The nomination of Van Allen, the

FAR ABOVE POLITICS.

The extent to which politics has
been buried in certain quarters in the
endeavor to improve the hnan-
cial condition OF the country is quite
refreshing The latest outbreak
comes from Editor Watterson of
the Louisville Courier ournal, who
denounces the Southern senator's for
the manner in which they have OBJ
structed the repeal of the purchasing
clause, and predicts disaster for
democracy as result of this atti-
tude against the country's welfare.
Watterson thinks the spectacle Of
the extra session lis enough to call
the dead to life in defense of the be.
leaguered interests and the life de-
parting glory from the clique ofSouth
ern senator's obsequiously serv-
ing a combine of silver mine owners
using their experience and such wits
as are left them to obstruct the will
of the people as it was never OBJ
structed before" He looks upor
democracy as being irretrievably dis
graced in having to submit to thu
wise rebuke Of a republican states
man, and that statesman Johr
Sherman
Far above politics stands tn
prosperity of the country. And tn
senate's fragrant disregard of tina
prosperity fully merits the condem
nation uttered by the Courier Jour
nal and other leading democrati
papers-to say nothing Of hot sho
from the opposition press.

PHYSICALLY BEFOGGED.

The United States senate is Still
very much in the fog over a matter
of money. On Saturday last th'
country was told that a compro
mise on the silver question had beer
practically agreed upon, providing
that the silver-purchasing clause Of
the Sherman act should be repealed
October first, 1894; that the four
and half millions of silver which
must be purchased under the act
shall be coined from time to time, as
shall the seigniorage now in the
treasury, and that which shall grow
out of the further purchases; and
that all greenbacks and treasury
notes under $40 in value shall be re-
tired and silver certificates or coined
silver dollars shall take their place.
1t was also stated that the presl-
dent would consent to such COM
promise. But this has been fatty
contradicted since Saturday., and
Mr.. Cleveland is said to stand firmly
for unconditional repeal. Many of
the silver men are said to object to
the compromise because it assures
them of little or nothing more than
would result from immediate and
unconditional repeal. Information
from fairly reliable authority indi-
Gates that President Cleveland might
feel himself called upon to veto a
compromise measure, and this fact
does not add to the serenity of those
democratic senator's who favor COM
promise as the easiest way out of
bad mess.
Altogether the situation is very
much mixed, and the comedy being
enacted at Washington has decid-
edly unwholesome influence on the
business interests of the country,
which certainly have not grown
much stronger during the past few
weeks.
Despite the present condition of af-
fairs, the friends of repeal are still
hopeful Of victory. The presiding
officer of the senate has it in his
power-with the aid OF those demo-
cratic and republican senator's who
have the good of the country at
heart-to put an end to the farce
and bring the will of the majority
to the front, where it belongs.
The country is Disguised with d.
latory tactics and demands Of its
upper house" nothing more or less
than business-like action.
The very latest information from
Washington is to the effect that the
vote on unconditional repeal will be
taken at the earliest possible mo-
ment. This means that the silver
men have given up the 6ght-prob-
ably recognizing the fact that the
country is not and never will be in
accord with them.

1t is said to be an open secret that
Col. H. E. Taylor of Brattleboro is
not to be ousted by the administra-
ton from his berth in the customs
service. Postmaster Childs of Brat
tleboro, who is democrat, was al
lowed to stay in Office under the
Harrison administration so there
would be no extraordinary display
of political magnanimity in blowing
Taylor or any other Brattleboro
republican to hold over on the
ground of general efficiency.

Horror succeeds horror. The
country was startled on Friday by
the collision at Battle Creek and the
loss of twenty-six or more lives.
This is by far the worst of the many
accidents attendant on the World S
Fair travel, both as to the number
lost and the manner of their death.
Fire added to the terribeness of the
scene, and many of the bodies were
so burned as to be beyond recog-
milton. This affair, like so many of
those preceding it, seems to lack
utterly in reasonable excuse, and the
great sacrifice of human life is the
penalty of an egregious blunder on
the part of conductor or engineer, or
both. Law may provide a punish
ment for the guilty party, but it
cannot make amends for the desola-
ton carried to many a househ old.
1t is time to call halt in this over
working of trainmen and so careless
regard for responsibility.

plication. Says the Farmer writer;
"In other words, while other classes
organize and unite their forces for
business and political purposes, the
farmers must remain unorgan'zed
that they may be the more easily
managed and controlled by other
classes" The Grange editor must
become convinced, if he will but look
over the field carefully, that the
extent to which any of the "other
classes" in this state have organized
"for business and political purposes"
is so very slight as to attract little
or no public attention, and has little
or no influence in bringing about
political or business results. So far
as the farming class is concerned, the
CALEDoNIANs article contended
strongly not for "political' or "busi-
ness" organization involving an
tagonism to other classes, but for
intelligent organization with view
to giving added dignity and i'm
portance to agriculture and en-
phasizing the close community
of interests between that and other
industries. Certainly no fair critic
will discover in such advocacy any
leaning towards an unorganized
community of farmers who may be
the more easily managed and con-
trolled by other classes"
The writer quoted above, while in
one paragraph seeming inclined to
misconstrue what the CALIFORNIAN
said, in still another falls into line
with us and remarks:
1.-THE Grange is not political organ
ization like the Farmers League which
lived but a short time, or the Alliance,
which has resolved itself into a populist
party, but it is political in the sense of
teaching its members the principles
which underlie all true politics and then
asking them to act in accordance with
their convictions of right and duty.
Neither is the grange a business organ
ization, but it teaches it's members how
business is done by other classes and
then gives them the opportunity to go
and do likewise if they choose"
This is, in substance, is the very
thing maintained by US in the pre-
vious article-namely, that to pose
publicly as the representatives of
political or business prejudice was
not what the majority of farmers
desired; but that organization which
shall bring out the farmers utmost
ability along social, educational and
business lines and in public service,
was a thing altogether to be desired.

New York, TMr. Cockran whose imam
cial theories were evidently gained from
a manipulation of the stock exchange,
would cnly 20 to that great country
from which ne said were obtained the
agricultural products which were
shipped abroad in order TO bring
back the European gold nee
essary to sustain In public credit
he would understand why those
gentleman and himself were practically
different In their views. 1t was true,as
the gentleman had said, that IL was TO
the product Of the soil Of this country
that the finances of this government
looked TO bring back the gold OF Eu-
rome in order TO maintain our present
financial system. But the gentleman
had failed to tell the House the difficult
ties under which the farmers laoored In
order 10 do this patriotic service.
He had not told the House that there
was a corner In the gold Of the world.
As long as the gold OF the world was
cornered by the legislation OF the
United States the gold men OF the South
and West could exact their own price
for gold. All the dogmatic utterances
of the gentleman from New York were
made in the face OF history, and In the
face OF truth. He (Mr. Bland) did
not defend the Sherman act; and II
he could put In its place provision for
the free coinage Of silver at ratio OF
16 to l, he would vote for its repeal.
He saw no reason whatever for chang
ing the existing ratio OF 16 to
l. The production OF gold and
silver for the last hundred years
had been at the ratio OF about
151$ to l, and that was the ratio OF sill
YER coinage of the different countries OF
the world. There were, he said, TWO
hostile forces on the floor on the whole
money question, and the gentlemen
would sooner or later have TO arrange
themselves on
ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER.
He then sent to the clerks desk
and had read dispatch referring to an
article in the New York Euentng Post as
the application of pressure in favor OF
repeal OF the Sherman act-the press
ure suggested being the threat TO with
hold credits from country merchants.
He denounced the article, and
quoted. what Mr.. Benton once
said in Congress on a some
what analogous proposition. He then
declared that it was a notorious fact
that the people OF the South and West
who had money on deposit In New
York banks, could not have their
checks paid. This was being done to
weaken the Western banks and to have
an influence on the Representatives in
this House.
MIR. Warner inquired whether the
banks Of New York had not reduced
their reserve in order to meet the de-
mands of the South and West, lower
than the banks Of the West and South
had done.
Mr.. Bland replied that the gentleman
could put his statistics as he pleased,
but it was notorious that the money in
the banks Of New York could not be
