THE st. Louis Globe-Democrat rises
to remark concerning the late demo
cratic defaulting state treasurer:
The state treasurer of Texas will be
read out of the democratic party if he
refuses much longer to join the noble
army of democratic defaulters.
The Globe Democrat does not un-
derstand. Texas is preparing to come
INTO the republican camp and wants
a good record as an honest state so as
to be in line with the new order. Lub.
book is all right.

IT l. quite difficult to determine
Just what is the true condition of
affairs in Germany, beyond the fact
that Bismack has rendered his resig-
nation and that at present the emper-
or declines to accept it. This much
may be accepted as fact: Emperor
William and his chancellor have a
fatal disagreement over the policy to
be pursued in the present unexpected
increase of sOCialistic strength in the
ReIchstag. The emperor would re-
gain the majority lost to the govern
ment by coalition with the clerical
party, headed by Win ithOrs, with
whom Bismarck has been at war in
the reichstag for the past fifteen
years. This coalition is very distaste-
tul to the chancellor and he
would avoid it by resigning Office
and wipIng his hands of the whole
possibility. There is little reason
to doubt that Bismack regards the
movement taken by the emperor on
the labor question Of very question:

any way In the solution Of the very
serious question " hich now ~luTcs all

be precisely stated. That is, that the
avowal by the Dana newspaper OF un-
tagging support would not particularly
help Mr.. Hill. 1t would be quite like
the sun under its present management
to begin pounding away for Hill
months and years before the
time for nominations comes. IL will
manage to boom itself and its favorite
clean over the ropes of the political
ring and then, with nobody in the field
whom it wants to support, it will sulk,
or 90 for Butler, or do some equally
silly thing. This is the policy that the
Sun pursued until It was forced to
take down the big sign-board which
adorned the cornice of its home In
Park Row, and which told every
passer-by that the SUMS circulation
was a million a week.
IL is not probable that any national
convention of democrats will ever NOM
mate Governor Hill for the office of
president-nOt, at least, in the Nine
teenth century. There are too many
good men on earth to warrant a selec-
ton as distasteful as that would surely
prove TO be. Still, it's well enough to
let the Sun fool with the suggestion.
That sort of business will amuse the
Sun, il will not particularly harm Hill,
as we have already pointed out, and it
won't make n particle of difference
to the great democratic party in the
United States.

LII Is COR AlIl

In season and out of season, the New
York san is going TO be- for David u.
Hill as the candidate of the democracy
in 1892. The SIN is anxious to he for
somebody and IL is foolishly frightened
lest it may, in the end, have TO support
Cleveland, If IL intends TO pull with the
party 10 which il claims TO belong.
Under ordinary circumstances the
comment would suggest itself that the
SUMS proiier of support hurts Mr..
Hills chances. But New Works gov
ernor is ~peculiar-he is not easily hurt.
Enough has been industriously pro-
claimed against Mr.. Hill to have killed

Of Mankind.
From the New York World Interview.
The differences between men are inner
cnt. Some are thrifty, ~sagncious, indus
trious, sober, cnterprising; others are
dull, lazy, dissolute and careless. Then
We must admit there is something, which
for want of a better name, we call luck,
so that the dish il always right side up
when ii rains. All men cannot be rich,
famous and happy. There il not enough
TO go round. But the discontinued, the un-
fortunate and the wretched attribute their
calamities to everything else rather than
to themselves. They blame society and
government for their failure, and attrib-
ute the success of their competitors TO
the injustice OF statutes. All that legis-
ton can do Is to protect the weak from
the oppression Of the strong. the poor
against the exactions Of the rich
give ali equal opportunity, equal privi-
leges and an equal chance In the
race of life. The world is steadily inn
proving. The boundaries of human happi-
ness are e~nlarging. The poorest artisan
now has opportunities for enjoyment, for
ness, for the preservation Of health, for
the joy of living that five centuries ago
were beyond the reach Of kings.
Poverty will never be abolished. nor
misery, nor pain, nor disease. They are
inseparable from the state Of humanity.
Were all men contented and secure. pro-
grcss would cease and the race would ex-
pire. The age Is essentially devout and
religious. The mind has been largely
cmancipated from superstition and from
creeds. u has entered upon an excur-
sion that cannot be foretold but that is
certain To he momentous. The authority
Of the church has undoubtedly been
greatly weakened and impaired, but this
does not imply that religion is retrograd-
ing. rs the race advances ii clothes God
with higher attributes and dignifies him
with more lofty functions, because IL is
capable of nobler conceptions. The
gloomy and memorable God of the Puri-
tans has disappeared. He has been sue
cecded by a Supreme Being of infinite
mercy, tenderness and goodness; a ruler,
a law-maker, a legislator, subject to limi-
tations and restraints imposed by his own
PROJECTIONS.
"Thcre was q profound truth in the
declaration of Voltaire hat IL there was no
God It would be necessary for man TO I'M
e n one. This was fiippant, irreverent,
perhaps, but true. God is Indispensable.
Man perceives this, and the higher his
development the more distinct is his per-
ception. The popularity Of Ingersoll and
his school is not an Indication of infidel-
ity, but Is rather the strongest evidence Of
the religious spirit OF the times, its re-
captivity, its eagerness for instruction, its
hunger and thirst for knowledge about
what can never be known. No age has
ever been SO profoundly moved by the
consideration of the problems of the
hereafter as this, and ! have no doubt
hat in esponse TO the search for eternal
truth another Christ will come and an
other revelation be made"

On Forbidden Ground.

From the PHILADELPHIA Times.
Congress has the right, under the Con-
stitution. to establish postofiices aud post
roads: but il is prohibited from making
any law abridging the freedom Of speech
or of the press. The proposition before
congress to establish a p~ostoilicc censor
ship to determine what newspapers shall
he carried i'm the mails, and what news
papers shall be thrust out, according To
the Judgment of postmasters as to the
quality of printed news contained therein,
is an adventure into forbidden ground. An
attempt upon the part of the press Of the
country Ia suppress the congress would
he a much more feasible and lawful I'M
d%ertaking than an attempt in congress TO

What has become of the arrange
ment made by the city councilof Butte,
at a meeting held February ~? On
the evening Of that day the aldermen
committed themselves 10 q plan for the
appointment of policemen which read
thus: "That in the future the advice of
the city marshal shall be asked and
considered in the matter of appoint
ments to the police force
Every member of the council
voted for this arrangement, il was
put in practice, the city marshal S
recommendations were thereafter acted
upon in the appointment of certain
men to the force, and several members
of the council who voted for the plan
and afterwards stood squarely by it
are hold-overs in the present board.
Our recollection is that the plan found
general approval. IL isn't by any
mean the best way TO get a first rate
police force, but it's n mighty improve
ment on the old plan. II the reform is
going TO be thrown out of the council
