libertine's company at ball. and de.
nounces dansing in any form or any
place. But let him thunder against
cards and dancing and base ball and
anything else that is carried to ex-
cess. There is intemperance in most
everything. Boys can play at mar
bles too much and hunt too much.
Girls can giggle and chew gum and
dress too much. Women can visit
and gossip too much. Men can eat
too much and drink too much and
chew too much tobacco. 1 remember
when the preachers preached against
the fiddle and called it the DEVILS in
strument. and there are still some old
fashioned folks who have holy hor-
ror of an organ in church. What
would the old-time fathers have
though of this modern tabernacle
worship with its paid reporters on the
stand and its hired singers and its
restaurants near by with refresh
ments on sale and youth parading
the sanctuary selling pictures of the
preachers on Sabbath day.
