Governor HILL Is going to theIWest next
month, and they are all goose flesh lest the
West should como to Governor HILL. Some
OF them seem inclined to forbid his going. All
OF Thorn are agGrieved. They feel that he
has no right to go. Indeed, We suppose they
believe that he has no right to exist.
A few years ago the free traders made

OF the East ind West as one 81 tho best no,iti-

honor of disco, ering Governor Hll's sterling

Americas coming and desc wing men.
Governor Hill will come in o the next National
Convention with the united and solid delegation
from New York and q strong following from

An important occasion, replete with patri-
otto interest and especially cheering to citl-
zens of strong and enduring party con-
victions, will be the formal unwilling OF
the HENDRICKS monument in Indianapolis
on Tuesday next. Governor HILL, Gen
SICKLEs, and other eminent Democrats from
this State and elsewhere will take part in
the ceremonies.
The record of THOMAS A. HENDRICKS, emf
nent among the Democrats OF the Western
States, forms an interesting link between
the great traditions of the party in the past,
and its glorious destiny for beneiiccnt pub
lie service in the future. This Is especially
true at a time like the present, when the
Democracy, containing within its ranks
a clear majority Of the voters of the
country finds itself deprived OF the
functions which belong to the domi-
nant American party, and shorn alike OF
It's laurels and its opportunities for USE
fulness on account OF the temporary sur
render Of its principles and the placement
OF its leaders and its aims at tho demand OF
handful OF its traditional opponents. En-
cluded for years from power in the nation
through prejudice. corruption, force, and
finally fraud, the fruits OF its long-delerred
triumph in 1884 were cast aside when
within easy reach; and now in 1890
just midway between two Presidential
contests, the party finds itself both
admonshcd and encouraged by this trlb-
ute to the fame and memory of man
who was indeed Democrat in all the
relations of his public life. Born in Ohio
but residing from early manhood in Indiana
he WAS from tho date of his first election in
1850 to remodel and improve tho Constitu-
ton Of the Hoosicr State to the day of his
death in 1885, when he was Vice-Presidcnt
OF the nation, an able and unfaltcring udvO-
cate and representative OF Democracy.
After having been elected to Congress In
1851. he was appointed Commissioner of the
Land Oflco under n Democratic President
From 1868 to 1869 he was u Democratic
United States Senator from Indiana, OLIVER
+. MOTIONS colleague and opponent. In the
national Convention OF 1868 he was through
many ballots, the leading candidate for tho
Democratic nomination for President; and
after the unfortunate collapse Of the GREE
LEY and BkUwN canvass In 1872, and the death
Of Mr. GREELEY, Mr.. HENDRICKS who had
meanwhile boen elected Governor of Indiana)
was chosen to receive the electoral votes cast
by those States which the Democrats had car
lied. He held. with conspicuous success, the
Office OF Governor of Indiana until 1874, and In
1875 was chosen by the st. Louis Democratic
Convention to the second place on the Presi-
dental ticket with Governor TILDEN. He
was elected Vice-President OF the United
States In 1876. but through the frauds
Of the Returning Board iniamy was
deprived OF the Office. Like Mr. TIL
DEN no was not candidate before the nom
mating Convention at Cincinnati In 1880;
but at the Chicago Convention OF 1884
Mr. HENDRICKS was a candidate strongly
favored by those who believed in the
fundamental principles OF Democracy. and

The honors which Emperor WILLIAM has
bestowed upon WIssMANN have undoubtedly
been we'll earned by the man who Is Germany's
foremost African explorer. There are few mon
whose discoveries in Africa cover so wide
portion OF that continent WIssMANN was the
srst to cross the central portion Of the Congo
basin far south OF the main river. 1t was he
who treated Reographers to q great surprise
when he traced the Kassai River to it's union
with the Congo and founi it emptying into the
great river far west OF the supposed point OF
confluence. 1t was he who discovered that tho
large Sankuru River is an aflluent Of the Kas-
sal instead OF the Congo. and that 1t affords q
splendid navigable waterway to Central Africa
Like STANLEY, he has made two trips across
the continent but both oil WIssMANN's journeys
were from west to east.
WIssMANN was an unknown Lieutenant in the
German army ten years ago. but his work In
Africa since then has made him famous. He
Is now only 81 years old. Having shown that
he has high qualities not only as an explorer,
but also In military and administrative ca
pacity. Africa, whore he made his name. will
doubtless be tho scene Of his future work.

Weak Democracy in the Supreme Court

Weak Democracy in the Supreme Court
One notable circumstance connected with
the recent OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES decision Of the
Supreme Court Of the United States, seems
to have escaped public attention. The de-
csion was rendered by divided court. In
the majority, which pronounced the power
OF the Federal Government paramount were
all the Democratic members, Judge FIELD,
Judge LAMAR, and Chief Justice FULLER.
The minority, which insisted upon the rights
Of the several States to regulate the liquor
traffic for themselves irrespective OF the
control Of Congress over Interstate COM
mercc, consisted OF Justices GRAY, HARLAN,
and BREWER, all Republicans.
Tho title of the case was LEIsY against
HARDIN. 1t is officially reported in the first
pamphlet number OF the 135th volume OF
United States Reports, just issued. The
opinion OF the court was written by the
Chief Justice. He holds that the power
which the Constitution grants to Congress
to regulate commerce among tho States Is
exclusive; that ardent spirits. distilled liq-
uors ale and beer are recognized generally
as subjects OF barter, exchange, and traffic;
that In the absence of legislation on the part
portation from abroad or from another
State; and that when thus imported. no
State can prohibit the sale thereof in the
original package or packages.
This ID the doctrine OF Federal centrallZa-
ton In the most emphatic form. 1t is con-
trury to the principles OF constitutional law
heretofore advocated and applied by eminent
Democratic lawyers and Judges Of the high
est standng and that it should find sup
port In the only two members Of the Supreme
Court appointed by a Democratic President
may well excite surprise, especially in view
OF the fact that three Of their ass clates, all
OF them pronounced Republicans, dissent
from the prevailing judgment, and not Only
declare, but, rs 1t seems to us, clearly dem
orStrate that State las the constitutional
right to prevent the sa!e Of any liquor within
It's borders, whether imported md sold in
the original package or not.
In order 10 hold otherwise, Chief Justice
FULLER. and the judges who Concurred with
him, found IL necessary to oycrrue deci-
sion pronounced by the Supreme Court Of
the United States through 30 good n Demo-
craL MS Chief Justice TANEY, and which has
