He is MISTAKEN.

Mr.. Bailey, Of Texas. Is Young, Handsome
and Eloquent, But He Is Mistaken all the
Same.
The handsome young Adonis, of
Texas, Joseph W. Bailey, representa-
tive in congress from the Fifth district,
in discussing government ownership Of
railways, cites the loss to the govern
ment through the postal system as
precedent, and from this fact argues that
necessary loss to the government
would follow its ownership of rail.
ways.
The expenditures Of the post office
department for the year 1891, as shown
by the report Of the postmaster-general
and tsbulated on the Statistical Alb
stract Of the United States" fourteenth
number page s+5, were 1862, $4,000,
and the total revenue Of the depart
ment for the same time was s65, eS1, 1885,
90, showing net loss for the year 1891
Of s, 7So, 67TOO. II Is but fair, however,
to say that it has been the policy of the
government to reduce the rate OF post
age whenever the department be-
came self-sustaining and that under
this policy they have reduced
the rate Of postage from IS cents, which
was very common before the govern
ment took charge of the mails, TO one
or two cents now for carrying the let
tiers TO the most remote corners OF the
nation. This policy has been wise and
beneficial to the whole country and it
would be no argument against govern
ment ownership of railroads, that the
government might, In an effort to give
low rates, run the roads at some loss
which would prove q public blessing
by making as great reductions in rail-
way charges as the government has in
mail charges.
Mr. Bailey is very nice young man,
and handsome, too, and he would much
better depend upon his youth and beauty
to work upa feeling Of sympathy for him
in his desperate and silly efforts in the
last congress to buy popularity by Civ
ing back to Uncle Sam days wages;
he had better depend on such sympathy
than to seek to oppose government
ownership of railways by any lesson,
or statistics he can secure from the
postal system Dallas Tex Southern

SLICED parties which have become mere
political machines for the procurement

hence, with the new issues now con-

party is an absolute necessity.
That this new party of the people is

rectly all the problems before society,
no sensible man will claim, but that it
is modern party, with modern ideas,
honestly devoted to the public welfare,
comparatively free from political super.
stition and prejudices, no candid person
can seriously deny. That it represents
the best thought and conscience and
highest intelligence of any political
party now extant is not to be seriously
questioned. -.--
1t is true that its leaders lacked the
intelligence and courage to take a
sound and logical position upon the two
supreme questions of land monopoly
and taxation, but this was an error Of
Judgment and not lack of patriotism.
With very few exceptions, the lead
ing minds of the party are sound on
these questions, but they very unwisely
mistrusted the intelligence of the masses
and their readiness to accept fight

stitutions.
The difference between republicans
and democrats is only one Of degree,
and not one of principle, and is too
slight to justify changing from one to
the other by a really earnest man.
Neither party proposes to change the
present system which is so rapidly con-
centrating the wealth Of the country in
the hands of the few, except the COM
paratively slight influence which a
modification of the tariff might have in
that direction.
On land, finance and transportation

smaller monopolies, there is but slight
difference between the two parties, and

unequal distribution of wealth which
is making this a nation of princes and

middle class which has been in the past

stability of the republic which no good
citizen and true American can view
without alarm, or fail to raise his voice

neither old party sees anything wrong

The following extract is taken from
a conversation between Josiah Royce
and the prime minister Of Austria, as
told by Mr.. Royce in an article to Serb
ner's Magazine. The prime minister
expressed himself as follows: 81 fear

are in politics. What do not fear is the
people themselves. whenever we'll organ

modern labor questions. For instance,
our laborers have learned that their
own trades unions must exist, not mere
ly for the sake of meeting force with
force, but for the sake Of establishing
fair dealing on fair basis. Our trades
unions have in more than one notable
case disciplined their own members for
unfair dealing toward employers-have
in fact, begun to establish the principle
that laborers organize to protect the so
eial welfare rather than TO gain merely
selfish ends. The aim with us is every

Tho Political situation In the Palmetto
state.
South Carolina has voting popula-
ton Of 10000. This has been divided in
former years about 10000 republican
and 10000 democratic. Two years ago
the alliance took hand in the election
Of governor and the legislature. Mr..
Tillman was the alliance-democratic
candidate for governor. He also re-
ceived the vote of the alliance colored
republicans He was elected and Irby,
Acknowledgement, was sent to the SEN
ate. The contest this year in South
Carolina has been a projection along
the same lines. 1t has been a fight
from the beginning between the demo-
Gratis who follow party dictation
and would bow to Wall street, and
the influence of Grover Cleveland,
and those who would return TO the
Jeffersonian principles, and enforce the
demands of the alliance. The latter
are largely in the majority, and are
waging very aggressive contest in the
Palmetto state. In the late primaries
of the democrats about 10000 votes
were cast of which Mr.. Tillman re-
ceived nearly two-thirds. As the con-
test is shaping he is practically peo-
pies party candidate, and will receive
much of the alliance colored republican
vote. Under these circumstances should
the Cleveland democrats and the Harri-
son republicans combine, they would
still be in the minority by many thou
sand votes From this condition of af-
fairs it does not look much like Cleve-
land getting the electoral vote Of South
Carolina. -Nonconformist.

Old party politicians are looking on
in amazement at the immense strides

of the country. Without question, it is
attracting more attention than both the
old parties They know they have
made the record and that the people
are onto it Through the organiza-
tons both rural and urban, the people
have been made familiar with their I'M
savory record and false pretentions and
are now moving to cleanse the Augean

behold it in every precinct Of the land.

If an elector believes that his coun-
try should be run by the people rather
than by the corporations, the most eff.
fective method of throwing away his
vote is to cast his ballot for either
democratic or republican electors. To
a reformer there can be no significance
in the success Of either of the old par
ties They both stand for special priv
ileges OF few and against the interests
OF the many. They work together
