Unnecessary interference with mdl-
yidual rights and affairs should be
avoided. for freedom is our guiding
star, and justice should point the way.
AS the preamble to the United States
Constitution has 1t: I'VE, the people
of the United States, in order to form a
more perfect union, establish justice,
insure domestic tranquility, provide for
the common defence, promote the gen
eral welfare and SECURE the blessings OF
liberty, do ordain and establish this
Constitution of the United States OF
America"
Changed conditions, different circum-
stances, doubtless require suitable and
necessary legislation, for the safety or
the people is the supreme law. THIS
does not initiate against that other
maxim that the world Is governed TOO
much" The great changes and progress
of the last half century, requiring
aggregation of capital, have necessltat-
ed governmental action accordingly;
and in the haste, i'll some cases, the
rights of the people have been neglected,
and the safety of person and property
endangered. Specific instances heed
not be pointed out here.
The Democratic is the real conserya'
tive party in that it has ever proposed

mental law of the land, and the bond
of our Union. AS the party of right
Of law, and of order, it maintains the
rights of the individual as against the
encroachments of trusts" monopoly
and corporate power. alt is the law
of reason p~eryaGing the law Of the
land"
Leaving the DEMOCRAT, the child of
our fostering, is attended by 40 means
with pleasure, but regret. A separation,
however, would soon come i'll the
natural order of things; and the oppor'
tunity offered of placing the paper i'll
such good hands could not be neglected.

meaus applicable in this case. BESIDES,
while a person is fit for work, let Inns
continue in well doing, for employ menl

In our pollIlcs, partisan heat some
times clouds reason, and bitter cUnlrO'
yersy prevails. When these heated
terms are over, however, tie better
practice is never to recur to them.
such disagreea3le periods ana occur

CONGRESSMAN SCOTT, of PennSyl-
vania, pledged his reputation that, on a
final vote, but three Democrats would
be found against the Mills bill. This,
when uttered, was thought not at all
likely, but the last advices from Wash
ington indicate that the gallant Scott
was right. Both McAdoo and Vance,
who were considered adverse, are now
in line with their party friends. The
trio in opposition are, Randall, Sowden
and Foran. The late caucus indi-
Gates this. The bill will not be acted
on until after the Democratic National
convention.

SENATOR GIBSON, of Louisiana, was
reelected to the United States Senate
last week and made a speech to the
Legislature in acknowledgment of his
election, in which, among other broad
and patriotic declarations, he uttered
the following:

is not true. The people of the northern
States, in my judgment are anxious and
willing to recognize the people of the
south as their fellow countrymen. |

THAT $40 suit>0f shoddy clothing
exhibited in the House by Mckinley
during MS tariff speech, and called

American manufacturer, paying the
higher wages of the American working
man, can make goods at a profit for the
same price as the English manufactur,

Astroiogy Challenged in India.

Like prize fighting Ia England, indian
astrolocy has lately achieved sort Of
spurious Renaissance especially among
the educated clusses. 1t was never quite
dead. OF course, any more than palmstry
among ourselves, but it had fallen into Il
morihund condition, and was relegated TO
Jupiter and Saturn by the more onlight-
ened natives Now, however, they have
taken up the ancient imposturc as quite a
new thing, and their papers TEEN with
warns relating the exact fululmcnt of
astrological prophecies.
There are. nevertheless, a few skeptics
left in the land Of Ind, who obStinately
refuse to believe that the stars control the
careers Of men, and from one OF these
proceeds suggestion which we hope 10
see acted upon. 1t IS that two dsiln-
auished astrologers should bc appointed
to name the dates on which the 600 dele
rqtes 10 the Madras congress Will stufite
of their mortal coils, the whole prophecy
10 be az once published and kept in hand
for reference. That would certainly settle
the question one way or the other. past all
controversy. But we dOubt whether
distinguished astrologcrs' will take mp
the challenge. Their wisdom generally
comes out after the event: if by some
lucky chance prediction IS verified, there
IS no end to their Boosting, but should The
contrary happen they very prudently keep
silence. London Globe
