Henry Watterson on Senator Hoar.

Henry Watterson, the brilliant editor of
the Louisville (Ky.) Courier Jourmql, thus
pays his respects to Senator Hoar, of Mass,
who is pressing, with might and main, the
passage of the Force Bill
And SO Senator Scrooge sits unmoved
amid all the happy suggestions OF these
Christmas days. His hate is implacable.
He dreams of strife, of midnight raids, of
the right red arm raised to slay. He smiles
as he dreams of sectional hatreds perpetual
ed, of partisan malice growing more malig-
nant, of race animosities deepened and
strengthened. He warns his stffened fin.
gers over the imaginary fires of burning
cabins, and glosts like some evil spirit over
the ruin which in his political career he has
ever wrought. The ghost of Sumner comes
to rebuke him, and he derides it. The
ghost of Greeley roams the world unresting,
pleading in noble measures for better
Union, for peace and patriotic devotion to a
common cause, and Senator Scrooge heeds
him not. Even the ghost of Lincoln comes
and whispers: "We are not enemies, but
friends; we must not be enemies. Though
passion has strained it must not break our
bonds of Affection" and the saturnine old
Senator is only moved to say: "Bah! What
nonsense is all this about Christmas and
good will and affection! The South has not
been punished enough! Heat seven-fold
the fires of its Affections"

''Aunt Polly Warner reported to us to-day

THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

In the signs of the times and in the re-
suit of thei late State campaign tie demo
cracy of Pennsylvania must find hope and
inspiration. Nowhere has the constituencies
of the people on questions involving right
and wrong been better illustrated than
here. At the head of your State govern
ment there will soon stand disciple of
true democracy, elected by voters who
would have the right and not the wrong
when their consciences we're touched -
Though there have existed here conditions
and Influences not altogether favorable to
an unselfish apprehension of the moral at
tributes of political doctrine, believe that
if these features of the principles Of true
democracy are persistently advocated, the
time will speedily come when, as in day,
the patriotic hearts of the people of your
great Common wealth will be stirred to the
support of cur cause.
1t remains to say that in the midst of our
rejoicing and in the time of party hope and
expectation we should remember that the
way of right and jus ice should be followed
as a matter of duty and regardless Of i'm
mediate success. Above all things let us
not for a moment forget that grave re-
spoosibilities await the party which the
people trust, and let us look for guidance
to the principles of true democracy, which
''are enduring because they are right and
invinc bic because they just"

OPPRESSION OF THE FARMER.


When we see our farmers in distress and
know that they are not paying the penalty
of slotbfulness and Encouragement; when
we see their long hours of toll so poorly rs-
Quilted that the money lender eats out their
substance, while for everything they need
they pay tribute to the fsvsrites of gov.
ornamental care, we know that all this Is far
removed from the encouragement of agri-
culture" which our creed commands. We
will not violate our political duty by for
getting how well entitled our farmers are
to our best efforts for their restoration to
the independence of a former time and to
the rewards of better days.
When We see the extravaganza Of public
expenditure fast reaching the point of reck-
less waste, and the undeserved dist, ibution
of public money debauchipg its recipients,
an1 by pernicious example threatening the
obstruction Of the love and frngslity ama-g

The Force Bill.

We do not believe that the Force Bill is
yet dead, and that its advocates will again
call it up in the Senate. We do not think,
however, that they will be able to bring it
to vote, but if they should succeed in
reaching vote, we incline to the opinion
that they will pass it.
The Baltimore Sun of the 10th inst, says
that 'the Democrats of the Senate are still
afraid that by hook or by crook the force
bill will again be brought forward during
the present session. If it is gotten before
the Senate they fear that it will be passed.
Republican Senators who favor its passage
feel differently about it. They fear it is a
s'back number" The vote by which the
finance bill was taken np-to the prejudice
of the force bill-does not measure, it is
said, the whole opposition to the latter.
There were opponents of the force bill who
did not vote to take up the finance bill be-
cause they were opposed to the free coin
age of silver and the other things the fl
nance bill meant. On a straight vote on
the force bill itself there would be, it is as
serted, more than eight Republican Sena-
tors voting against it. This would be all
very satisfactory if known to be true"
