RESULTS OF A BEAsTLY MAJORITY.

Often the complaint is made that
Texas is cursed with a too unwieldly
Democratic majority for the welfare OF
the state. Where Democratic nomi-
nation. they say, guarantees election to
office, the party is not so careful in the
selection of its candidates as would be
the case If the contest were doubtful.
where the best men have to be put up
in order TO win.
This sounds well enough, but we can
not see where Texas has suffered on
account ofits ''beastly" Democratic pro-
pensity. No rottenness pervades the
atmosphere of the administration which
was elected by $4,000 majority. The
offices of state are filed with men
of approved ability, competence and
honesty. No scandal has disgraced
any Democrat administration in Texas
since the war. Not a cent has been
LOST to the state by defalcations, and
the only charge of that nature is now
laid against a minor official, who owed
his place TO appointment and not to
election by that one-sided vote.
Indeed, it seems that the close states
are those that suffer most by malad-
ministration. No New York legisla-
ture is without its scandals, investigat-
ing committees, and foul disclosures.
Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisi-
ana, Pennsylvania, and several other
states whose majorities for this or that
party are not more than tenth OF the
''beastly" Texas affair, have state
treasurers in the penitentiary. abroad
without leave. or under indictment for
making away with state funds running
up into the millions. The Colorado
legislature, just adjourned, was bought
like sheep, and bribery was SO common
and everybody was so tainted with it
that hardly an attempt was made at
concealment. a California legislative
Investigating committee reports that
large sum of money was used in the
late senatorial election in the securing
OF votes. Connecticut has an acting
governor whose term was out three
months ago, who is holding the place
without law or right.
Looking all around at our neighbors,

But may not employees of corporations,
as OF individuals, exceed or ignore
their Instructions? And should more
be expected of corporations than OF in
dividuals in cases of such neglect to

the popular mind against corporations,
but is it not fair and just to assume for
them and to demand Of them no more.

THE FARMERS ARE OPPRESSED.

In discussing the Alliance move
ment, which may now be considered
| as the farmers movement for relief
from burdens and conditions that op-
| press. there should be due considera-
ton of the causes that have con-
spired to extend the organization from
West Texas to all sections Of the
Union. And in debating the propo-
sitions submitted to the Alliance as
measures OF relief from burdens grown
intolerable there should be patience,
justice, charity and patriotism, OF all
those who have suffered from the
iniquities OF national legislation for the
past quarter OF century the farmer
has suffered most, and SO grievously
has the farmer suffered that to-day
this republic is confronted with the
peril Of a degraded and debased ag-
ricultural class. No patriotic Ameri-
can can Shut his eyes to this peril,
and every patriotic American should
address himself to the task of pre-
venting such calamity to the re-
public.
Long oppressed and blinded by
the sectionalism which was kept
alive for purely partisan purposes, it
is not to be wondered at that desper-
ate remedies have appealed TO the
farmer in throwing OFF the yoke OF
party or that charlatans and lily
tongued adventures have been en-
abled TO ingratiate themselves with
men oppressed to despair and to de-
ceive. mislead and betray. To men
who have suffered for quarter OF
a century, who have listened to high
sounding appeals to loyalty and been
seduced with the rhetoric of ''protec-
ton to American labor and home
market for the American farmer"
who have suffered and listened all in
vain until wreck and ruin and debase-
ment stare them in the face, the sub
treasury scheme seems practical re-
lief and every quack and politicaster
a statesman. The farmer is desperate
because agriculture is in desperate
condition. and desperate men catch
at straws.
Patriotism demands patience in
dealing with the farmers movement,
and those oily-tongued barnacles who
have fastened themselves onto the
movement. The American farmer
must not be enslaved through legisla-
ton, and to the end that he may not
be every patriot will consider with
justice and deep concern the demands
OF the farmer, and by sympathy and
cooperation, eliminate from those de-
mands the schemes that are visionary
and aid the farmer to secure all that
can restore him to his rightful place in
a republic of intelligent freemen.

EX-PRESIpENT CLEVELAND said.
when asked if he would veto free
coinage bill if passed. that that depended
upon the condition OF the country
when such legislation was enacted. II
he thought the condition of business
was such as to demand free coinage, he
would favor ii. But Mr.. Cleveland
failed to answer the direct question.
He does not say whether he would or
would not veto free coinage bill. if
passed by congress. The idea one gets
from reading Mr.. Cleveland's answer
is that the views of the Democratic
party of the country or the Democratic
majority in congress would not affect
his regard for free coinage if he did
not think the country was ripe for it:
or, in other words, he would veto free
coinage bill if he wanted to.
