THE demagogic appeals from various
sources for the relief Of workingmen
are sometimes the result of ignorance
and sometimes of much worse cause
an advocacy Of socialism. This is not a
paternal government; it is a government
Of the people. The people run the gov
ernment, not the government the people
During various periods Of the seven
teenth century, the people who settled
this country ran away from governments
which professed TO take care of the
people in respect to their occupation,
their wealth, their business, their edu-
cation, their eligion and all things else
whether they pertain TO the mind,
TO the body, or to the soul Those
people came here to establish a
government which would mind its own
business and allow the people to mind
theirs. That is the sort Of government
they did establish; that is the kind Of
government we have. Now, the man
who thinks it within the purview Of that
sort of a government to take care Of
men out Of work or to provide food or
work for them, simply does not under
stand the first principles Of the
Constitution If The states or
the cities even, take those things
into consideration and vote taxes for those
purposes they are liable to suit They
have no right to lay their hands on one
mans property to bestow it upon another
man, no matter what the folly or the
need of the other man. This is a country,
and government, in which every man
is expected not only to take care of him
self, but, In addition, to lend his assist
ance to the support of the government.
There ars no exceptions, but paupers,
idiots, lunatics thieves and felons
There are places provided by law for
those classes There are no other legal
and Constitutional refugees, asylums. or
penitentiaries for other classes.

Seven Of these firms have either settled

much money TO so many other poker
players. The transactions on the Board
Of Trade are not gambling, but they
have precisely the same effect on the

country. Hence. they are not disastrous.
They are not to be counted, and are not
counted, as the failures Of great com
mercial houses are counted. The realty in
such transactions is small per centage OF

a failure on paper it does not affect

THERE is an imbecility about the
resolutions of the g. A. r which is di.
verting and refreshing. After commit.

sumed to be fraudulent because so many
of them have proved to be so and be
cause of Raum, the resolution says:
First, Because every pensioner has
proved his disability according to the
laws governing the same; and
Second, Because they have passed the
required test of one or more boards Of
physicians appointed by the government

and who have recommended him for the

Therefore, If the roll Of the Pension
Department bear upon its pages an un-
worthy one. it is certainly not the fault
of he who has complied in every and all
particulars with the demand of the law,
but of the law.
That logic bears with q sweet sym.
pathy on the unworthy one" that is
beautiful. Il indicates a state of mind
concerning the use of the peoples money
that is unique We do not recall any
thing equal or akin to It that bears more

THE alleged concession Of the silver
men, that the ratio OF silver dollar
shall be changed. is a concession forced
upon them after the ratio OF 10 to /, te.
came ridiculous because Of the refusal
Of the market price TO agree with that
ratio. That does not appear to be an
important concession except to the
imagination Of the man who maintains
that the price Of silver bullion has
not changed, but the price OF everything
else has increased

WHEN Colonel E. T. Cooper, Of Dover.
was travelling in the West he heard
nothing but silver arguments. He never
obi jected to any Of them and did not con.
tradict any Of the assertions made
Colonel Cooper is too amiable and too
shrewd to dispute with anybody. He
simply told the silverites that he had
more peaches than he needed aud that It
would be a great favor to him. to all Of
his neighbors, to Kent county particu.
larly and 20 Delaware generally, il che
government would buy the peaches OF
Delaware and pay a higher price for them
than the market price OF course the
silver men could not argue with peach
man. Hence the genial colonel was able
TO leave every silver company happy him
self and without offending them. Mean.
time his argument stands unimpeached
aud the peaches Of Delaware have to
meet the market just as silver should
meet t.

ratios; II to /, 43s. 60; 1S to /, 464 40; 10
to 1, 400 30, and at 20 to /, Ole. That
indicates a pronounced disposition ito

not included for the obvious reason that
it is too suggestive. It would have the
appearance Of indicating that the scale
ran higher than the 20 to ratio,
thing, which because it is fact, the
silverites will not admit. If there is
anything that makes a silverite dance
metaphorical jig of displeasure, it is a
