That posed bin should practi-
cally put sugar on the free list, and
stop the bounty in short order. The
proposed bill proposes its gradual
abatement, diminishing it one
eighth each year. This clause
would place Democratic congre SIS

more undemocratic act could not

The so-called income tax, as sug.

In an editorial 1pon the gradual
wasting away of the Third party,
the Macon Telegraph says:
We have always believed the
Third party movement would finally
break down. 1t derives ita strength
mainly from the skin with which its
leaders have mirled the farmers, by
appeals TO their class feeling and by
the grossness and violence with
which they have mlsrepresented the
motives and the conduct of other
classes. They have assumed that
all who opposed their fantastic,
economic and financial theories were
corrupt and selfish, and that the
country has been governed by its
enemies. This sort of campaign
may be eff ective for a time, but is
offensive to the good sense and
patriotic sentiment of the mass of
people ard must finally break down.

RETURNING TO FIRST PRINCIPLES

1t is announced from Topeka that the
ministers of that place are going to take
a new tack on the temperance question.
or rather, are going back to first prin-
ciples, having agreed to preach a SER
mon tomorrow, each one of them, on
the theme Of personal abstinance. This
is to be followed up by a "moral
suasion" campaign, similar to the one
prosecuted throughout many of the
states farther east a few years ago, and
SO successfully in inducing scores of
thousands of persons to sign the tenn
perarce pledge and publicly declare
their remuneration of the drink habit.
1t cannot be denied that the only
practical and substantial reform ever
accomplished in the matter of drinking
and drunkenness has been along that
line Wherever the mandates of rigid
law have been invoked to suppress the
traffic, moral suasion has ceased and
personal effort abandoned, with results
that are familiar to all who are not pur-
blind.
The ministers of Topeka are to be
commenced for their renewed endea vors
in behalf Of personal temperance along
this practicable and common sense line.
The world must be redeemed from the
thralldom of iniquity through moral
suasion; it cannot be done by force, as
past ages have abundantly demonstrated.
The preacher of temperance whose zeal
is tempered with charity, and who ap-
pleals to reason, will have score of at
tentive hearers who will respect him, to
one who will listen to him who calls
upon the law and the police TO do that
which he has made no personal effort in
a rational way to accomplish.
The greatest moral reformer known
to history made no progress, with all his
re al, until "there fell as it were
scales from his eyes," But he was won
derfully successful afterward.

be taught the responsibility which She

The refusal of Queen Lii to comply
with Cleveland's terms for her restor-
alton to the throne in Hawaii, to the ex-
tent of granting full amnesty to all who
participated in her overthrow and the
setting up of provisional government,
is understood to be gratifying to Grover
rather than otherwise, and explains his
manifest willingness to turn the matter
over to congress to settle. The terms
were such that she could not comply
with, except upon guaranty from some
foreign power to protect and maintain
her on the throne, and this she could not
secure. This Mr.. Cleveland knew when
he prescribed the terms, but it afforded
him a way out of the awkward pre-
dicament into which he got himself in
trying to compromise his predecessor.

MEN AND MONEY COMING WEST.
The harder the times the vaster the a

The farder the times the vaster the ac-
cumulations of money. The less the vol
ume of circulation the greater the flood
Of currency. Never in the history of
the country were SO many millions of
idle money heaped up in the bank vaults
and safety deposits of the commercial
centers as now, never SO many dollars
hidden away and strapped up. These
vast accumulations will be enormously
increased within week by the payment
of dividends and interests on all sorts of
investments.
The mills and factories and furnaces
of the country are closed, 70 new ones
are building, the railroads are collaps
ing and majority of stocks only hold a
speculative value.
The result all around is idle millions
of men and idle millions OF money. The
questions arise what will the men do,
and where will the money 60? The
men cannot remain idle and the money
will not.
The logic of the situation points to the
west as the only field for both the men
and the money. Land as an in
vestment, and its cultivation for an en-
ploylnent, is the only solution at present
discernable.
The west was settled by waves of i'm
migration which followed in succession,
respectively, general business panics.
