POLITICAL COMMENT.

sB Day by day it becomes more GER
tain that the Democratic war cry of 1892
will be free silver, free trade and free
whisky" The nickname Of the "calam-
ity party will be quite appropriate for
the Bourbon reactiGnaries. Toledo
Blade.
EYA Wisconsin farmer who voted
the Democratic ticket last fall because
the Mckinley bill would make things
higher now hides behind the straw
stack when he is offered three cents
more a pound for his crop of tobacco on
account Of the tariff.-Chicago Journal.
EB 1t is true, as Senator Edmunds
says, that the common parliamentary
law forbids any man to speak ''super-
fiuously or tediously;" but it has never
been strictly enforced, for the obvious
reason that most of the Democratic
Senators would thereby be condemned
to perfect silence at all times.-St.
Louis sGlobe-Democrat.
sB- Democratic stealing seems to be
contagious Now it is said that no less
than thirteen county treasurers in
Arkansas are short in their accounts by
amounts varying from one hundred
dollars to one thousand dollars. This
is natural enough in a State which has
twice been defrauded by its State
treasurers within short time.-Toledo
Blade.
EY The Democrats are coming up to
the full measure of their agreement to
support and protect Don Cameron to
the National Senate and Pennsylvania's
Legislature in the silver speculation for
his vote for free coinage and against
the elections bill! What an astounding
record the reform" Democracy are
making in stealing from State and
county treasures and in ''boodling" in
State and National legislation!-Iowa
State Register.
1t is quite possible that the Demo
cratic party may acquire temporary
advantage by this great wrong, but it
is a hazardous business and somebody
will pay the penalty for the mistake in
due time. We have had some expert
ence in following the lead of Demo
cratic statesmen in their attempts to
upold and extend the system of human
bondage that they might thereby keep
themselves in power. Are we to enter
upon another kindred experiment under
the same sort Of eounsel?-Milwaukee

THE EFFECT IN THE SOUTH.
Results of the Failure to Pass the Election
Bill.

Bill.
Some of the Representatives of the
Southeastern States in Congress have
painted in lurid colors the effects of the
proposed Federal elections bill on what
they call their section" They seem
to have scared few Republicans and
all the mugwumps into the belief that
the passage of the bill would inaugur-
ate reign of terror in those States.
But who has considered what will be
the effect in the rebelious States of
failure to pass this bill?
Such failure will confirm the rebels
in their belief that 1.-The South is in the
saddle" again. 1t will give new inn
petus to intimidation, boycotting,
cheating, false counting and murder. 1t
will convince the oligarchs of the
Southeastern States that the United
States Government will interfere
with their nefarious schemes no more,
free hand to run" things just exactly
as they please. 1t will give new inn
pulse to the numbering of post-masters
and United States marshals. 1t will en-
courage the Southeastern people to
hope that they may be at last entirely
rid of what they call the hateful
hirelings" of the Federal Government.
There are good many Republicans
still left in the Southeastern States.
They have stood up through all manner
of persecution for what they believed
to be right. They knew that the card
inal doctrine of the Republican party
was free ballot and fair count, and
they believed it would never falter in
its devotion to that doctrine. They are
unanimously in favor of the elections
bill, and they regard the prospect of its
failure with feelings akin to despair
They know, as Northern Republicans
do not and can not know, what fail
| ure of the bill means.
| 1t is as much as any mans life is
worth now in many parts of Florida,
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louis
lana, Texas and Arkansas to be an ac-
tive Republican. If the elections bill
fails, all hope of any possible
justice for Republican voters will
be gone, and there viii be no pos
sible incentive for Republicans in any
| of the rebellious States even to go to
| the polls, much less to court assassina-
tion by trying to organize and keep
alive the Republican party in their dis
| tricts.
| There are no State elections now in
most of the States mentioned. If, this
bill fails there will be no elections for
Congress or for President. The whole
Southeast will be run by Democratic
caucuseS.
| The effect of all this on the material
prosperity of that section" can not fail
to be bad No Northern man cares to
invest his capital, much less to make his
home, in a State where he is taxed alb
solutely without representation. If the
Southeast could only see it, it is to
/ their interest, material as well as moral,
| to hold fair elections. But experience
alone will teach them this. They have
| become SO used to oligarchy that a Re-
publican form of government is abhor-
rent to them. If the elections bill
should pass, it would help the Southeast
more than any other measure that could
be put on the statute books; if it fails,
they must dree their own weird.-N. Y.
