DENSE IGNORANCE.

A correspondent of THE GAZETTE
writing under date of the 10Th instant
relates an incident which shows that
the ''old forty acres and mule"
phantasy entertained by the freedmen
after the war, has assumed a different
shape in the minds of certain sub
treasuryites who dwell in the neighbor-
hood of Bonham. a thrifty farmer
failing to dispose of lot of surplus
bacoD among his neighbors took it to
iowa and sold it to a merchant. The
following day the farmer observed these
same neighbors purchasing the identi-
cal bacon they had refused to buy of
him from the merchant at an advance
of several cents per pound above the
price at which it had been originally
offered. When asked why was this
thus, the bacon purchasers said they
were sub-treasuryites; that they bought
on credit, no doubt expecting that
before the debt fell due the government
would send money along for distribu-
ton among them and make it easy for
them to pay what they owed. 1t is
difficult TO believe that such dense
ignorance can find Judgment in the
brains OF white men who enjoy the price
less privilege of casting their votes; still
the correspondent who details the Incl
dent is reliable and well informed, and
his picture, even If bit oyerdrawn,
goes TO show how some of the sub
treasuryites are being deluded by their
lna6nrC

TIE suggestion that the Southern
States pension Mrs. jefferson Davis is
one that will not be very favorably re-
ccived. The South has steadily OPP
posed the pensioning of the widows Of
ex-presidents as against the spirit of
the government anu without the war
rant of the constitution, and to PEN
sion Mrs. Davis by the states would
show that their opposition to such &C
ton was not founded upon principle.
We do not know whether the constitu-
tons of the other Southern states offer
any obstacle, but in Texas, at least,
there could be no getting around the
constitutional barrier which stands in
the way of making an appropriation
for pensions TO non-citizens. If the
Southern people want to do anything
for Mrs. Davis they will have to do it

WAR IS on in earnest between the
subs and the ants OF the Alliance
The ants, being thrust out of the meet
ing at indianapolis, have called one Of
their own at Memphis, on the 10th of
December. There the work OF re-cre-
ating and establishing anew the Ali
ance upon purely non-partisan prin-
ciples viii be taken up and carried out
with more courage than was shown at
the St Louis gathering last summer.
With good work, the new organization
will carry on its rolls more Alliance
members within a year from the begin
ming of business than the sub-treasury
organization will have at that time.

CONGRESSMAN CULBERSON puts
himself on record as favoring the cleo
ton OF United States senators by a
popular vote. We're the president and
the Federal senators thus elected, we
would have a more truly republican
government than is the system we now
maintain. To complete the work OF
making the congress and the president
representatives of the people and not
of the states, the senators should be ap-
portioned according to population and
not by states. There is no justice in
giving Nevada'5 10000 population the
same voting strength in one branch OF
the law-makiGg department as New
York's 6,000 600 people have. But as
no state can be deprived OF its repre-
sentation without its consent, this is a
reform that we are not likely to see ac-
complished.

The farmers of Nebraska are beg
ging for food. They say that they were
unable last season to raise seed for the
next years crops. Naturally they ap-
peal to Congress for money aid. They
have been taught to do this by the pro-
tected monOpolists to whom their i'm
poverishment is largely due, If the tax
for their relief could be levied upon
these monopolists there would be poetic
justice at least in its imposition. But
Congress cannot discriminate, and it
has no right to compel one part of the
people to support the other. There is
no doubt that voluntary contributions
will be amply sufficient to relieve the
farmers, and they can only fiLd per
manent relief by doing what they can
to throw off the burdens imposed upon
our foreign commerce, burdens of
which they are the principal Victims
N, Y. World.
