The First Duty Of Great Party.

In many parts OF the country, and es-
pecally in the South and West there seems
to be a sort OF craze for cranky legislation
The most preposterous schemes are put
forth as financial and economic panaceas,
and tho way to prosperity for individuals
and for interests is sought in acts Of Con-
gress and acts OF Legislature The hopes
OF the unsuccessful and the thriftless are
stimulated by the promise of the Govern
ment's intervention and aid in their af-
fairs. Great bodies Of farmers and working
men are taught to look to Congress for re-
lief and help. This theory has been pro-
mugated with such insistencc as to COM
mand belief that the prevailing depression
OF agriculture, a depression which exists
| to even greater extent in Europe than
| in the United States, can be arrested
| and relieved by statute. 1t Is seriously
proposed that the Treasury shall become an
agricultural bank and pawnshop combined.
and that farmers shall be constituted n
privileged class with the power to contract
loans from the Government at low rates Of
interest. Meanwhile the operations of State
laws in regard to the foreclosure OF mort
cages are to be suspended. New facilities
for borrowing are to be given to the
grangers, and stay laws are to prevent them
from being harassed for tho payment OF
existing debts. Tho first steps toward the
naturalization of the land are to be taken
by the Governments assuming the duties
and responsibilities of general MORTGAGE OF
farming property. Under this arrangement |
all the bad land in the country would soon
be sold under foreclosure and become |
national land. Plans for mighty series of |
Government farms are not wanting.
Coupled with these proposals is the other
and not less socalistic proposal that the
Government shall assume the ownership and
control of all railroad and telegraph lines
Paternal legislation OF various kinds Is
moro in favor than ever before, and vast
benevolent bureaucratic despotism instead
of constitutional government with limited
powers, Is an idea which commends itself to
many simple and few cultivated minds.
The Republican party sticks at nothing in
its resolve to extend the area Of Federal in
reference for its benefit.
In the presence Of these plans for the
Of the individual and the ON
impotence OF the State, tho duty is clear to
which the Democratic party is committed
by all that is best in its history and In it's
hopes. 1t should fight all schemes. how
ever spurious or temporarily popular, for
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF tho Federal Govern {
ncnt. 1t should fight and never stop fight
ng all attempts to give the Government SILL
Dcrvision of private business. 1t should I
light, In season and out of season. for tho s
JctIersonan principles whereof the first and a
greatest is, THE Government must mind =.
IS own business" ,
Instead OF soliciting defeat by again TAX @
nS up an ISSUE upon which 1t is divided !
against itself, the Democracy should return
o its first principles. whose application was
lever more nee ded than now.

The Farmers Alliance of Minnesota, which
Is at present engaged in considering contracts
for binding Irvine. seems to have been in
iluential enough to induce a committee appoint
cd by the Governor TO report this:
From all that we learn your committee arc do.
cdedy in favor OF the immediate ont BY tho
State of an establishment for tho of bind.
ing twne either at saltwater at tho reforatory at
ST. Cloud 10 consist of less than two full systems

At the time this report was submitted. we
learn through the Poneer- Press the Alliance
was discussing proposition from "Mr.
HAEIsHoRE of Paterson. n. j., to fur
nish the Alliance binding twlno In lin
ited quantities Mt tho ratio OF IL, cents
Per pound +. o. b." This would be ordered
through the State agents OF the Alliance. and
credit until after harvest might be had If de-
sirel, The committee decided to accept the
proposition If the manufacturer would pro-
vide suitable guarantees" 1t is not yet known
whether the report on State prison manufac-
ture Of binding twne has modified the REQUIRE
ments for guarantees.

Mr.. GEORGE WARNER, who has been
travelling nearly 1900 miles up the YanGtse-
kianG River in China, says lie and his white
comrade were treated better by the natives
he thinks. than Chinese travellers would be in
this country. There is reason to doubt the
entire justice of this observation. The frantic
efforts Of many Chinese to get into this coun-
try by the underground railroad do not indl-
cate that they have any lively fears OF i'll treat
ment here. Mr.. WAENER himself admits that
his pathway was smoothed to large extent
by the fact that he wore native attire and also
n piGtal as concession to Chinese prejudices
in favor OF that appendaGe.

DRiNE. PATIENT FRIENDw

Our esteemed contemporary, the Utica
Herald makes IN excellent summary OF an ex-
tremely interesting chain OF recent events
This season of mshapS to the hest of the ocean
Rrievous hurt The French GascoEne struck upon
rock OF tho scily Islands and narrowly escaped de.
sructon through the lifting OF the fog The Cor.
man liner Normnnnia was in collision with iceberg
and but for her twin fittings and self possessed
Captain would have been destroyed. Tho English City
OF Rome thumps upon FAsnct rock In dense fog. and
escapes by hair The French La Bourgogno sails from
Now York on Saturday and is returning on Monday
having sustained injuries under which she dare not
chance the voyage to Havra
Tho noticeable fact about this extraordinary
list Of mishaps is that nobody was hurt. So
highly developed is the system OF building
ships in compartments that they may endure
encounters with rocks or icebergs such as
years ago would have meant certain loss. yet
now be as certain Of coming safely into
port. About ten years ago the Arizona
struck an iceberg rs full and fair as
prize fighter could hit his antagonist, yet she
sailed homo safe. II not sound. The ships
built now are infinitely more unsuitable
than tho Arizona. II the City Of Paris had had
her two aitor compartments blown clean off at
the time OF her recent accident she would have
been theoretically, moro seaworthy than she
was left in fact: yet she came through 1t all
right. These are great days for ocean steamers.

Fairmounts Fine Figures.

How the bowlers in the clubs in the
Jersey City Amateur Bowling League are
hitting it up in practice. The Fairmounts
tackled the pins at Holstein's last night
and they made the pin boys weary. Two
wretched scores were made. YET the aver
age of twelve men who participated was
over 1853. Without these two scores
the average made by the other
ten men was $50. From present
indications the averages of the teams in
the League contests will be many points
above the figures last season. Casseles
has evidently caught on strong this sea-
son. He again beat two hundred last
night and led the chase for records.
Three reached the nineties, Schweinitz,
Gilbert and Grim. The scores follow:
