What is Involved.

In the multitude OF councillors there
is wisdom. Day after day We find
said on the subject Of the State debt
. something good which had not before
been said. In the last issue Of the
Winchester Times are several articles,
from which we Gull the following philo-
sophical paragraphs:
A State is an aggregation Of citizens.
The necessities Of the individual or the
family are the necessities Of the State.
Yet the needs Of the State are higher
and more sacred than the needs Of the
individual, because upon the proper ad-
ministration Of government depends the
happiness Of all.
Organized society must have an Or
gsnized government. Courts must be
held to secure life and property.
Sheriffs, constables, and magistrates
must perform their several duties. The
insane--God's acknowledgements be
cared for. The Legislature must meet
from time to time to provide for the
ever-changing needs Of . progressive
society. Children must be taught, lest
they should grow up in ignorance and
vice. The Executive Department mus
have . head. A court Of appeals
must sit to fix the laws of the Common
wealth. Agents must be had for tn
collection of revenue. All this re

The Democratic Convention for the
Fifth congressional district, which met
AZ stu,Yt's, Patrick county, yesterday,
renominated Hon. GEoRaEC. CABELL
for Congress. Mr.. CAnELL has proved
himself a bard-working, faithful, and
most efficient representative. He has
been especially active in wsging war
upon the internal-rsvenue system, the
operations Of which have been espe-
cially oppressive to the people Of some
portions Of his district. The endorse

merited.

The Democrats in Ohio nominated ior
Secretary of State JOHN MCBRIDE, as
we stated yesterday. We add now that
he is a Knight Of Labor, and quote from
thu New York Herald as follows;
uMcBride is not only a leading
KNIGHT of Labor, but is president Of the
State Miners Union and a member OF
the present and last Legislature. His
nomination will have the effect 10 break
marty lines on both sides to considera-
ble extent, and to demoralize the pre-
sent labor movement in the State. The
Republicans will probably nominate
General James S. Robinson, who is
| largely interested in business and in
yestments, and the fight will be in the
nature of one between capital and labor.
Mcbride gave up all hope himself until
the Cleveland delegation arrived this
morning, and insisted that Senator
Paynes friends did not want him sacri-
feed. Mcbride, as q member OF the
Legislature, voted for Payne for sena

THE impression deepens that the exile
Of the French princes was q fatal
blunder. 1t was blind protest OF the
left, the extreme red republicans OF the
nation, against the yearly encroach-
ments upon their majority Of the mod
crate and monarchical vote. The 3, 500, 900
conservative votes were too menacing
to the perpetuation Of power in the
hands Of the extremists, and expulsion
was deereed. This act only hastsns the
day Of the coming Of that which was
and is inevitable. Without this act Of
expulsion the revolution would have
come by the more peaceful measure Of
the ballot and France would have re-
NAMED republican in form. By this act
the revolution will be preoipitsted, and
1t may come as revolution Of force that
will not leave France republican, even
in name.

IT Is coming to be accepted as fact
even in Texas that the people must be
suited in the coming elections before the
politicians. The men who secure office
this year will be honored, because the
people will honor themselves first.
A man who is elected on account Of his
ability to serve the people and not be-
cause he desires honor for himself will
be truly honOred Of his constituents.
There are healthy signs of such senti-
ment prevailing in this state, and the
mere fact of mans wanting office and
wanting it bad will be the very least of
his qualifications before the electors.
A more careful inquest into a mans fit
ness for the high offices Of legislation
and government will be made this year
than ever before, and it seems likely that
this campaign will be one in which the
best man will win. Not the man who
can best manipulate the cauouses and
pull wires, but the man who can best
serve the people, introducing and carry
ing forward necessary measures Of leg

The Dallas county convention has
done the right thing in moving for
plank in the democratic state platform
pledging the state to the policy of work
ing short time cOnVicts on the public
roads OF the counties in which they are
convicted and sentenced. That plank is
sound one and the action OF Dallas
county should be initiated by every
county In Texas. 1t would simplify the
whole convict labor question materially,
by taking care of more than half of the
criminals, and at the same time reliey-
ing the people Of an unjust and oppres-
sive burden. The abolition of poll tax
would follow this move almost as q
corollary.

MCCLURE, of the Philadelphia Times, it
will be remembered, said to Mr.. Cleve-
land shortly after his election, Ifthere
is no revival Of business during your ad-
ministratiOn then your administration
will be failure and the democratic
party will be beaten In the election Of
1888. But IL there is speedy and
flourishing revival OF business under
your administration, then you will be
successful and the democratic party
will succeed in 1885," That revival Of
business has been looked for In vain.
While it is manifestly unjust to hold any
administration responsible for business
depressions arising from climate,
meteorologic. or other physical causes,
governments are held responsible, and
justly SO, for all business depressions
arising from governmental acts. The
position taken by congress on the silver
question and the tariff agitation have
had a most ruinous effect upon business.
By maintaining the gold standard OF
money the country has been forced to do
business with a deprecated currency.
By tariff agitation the whole question Of
values has been kept In the market,
prices OF merchandise have been unset
tied, values have been rendered nncer-
tain and trade has been afraid to ad-
vance itself actively, not knowing what
would be the next move Of the tariff
thinkers. If congress only would adjourn,
and give the country SO much assurance
of things remaining as they are, all
business would feel relieved.
