There appears to be more or less dema-
gogy IN that letter written by Gov. Hogg
Of Texas to the district attorney of San
Antonio, in which he promises food, not

tramps for lack of work. The governor
saw an opportunity to make a point with
voters who do not go below the surface
of a question, and he made it. Now. if

Judge coolsv on the Senate.


| One of the severest and one Of the
weightiest criticisms passed upon the
| filibustering senator's is contained in
letter written recently by Judge Thomas
NJ Cooley, of Michigan, the distinguished
jurist andauthority on constitutional law,
| TO ex-Mayor Hodges, of Baltimore. Among
other things he said;
If it is true the majority cannot force
a vote a revolution in some manner has
been effected in the government is no
longer the government our fathers created,
but one so changed by one legislative body
that a minority in that body may at plea
sure defeat any legislative measures. 1
feel inundated as an American citizen
more than that l feel robbed of liberties
that would never have been voluntarily
surrendered by the people. The constitu-
tion is violated in one of its most i'm
portant particulars; and not, so far as we
can see, for once merely, but in a way
that for all time leaves it at the mercy Of
a few persons more"
With such an opinion as this. from one
of the foremost writer's and thinkers on
constitutional law. a writer who is quoted
as an authority in every court in the
land, it becomes the more apparent what
Senator Voorhees, meant when he charac-
terized the fight for the bringing of the
Senate to a vote as a fight for constitu-
tional government.
The constitution contemplates the
government by the majority. It's says
that a majority of each house of congress
'shall constitute a quorum to do bust
ness" If, by absurd rules, that provision
is nullifed, constitutional government is
SUSPENDED.

A Chunk of Wisdom.
From the Chicago Tribune CRep.,

From the Chicago Tribune (Rep).
The Atlanta Constitution says: If demo-
Gratis are responsible for unconditional re-
peal, the party in the south, which is already
embarrassed by grave suspicious among the
people would be seriously crippled" This is
a roundabout way of saying that Georgia
democrats like the editor Of the Constitution
are afraid of the pops. and will do what they
did in South CarOlina-smash the regular"
democratic machine and turn out Of office the
veteran democratic office holders. Instead
OF fighting the decisions Of the pOpulist
cranks by enlightening the people and by
showing them that IL is for the interest Of
every one OF thems to have good money, the
Constitution, in order TO save the machine
wants the Democratic party TO knuckle down
TO these cranks, to adopt their heresies and
repudiate the democratic platform. This Is
cowardly and, therefore, impOlitic. II is
repetition OF the cowardice which caused the
democrats to truckle 10 the greenbackers
twenty years ago. The Democratic party in
the south would not be embarrassed now II
10 had more moral courage 20 defend its prin-
ciples. 10 seems 20 be brave only when
trampling on the political rights OF negroes.
III its organs had preached sound doctrines
as euergetically as northern democratic
papers have done, the Populist party would
be dying out by this time.

Davenport,s Iron Gage.

Postmaster Dayton of New York, has
applied to the treasury department at
Washington for permission to remove
John l. Davenport's famous iron cage
from Room 1853 in the postofice building,
from which Davenport was recently
ousted. 1t is probable that the desired
permission will be granted.
Some democratic organization should
secure that cage and set it up as an object
lesson teaching the republican idea of
government and the real meaning of the
federal elections laws-the laws con-
demned by the Chicago platform and
recently repealed by the House. If it
were brought down south about now and
exhibited to some of those white men
who, after having gone through recon
struction and carpet-bag rule, are dis
posed to desert the Democratic party for
strange political gods, the effect might,
and probably would, be salutary. 1t
would remind them of the old days in
which black deputies and federal mar
shals dominated the ballot boxes with
warrants of arrest, clubs and bayo-
nets, and marched off to the lookup

the democratic ticket For Davenport's
cage played an important part in
just such scenes. 1t was built for the
purpose of OBTAINING democratic voters
until it was too late for them to vote and
intimidating others to stay away from the
polls
Dayenport's cage is shaped like a COM

feet wide, 16 feet long and s feet high at
one end and 16 feet high at the other
The room in which it stands is AZ feet
long and q feet wide. Its floor is of hard
stone. No seats or benches were ever put
in it, 1t is variously estimated at having
a capacity of fifty prisoners and two hun
dred prisoners. Like a street car, it can
be jammed with four times as many per-
sons as should go in it under any but say
age or barbarian laws, and it
is said that Davenport often
had it damned. Its guardians We're gen

cratic voters. Some of the city's most
respected residents have been in the
hands of these creatures. A singular fea-
ture of the entire performance was the
fact that in almost every instance the
persons arrested have been discharged
because of insufficient evidence The le-
gal proceeding became admittedly a farce
perpetrated on an outraged public for par

Can Senator Butler Answerp

From the Louisville Couricr-Journal Dem)
Senator Butler, who. with the fear of the
South Carolina populists and of the fate of
Wade Hampton before his eyes, is one of the
democratic senators who are moving heaven
and earth to defeat the financial policy of the
democratic administration, expresses his i'm
patience that the bill to repeal the election
laws is not taken up by the Senate in place
OF the bill to repeal the Sherman law. Per
haps Senator Butler can inform the country
how the Tucker bill can be passed in the Sen
ate if the Voorhees, bill cannot. There is a
stubborn minority of senators against the
Tucker bill ana in these days of constitu-
tional government as interpreted by the Sen
ate the minority rules.

move them to vacant lands adjacent to

cess that is being kept secret. The pro-
jector of and principal stockholder in the

A Bold Suggestion.
~
From the Philadelphia Record DeI

From the Philadelphia Record Dem).
The Sherman silyer-purchasing act imposes
q double duty upon the Secretary of the
Treasury. He is required to buy 45O0OOJ
ounces Of silver monthly at the market price
and TO maintain the parity of our gold and
silver coinage. Mr.. Henry Clews suggests
that when he is no longer able to protect his
gold reserve he cannot maintain the parity OF
the metals, and he should, therefore, suspend
the purchase of silver.

One of these days, it is to be hoped,
railway engineers will learn to place less
confidence in their air brakes, which con
fidence often leads them to defer putting
on the brakes until the last moment. The
disaster at jackson, Mich, the other day
was caused by over-confidence in an I'M
worthy air brake. Year after year rail
way engines and cars are made heavier,
but there appears to be no corresponding
improvement in the power of the air

The Railroad Gazette thinks that a
good topic for the Superintendent So
ciety to discuss would be how to reduce
unnecessary whistling. The standard
code rule on the use of whistles, it says,
is one of those which had to be made
rather vague in order to secure its
adoption. The substance Of it is, DO not
make outrageous noise unless you think
the rules require it.

Reaching for Ninetv-six.

There may be presidential candidacy
! involved in the Ohio campaign. Gov
/ Mckinley and his friends are rather in
clined TO think there is, and as the cam
/ paign draws to close-the election oc-
/ ours within three. weeks-they are re-
T doubling their efforts to make the posi-
/ bility certainty
/ The Mckinley republicans of Ohio-for,
/ be it understood all the republicans do
not believe in McKinleys prohibitory
tariff ideas-look upon the current cam
paign as the first skirmish in the battle
of 1896. They think that the future of
/ high protectionism in this country de-
ponds upon Ohio's verdict at the polls
next month, and calculate that if McKin
ley can increase his majority of two years
ago, when he defeated Campbell by over
p 900, and be carried in on tidal wave
of tariff reaction, with % 900 or $1,000 plu-
rality, it will make him the certain can
didate for the presidency three years
hence.
In the event of his election with plu-
rality of 30, 600 he would not be compelled
to make another fight in 1895. The peo-
pie of Ohio do not believe in third terms
for governors, as they proved to Foraker;
so Mckinley would, in 1895, decline an
other nomination for the governorship
and be left free to enter the presidential
campaign.
Such is an outline of the plan believed
to have been determined upon by McKin-
ley's friends. 1t is a good one as far as it
goes, but that it viii be effective is mixed
with the gravest kind of doubt. In the
first place, Larry Neal, the democratic
candidate against Mckinley, is one of the
liveliest campaigners the Napoleon of
protectionism" has ever run up against.
Neal, besides knowing the tariff question
as he knows the multiplication table, is
an agreeable and convincing speaker, an
attractive conversationalist and a com
panionable gentleman. He makes friends
on and off the stump whereas, Mckinley,
with his cold and naughty reserve off the
stump, repels rather than attracts friend
ships. And Neal will, during the closing
weeks of the campaign, have the able as
sistance on the stump of ex-Gox. Camp
bell, Senator Brice and other influential
Ohioans, besides that of speakers from
other states.
1t is true that Mckinley is receiving
the aid-so-called through courtesy-of
Congressman Reed, of Maine. But Reed
is not going to boom Mckinley too much;
that may be depended upon. For he has
his eye upon that presidential nomination
for himself, and booming Mckinley is not
going, to make "Reed's rules" more popu-
lar with republicans. Besides, Reed is
not consumed with love for the governor
Of Ohio; therefore he will limit his
speeches for his party in Ohio to one at
Cleveland, one at Columbus, and one at
Cincinnati, and plead the extra session of
congress as an excuse precluding further
engagements.

Many Of the liquor dealers of South
Carolina are demanding of county treas
urers the return of half the license fees
they were required last January to pay
into the treasures for license for one
year. The dispensary law was then pend
ing, and it was known that the state
would assume the whisky business as its
own enterprise at the expiration of six
months; still the then existing law called
for years license and the dealers had to
put up the money for it or miss the trade
OF the open six months. Whether the
dealers will get their money back or not
is an open question. The dispensary law
makes no provision for such remittances.
nor does any other law.
