RELYING ON THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

The Journal has already noticed the
open defiance of law by the saloons of Gin
cinnati. Already that is so reacting against
the saloon interest that the Southwest,
the saloon organ of that city, has sound
ed the alarm and ordered retreat, but
not surrender. 1t knows too well who
its friends are. Referring to this, it
says:
There is only one solution to the problem.
1t Is not by rebellion to the law, by defiance
of the authorities or smuggling cranks. Each
move in either of these directions will be in
the direction of efficient aid to the enemy
just what the Republican Evangelical Al
lance, Low Order League and the other or
CARNATIONS of that party want, and Will
help forge new shackles for personal liber-
ty: 1t is by reasoning from cause and re-
suits; by calmly considering that the evils
now upon US are entirely the result of Re-
publican party legislation: and that the
English press of that party is clamOrous
even now for the enactment of still moro
stringent and restrictive laws; that the
Democratic party, when in power, has ever
been liberal in its enactments. and is not

make the State subservient to their isms

upon the Democratic party, and it strength

COMMENT AND OPINION.

NEARLY every merchant, well on in life,
would tell you that he would have been
worth more if he had stuck to his regular
business. He has gone out to get rich
quickly. and has found it easy to part from
his accumulations in that way. Then he
goes back to the field that he understands
and resumes intelligent work again.-Hart-
ford COurant.
AS a skilled laborer the negro has much
to learn. He has only fairly entered O
great field of usefulness. Thus far he has
proved himself a good imitator, and, in
work where comparatively little originality
is required. is but lutte, If at all, inferior
to the white AS vet he has developed lit
tie originality, and his usefulness is great
est il routine work.-Cleveland Leader.
The State Department may have recourse
to diplomatic arguments and temporary ex-
pedients, but in the long run the admins

DEMOCRATIC papers in Kentucky have
been trying to make point against Mr..
Colson, Republican candidate for State
Treasurer, by saying that he comes from
"a pauper county" In Kentucky that
phrase is used as a technical term to
designate county which, instead of
paying net revenue into the treasury
of the State, has to draw money from
the treasury TO complete the payment of
county expenditures. The Louisville
Commercial warns Democratic orators
that the term is loaded, and proceeds to
show that according TO the last Audi
tors report more than half the counties
In the State are pauper counties in the
sense indicated; to be exact it says there
are 1f9 counties in the State, and of
these no less than sixty-five had failed
to produce enough revenue to meet the
expenses chargeable to them. Political
]y these sixty-fve counties are di-
vided as follows: Twenty-four are
Democratic counties, twenty-seven. are
Republican counties, and fourteen are
counties which generally vote the Demo-
cratic ticket, but occasionally give a
Republican majority. This statement
shows that the pauper counties in Ken
tueky are not all Republican, any more
than the illiterate voters are all black.

well as to the statistician. The account
given by the consul to Chin-K iang of
his first visit to Marking includes moth
ing of special moment, but affords
glimpse of Chinese civilization through
a doorway closed to the ordinary trav-

at Frankfort-on-theM Main on the exist

Germany shows that he, too, is there
for something more than the mere emol-

problems of the day and to the possible

the industries and commerce of his own

THE KICKING COMMANDERS.
The View Of the Matter Taken at the Place OF
Encampment.

Milwaukee Sentinel
The veterans have been very considerats
of the feelings of the kicking departments
commanders. and the kickers have mis-
understood it; they have taken 1T TO mean
that they could 60 on with their idl0llc
performance. their dishonorable treatment
of the Wisconsin veterans and their sense

issue circulars asking the veterans 10 BACK

ment, but they have gone to log-rollng' ana

The boss kicker, Martin, made. up ms
mind long before the rate question was
raised, to prevent the veterans from coming
to Milwaukee. Months ago he spent an
hour in the city, and then informed the
newspaper reporters that the encampment
would be a failure. He wants prominence.
He is willing to take it as chronic kicker

The veterans should understand the sil-

THE VERSATILE VOORHEES,,

A correspondent wants to know if
Senator Voorhees, was always as violent
free trader as his recent Bloomfield
speech would indicate? By no means.
He has voted and spoken for protection.
He made a strong protection speech at
Atlanta few years ago. Oct. 20, 1881,
in letter to Hon. Bayless Hanna, he
wrote:
The platform of 1880 was violent de-
parture on the subject of the tariff, and has
no precedent in the history of Democratic
platforms adopted in national conventions.
Have examined them all. The declaration
OF tariff for revenue only was never be-
fore made in national Democratic conven-
ton, and is a burlesque on common sense.
We lost Indiana in the last three
weeks of the campaign of 1880 on the alb
surd issue made by our platform on this
subject.
Part of his Bloomfield speech was de-
voted to abusing the local barons"-
meaning, of course, the Republican coal
barons-who, by getting richer than
some of their neighbors, have become
eligible to be hanged, like Mr.. Carnegie.
Their crime in this regard was laid at
the door of protection. Yet no longer
ago than last winter Mr.. Voorhees, voted
against putting coal on the free list.
Senator Turpie voted the same way.
Some of the party papers censured them
for their vote, and Senator Voorhees,
wrote letter to the editor of the South
Bend Times, in which he said:
In view of the events of the past year,
confess to some surprise that Judge Turpie
and should be criticised for our vote in
regard to the duty on coal. The Mills bill,
as 1t Is known, was under discussion In the
House OF Representatives four months and
more as a Democratic measure. The ques-
ton of coal was carefully considered by the
Democratic committee on ways and means,
and at one time the committee was strong
Iy inclined to report coal on the free list,
but finally for reasons they deemed suffi-
Gent determined not TO do so. During the
long debate which enSued l remember no
movement in that direction, and when the
bill passed 1T received the vote of every
Democrat in the House except four or five.
Mr.. Mills, MIR. Carlisle and every Demo-
cratic member including all my Democrat
&c colleagues in the House from Indiana,
voted as Judge Turpie and / did. and 1
have never heard them assailed on that ac-
count.
There was duty of 70 cents ton on coal
when the Mills bill passed the House, and
recall no effort at that time on the part of
anybody to put coal on the free list. And
when, in addition to this. the st. Louis
convention Endorsed the Mills bill and we
made our entire canvass on it, Judge Tur-
pie and did not feel ourselves authorized
to make a new departure and declare new
platform for the Democratic party on five
minutes notice, and necessarily without
consultatiOn.
Thus it appears that when these free
trade Democrats had chance to vote to
repeal the duty on coal they did not
do it. This does not prove that they are
honest prOtectiOnists, but it does prove
that they are political trimmers and
demagogues.

THE information disseminated by the

their official communications to the State
Department is usually of the order de-

functionaries seem to make no effort to

right ON evolving fresh lies.

The selfish Juggling of the Missouri
Indiana school-book monopoly appears
at every step. 1t now appears that they
have instructed school boards through
out the State to make their first orders
as small as possible. The reason of this
is that the mechanical facilities at the
st. Louis end of the line are entirely in
adequate to filling the contract. The
result will be that comparatively few
counties will be supplied with books for
the opening of the fall term, and many
schools only partially supplied. Under
ordinary business methods this would
work forfeiture of the contract, but
the new law does not recognize ordinary
business methods. In this, as in all the
rest of the proceedings, it is apparent
that the interests of the schools and of
the people are to be entirely subor-
dinated to money making scheme.

How the market price of lambs, and of
rabbits, and guinea pigs will 60 up when
Brown-Sequard's elixir of life comes into
general use! No man or woman of mature
years will lose the opportunity to become
thirty years younger when it can be done
by the simple process of injecting lamb or
rabbit pulp into their veins once a month.
And what bonanza it will be for physi-
clans during the brief time it will rage and
until, like the blue glass craze, condurango
for cancer and the later gas cure for con-
sumption, it makes way for newer medical
sensation. The fact that Brown-Sequard
is a physician in good standing with his
profession made it incumbent on him, un-
der the code-the medical code has a few
sensible provisions-to give his discovery
to the world and lamb pulp, as a rejuven-
ator, cannot, therefore. become a proprie-
tary medicine. Regular" physicians, with
more or less Skill will experiment with it,
and credulous people, who would they

the mercy of quacks. Doubtless the public
will hear of some very curious things while
this new discovery is the sensation of the
day. AS means of shaking off mortal ills
