Again said Weaver to his dupes "Dear
friends, what can l do,

And could not now at this late day ear

"Sweet Friends said the Weaver. "you

You are all great statesmen, see it with

And I'll give each man an Office with pay

"Your cotton will surely bring twenty

Alas, alas, how very strange this silly
little speech,
Could so impress Southern man as to his

But with buzzing tongues they hung about,

Thinking only of his lurid tales of rain

Thinking only of abSurdi ties-poOr foolish

Up Jumped the cunning Weaver, and
fiercely held them fast.
He dragged them down his winding stair

Within his party, hoping they'd ne'er

HOW THE BATTLE WILL BE
New York Sun.]

The deep disappointment which
the elections in Florida and Georgia
have given the Republicans will not
prevent them, of course, from making
strenuous efforts to carry West Vir-
ginia, North Carolina and Alabama.
AT the same time the apologize of the
elections in Florida and Georgia is
plain. 1t is the permanence of polit-
ical forces. 1t tears down rainbows
for both the great parties. 1t shows
that there is no rational ground for the
Republicans to expect conquests in the
South. 1t indicates by the safest
analogy that Massachusetts, and the
Northwest must be left out of account
by the Democrats. The old fight is
to be fought over on the old gound.
New York and Indiana are the CEN
ter of that fight, and the thlckest OF it
is right here in the Empire State.

READ AND REFLECT.

With the Lodge national election
law in full force in the South and va
rious Democratic strongholds up
North, we way confidently look for a
different state of political affairs than
now exists. New York city will then
return several more Republican Con-
gressmen than at present, while more
than twenty negro Representatives
from the South will render the Re-
publican control Of the future Con-
gress absolutely safe and sure. Heavy
taxes should be laid upon the property
of the whites to develop. and extend
the public school system of these
States. Separate schools for the two
races should be abolished, and the
plan of bringing the youth of both
colors into close and equal relation in
schools and churches given fair trial,
as one of the most potent elements to
break down the detestable Bourbonism
OF the South. The State laws against
the inter-marriage of the races should
be repealed, and any discrimination
against the banks in the matter Of
learning trades or obtaining employ
ment should be a criminal ofense,
while the colored mans rights to hold
office should be sacredly protected
and recognized. A few years of this
policy will solve the race problem
satisfactorily. - Washington Cd. CD

By some freak the wisdom and vir-
tue of the State concluded to pigeon
hole the laws enacted by the legisla-
ture till Feb. 1st, 1898, at which time
they are to come in force, when the
session laws will be published in book
form and distributed. Until that time
the newspaper press and the enquir
ing world must remain in blank igno-
rance of what the laws are. No legis-
lator has any definite idea of what
was accomplished and no newspaper
man can ferret out the proceedings
unless the secretary of State shall
kindly complete his work of putting
the laws in shape for type, and leav-
ing them to some editor who will put
them in print without compensation
for his labor, etc. Heretofore small
appropriation sufficient to pay for the
purchase of law supplements has been
made to partially in some cases, and,
perhaps fully in other cases pay
the newspaper man for getting out
the laws in supplements for his read
ers. Now the newspaper man is stuck;
he has no means of getting copy of
the laws and cannot well put them in
print in any reasonable time, unless
somebody shall take the risk to put
them in supplements, and other pub
fishers be to heavy expense to buy
supplements. We cannot understand
why a legislature that has put very
large sums into appropriations of va
ried character, should refuse to pro-
vide means to get the laws before the
people. The press of the state has a
right to complain and to be indignant,
and we think it would be doing JUS
tice to itself to let profound darkness
settle down on the doings of the leg
stature, until such time as a record

1t is indeed significant coincidence
that with the report of the reception
given to Mr.. Cleveland by the Catho-
lie prelates recently there is published
a special dispatch from Roma saying
that ssas soon as Mr.. Cleveland has
been inaugurated the Vatican will op-
en- negotiations for the establishment
of a special United States Legation,
and the reception at Washington of
Papal Nuncio." This may possibly
throw some light on the result of the
last election. AS the Romanists have
been working to this end, they made
sure of their man before they elected
him.
The two or three millions of Roman
ist votes throughout the country were
cast solidly for Cleveland, and the in
fuence of nine or ten millions more
of their adherents among our popula-
ton was solid for him in all parts.
the exceptional cases like Chairman
Carter, Minister Egan and Gen. Ker-
win only prove the general statement.
The Romanists believe in the union
of Church and State, and that the SOW
ereign pontiff on the banks of the Ii
Der should be the head Of both thro'-
out the world; and those of them who
reside in the United States are work
ing as rapidly as possible for that re-
suit.
This is the secret political and moral
influence of which the politicians did
not take account, and which conse-
luently made the election such a sur
prise to both parties.-Mail and Er-

of the work can be hunted out in the
published laws. The vt. Wdtchnadn
in commenting on the matter says:
ssThe legislature declines to recoup
the publishes for any part of the cost
of laying the public acts before the
people who must obey them. By the
passage of house bill 416, all laws go
into effect February 1, and the statues
in book form must be ready for de-
livery at that time. These are $500
in number, and their distribution is
regulated by law. Eight thousand
five hundred copies of the laws, issued
more than two months after the laws
are made, for the enlightenment of
330, 900 people who like to be regard
ed as law abiding citizens! And this
is republican form of government!
Under the old order of things, by
newspaper PRONUNCIATION, copy of
the statutes was placed in the hands
of about every four or five inhabi-
tants, or copy in every family. That
was rational. ECONOMY" was the
pretext for hiding the statuary light
under a bushel. Aother such freak
of thrift will breed revolution"
