SHALL MAJORITIES RIFLE ?

In his great message to the people
Thomas Jefferson declared one cardi-
nal and fundamental principle of
democracy:
THE absolute acquiescence in the
decision of the majority, the vital prin-
ciple of republican government, from
which there is 40 appear but force"
There is a growing disposition on the
part of a few democratic papers in the
west to waive the silver coinage question
for fear of party division over it.
Senator Mcpherson, of New Jersey,
says it cannot become n national party
question, because the democracy are
divided over it. Many democrats in the
east and q few in the west talk in SIM
liar strain.
Eight years ago the party was fully as
much divided OH the tariff question as it
is now upon that of silver. AS long as
the majority listened to the advice of
timidity, no Roadway was made in either
reaching Il solution of the veXed ques-
ton or %sOlidifYing the party. Finally
the majority asserted its power, and to-
day the party is practically a unit in
favor of tariff reform.
Last year and this, thirty states have
held democratic conventions and have
given expression on the cOinagequestion.
OF these twenty-seyen have declared in
favor of silver coinage, two have strad-
died the question, one has spoken fatty
against it. The other states have held
no conventions, but it is well known
chat of these. Alabama and Washington
favor it,.
1t is safe to say that in twenty-nine
states the cause of free silver coinage is
very strong with the democratic masses
II is granted that i'll the other states
even including Minnesota, Wisconsin
and North Dakota, Il majority of The
party is opposed to it.
In 1883 the states that are known t.
favor silver coinage cast Il total demo
cratic vote of 3~,624.O97. Add Washing
ton, since admitted, and we have a dem
Ocratic vote favoring silver of 3,63S.S29
IN those states that oppose silve
coinage the democratic vote is ,37l ,03S
The states that favor silver coinage
gave Cleveland one hundred and forty
two electoral votes. Those which OpposI
silver gave him but twenty six.
The unChanging strength, the bul
wark Of the democratic party, is in thu
states that favor silver coinage.
The question is shall the minOrit,
yield absolute acquiescence in the de
cision Of the majority or shall the right
Of majority rule he surrendered?

nh MILLS 10 IT ALP

The st. Louis Republic gives Roger
z. Mills, of Texas, Il great send off for
the speakership, claiming that he is the
embodiment of the tariff reform cause,
the issue that gave the democracy so
splendid IL victory last year.
The INTELLIGENCER'haS no objection
10 the Republic splitting itself wideopen
in Mr.. Mills behalf. 1t has''dOne all it
could to kill off Mr.. Mills opponents,
and in its own estimation, having sue
cacded in doing so, it is very natural it
should raise ii great cacklc over the only
candidate left, especially as it is almost
solely and strictly its candidate.
But wherein is Mr. fAIilis the expo
ucnt OF tariff reform any more than
many ether good and sensible demo-
Gratis?
Mr. Mills, it is true, as chairman of
the ways and means committee, intro
duced a tariff bill in congress. The party
went into the campaign of 1883, with
this bill for Il platform, and suffered a
most ig~uomini0us defeat.
Last year the republican party went
into the campaign with the Mckinley
bill AZ its platform and it in turn sui
icrcd . tremendous drIIbbing.
It was not, as the Republic would
have Us understand. the beauties of
Millai5m that contributed to the cleo
ton Of 50 many democrats last year. 1t
was the ugly phases of McKinIryism,
aud the democrats could make no better
wish than that the republicans would
present q e tariff law every two years.
IT is Ii thing To write ana speak in
favor OF tariff reform. 1t isquite amoth-
Cr 10 form IL bill that will stand the test
Of criticism, and so fully meet the wants
Of The people as to receive at once their
unqualified sanction.
Mr.. Mills bill. in the estimation Of
many people, was Il most excellent meas
ure. In the minds of others it was a
very pernicious piece of legislation. At
least that was the way the two parties
viewed it. When an estimate was made

Both divisions are members OF the Order
of American Firemen and Of the South

to successfully combat tine fire fend, and
their courage and ability TO do so have
been fully attested IN several occasions.
Miss Jennie Berrie is the city's post
mistress. Previous to her appointment
