Democratic Promises.

The New Age publishes in parallel col
urnns the labor resolutions of the demo-
cratic and republican State conventions.
and then comments admiringly up
on the greater length, profuse-
ness. particularly and volubility
of the promises found in the democratic
platform. Like vender of quack medi-
cine It finds no praises too great for the
article which it attempts to impose upon
the people as the '.onIy genuine" reme-
DIV for all the ills that,labor encounters.
Now there are great many people
prone to inquire what are democratic
promises good for anyway Promises
that are not kept are worthless. They
are worse than no promises because they
are deceptive. They lead people to ex-
pect something and give them nothing.
The democracy in the last campaign made
a great many promises which they have
not fulfilled. do not mean to fulfill, and
never intended to try TO fulfill.
For example, They promised offices to
many persons before election. post-ofiices,
places in custom houses, lighthouse APP
monuments, positions in the departments
at Washington. in fine all the places which
would fall within the gift of democratic
administration should Mr.. Cleveland be
e,ected President. How have these prom
ises been fultiledp Inevery town and city
there are democrats who will tAke their
oath. that they were most vilely, willfully
and outrageously lied TO and deceived by
their party friends in regard to offices
which were promised them. They find
that the same offices were promised, over
and over again. to many different persons.
After election they are pushed aside. in
suited, because they apply for office ac-
cording to promises and encouragement
given them before election. Other per-
sons obtain the offices which they had
good right to expect if democratic prom
Uses are worth anything.
Then look at the promises which were
made in their national platform, and see
how they have failed to be carried out.
AS conspicuous example, observe the
high sounding promises made in the DEM
ocratic platform about the reform OF the
civil service and a pure administration of
the government. and the miserable evas-
ions, subterfuges, pretexts. and humbug
performances which have followed. by
which all reform is ignored and the cause
made 4 laughing stock and by-word. For
pure administration, see Cabinet officers
pocketing Pan Electric stock to be paid
for by using the influence which their posi-
tons give them to promote the pecuniary
success of this gigantic gamb-
ling enterprise. As an instance OF econ

A Rulncus System.

The result of cotton planting for
the year 1856, like that OF many
years, is not satisfactory. The crop
is turning out short" still the
price is low, anil many firms Deepen
dent on the success OF cotton prUdu-
GERS are cramped, and some have
suspended payment. While We do
not think there will be any serious
injury to our business men, We think
the seasons result furnishes anojh-
rr occasion to question a system,
which can never be satisfactory.
The planting system of the all cot
ton section of the South, is so faulty
as to be actually dangerous To all
who have anything to do with 1t.
In some of the very richest sections
of the Cotton States, the people are
not 50 well-to do as in other less
favored portions, where different
system is relied on.
Recently two Texas newspapers
noticed the same thing that this
journal has just directed attention
to, that is, that where the people
raise their stock and food supplies,
they were not complaining and were
gradually bcttering their condition,
and that where the people relied on
cotton productions alone, no matter
how productive the soil, there was
10 progress.
The owners Of the lands OF this
portion Of the Union had just a.
well face these facts now, and act
accordingly. High priced cotton is
a thing o: the past, and the all cot.
ton system IS q future. That is
the whole of Il, and the sooner
those who own the soil abandon
the system, the sooner they will he

A Model Man and Official.

There is a man in Perry coun-
ty besides being the best official in
the State, has the proud distinction
or knowing that he is strictly NOR
al man. This may not be known
to every, one, but it is a fact. He
never took a chew of tobacco nor
drank a drop of whiakey, never
smoked pipe or cigar, signed a
whisky petition or swore an oath.
This man is Hon. H. NJ. McCallum,
sheriff of Perry county. We are
proud of our sheriff, and Perry coun-
ty is too. He can resist all tempta-
tions and make more friends and
retain them easier than any public
official we have ever seen. He is a
model worthy TO be patterned after.
