COMMENT AND OPINION.

A LOAD of buckshot to each "White Cap"
is the best prescription that can be given to
these cut-thrOats. 1t may occasionally kill,
but it always cures.-LOuisville CONNER
cial.
THE delays, the rubbish, the denial of
justice in general that are involved in what
is termed law in this enlightened Nation
would disgrace a tribe of HOttentots.-New
York World
WHILE many things yet exist in the South
which are offensive to true Americanism, a
better day is dawning when the South will
occupy the place in the Nation which her
natural resources and advantages entitle
her to occupy.-Nebraska State Journal.
He who looks at our future through the
caucus, the ring, the "heeler," the float
err" and the political manager of the ''prac-
tical politics" order. sees shipwreck ahead;
moral sense and cleanness of society sees
renovation of political methods and elect
oral processes not SO very far OH.-BostOn
Globe.
THE Post is very decidedly of the opinion
that the great mass of the American people
compose the Cabinet. The people who
elected General Harrison did so becacse
they had faith in his ability, his honesty
and his republieanism, and they are quite
willing to trust him to select the members
of his official family Washington Post
HE power muSG DC taken from the 1nUl-
vidual railroad manager to touch the rates;
it is key to the pockets of the stockhOld-
ers, with the custody of which he is unfit to
be trusted. The key must be taken from
him, and the power to use it must be vested
rounded by safeguards that will prevent
further misuse and degradation.-New'
York Sun.
The South, in fact. can no longer hide its
light under bushel. 1t sets upon hill
top, at last out of the reach of sectiOnalists,
and CLEANS a beacon, a guiding light for all
ment for capital, whether it is In the form
of accumulated gold or of labor. The de-
velopment of the South should, and we be-
ieve it will be, the pride of the Nation.

THERE is but one course for us 1.-THE
developing this region to the best of our
ability, and perpetuating the reign of law
and order In time a tide of immigration
will set in from the Northern and Western
canize the South. This will be better than
an influx of Europeans, and we can afford
to wait for it.-Atlanta Constitution.
WE defy any Mormon to give a reason
that will bear examination why MOrmOns
should be given the ballot in the United
States while withholding their full fealty
from the government, while giving full
fealty to an alien despOtiSm. The fight here
is not a mere squabble between minority
and majority for supremacy. bntit is fight
for the supremacy of republican institu-
tons against the rule of q creed.-Salt Lake
City Tribune.
WHY do the young and enterprising Can
adams come here, and find the situation SO
tOlerable that they like it and stayf They
have no wide ocean to cross IN order to re-
turn to their native land If they found
our tariff laws as oppressive. and the con-
dition of the laborer as disastrous as Mr..
Cleveland paints it, they would certainly
leave and warn their compatriots. But,
on the contrary, they remain and think
they are Observation-Disclosures Sentinel.
CONGRESS should either provide the Pres
ident with home entirely separate from
his Office, or should combine the two in a
building large and commodions enough to
| fairly and official life The White House
does not do that. 1t is not creditable TO the
country that President should be Obliged
