THE VOICE OF THE PEoPLE.-In speakin e
of the wonderful political revolution in the
late election, the N. Y. World says
The result was not due to money. A
whole nation cannot be corrupted.
It was not due to deception. An entire
people cannot be fooled at orce.
It was not due to superior management
on the part Of the democrats. The repub-
lican campaign was far superior at all points.
The overthrow of the republicans was the
result of q popular uprising against higher
taxes and higher prices, against policy OF
force after twenty years of peace. against
recklessness in appropriations that convert
ed surplus into deficiency, against the
encroachments Of plutocracy in the Govern
ment and the buttressing of monopolies
with law.
The result is such that no party could
achieve. 1t is the act of an indignant PEG
pie, asserting their right and proclaimiue
their will.
That settles It.

FAMOUS SOUTHERN POLICIES 1t will be
remembered that the present administra-
ton began with Southern policy" which
was to attract Southern democrats with
protectionist leanings into the republican
party by giving them Offices. Congress,
too, had its ''Southern policy" which was
to put the registration, counting and certi-
fication of votes in the South into the hands
of republican partsans by means of force
bill. How have the two policies PANIED
out? In the present Congress before any
democrats were unseated there were 90
republican Congressman from the South,

Congress there will be but five, and possi.
bly, rot over four. Somebody has blum

HOME INFLUENCE.

A country broad and new, to be subdued
to the purposes of mans existence, and
promising vast and independent resources,
and people intelligently understanding the
value of free nation and holding fast to
an intense affection for it's history and its
heroes have had much to do with molding
our American character and giving it hardi.
hood and vigor. But it should never be
forgotten that the influence which, more
than all other things, has made our people
safe depositaries of governmental power,
and which has furnished the surest guaranty
of the strength and perpetuity of the re-
public, has its source in the American
home. Here our patriotism is born and en-
twines itself with the growth of fillal love,
and here our children are taught the story
of our freedom and independence. But,
above all, here in the bracing and whole
some atmosphere of accomplishing frugal
ity and economy, the mental and moral at
tributes of our people have been firmly knit
and invigorated. Never could it be said of
any country 80 truly as of ours that the
permanency of its institutions depends up
on Its homes.
