fidence enough in a party's economic
policy to base their investments and
speculations on it, no higher tribute
could be asked. The fact that hereto
fore these Southerners who base their
business confidence IN the Republican
party have still voted with the Democ
racy shows the force of habit and preju
dice. Their Judgment, intelligence and
interests point one way and tradition
and prejudice another. In the end the
former must conquer, and Southerners
will vote for the party that commands
their confidence

COMMENT AND OPINION.

If English money is to be obtained on the
hope that trust OF combination can rule
the dry goods trade, it is only necessary to
remark that an extraordinary lot of fools
IN England are seeking the opportunity to
be parted from their money in the prompt
est Misunderstanding Dispatch.
No act of Tanner can be justified simply
because Black did the same thing. If it
cannot stand on it's own merits it must
fall. The question is not whether Black
did it, but whether it is right in itself
That is the standard that must be applied,
and that is what he himself asks.-Phila-
delphia Press.
The only forcible argument against an
educational restriction of the suffrage is
the danger that it would weaken the slim
illus to provide for popular education; but
1t has not had that effect in Massachusetts,
The desire to elevate and improve the char
acter of the people and to diffuse the adj
vantages of education would still prevail
New York Times.
THE business of hangman is profta-
BILE, and under the law it is necessary. and
yet 1T is hard to get any competent man to
go into 1t; and when one is found he usually
travels from place to place, perhaps from
State to State to do his detested work, so
women turn pale, and children are terrified
when they encounter known hangman
New York Sun.
1T is the mOnOmania for cheap coal and
cheap everything that forces workers to
strike against starvation. And of all the
people on the foOtstool who are victims of
this mania for cheap things the free-trader
ranks first and most Extensively. They do
not choose to see that cheap products mean
low wages. They want to eat their cake
and have it. 1t cannot be dOne.-Philadel-
phia North American.
The submission of international disputes
to third power can never be, in the present
state of European politics, a practical
means of avoiding war. The enormous in
crease of devices for the effective destruc-
ton of life and property, and the diplomat
ic entanglements in which all European
powers are bound, are the strong arguments
of the age for International peace.-New
York Commercial Advertiser.
MISSIONARIES to heather lands long ago
discovered that it was almost a hopeless
task to attempt to convert barbarous
people TO Christianity without taking
ton. Hence, the establishment of schools,
the sending of skilled physicians and other
efforts to bring all the resources of civiliza-
tiOn into action in order to prepare the
ground for the reception of the seed of re-
HgiOus truth.-Louisville Courier-J ournal.
If the salt union means to double the
price of salt in this country or more as it
has done In England, the tax on the people
would average fully ~ cents for each in
habitant and probably more, but it is yet
to be proved that such an advance or any
other can be maintained. The available
deposits In this country are very numerous
and large, and the duty on imported salt
may not appear to Congress a desirable
one to retain, If the producers combine to
shut up part of the American works and to
tax consumers.-New York Tribune.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1889-07-29

THE shocking murder of Gen. A. E.
Jones, of Cincinnati, has one feature of
resemblance to the Mellow Dawson
murder. The murderer has confessed
to the killing, giving all the details of
the tragedy, and the main facts are cor
roborated by circumstantial evidence.
But, like Mellow, he insists that the
killing was done in self-defense, the
deceased having struck him first. There
is nothing to corroborate this part of his
story, and it is improbable on it's face,
but the only other witness of the tragedy
being dead, it will be hard to disprOve.
If the murderer adheres to this state
ment, it may raise reasonable doubt in
the minds of a jury that will save him
from the gallows. These technicalities
and subterfuges of the law are pretty
well understood by criminals.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1889-07-29

For some time past a Democratic
"tariff-refOrm" meeting has been ad-
vertised to be held at Bloomfield OF the
27th inst, with Senator Voorhees, as the
principal speaker. The meeting came
off on Saturday. and Mr.. Voorhees, spoke
his piece. In order to make sure of get
ting his speech the Journal sent short
hand reporter to take it down, and in
order to show what kind of speech the
Senator makes when he has not written
out his remarks in advance and does
not know there is reporter about, we
print it. We think most people will
agree that more demagOgical speech
never was delivered. From beginning
to end it is an appeal to the ignorance
and prejudice of his audience, full of
false statements, vicious suggestions
and communistic appeals. 1t never
once rises to the level of respectable
argument or accurate statement. The
Senator's favorite idea of tariff reform
seems to be abuse OF the Republican
party and wedding out rich men by
hanging.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1889-07-29

THEODORE ROOSEVELT offers strik-
ing contrast to those self-styled civil
service refOrmers whose blind zeal in
behalf OF their favorite cause leads them
to abuse and put obstacles in the way of
the only party through which the reform
can be established. Mr.. Roosevelt's
manly declaration that he means to work
hard for three years to improve the civil
service, and will then resign to work for
the election of the Republican presiden-
