evident on every hand. New houses are

of a vanished dream"
ready to spring from the st. Helena OF
Republican hope to inspire the Grand
Old Party with new life and enthusi-
asm. Like Ichabod, its glory has de-
parted and there is no prophet to re-
build its affairs. Its destiny has been
fulfilled and the moving masses OF
the country have no further use
for it. The bSrons of manufacture
have lost their grasp on the throat OF
the country, and they can make no
more bargains with the ruling powers
to amass fortunes from the blood and
sinew of the workingmeu of the coun.
try. Labor, with its mighty hand,
has dashed the cup of luxurious mo-
nopoly from their lips and the Repub'
lican party in the mighty throes OF
death ha given up the ghost.
No longer is the rallying cry OF the
clansmen available to gather the Re-
publican hosts to battle. The coronach
is the only song of Its organs and
Col. Cockerill and the plous shepard
may pipe their loudest strains, there
is no movement among the dry bones
in the valley of Jehosephat. "Vale
vale, ct longum que vale"

THE DLSINTEGRATION or THE RE-
PUBLICAN PARTY.

The Commercial Advertiser of New
York Ia the most thorough radical Re.
publican paper In this country. Its
editor, John A. Cockerill, was for a
long time fre-eating Southerner, as
long as he had employment on South
ern papers and the New York World.
1t is always the case that when man
betrays and abandons his party he
becomes its most violent assailant.
He abandoned the Democratic party,
therefore The Commercial Advertiser
waves the bloody shirt on all occasions
but Its tone has changed. Its wall for
the reorganization of the Republican
party would be amusing II 1t was not
so pitiful. 1t deplores the condition
Of the party, pictures its utter
disorganization, and like Brim seek
ing for king of Spain, 1t calls loudly
for some young Republican leader to
spring to the front and snatch up its
banners trailing in the dust of defeat
and disorganization and rally to its
support the psnio.stricken army of the
Republican party.
There Is no longer even mighty

and it is perfectly free from
any church influence. 1t pro-
tects religion and recognizes the
necessity OF compelling the observance
of certain religious dogmas, and lts
people are thoroughly religious but
they do not desire or claim any right
of control on account of their religious
standing.
1t REQUIRES centuries to educate
people up to the idea that the cnurch
and the state prospered more under
independent and separate government
Such has been the force of the ldea
and its beneficial results that at last
the Catholic church has surrendered
its claim of temporal power over its
hierarchy in this country. The pops
aware of certain claims put forward
by an archbishop of tho Catholic
church to q division of the school
fund, sent his special legate to this
country to disclaim all such preten'
slons and to reconcile the church III
this country more fully to the princi-
pie of q separate authority OF the
church and state. Thus we see that
the last barrier to the full sway OF this
comparatively new idea has been
broken down and all churches within
our borders willingly accept the
final settlement of that question.
1t might be remarked that this last
was great triumph considering the
attitude of the Catholic church for cen
turtles upon THE subject and the long
wars that Catholic countries have
maintained to perpetuate the tenn
peral power of the pope. 1t is sig
nificant victory Tor the form OF gov
eminent that maintains a temporal
power beyond the control or influence
of any church.

THE SHERMAN ACT.

Mr.. Cleveland injected a good deal
of starch into the backbone OF the
Democratic party on the subject ofthe
tariff and made them toe the mark,
but he has failed thus far to bring
them up to the click log" on the white
metal problem. 1t Is estimated that
the government has lost $S5, 600, 900 in
gold by the depreciation of silver and
purchases under the Sherman act,
and although the balance of trade is
in our favor never before mas
such an enormous amount of gold
gone out of the country in the same
period. But for the confidence in the
credit of the government such de-
pletion of gold would long since have
involved the business community in a
panic.
II the bill now before congress, al
lowing the suspension of the purchase
of silver is not passed, or the Sherman
act is not repealed, 1T will be the fault
of the Democrats In congress. Sher-
man declares that he and his Repub-
lican associates are ready at any
moment to repeal the silver purchase
act and he calls upon the Democrats
in the senate to take the initiative in
its repeal, but the proposition Is met
by dignified silence unworthy OF
the leaders of a great party that ID
lust abou, to take control of the gov
eminent with many promises of tinau-
cial reform.
The fact Is that the Democrats in
congress differ on this subject quite as
much as they did on the tariff ques'
ton until they were convinced the
voice of the masses of the Democratic
party demanded tariff reform In very
emphatic accents Mr.. Cleveland
proved to be the Moses that led us oul
of the wilderness of high tariff, and
he holds In his hand the rod
with which to touch the
body of dishonest currency
and give 1t new life with its face shin
ing with all the the confidence of al
honest dollar. The wise men of the
state and the magicans OF finance
have exhausted their genius and arts
on the subject and now it is only nee
essary for Mr.. Cleveland to throw
down his rod to demonstrate that II
will swallow other rods OF these
thinkers in monetary legerdemain. Il
is the duty of the Democrats to thu
country to repeal the Sherman ae
and stop this fearful drain ofgold tina
has in steady streams poured itsel
