line with democracy, and may be done.

LET'S DO OUR DUTY.

On Saturday next the democrats of
this county will meet to name delegates
to the county convention to be held on
the following Monday. From the
seventy-eight men who are sent to
Lexington eight will be named to rep
resent as at Kansas City on May Is.
We sincerely trust that every merchant,
banker, farmer, mechanic; in fact,
every democrat, will attend his town
ship meeting. Now is not the time to
robe ourselves with the pessimist's
raiment and rest on our oars for some
thing to happen. Let us gather up the
inspiration of the Minnesota democrats
and tell to the world that ''disheartened
we are not dismayed, checked We are
not defeated" 1t would be idle folly
for us to close our eyes to the present
condition Of the party. 1t would be
equally foolish for us to withdraw from
the harness because of q certain few
who have thwarted the will of the
people, for personal gain. Democratic
principles are the principles Of popu-
lar, wise and economic government.
They have withheld defeats, and risen
over almost insurmountable obstacles.
They are i~nalienable and God given,
and in the end will be enacted into and
become the law of the land.

point, 1t is the tendency for US to look
upon the party in despair. Congress
has been in session, with q good DEM
ocratic majority, about eight months.
Nothing, comparatively speaking, has
been accomplished toward redeeming
democratic pledges. Men who have
been intrusted with their country's
veal, commissioned to do the command
of the people, halt upon the wrong
side Of the stream. They, as If I'M
! mindful Of the honor at stake, disre-
gard the sacred pledges to the people,
and, as a natural consequence, demo-
Gratis are disheartened.
There is dissention within the demo-
cratic ranks, but the party is not hope
lessly divided. The principles OF
democracy are the same yesterday,
today and forever.
To the western democrat it seems as
II his eastern brother, holding the
balance of power, had turned his back
TO the interests OF the whole. Every
democrat now in congress was elected
on a tariff reform platform. Some OF
them, however, have gone to the enemy
and for the the time being are working
against this great principle. And upon
the currency question; the west and
south accepted the Chicago document

THE CONFEDERATE HOME.

There has been much talk concerning
the management of the Confederate
Home, since the publication, in last
Sundays Republic, of the interviews of
two of the Homes former inmates.
Elsewhere will be found a full account
of the charges, and also an account of
the present management.
The Home at Higginsville is the
pride of the heart of every Confederate
in Missouri. 1t Is a monument to the
magnanimity and generosity of the
southern soldier. 1t Is all the name
implies. Its management is most sat
isfactory. The local board, Captain
A. E. Asbury, Captain Mark l.. Belt
and Mr.. A. Wade, are all highly
esteemed and respected citizens. In
the great conflict they placed their
homes, their fortunes and their lives
upon the altar of the south. They are
in constant communication with the
Home, and would tolerate nothing that
partakes of tyranny, or v hardship,
to the disabled inmates. S%uperinten-
dent Cassell, himself an old soldier,
receives nothing but praise from those
who have watched, with interest, his
management. The general verdict has
been that she is the right man in the
right place"
The INTELLIGENCER is glad that
these two d~isgruntled confederates told
their story. 1t will cause the people
of this state to watch closer than ever
this charitable institution. 1t will be
the means of thoroughly acquainting
the comrades with the wise and efficient
management of the present superinten'
dent and curators. While we sympa'
thize with and deeply deplore the con
dition of the old heroes we are yeI
mindful of the fact that in theil
! affection and old age they are sensitive
and oftimes hard to please. 1t woult
be impossible for any man to give gen
eral satisfaction, but from what We ar,
able to learn, both from a persona
knowledge of the Home, and in con
%versation with those who are almOs
daily visitors, we conclude that tn,
management is superior, and that TIT
institution is worthy of the support ant
pride of every hero of the s.lost cause

TO HON. PATRICK WALSH.

THE TINES regrets that 1t is a day late in
offering its congratulations to Hon. Patrick
Walsh, of Augusta, Ga, of the entire
United States, and of the Western Hemi-
sphere, upon his selection by Governor
Northen to be Senator from the Empire State
of the South. The circumstances are these:
II had been expected in political circles, as
the prophets say, that this appointment would
surely fall to the lot of Hon. Hoke Smith,
the Secretary of the Interior. The TIMES was
prepared yesterday to congratulate Hon.
Hoke Smith upon his appointment. Indeed,
an able editorial article, couched in fulsome
and discriminating terms, was already in
type in this Office prepared to thunder in the
index yesterday morning. The news of Hon.
Patrick Walsh's appointment came on US sud-
denly. The only thing was to kill the Hoke
Smith editorial, as printers would technically
call the operation, and wait until this morn
ing before conveying to Hon. Patrick Walsh
this assurance of our distinguished and
lasting consideration. Mr.. Walsh is a gentle
man, a scholar, true Southern, possessing
in his makeup much of the fight. the fun,
and the poetry of the Irish race, and possess
ing, too, all the glorious quality and strain of
q glorious Americanism.

He VIII Try to Have the seigniorage Bill
Passed Over CleveIand's Veto.
The question OF passing the Bland silver
seigniorage bill over President Cleveland's
veto was to have come before the House yes
terday, and active preparations were made
by the elements for and against the Presi-
dents position. Representative Tracey,
Democrat, Of New York, sent 174 letters to
Democratic members who could be relied on
to sustain the President. The letter Is as
follows:
House OF REPRESENTATIVES, o. g.,
WASHINGTON, D. c., April Q, 1894.
SIR: MIR Bland has given notice that Tues
day, April 8, he will ask to have the seigniorage
bill passed over the Presidents veto.
i am directed by the minority members of
the Committee on Coinage. Weights, and Meas
ures to urge you to be present In the Honse that
day and TO remain until the vote has been
taken. Respectfully yours, CHARLES TRACEY.
Representative Tracey says the veto will be
sustained by large vote.
Representative Bynum Dem., Ind.) will
make speech voicing the position Of those
who favored the silver bill, but who will now
support the President
Representative McGann, Of Chicago. and
several others who voted for the bill, have sig
nided their purpose to support the veto, as
they regard allegiance to the President more
important than allegiance to this particular
bill
Representative Bland has arranged his pro-
gramme for the contest over the veto. 1t
contemplates several speeches against the
veto. There Is no limit to the debate, as the
question Of sustaining or defeating the Presi-
dents action is one Of high privilege. Mr.
Bland has resisted propositions to send the
veto to a committee, as q means Of avoiding
embarrassment to those who favored the bill
but do not want to antagonize the President
He will listen to no compromises, but insists
on debate and a vote.
