IN RED INK.

A correspondent uses red ink to impress
The CALL that Mr.. Cleveland h as killed
himself politically. The laborers, says our
correspondent-stil in rod ink--win re-
member him in 1885, 1t is not probable
that in 1896 there will be any Cleveland to
remember in political sense. In all strug-
giles in this country between the people
and the political party which may be
termed the Imperialists the people have
won. There is now foreshadowed des-
perate struggle between the money power
and the industrial forces of the country
There are political econom lists who believe,
and we presume sincerely. that the pros
perlty OF the country will be promoted by
opening the country to foreign products
and to fore On labor. The leaders of this
school are to man in favor Of the single
gold standard. Their idea seems to be
cheap labor and dear money. This is an
issue upon which the friends Of labor can
go to the country without fear of the re-
suit. All that is needed is to have the
issues clearly and honestly defined,

THE MONEY SITUATION.

The universal opinion of money kings is
that an apprehension that silver may be
restored to use as money is the cause of the
existing financial furry in the East. One
Of them is reported as saying: "Only a
word from Congress to the effect that we
will go On gold basis the same as other
countries. and confidence will be restored"
The chances are that this word will not be
given. Mr.. Cleveland may urge some
measures upon Congress looking to the
establishments of the gold standard by
law, but he will do so at the risk of his
ascendency in tie party. If the United
States should join in the European clamor
for gold it would only precipitate crisis.
One of the measures which would tend to
put the United States on a gold basis
would be an act of Congress authorizing
an issue Of gold bonds. The effect of such
an act would depend largely upon the
amount. 1t would be higher bid for gold
than European countries have yet made
and would undoubtedly bring gold back
from Europe. But Europe has no gold to
spare and to work general liquidation
would be compelled to bid higher for gold.
This is what the money kings want.
Fortunes would be made ia the rise in the
price of gold.
Another measure which may be sug-
gested would be to collect duties on
foreign goods in gold. This measure
would bring gold into the treasury, but not
so much into the country. American i'm
porters who have to pay the duties would
pay in gold instead of paying in silver In
large part as al present.
European money-lenders insist that
American securities Of all kinds shall be
made payable in gold. The New York
money kings quoted from agree that
foreign capital would seek investment in
American securities if this assurance
should be given. But il as prelimiu airy
to establishing the gold basis the United
States should offer $500, 100000 in gold
bonds at from three to five per cent inter-
est all Europe would be in flutter.
Five hundred millions is nearly one-half
of all the gold in all the banks of Europe.
AS the debt of the United States is small
and her resources large in comparison with
other countries, the holders OF European
gold would readily invest in American Sc
curities. But the foreign money-lenders
only expect small bond issue of $50, O0O,-
600, which would serve to establish the
gold basis,

KINDRED SYSTEnS.

In recent paper to contemporary eX-
Senator ingalls, said:
We should not forget In our sudden frenzy
against the dangers of foreign immigration the
tremendous influence which foreigners exerted
In bringing about the naturalization of the
United States at our historical crisis. OF the
millions thus added 10 our population before
1860 the major part intutlvely avoided the
South, where labor was degraded, and con.
fined itself to the regions in which the stigma
of inferiorty did not exist.
1t might possibly be going too far to say
that but for the system of slavery the
South would have been to the Union what
the North now is. In respect to soil and
climate the South had decided advantage.
During the early history of the Govern
ment the South occupied the principal
posts Of honor. There was an almost I'M
broken series of Southern Presidents up
to the time when the restriction Of slavery
became a dominant issue. By kind of
common assent the South was quite as
much a social as political leader. Every
thing was in favor of Southern DONNA
ton up to the election of Van Buren, in
1886. except the fact that the North was
growing more rapidly in wealth and popu-
lation than the South. Mr.. Ingalls, has
given the true reason. In the South
labor was considered degrading. The
presence of the slave made 1t so. The
tide of immigration turned from the finest
and most fertile portion of the country as
If it were the home of pestilence. And,
in fact, it was the home of a pestilence.
That the name Of the pestllence was slavery
instead of cholera or yellow fever was only
an intensification of the evil. The pesti-
lence was rather moral than physical in its
nature.
There are people now trying to locate
this pestilence in California. The Chin csc
system of contract labor is as antagonistic
to free labor as the old slave system. The
fact that the Chinese may in time work out
their period of bondage does not make the
conditions of the free laborer any more
tolerabe than If bondage was perpetual.
In fact, the bondage is perpetual. The
personnel of the bonded laborer may
change, hut the condition of the laborer
will remain the same. California is now
inviting immigrants net so much from
Europe as from the Eastern American
States. We invite men who have been
educated to the belief that labor is honor
able to come to California and compste
with form Of slave labor which has ever
been considered as degrading. We ask
men of families to put their work against
the work of contract laborers who have nc
family obligations. We ask young men,
who hope at some not distant day to be
husbands and fathers, to struggle to rise
In the ranks in competition with the cheap.
est form of labor known to che civilized
world. These appeals for population will
be in vain until some assurance is given
that California will not lapse into the
ranks of States in which. as Mr.. ingalls,
says. the stigma of inferiority is placed
upon the laborer.

THE FUNERAL OF JEFF DAVIS.

On next Sunday the remains of the late
Jefferson Davis, who was President of the
Confederate States while that organize
ton was in existence, will tie removed
from their present resting-place in Metaire
Cemetery. Louisiana, and reinforced in the
Hollywood Cemetery at Richmond, Va.
where the Davis family own plat. That
the surviving mem bers of the Davis fam
lily should desire TO lay his remains In the
spot where they will i'll their turn await
the f1na end of all things is SO natural
that no person Of proper feeling could OBJ
ject to 1t. But an attempt is being made
10 connect the transfer with public cele-
bration, and that exposes 1t to criticisms
which could not fairly have been leveled
at mere family incident. The coffin will
be escorted from Metare by "thirty-fve
distinguished ex-Confederates," who will
relieve each other on guard duty: the
sepulchral car will be fitted with glass
sides, so constructed that spectators on the
road can see the coffin as 1t passes. At
Montgomery, Ala, a halt of five hours
will be made. The body will be placed
on the spot where Davis took the
oath to the Confederacy: there will
be grand military display, conclud-
ing with an address by "a prominent
ex-Confederate." A similar halt, with
the like ceremonies, will take place
at Atlanta. Governor Tillman will escort
the remains through South Carolina, and
Governor Carr through North Carolina.
At Richmond the coffin will be placed in
the center of the rotunda Of the Capitol.
and there "the pupils of the Richmond
schools will strew it with flowers" Sena-
tor John B. Gordon will deliver an ad-
dress. aad on the 31st nine ex-Governors
OF Southern States will serve as pallbear-
ers on the march to the cemetery.
Perhaps it is hardly pertinent for a
Northern newspaper to question the taste
of all this. But. as after all, Virginia
forms part of the United States in spite Of
the little attempt to kick over the traces
thirty years ago. and as Mr.. Davis. in his
lifetime, was at one time Senator OF the
United States and Secretary of War. an

on the same plane as Washington and Lin.

AN IMPERIAL PROGRAMME.

AS there is clique OF Americans both
in politics and in society who show ten
denotes to Imperialism it is worth while to
study imperialistc methods. The young
Emperor of Germany is good example.
This young man has had amisunderstand-
ing with the Legislature of Germany.
The legislative body refused to increase
the army as the young Emperor desired,
and the young Emperor availed himself of
his constitutional right TO dissolve 1t and
order new election. II is now intlmated
that in case the new Legislature rejects the
army bill the Emperor will issue procla-
nation declaring the bill law. This Is

lavished on one whose only claim to them
Is that he tried to disrupt his country and
failed ANONYMOUSLY in the attempt, what
would the South do for one who had really
been patriot and had served his country
to her advantage?
The query is inspired by no sectional
feeling. 1t implies no raking of dead fires
The North is we'll pleased to hear that the
fame eff the heroes who fought in the Con-
federate armes-Lee, 10 Johnston, Stone
wall Jackson, Albert Sydney Johnson-is
concentrated in bronze or marble, and
remembered by the descendants of those
whom they led in the field. But history
must assign different position to those
heroes than that occupied by Davis. No
Southern man ever lived who did so much
injury to the South as Davis. He plotted
the war long before it broke out. He bent
his powerful intellect to the task OF defeat
ing Cancellation. He set his face against
projects of gradual and compensated eman-
cipation. He refused TO see that there
was anything wrong or mean in liv-
ing on the proceeds of negro labor
without paying the negro, and his
eloquence was so persuasive, and
his logic so deX.erous that he, more than
any other man, was responsible for the
deterioration of the Southern intellect un-
DER the Presidencies of Fillmore, Pierce
and Buchanan. After the war had begun,
when its end was foregone conclusion.
he would not see what his generals saw,
that the sooner peace was made the better
terms the insurgents would obtain from
the victorious Union. He persevered in
tile war to the bitter end-til the South
was completely exhausted and devastated.
and absolute starvation stalked through the
land.
1t speaks volumes for the generosity of
the Southern people that one who had
done them so much wrong was permitted
to end his days among them unmolested.
Many men in other countries, at other
times. have eXpiated less fatal plumbers
than Davis made with their lives. Davis
lived quarter of a century among a peo-
pie who had been reduced to beggary by
his policy and his obstinacy. yet his gray
hairs were always treated with respect
Such self-control commands the admira-
tion of mankind. But when it comes to
burylng him as typical Southern patriot
might be buried it is going too far.

IS 1T CONSTITUTIONAL =?

A smart Chicago man has discovered
way to open the Worlds Fair on Sun
days in spite of an act of Congress. His
idea is to pass an act by the Legislature
of Illinois. requiring all fairs held in the
State to remain open Sunday. The smart
Chicago mans idea has the element of
being in the nature of an afterthought.
The act of Congress takes precedence and
would doubtless survive an act by State
passed expressly to kill it. There is
another way, however. The Supreme
Court has not decided the act OF Congress
voting money on condition that the fair
be closed on Sunday to be constitutional.
Why not suspend it until decision can
be obtained from the Supreme Court, as

nended

MORE OR LESS.

The Washington correspondent of a
Democratic contemporary says that Sec
rotary Carlisle has announced In more
or less determined tone that Celestials who
are Illegally in the United States must go.
AS an indication that MIR. Carlisle's tone
is rather less than more determined. it is
stated that he proposes to begin with
Celestials who were in the country illegally
under the law of 1884. This is precisely
what Mr.. Carlisle should not do. What
the country wants is an endeavor of a
purpose to enforce an act of Congress. The
Chinese who smuggled themselves into
this country outwitted the law; those who
were here lawfully and refused to register
dehed the law. A few ship loads of the
defiers should be sent home at whatever
necessary EXPENSE.
