DEMOCRATIC D1crATIoN.

The Atlanta Constitution, the lead
ing Democratic paper in the
south says: Democrats who talk
about postponing the issue of free COIN
age have no knowledge of the temper Of
the Democratic farmers of the south. :"
Sectionalism on national questions, that
affebt the interests of the whole people,
is TO be deprecated; but not more SO
than the idea that the country should be
dominated in the policy of government
in regard to any vital economic question.
The interests of the Democratic farm
ers of the south" are entitled to the same
consideration as an equal number OF
farmers of any other section or of any
other party, or the Interests Of Like
number of citizens any where engaged
in any other vocation, and no more.
And this attempt to dictate action on so
important a question as the one that
directly affects the governments most
important interest, that of finances, by
single class in a circumscribed section viii
not strengthen that cause throughout the
country. Southern dictation, whether
in the name of Democratic farmers or
free traders engaged in any other call
ing, viii not be tolerated.

TO WHAT BASE USE?

To show how warped the mind of a
man may become, we publish the fol-
lowing from the pen of George W. Mar
tin, man who has shouted for Kansas
and Kansas interests all his life until
within the last two years, since when he
has become brother -in-law to Kansas
City, Mo-, because he is now publishing
paper just across the line from that
city. He apparently forgets that the
twenty two railroads and other 'advan-
tages" have accrued to Kansas City, No.,
through the adoption of the same means
vantages for Kansas towns. Kansas has
built Kansas City in twenty years; let
her people now devote their time and
talents to the building up of their own
cities. Mr.. Martin saws:
"a correspondent of the Wichita
EAGLE refers to Atchison as the vigorous
contingent in Kansas of Kansas City.
Judge Rlner OF the United States
court has issued another injunction
against the roads concerning rates
from New Orleans to the four alleged
WHOLESALE. points III the inttIici
of Kansas. The rate question is
SO muddIed now that all the lawyers
and experts the roads have seem to
be unable to comprehend the matter and
unravel things When it is all simmered
down there is nothing 10 it but the
chronic howl that has been heard for
twenty years against the development
and concentration at kawsmOuth. We
have all heard it and we have been
part of it. Since the close of the war this
contest has been going on, with every
element except that of nature, and every
prejudice, local, state and national,
against kawsmouth. But nature has
prevailed over all, and she will prevail
over this squirt. The point with twenty
two railroads, and other advantages TO
correspond, will prevail as against towns
with two or three railroads. These lines
give this point a half dozen states to
cover, whereas the kick IS made in the
of places that cannot cover as
many adjoining counties. And one little
wholesale house certainly cannot offer
the advantages dozen great ones can.
1t is no go, boys. The mules eye is sot.
You will all have to settle down to what
nature intended you to be-nice little
towns-good for just so much and no
more"

A coachman in the employ of Mrs.
Drayton had to be repeatedly bribed by
Mrs. Drayton not to divulge dangerous
secrets that he knew, and on occasions

studied disrespect, and when one day
she threatened him with discharge, ap-
Piled to her an epithet which made the

neither wealth nor position can protect
you from insult and humiliation. The

can poll larger percentage of the
soldier vote. the Irish vote, and the
Democratic vote than any candidate
who has vet come 10 the surface. and he
can furthermore poll the united vote of
the Republican party, prohibition, re
submission and mugwumps. In point
of native ability Tim Mccarthy is the
peer of any aspirant for the Office. In
repartee he can meet Jerry Simpson on
his own ground. AS an indefatigable
worker, either in the ranks of the party
or as leader, has been demonstrated
fully in the past. Tim. Mccarthy, TO
my own certain knowledge, Is not seek
ing the nomination-he does not expect
TO Figure for it nor TO have it thrust
upon him, but as Republican who has
the good of the cause only at heart, !
say, that lie is the right man for the
place because he l. a winner from way
back and never lost a race IN his life
hence to take the fewest possible chances
of defeat next fall let us put up the most
available man. His name is Mccarthy.

LAW VS.. EQUITY.

Judge Phillips of the United States
district court in Kansas City sends three
county judges in Missouri to prison and
fines them $500 each for contempt in re-
fusing to obey his mandate ordering
them TO make special tax levy to pay
certain bonds voted by their counties
twenty years ago to aid the construction
of railroad. The bonds were regularly
issued, placed on the market and sold,
but the railroad was never built and the
counties voting and issuing the bonds
have received no benefit or considera-
ton for the bonds or from the proceeds
of their sale 1t has been for this last
reason that payment Of the bonds or in
terest has been refused. Lack Of consld
Grafton for the bonds, which were issued
in good faith, was not denied, but the
court held that inasmuch as the present
owners of the bonds are innocent pur
chasers, the counties must pay them.
This may be law, but II is not equity.
The purchaser of stolen property may
also be an innocent purchaser, but the
law gives the rightful owner recourse
either for the properly or its value III
cash. To all intents the bonds in ques-
ton were stolen from the citizens of the
counties, and since they are of value
the makers are entitled to them or their
equivalent in value.

THE SILK INDUSTRY IN AMERICA.

The American silk industry has been
built up by protection. We have now
some hundred mills, producing annually
500, 900, 600 worth of goods, and our mar
kets are supplied with silk goods of all
kinds. All of this immense business
has been built up in the last twenty-five
years. Within the same period the En-
gIish manufacture of silk goods has
greatly declined. The president of the
British Silk association, Ill re-
cent address, said that where
that important industry had formerly en-
ployed million people, it now barely
employs one-ffth of that number,
Many of our best and younger arti-
sans" be said, ''have been, by absence
of work, forced across the Atlantic, and
have there founded magnificent silk in
dustry." The manufacture of silk is
just as proper an industry for our people
as for those of Lyons and a more natural
one for our people than for those of Eng
land, for the silk worm fourlsbes in this
country and does not in England, and
we can raise the raw silk here as well as
can be done in China.
\ bill was introduced in congress a
few days ago providing for the establish
ment, by the secretary of agriculture of
five stations for experimenting and de-
veloping the production of raw silk in
this country. With proper encourage
ment and intelligent direction by persons
conversant with the industry practically,
there is no sort of doubt that we could
and would in short time produce as
we'll as manufacture all the silk We re-
