Fresh Neurasthenic Terms.

Some remarkable words are being add
ed to the English language as the result
of the development of specialism in the
treatment of nervous diseases. Among
the latest of these made to order neuras-
thenic terms are 'agarophobia, the fear
of public places; "batophobia," the fear
of the collapse of high buildings, and
''pantophobia," the dread of everything
possible. There are things in this world
of ours besides politics that would as
tonish Thomas jefferson if he could
come to life again.

well as could be expected. Carroll

towards or-What?

The Democratic party has a diem
ma before it from which there is no
escape. If the Democratic press and
orators have told the truth, then it
is the obvious duty of the party to
rescue the country from the evils in
which Democrats say the nation has
been plunged under Republican rule.
To shirk such an obvious duty would
be cowardice baser than that Of a
runaway from the field of battle.
Assuming that the men who made
gross charges against the Republican
party are not set OF knaves, then it
is to be presumed that they believed
what they said to be true. If they
believed it to be true, they would be
guilty of despicable treachery not
to right the wrongs they allege to
exist.
The Republican party turns over
the country, as it not only believes
but knows, happy, prosperous, and
flourishing. From the 4th of March
next the Democrats will be in abso-
lutte control. For any changes for
the worse that party will be response
BILE. The Democracy has declared
its ability to make changes for the
better. Let it try, or else confess
that the late election was carried by
fraud, bunco, and falsehood, une-
qualed even in the annals of Demo-
cratic campaigning.

newspaper consent that Mr.. Harrison
will leave the presidential chair with
out stain on his official life. He
has universal respect. His formal
state papers are in an elevated strain,

on record as unsurpassed in thought
and diction by any predecessor. He

nifty and ability. He will retire with

eign commerce grow Is to watch
closely those lines along which it is
disposed to grow, and to conserve
every such tendency, not to inter
rupt it by legislation that removes
the condition of its growth.
Shall we have foreign trade with
the nations that are anxious to in
crease our markets, or with those that
are anxious to invade our markets?
That is a question with which the
conservative business men of the
country will soon be confronted.

Call That Extra Session.

The Democratic leaders are already
in a quandary. They have appealed
to the passions of the ignorant and
have won victory far beyond their
own expectations and they are not
happy. What they wanted was not
tariff reform, nor free trade, nor wild
cat money, but Office. They had
hoped that the Senate would have re-
manned Republican, in which case they
could have proposed the most radical
measures to please the mass of the
party, and these being promptly
squelched by the Senate, they could
have turned to the country and have
exclaimed: There, you see it is not
our fault! We did our best"
Now, however, the road is clear be-
fore them and they must act, and
they are already at skies and sevens
as to how they shall act The party,
led by the Southern Bridgdiers, clam
ors loudly for an extra session in Or
der, as their leader, Henry Waiter
son, said, ito uproot and rip up all
vestige of protection with every cir
cumstances of infamy." The other
party wants to go slow, to be careful
and conservative, and to do nothing
until the next Congress meets in De-
cember, 1893. Now, without regard
to politics or partisanship, what is
best for the country?
Surely to know what the definite
purpose Of the Democratic party is
with regard to the tariff.
If the Democrats do not touch the
tariff till the next Congress convenes
it will be late in the spring of 1894
before they can pass any bill. This
means nearly two years of uncertainty
for the business world, and that
means an absolute stoppage of all
enterprise. No man will buy more
than his immediate needs. No man
will start factory, order new ma
chinery or take the slightest business
risk. No bank will dare continue
giving accommodation to such of its
customers as are manufacturers. No
importer will dare order goods ahead
except on actual orders from the
most responsible firms. A contrac-
ton of the volume of business done
will take place such as this country
has never seen before.
II the Democrats wish to avoid
precipitatinR an industrial panic
within nine months let them call an
extra session and let the country, the
manufacturers and importers know
exactly what they have to expect.
Call that extra session.

AModern Belisarius.

A Modern Bel1Sor1u8s
An ex-soldier writing to the Chica-
go Inter Ocean, says:
Belisarius was the greatest general of
the Byzantine Empire. At the age OF %
he won a great victory over the Per-
slams and crushed rebellion against
Justinian. At % he conquered Carthage
and carried away captive the Vandal
king. He defended Rome for a year
against the entire power Of the Goths.
captured Ravenna, and with it the
Gothic king So great was his skill and
heroism that the OstrogOths wished to
acknowledge him Emperor Of the West. "
His loyalty to Justinian never wavered.
He led Justinian's army in five more
campaigns against the Goths. His own
country being invaded and Overrun by
the Northern barbarians he was called
upon to organize an army and drive
them back into their own countries.
This he did, and as reward for this and
other historic achievements Justinian
coniscated the old hero's property and
threw him into prison. He was finally
released from prison, but his eyes were
put out and from that time until his
death he wandered sightless and home
less through the country that he had
spent his life in defending.
Belisarius is true symbol of the Re-
publican party. The cartoonist should
use his picture instead of the ele-
.phant.
The Republican party commenced its
career by crushing out rebellion
against its sovereign-the people. 1t

stood like a wall between the workmen
of the United States and the almost
pauper labor Of the over crowded coun-
tries Of England. It has raised up and
organized new fields Of industry for the
people. 1t has given such prosperity to
the country as no other nation in all
history can show. It has compelled
the respect of all foreign countries.
And now, while engaged in completing
the browning work of establishing the
commercial independence, its sovereign

power, and cast it out as unworthy Of
confidence as reward for its heroism

The sovereign people have chosen that
political giant, that intellectual microbe,
that malignant defamer of the soldier.
to succeed the soldier statesman; and a
political assassin instead Of one of the
ablest diplomates Of the day.

tunity to show dishonor to the soldier Of

who fought against the Union. The
peoples Endorsement Of Mr.. Cleveland
dishonors every man who wore the
blue, living and dead. Sons have dis
honored their fathers who gave up their
lives for the country. Treason is ex-
allied and loyalty is an illusion.
Belisarius is stripped of all power. It
only remains to assume the payment of
the Confederate bonds and he is sight
less. An old, blind, battle-scarred vet
eran, the by-word Of nations, a subject
for the sneers of all the outcasts which
the slums of Europe have vomited upon

The First scream of the wildcat.

All through the recent campaign
there was a studied effort On the
part of the Democracy to cover up
and brush aside as an unmeaning bit
of platform buncombe the State
bank money plank. The people
would seem to have seen in the wild
cat, so conspicuously displayed by
the Republican press and speakers
only spook. The apparition was
treated as merely the ghost of a wild
beast slain by the war, as extinct
and harmless as the veritable Wild
cat of the animal kingdom. In
pioneer days this and other wild
beasts prowled about the cabin and
roamed the woods and prairies, caus-
ing a great deal of apprehension and
some loss of life, but they have dis
appeared, no more to return forever.
Those, however, who thought that
the wildcat of State bank bills be-
longed to the past only would do well
to note this fact: One of the first
acts of the first Legislature to meet
after the election was to take steps
toward the carrying out Of the pledge
to repeal the 10 per cent. prohibitory
tax, which would be the uncaging Of
the wildcat. In the Georgia Legis-
lature, just after the election, one Of
the members promptly introduced a
resolution calling upon the Dem
ocracy to fulfill that repeal pledge.
Every Populist voted against it, but
it passed both houses. A Washing
ton dispatch says, in commenting
upon this fact:
There are probably dozen bills which
have been introduced in the present
Congress for the repeal of the 10 per
cent. tax on State banks. Senators
Daniel, of Virginia, and Vance, of
North Carolina, have been prominent
in advocating these measures. At the
coming sessions some Of these bills will
be pressed, not with the idea that they
can become laws now, but with the
purpose of paving the way for wildcat
currency when the Democrats are in
control of all the branches Of the gov
eminent.
1t will be found that the move
ment is not confined to the South.
There is a dangerously large class of
bankers who long for a chance to
make money by issuing quantity Of
bills in accordance with some of the
many State laws still in existence
under which the old ante-war bills
were issued. According to General
Weaver's uncontradicted charge, a
committee of New York City bankers
waited on Mr.. Cleveland short time
before the election in Endorsement of
that plank, and to assure themselves
that he would, if elected, sign a re-
peal bill. They knew, without wait
ing on him, that President Harrison
would allow his right hand to be cut
off before he would sign any such bill.
The only hope of protection from
such a bill is in the Peoples party
element in the Senate, and how much
reliance can be placed upon that bull
Wark is an open question.
