THE most revolving spectacle ever
presented to the people of this country
by any one Of .her tholsan Dis of pub
lie men, is that which is now being
Haunted in the face of decency and
morality by Breckenridge, of Ken
lucky, in his bold and frantic efforts to
renominate himself for Congress. His
going to his church in penitence and
deep humility isa proper thing for him
to do, but when he supplements that act
by claiming that because he has given
the outward sign of penitence, his peo-
pie ought to reward him with one of the
most distinguished honors in their gift,
only shows that his sense of the eternal
fitness of things is as obtuse as his
moral perceptions, andproves only one
thing, and that is, that after all he is
only a snivelling hypocrite with the
eloquence of an angel and the impu-
dence Of the devil.

The AmerIean Tory.

A new type of citizen has appeared
tho American tory. There is nothing
to equal it IN the history of the world;
it is utterly out of character with the
age.
The American tory has low opin-
ion of the intelligence Of the masses.
He goes forther in his skepticism than
the most extreme federalist OF the last
century. The prominent figures of
Washington's time, even when urging
constitutional safeguards against sud-
den bursts of popular passion, and the
most profound and convincing faith in
the judgement of the people. That
faith to-day is the key to national pro-
gress. An assault upon it is an assault
upon the very heartstone of the repub-
lie.
We raise note of alarm at this
time; hear strange words from editors
from college professors, who cast wan
reflections upon the judgement and
and honesty of the average man; we
see men of culture attempting to res
cue aristocracy from the tomb where
popular governments has laid it, and to
undo in the library and sanctum what
was nobly done upon battle fields and
in legislative halls.
1t has come to such pass that edi-
tors like E. L. Godkin, of the New
York Evening Post, bemoan in SO
many words the rule of the people.
Tneir meaning is unmistakable. Speak
ing in the Forum Of the attitude of
educated men toward universal suf-
frage, that is, manhood suffrage, Mr.,
Godkin says: 'As general rule l
think they really mistrust or regret it,
but accept it as the inevitable" Mr..
Godkin's paper is patronized by men
who control vast material interests,
and we recognize in his voice the au-
thority of powerful classes.
Godkin in himself is nothing. AS an
editor he is type. He is an apostle,
as his paper is something of gospel of
the new dispensation of alistocracy in
land of freedom. He has hitched
his wagon to star that used to shine.
He would prefer, as Richard Henry
Lee did upon a certain occasion, that
votes be weighed instead of counted.
There are many editors in Godkin's
class, and is we'll that the issue they
now to raise should be promptly and
firmly met. -Donahoe's Magazines

THE woman suffrage movement on
the part Of New York women has
awakened the greatest interest in the
subject throughout the country, and
whether the Constitutional Convention
of the great Empire State now in session
at Albany, eliminates the word "male"
from the new Constitution at their re-
quest, or not, the question of woman's
rights-human rights-has come to be
one of the popular questions of the day,
and the best class of American citizens
strongly favor the extention Of the
franchise to women. 1t is no longer
regarded as a question of right, but OF
expediency, and upon that ground
many wise and good men and women
differ. Hence the anti-suffragists are
also being heard from; and, lead by
such women IS Mrs. Lyman Abbott,
they are certainly entitled to considera-
tion. But it is interesting to read
what some of the sovereign lords of
all" are saying about woman of late, in
the daily papers, and magazines. Sc.
cure in the mighty fortress of mascu-
line superiority, they continue to harp
at great length upon the thread-bare
string, "the physical and mental infer
iority of women" and turn to history
to prove their statements. But there
can be no just comparison between the
sexes, mentally or physically, unless
their opportunities and environments
are equal, and until of late years the
world was so full of idiots and bigots
hat women were cut off from all intel
ectual persuits. and if they had educa-
tional advantages they had to steal
them. Now, Colleges, Universities and
gymnasiums are all open to her. Trades
and professions do not exclude her.
She has been granted property rights,
and it is only a question of little time
when political rights will also be
granted her, and she will use her rights
wisely and well.

gan it's tariff tinkering, it has been a

grab her share? 1t is to head off the
action of the Louisiana Senators that
the proposition has been made in the
House to put an amendment OIL the
legislative and executive appropriation
bill, repeating the sugar b'uhty, but
its efficacy would be more than doubt
full, although there is little doubt about
its being put through the House easy
enough. But, if the Louisiana Sena
tors can defeat the tariff bill, unless
their demands are met, they can also
defeat the repeal of the sugar bounty.

THE SAME PIGHEADED OLD PARTY
BROOKLYN Eagle (Dem.),


Brooklyn Eagle (Dem.),

bent on placing itself on tbe wrong

NO NEED FOR TRUSTS TO BE BAsHFUL.
Louisville Courier Journal (Dem).
If any favored interest has been
overlooked in the Senate compromises
it will please hold up it's hand.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.
The Eagle would rather have the
Mckinley law without an income tax
than the Wilson bill with one.
Rochester Union and Advertiser.
As between the tariff bill as it now
stands in the Senate with the income
tax for the creation of $4,000, 900
surplus attached, and the Mckinley
law, we prefer the latter. Rather
no tariff act by this Congress at all
than tariff act with an income tax
foisted upon it. 4
From the Binghamton Leader.
Every Northern and Eastern Sena-
tor and Representative should take a
firm stand against the encroachments
of the income taxes, and, if necessary
even place the defeat of the tariff bill
between their constituents and the
danger that menaces them.
From the Wicomico Evening Call.
Better far defeat the whole plan of
tariff reform, frankly confess an ina
bility to formulate a law in accor-
dance with platform pledges thonat
saddle the Democratic party with the
Populistic, communistic income tax.
If reformation of the tariff must in
clude the idiosyncracies of the Popu-
list part, we must beg to be excused.
Kill the income tax at all hazards,
and if to accomplish this end it is
necessary to indefinitely postpone the
whole plan to tariff reform, postpone

WHAT DEMOCRATJOURN SAY.
Charleston News and Courier (Dem)
So long as the South continues to
send Democrats totheHouse and Senate
who take purely neighborhood view
of great questions of government and
finance, the national Democracy must
depend for leadership and guidance
upon the Democrats of the North,
East and West, who have made a
study of economic conditions, and
who are not controlled by the fear of
oath-bound constituencies.
HONESTY, FAIRNESS AND COURAGE.
indianapolis Sentinel (Dem.).
There are great many men in this
country who consider themselves poll
ticians who have never learned the

you can do is to do honestly, fairly

wonderful discovery, but it is known to

which has never been known before in
the history of the world.
