It is scarcely probable that Bismarck
desires war with this country, notwith-
standing the reports which come from
Berlin from time to time TO the effect
that the German naval officers would
welcome a contest with the United States
Nevertheless, the continuous violation of
international comfy of which Germany
has been guilty in this matter,
and the fragrant and studied
disregard of American interests
which it has displayed, can not be readily
explained except upon the theory that
hostilities with this country is part of Bis
marck IS plans in his colonization scheme
in the South Pacific Such an outcome
of the Samoan episode, in the present
condition of European affairs. undoubt-
eddy would give more pleasure to Ger
many rs foes than to its friends. To the
intelligent and disinterested well-wishers
of that country it would seem that this
would hardly be favorable time for the
chancellor to add to the list of his cOun-
try s enemies. However, if Germany is
actually intent upon war it will probably
discover before hostilities end that when
the emergency arises, the United States
possesses both the courage and the abil-
ity to effectually defend the honor and
interests of its people.

Federal treasury and the money brokers
of New York city were sadly disappoint-
ed. Mr. Cleveland s administration has
been in many respects wise and conserva-
tive, and in all things we believe consei-
entious; but its silver policy did not
meet the wishes and expectations of the
great body of his party.
There are indications that Gen.
Harrison win take the treasury
out of the hands of a
single speculative interest, and place it
in the control of men who represent the
wishes of the agriculturalist as distinct
from those of the bondholder. The evil
dent distrust of the president-elect by
those of the latter class Is favorable
omen. Should he adopt such a course he
win deserve to be upheld in it by those
who are opposed to the domination of
selfish interests over the currency of the
country without regard to party.

to intimate that he is seriously afflicted

Foreign authors naturally feel great
aversion to a people who read their books
without paying anything TO the writers
of the volumes. Emile lola, for exam
pie, cannot restrain his expressions of
scorn for those people in the United
States who furtiyely read his eribbed
works and then hypocritically denounce
him as dirty dog for writing them.
1t is remarkable how kindly the protee-

species of free trade which consists in
robbing foreign authors of the products
of their brains.

The Birmingham (Ala.) Age-Herald,
abiding to the warning of the Mail aud
Express to the whole country that the
Democrats are engaged in a conspiracy to
steal the new house of representatives,
after showing that certificates of three
Republicans are withheld by the Demo-
cratic governors, and that the Republic
can majority is only one-half a member;
that is, out of 325 members, only 1853 Re-
publicans have been certificated, proceeds
to call our tocsin q Very Silly Talk. -
Immediately after the election a ma
jority of twenty-five was admitted to be
Republican.
1t is but short time since the Demo-
cratic press and party generally conceded
the Republicans a majority of seven.
Now they have it down to one-half of
one and say that the country is silly to be
alarmed.

necessary TO call to the assistance of Re-
publican government in Washington and

WHILE TITS CALLED today.

Just little extra exertion at this time
by Fort Worth would produce results
that one year hence would cost tens of
thousands of dollars more if they could
be attained at any price. Fort Worth, at
this juncture, is in the same condition as
the farmers crop, for which the ground
has been broken, which has been seeded
and which has come up to a promising
"stand. - The crop requires aoork to make
1t produce, and like all crops it must be
worked in season.
Fort Worth has enriched not few men
by its growth, and the more it grows the
richer it will make its people. Anything
that contributes to the progress
of the city promotes the welfare
of every man who has any interest here.
The road to Jacksboro will leave nothing
to be done by Fort Worth to perfect its
railroad system; the Texas Spring Palace
will make of Fort Worth an exhibition
hall for all this grand state; promptness,
action, work, nOag, will accelerate the
progress of Fort Worth to the profit of
every citizen. There is no time to lose in
responding to the railroad propositions;
there is no time to spare if Fort Worth
would reap the benefit to be derived from
becoming the display ground for Texas in

LIZ. GOFF,S THREAT.


Mr.. Golf intimates that if his claims to
to the West Virginia governorship are not
recognized he viii call the military power
of the state to his aid, and failing there
he will appeal to the national admins
tration. He expects Gen. Harrison, who
will then be in office, to confirm his pre-
tensions, with federal support and
troops if necessary. This expression
reveals the extent of the revolutionary
tendencies of the Republican party in
West Virginia. The shah of Persia has
as much authority to declare the result of
a gubernatorial election as has the presi-
dent of the United States. Gen. Grant
was imbued with no great respect for
state rights, but when asked as president
to sinterfere in a gubernatorial contest
in Texas, he replied that he had no con-
stitutiona1 right to NEEDLE with it. The
attempt at this late day to usurp the au-
thority of the state courts, and to substi-
tute for them the arbitrary viii of par
tisan executive, is a strong Illustration of
the reckIessness and lawlessnesS of Re-
publican methods, where office is not to
be won by legal and peaceable means.

The Northern Question.
Atlanta Constitution.


We hear a good deal about the Southern
question IN our exchanges; but what
about the Northern question? The North
ern question is a very serious one, as
Quay and Dudley know Quay was par
doned out of a northern penitentiaFy, we
hear, because he was found guilty of
fooling with state 5 money. Dudley is
not yet pardoned but he would have been
if the Indian ajudge had nothad two opin-
ions in regard to knavery.
And tins is the pith and marrow of the
Northern question. There is no denying
the fact that voters are bought in
that section, but what is the
remedy? The answer to this ques-
ton seems to be in the decisions of
an Indiana judge, who says in one breath
that knavery is a very bad thing, and in
another that knavery is a very good
thing. The same judge believes that
Dudley is guilty and that he is not guilty.
The Northern question is how to get
honest men on the bench, and how to get
dishonest men off. And the question
reaches further. When an ex-peniten-
tiaTY convict manages a campaign and is
successful, what is the country to think
of the result? This is the Northern ques-
ton. Until it is settled, the Southern
question may well be left to settle itself.
What the country needs now is an honest
settlement of the dishonest Northern

PLEA FOR SIL ZEE.

The letter printed in THE GAZETTE to-
day addressed to Mr.. T. J. Hurley is a
notable contribution to the discussion of
the currency problem. THE GAZETTE
is not at liberty to give the name of the
author, but it is proper to say that he is
the country, a man whose achievements
have been national and whose reputation
as financier spans two continents.
The writer presents an irrefutable ar
gument in favor of the reconciliation
and free coinage of silver. That the pol
icy of the government in depreciating
silver plays directly into the hands of our
rivals for the trade of countries using a
silver currency is so evident that it hardly
seems to require the confederation
given by the result. The ex-
tent of their profit from our
proscriptive system is even greater than
many bi-metalists suppose. The rela-
tions of the writer to the commercial in
teTests of the country leave no room for
doubt of the statement that
The merchants of England or the continent
can order their shipments of wheat and cotton
from India and Egypt with the distinct advant-
age over any such purchase in the United States
at present of over 30 per cent.
In other words, this country furnishes
England with cheap silver that is used TO
force down the prices of our own pro-
ducts. We not only help great COM
mercial rival TO buy its supplies,
but enable it to fix its own
prices on what we have to sell.
The financial policy of this government
has far many years been shaped to suit
the gamblers of Wall street rather than
to meet the demands of agriculture and
commerce. Those who expected that the
advent of a Democratic administration
would result in dissolution of the
long existing partnership between the

that her wonderful magnanimity has been

Personal brag is not a Northern quail
ty. although it enters so largely into the
Southron IS composition. But it Is about
time the Southrons woke up TO the fact
that they have been treated with lenien-
cy, forgiveness aud restoration and
should compare with that their black
hearted return of ingratitude.
1t is time that the Southrons should
appreciate the real greatness of soul of
the North, and stop abusing her.
The North is filed with a great people
and the only way the Southrons can trace
any lineage of greatness is to run their
ancestral lines back 10 the common
Northern stock.
And when the Southrons recall that
the North laid down l 900 ZOO OF lives
and So 900 900 900 of treasure to secure
American citizenship through all the
borders of the republic, they win see
that the North must indeed be puSilani-
nous not now to insist upon that peace
able fruit of victory; and they need not
be surprised if she is ready to bury an
other 900 900 of heroes in the battle
fields of the South, if need be, in order
not TO lose the blood of the first 1000, 900,
but to secure equal rights for all men in
every state, and on every inch of our
glorious soil.

THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE

The failure of the Texas electoral col
lege TO prepare its returns in accordance
with the law might have caused serious
complications if the Democrats had
elected president in November by
majority of less than thirteen electoral
votes. AS it is, the probabilities are that
the vote of the state viii not be included
in the presidential count. The messenger
who was entrusted with the returns
left Washington with them Monday, to
have them corrected at Austin by the
reassembled college. Should he fail to
reach Washington next Monday morning,
before congress completes the count, the
returns viii not be received. The
incident is of tri1ing Importance,
but it serves to call attention to the
necessity for a change in the method of
ascertaining the choice of the people
for their president. The mere possibility
of reversal of their decision because of
the mistake or negligence of a single in
dividual is in itself sufficient reason for
amending the electoral system.
