The Speakership and the Ocala Plat
form.

The Speakership and the Ocala Plat
form.
The announcement that Judge CRISP has
been told by certain Alliance men that he
must either mount the Ocala platform or
abandon all hope of being Speaker of the
next House of Representatives is not cal
culated to raise the Alliance leaders in the
estimation of the thinking men of the
country. When il comes to making that
platform a party shibboleth, the Demo-
Gratis will declare that they cannot pause
10 pronounce" the word Alright. That
platform contains not O few utterly intoler-
able blanks, and will never commend
itself TO men who have studied political
economy. 1t demands the abolition OF the
national banks-a measure which has
something in IL TO commend it to public
favor. though it does not by any means
find favor in the eyes Of all Democrats.
But il also demands that the Government
ehall establish sub-treasuries and lend
money, or rather irredeemable g7eenbacks,
ut per cent. interest per annum upon real
estate security and imperishable farm pro-
ducts-a scheme which is marked by the
Every madness of the moon" II also de-
MAIDS that the per capita Of the circu-
lating medium lie speedily increased to
not less than fifty dollars. 1t also de-
nounces dealing in futures, which de-
nunciation we shall not object to; but we
must add that the most Objectionable sort
of dealing IN futures" we ever read of is
involved in the recommendation to with
hold farm products from the market "for
. rise." 1t also demands the free and un-
limited coinage of silver. which is good
feature Of the Ocala platform. 1t also adj
vocates the prohibiting of alien ownership
Of land. Also graduated tax on incomes.
These two measures We have heretofore
commented upon.
There are other features Of the Ocala
platform, but we have mentioned enough
20 enable every reader to see for himself
that Judge CRISP cannot mount 1t. He
would no longer be o Democrat should he
do so.

OF much value whore there II no power TO
enforce their provisions. The people are
tho Lawmakers. or the politicians will,
like JvIrrs CxsAR, either find or make Q
NAV 10 the accomplishment Of their IA
vorite objects, let constitutions provide
what they may. Kentucky will have such
laws as she desires TO have regardless OF
tho bonds with which the new Constitu-
ton purports 70 have sbackled her limbs.
We do not understand the telegram in
Wednesdays papers stating that the Al
lance had elected only ten OF its candi-
dates for the Legislature over Republican
or Democratic nominees a. contradicting
In ANY respect the telegram in Tuesdays
papers stating that the new Legislature
would be n body Of strong Alliance ten
denotes. In other words, We take it that
the Alliance was strong enough IN few
counties TO stand alone" and did stand
alone in those counties, but in oil the rest
of the State so used its votes as to secure
control Of the Legislature and thereby TO
take 10 itself the work OF constituting the
new Constitutions work whose impor-
lance cannot be over-estimated. We may
soon call attention TO some Of the peculiar
featuees uf that instrument IL we cen lay
our hands upon them.
That the Constitution should have been
ratified by nearly hundred thousand ma
jority whilst the Democratic State ticket
was elected by less than thirty thousand
majority must cause good many would
be leaders in Kentucky to feel as if they
had been sleeping Rip-van-winkle nap.
What were those leaders thinking about
when they so acted as 70 find themselves
led by the "mob" and the Constitution
stronger than all the would-be leaders
combinedl Truly remarkable campaign
was that in Kentucky.

Criminal Expenses.

The average man does not think that he
il ovcrpaid for his services. The common
opinion is that the wage Garner receives
less than his dues. So, too, as to public
servants. Any proposition to reduce their
pay or perquisites meets with great oppo-
sition, and especially from the individuals
concerned.
At the last session of the General Assem-
bly, Of Virginia, though great majority OF
the members were convinced that the
criminal expenses Of the State ought to be
lessened, they either had not the heart to
vote against the pecuniary welfare OF
popular officials. or were dissatisfied with
the measures Of reform proposed. Hence
the project failed.
The same demand for economy is again
made 10y the people, and the Legislature at
its coming session will have the same ques-
tions before 1T, but we hope much now from
the intelligent and laborious work OF the
committees of the two houses, which have
had this subject under consideration. We
shall expect their report not only TO show
where waste of money occurs but how
stop can be put to it. Personal interests
must be put aside for public interests.
For years the mind of the people has
been fixed upon this matter, but concerted
effort and important information have been
lacking. If, however, the forthcoming re-
port presents to the public the facts and
figures in good form, we may expect the
two houses to take hold of the subject
with determination which will be salts
fed only with success.
In another direction-that is to say in
some organizations of farmers-a move
ment is being made to have the laws so
amended as TO require of each State insti-
tuition an annual itemized statement OF
expenses. This is matter which was dis
oussed at the last legislative session, and
some action was taken, but 1t seems not
to have been very satisfactory.
We know of no institution where the
managers should have any other objection
to the scheme than the additional work
and cost imposed. and these would proba-
bly, be much less than most people sup
pose. The annual reports of some cities
that come here contain theseitemized state
ments. and they are not very bulky. We
Judge that in many cases less valuable mat
ter might be omitted from the annual re-
ports TO make voom for these.
Popular government is never so safe,

The Kentucky Elections-Again.

The subject Of the results of the cleo
lions Of Monday last in Kentucky cannot
be otherwise than interesting to all the
politicians; and as these are said to
constitute o very large proportion of the
adult male population of Virginia. We can
no, go amiss In adding few words to what
We said yesterday touching those results
and their significance. We must neces-
earily treat the matter in rambling man

The Killing OF Mr.. Cornell.

II Is to be hoped that vigorous measures
have been taken TO bring to the bar OF
Justice the man who gaze to Mr.. CoxsrLL
the wound from which he died yesterday.
To do this there is O joint obligation
upon the county Of Augusta, the Pullman
Company. and the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway Company. but no one OF these
should wait for the Others to act.
No doubt the companies have their
special agents at work at this moment in
ycst,cating as TO their liability TO damages
or 10 blame. but it may not be considered
by them their duty to prosecute a search
for the offender. II their inquiry embraces
this object. too. we shall be glad TO hear it.
Those who pay the Pullman Company for
berths and pull down their curtains and
90 TO sleep. commit themselves to the care
of the conductor and porter. and are en-
titled to have reasonable caution exercised
In their behalf. In this instance it does
not appear that Mr.. CoNSgLL got the
safety that he had right to ex-
pect. We are told that man came
into the car and first opened the cur
tains OF O lady's berth, and finding
her awake and prompt TO call for her
father, made an excuse and went off TO
Mr.. CoNNELL's berth and demanded OF him
his money, but cot kick instead. En-
ragged at this, he proceeded to shoot Mr..
CoxxELL. and then easily made his escape.
Mr.. CoSSHLL was vouched for as gen.
tleman. He made his statement few mo
ments after the pistol-shot was heard.
That an intruder was in the car at the time
In question is thus proved both by tho
lady and Mr.. CoSNEIL. We know there
are some theories afloat which do not quad
rate with Mr.. CoSNEIL's account, but so
far they are unsupported by any facts
brought to public notice. Though search
was made in the car. no pistol was found; ;
and hence it is argued that the robber-
assassin went of with 1t in his hand. 1t
Is supposed that he entered and left the
sleeper by the back door. which was found
unlocked. Now here was fault charge
able to somebody; though we shall not
undertake to fix 1t upon either tue Pull
man Company or the railroad company.
The orders are that this door shall be kept
locked, but it may have been left unlocked
by the brakeman of the train, who has &C
cess TO il on needful occasions.
We are not attempting TO decide
this question; let it pass now. We are
more interested in rousing all parties con-
cerned TO efforts to secure the capture Of
the murderer.
County and companies should act to-
Cether with all possible zeal to accomplish
this end.
