1.-The Hon. Henry Watterson has
again bounded ont Of the bush, roar
ing like q VIII Numidian lion and
swinging his tnIted tail ten feet in the
air; or. 10 abruptly drop the leonine
figure, Henry has got EN- agaln. This
time he is oeiching his philippines ip',,
the Democratic Senator'S whO have
refused 10 follow him into me s."l !
bug camp and enlist IN h. serrice
of the 'moHey-ievif,' of whom he
was wont to give such picturesque
and blood curling descriptions Ii
was but few months agn That Mr.
Wafterson was ciamOriug tor the free,
unlimited and indepen lent cO'nage of
silver hy the United S'stes. We
shalI never forget the u sparring Ia
vective with which he lamb sfed Mr.
Cleveland and Secretary Manning for
their opposition to Inc Bland act
He has at all times, until qnite re-
Gently, held that the Unitei States
could safely undertake the free coin-
age of silver at the present ratio
alone. Having led SO m.nv men
astray By these teachings, he ought
to be charitable to them in their
error. The senators who oppose the
final closing IF the minis to silver are
Mr.. Watterson's disciples, and have
not been blessed as he seems to have
been with divine revelation. We
do not agree with Mr.. Watterson
that they have been corrupted any
more than we believe that their Oppo
nents are the lmps of The money
devil, as Mr.. Watterson USED To- saw
they were. They are simply The
slaves of their poor human under
standings. and the banefui influence
ii Mr.. Wattersnn's former teaching
Is still upon them. IL is not given Ia
all men To be knocked down in the
road, like Saul of Tarsus, by reve-
latlon from on high"
There is here more OF mlsapprehen
sion than MEASUREMENT. When the
} proposition IN partially remonet re 81.
, Yer was male, silver and gold had
not actually parted company They
were close upon parity. Specie re
sumption was at hand. The etiitor 81
i, the Courier Journal supported the
B and Allison Act both a blmetal.
, ist and a specie resunlptionist- He
subsequently joined with the friends
of silver, being then as u0w frieu'I
and not an enemy of silver. In what
; appears to have been mistaken ct.
fort to sustain the parity of silver
: and gold. Very earnestly. very
sincerely he pursued this well mean
ing but Intellectual policy through ten
years, which witnessed the steady de-
, cline of the value of silver from
nearly a hundred cents on the dollar
to less than sixty cents. Il was moi
until it became clear to his mind thai
all efforts TO legislate silver into equal
ity with gold were futle-that the
experiment was fat failure thar
with each boost silver got in cou
gress, it got a corresponding dump
in the market-that in tact, revo.
luton had come to pass-that he, IN
Common with other good Company
reached the conclusion that, if there
was any hope for silver at all, il
must lie in some other direction
Hence, the support he is giving the
! repeal of the Purchasing clause,
whose operation has been so disaster
Gus both to silver and to the bu >iness
of the country.
| Young Mr.. Carmack needs to b.
admOnished that in the discussion oI
questions OF political ecouomv. whIcii
are unsentimental in their bearings
AID belongings, sarcasm, either
with or without the K, is unparlia-
mentarv, we will not say unserato-
rial. When we are done with his
education we shall have fully I'm
pressed him with the value of deilb-
GRAFTON. He is too impetuOus by halt
He jumps too rapidly at conclusions
The veteran Bull Dogs among us
know that the wisdom of combat Is
to wait and see, to keep cnol, ami,
above all, never To lose temper. AL
"f us have, i'm our time, been Bull
Pups, and the Bull Pups of the press
emt time will know their lesson by
and by.
| No one doubts yonpg Mr.. Carmack' g
courage. No one doubts his integrity
and honor. Ii he had lived in days
of trial, he would have been the
same brave soldier his father, who we
believe tell upon the field Of battle
was But would he, after the surren-
der at Appomattox, have taken 10
the hills, and advised his comrades
To continue hopeless, guerrilla war
fare?
Well. silver has met its Appomat-
tpx, and we dec inc t, fight any longer
on that nne. But we no more de
SPAR now than we de>paired ther.
The surrender of Lee dill not menn
the humiliation OF the people If the
S uth. 1t did not mean the end OF
free government. Nor will The re-
peal of the Purchase clause mean
the annihilation of silver money.
Silver will continue to be used. In
deed, il may be restored 10 its right
full relation 10 gold precisely as the
Southern people have been restored
TO lheir nghtsul relation to the North
ern people, al of us being tile hap
pier and better fJr the change of bel
ligerent policies into the harmOnies
of DQSce and union
