President Harrison has now been in
the south owe a week. He has toured
from Washington City to Ell Paso,
Texas, a distance of $500 miles. He
has stopped at every large city in his
course, and at scores of small ones AT
each one Of these he has met with null
titudes of people, gathered there to do
homage to the chief executive of the
government. Every where he has re-
ceived the respect, the acclaim, the
hospitality of the southern people.
Doors have been thrown wide open
at his approach, and cities have We'd
with each other to do him the extreme
of honor. And yet in all this time, not
in any of these gatherings have there
been presented to him any memorial
or complaint by any one class, of unfair
or unjust treatment by the other. Mr..
Harrison has, in his short, train plat
form speeches, frequently reminded
the people he has met in the south OF
the beauty and justice of majority rule,
but if, as republicans claim, the minori-
ty in the south is ruling unjustly the
majority has not so expressed itself to
the republican chief executive; and as
far as appearances go, there is 10 such
condition rs was claimed in order to
drive republicans to the support of Mr..
Harrison's force bill. If President Har-
rison is open at all to conviction he
he should by this time be fully convinc-
ed that there is no earthly use for a
force bill in the south.

Some republican members of the
commercial congress at Kansas City
could not stomach the resolutions in
favor of tariff reform and free coinage
of silver, and withdrew from the meet
ing. The fact is, the policy of the
republican party has become so unmis-
takably opposed to the interests of the
masses of the people that a man can
not be a straight republican and an
amicus populi at the same time.
