stand as natural barrier between us

their force would not be spent before
they reached the western spurs OF that

With the constant recurrence OF

for they seem to be increasing in num-
Der every year, the farmers in those

PHILADELPHIA Record. !

The politics OF the country is not
without its humorous situations. There
will probably be nothing funnier this
year than the suggestion in of the
Republican newspapers that Mr..
Blaine's reply 10 Mr.. Gladstone's az
gument in the North American Re-
view against protection is Of such
q crushing nature as 10 create alarm
in the Democratic party. The Dem
ocsatic party may feel little dissp-
pointed that Mr.. Blaines reply to the
great Britisher is not in the nature OF
an attempted REPUTATION; but ttat's all.
Il Is case OF the weaker man at the
short end Of the lever lifting against
his stronger opponent. His enemies
are making sport OF Mr.. Blaine. The
suggestion that he needs to be answered

SECTIONAL suBsERvIENCY.

Whenever there is committed at the
South. n crime which is likely 10 at
tract the attention Of the North, either
because il shows the antagonism exist
ing between the races, or because In the
Northern mind it illustrates some sup
posed barbarous idiosyDcracy OF South
ern Society, there is Immediately raised
a tremendous outcry on the part of GER
tain Southern newspapers, with a view,
not so much of expressing their con-
demnation of the crime itself, as OF
deprecating the angry or critical com
ments Of the Northern press. No crimI-
nal event OF unusual importance occurs
in the South that these newspapers do
not look at it, not as our Southern pub
lie sentiments regards it, but rather
from the standpoint Of the BIASED and
discriminating public sentiment OF
the North.
What will the North think? seems to
be the prevailing and controlling ldsa
Of these Southern newspapers under the
circumstances named. Their eager
ness to avert the displeasure and indig-
nation of the North recalls the conduct
of timid schoolboys anxious to depre-
cate the wrath of their teachers. 1t
would be difficult to find more strik-
ing picture of subservient responsive
ness to every crack of the Northern
editorial whip than they present.
Regard for the public opinion OF the
North as part Of the civilized world
is sminently right and proper. but to
attach a value to the public sentiment
Of that section simply because 1t is the
North, is puerile and contemplate.
There is virtue and wisdom enough 10
the South to frown upon every form OF
crime as much as the circumstances
of the case, of which the peo-
pie of the South are the best
iudses, demand. Those who, like
