STILL ON TRIAL.

Ex-senator ingalls, is reported as saving
that be considers the American Republic
still on trial. Admitting this to be so, the
American Republic has still an advantage
over ope-man governments in the fact that
they have been tried and found wanting.
Government is slipping out of the hands of
kings and into those of the people. Wemay
not be able to deal with problems in ad-
vance, nor to attain the highest possible
standard in the present, but the work of the
people in the way Of self-g0vernment is the
best example of government that history
presents. Let US makeit better, if possible,
and as fast as possible, but let us not think
OF going back to systems the most enlight-
ened part of the world has grown out Of
MIR. ingalls, refers to the failure of prohi-
bition laws to place liquors out of the reach
of the people as one point Of failure of
republican form of government. 1t may be
conceded that in the enforcement of an un-
popular law despOtiSm has certain adj
Yantages over a republic. A desputiSm
always employs standing army, and that
army may he used to compel obedience to
tyrannical laws. In a republic law can go
no farther than it can take the people with
it. Laws enacted against the public will
remain dead-letter on the statute-books.
But it is better that they should remain
dead-letter than that the power should be
held by the Government to enforce laws of
its own creation regardless of the public
good. Whether prohibition will ever be
possible or not is problem. We may have
tolerably good government without giving
it powers that to many seem within its
proper sphere. To what extent natural
rights may be retained by the individual has
not yet been definitely determined. At the
present stage in the science OF government.
the accepted idea is to let people do as they
please so long as in doing SO they do not
trespass upon the equal rights of others to
do as they please. PERHAPS in the next
generation another if not higher plane
may be reached. A majority may surrender
to minority the right to enforce laws based
upon the minority's conceptions OF absolute

HOW IT WORKS.

a London dispatch accounts for the de-
preston in the WOODEN industry in Saxony
through what may be termed natural causes.
The new American tariff had nothing to do
with 1t. The wool manufacturers mistook
the extent of the market open to them, nd
are consequently embarrassed by surplus
OF goods. Free-traders can Of course trace
no connection between the surplus of
WOODEN goods In Saxony and the reduction
OF the export trade to the United States
Tariff men en- the other hand will readily
comprehend that il the United States man
ufactures goods it bad formerly imported

goods would experience some Of the evils Of

A PRETTY coon RECORD.

Pension Commissioner Raum estimates
that 1,20S, 707 soldiers of the Union are now
living, and that 1.0O4, COS soldiers were
killed in battle or have died during the war
and since. The number of surviving SOL
diers now on the pension list and drawing
pensions is 47S 356, and the number of
claims under old and new laws is 34S, I89.
Assuming that these claimants will be sue
ceSsful, S26, 545 Of the surviving veterans
would be supported in part or entirely by
the Government. This is record the coun-
try need not be ashamed Of 1t is a record
no other country can show. When the SOL
der of European countries gets through
fighting the battles of his country he is
turned out to fight for living. Unless a
soldier comes out a complete wreck, the
Government which has exacted the service of
the bestyears OF his life does nothing for him.
The United States is therefore contributing
or shortly will contribute to the support Of
about two-thirds of the soldiers now living
who fought for the Union. The 60. OOO, 900
people in the United States carry the
burden without complaint. Now and then
a DemOc attic journal tries to make political
capital out of our liberal pension laws, but
not much success has attended their efforts.
The people who enjoy the blessings of the
Government the old soldiers fought to pre-
serve are willing 10 pay the price. 1t is
quite true that some OF our early Presidents
did not anticipate the expenditure of so
much money on pensions. President Grant
did not propose 10 make a departure from
the general policy of governments in the
matter of pensions. The Justice of the pro-
vision that has since been made had not
then been much discussed. But if General
Grant had lived to see development of the
pension principle to include all forms of dis
ability arising from service in the war it is
not probable he would have objected to it.
To have said when the Government was
paying Sli0,OOO,OOO in the way of interest on
war debt that as much more would shortly
be needed for pensions would have been
impoitic. The burden would have seemed
greater than the people could bear.

DIFFERENT HEAR.

One individual has heard that the
railroad will not be in till the middle
of October, and an other has heard
that it will be Christmas before the
hills will rcsound with the foot of the
locomotive.
We had a conversation last Friday
with Mr.. Guthrie one of the head
contractors who says that the force
OF railroad graders will be immensely
augmented in the next two weeks
and that the Neihart road will be
completed not later than Sept. 10Th.
He also told the managers of the
Queen that they could depend upon
the use of the NJ. G. Railroad to
bring in their machinery if they did
not receive it by September 10Th
This ought to settle tho question o.

THE STINKING WATER PLACERS.

"Get money; still get money, my
boys: no matter by what MEANS" was
the motto of five sturdy prospe ctors
who recently conceived tile idea
that for them, there was untold
wealth in the Sinking Water placer
diggins. They built sluicc boxes on
the North Fork and began develop
ing their respective claims. They
dug, swore and washed for five long,
weary days, at the end of this time a
division of the precious was made
and each one of the five found that
he was the cnviable possessor of 40
cents. This is making money with
a Vengeance. The above incident was
told me this week, and l have no
a in the world to doubt its
truthfullness. 1t is conceded by all
acquainted with the Sinking Water
country, however, that 1t is rich in
mineral resources. but that it will
take both time and money to devel-
opo them.--Alamo Argus.
