A ealIer-sIave Of the PopuIIsts.

Senator Butler, oil South Carolina,
is the bondman at the present time
of the Populists of his state and is
therefore more an object of pity
than Of reproach. II is possible
that he goes further in the support
Of downright nonsense than his con-
dition Of servitude requires. "This
senate" he said I'm attempting q
reply TO Mr.. Palmer's remarks on
that body's inability 10 execute its
own will sis not a town meeting; il
is a great deliberative body, intend
cd by the trainers of the govern
ment TO put q veto upon hasty, un-
wise and improper legislation" F."
Let us see what this means.
The senate is itself a minority in
the makeup OF our government Just
MS the president In, but unique and
invincible in its sphere. Mr. But
ler's proposition is not that this mi
noriiy shall protect the rights OF
minorities OF the people, but
that n minority ot the minority shall
do go. This is conception that
could have emanated only from a
bondman and galIey-slave Of The
Populists. We have a good deal OF
pity for senators i'm Mr.. Buffers
condition, but we doubt whether
even the Populists can approve the
proposition that one branch Of con-
gress has the right to govern the
country against two-lhirds OF both
branches plus the president. I'll
they do approve it, they belong
to some other country than
this. They constitute an oligarchy

ern times.-Abridged from N. Y.

Swedish Farmers for Mississippi.

The Woodville Courier of the 11th
gives further particulars about the
effort now making to settle colony
of Swedish farmers in Wilkinson
county. Mr.. Seaburg of Chicago,
one of the leaders in the movement, j,
was recently attracted by the adyer-
tisements Of McGehee & Co. in
northern papers, setting forth the
advantages of that county. He had
been in correspondence with real es-
tate agents throughout the south but
was SO much interested in what Nc
Gehee a Co. said about Wilkinson
that he finally visited the county in
company with Mr.. G. w. McGinuis
of the Valley road. He first got i'm
to communication with the latter
gentleman while planning for cheap
rates over this line, and their inter
ests being parallel, they determined
to work together. The Woodville
Courier says:

Mr.. McGinnis have gone north again

Judge T. NJ. Cooley, of Michigan,
one OF the first authorities in the
country on constitutional questions,
in recent interview, said:
1t is a fundamental principle OF
representative government that the
majority shall rule. IL was the in
tention of the founders of our con-
stitution and embodied in The con-
stitution that the majority in each
house of congress should control
the deliberations Of that house, any
exception to this general rule being
specifically stated.
Now for a majority of The senate
10 concede, Tor any reason, that a
rule of practice in debate or Of SEN
atorial courtesy, makes ii possible
for a minority to prevent legislation
by indefinitely protracting debate
rs equivalent to revolution. 1t is
as much revolution as though ac-
conplished with arms and violence.
If the minority can postpone legis-
tIon lo. one session they may for a
second and so on.
The majority cannot constitutions
ally concede the existence of a rule
or system which is subversive OF
their rights and duty Of legislation.
The Port Gibson reveille., 1893-10-20

There should be no compromise on
the currency question. Ii, through
the detection Of southern senators,
the repeal bill can not be passed. the
Sherman act ought 10 remain undis-
turbed, let the consequences be what
they may. There are two reasons
why that would be best. In the first
place, If repeal is accomplished under
pledge Of compromise, the resulting
legislation would be no improvement
on the Sherman act, and might be
good deal worse. The spirit exhibit
ed by the conspirators Of the silver
states makes this certain.
In the next place compromise
would merely postpone for a few
years a matter that must be radically
dealt with sooner or later. The diff
ficulties OF the problem would be ag-
grayated by temporizing measures,
and solution would be harder to
find hereafter than it is now. The
country ia in no mood for such cow
ardly policy. IL the Democrats, with
a majority in both houses, are too
weak or too timid to grapple with the
question, LET them frankly confess it
instead of trying 10 sneak out of the
difficulty by shifting the responsible
ily to a future congress.
