The Van Buren press., 1894-04-28

A correspondent in the Journal
of last week from Graphic, makes
the charge that Democrats have
been issued poll tax receipts
whose names are not on the books,
while Republicans have been re-
fused and says that = County
Clerk should be elected that will
treat all alike. This correspond
ent, in his effort to hurt the Dem.
ocratic party only emphasizes his
ignorance. The County Clerk has
nothing whatever to do with the
issuing of poll tax receipts, that
being the business of the Collector,
and we challenge him to bring
proof in a single case to substauti-
ate his charge. If Crawford coun-
ty had had an Assessor instead of
q Populist dummy last term there
would have been great deal less
trouble about poll tax receipts and
the County would have been
richer by considerable.

NEW ORLDANs, April 14.-The

The General commanding an.
nounees with the greatest pride
and qualification and cOngratulates
the ex-C0nfederates that the phil.
anthropic Brotherhood of United
Confederate Veterans has now
reached the number of 500 enrolled
camps, with applications for forma-
tiOn Of about 100 more and that
the gallant survivors are at last to
be all united into great fedora
ton, social, literary, historical aud
benevolent, for the benefit Of the
living and to care for the graves
and memory of "Our dead"
The General commanding urges
the heroic veterans everywhere
and expresses the earnest wish and
hope that they will all join their
comrades of the United COnfeder.
ate Veterans Association in the
peaceful, laudable, beneficient and
Christian purposes contemplated,
and that veterans and camps not

The Silver Question.
From Memphis Appeal Avalanche.

From Memphis Appeal-Avalanehe.
If Mr.. Cleveland ha l signed the
Bland seigniorage bill there would
have been little effort to resusci-
tate the POpulist party, and it now
begins to appear that something
is to be done for silver. In the
course of Mr.. Cleveland's veto
message, the following significant
paragraph was found:
II am not lnsensible to the argu-
ments in favor of coming the bull
lion seigniOrage now in the treas
ury, and / believe it could be done
safely and with advantage if the
secretary of the treasury had the
power to issue bonds at q low rate
of interest under authority, in
substitution of that now existing
and better suited to the protection
of the government
1t seems that Congressman Mey-
or, of Louisiana, has received some
information from the President
bearing on this point and he has
accordingly introduced q coinage
and bond bill which meets the
suggestion embraced in the para.
graph quoted. Mr.. Meyer voted
against the Bland bill. and, there
fore, the fact that he introduces
the new bill is held to be very
significant. Not long ago the Ap.
peal Avalanche received a letter
from one of the leaders on the
Democratic side of the house who
had voted for the repeal of the
purchase clause of the Sherman
act, but who had voted for the
Bland seigniorage bill. saying thai
the president was not opposed al
together to the coinage of the
bullion surplus. Thus we may ex
pect that something or other may
happen, and the Populists ma,
find that q campaign based upor
denunciation of Mr.. Cleveland will
be highly disappointing to them
Meantime, the declaration of fprin
ciples to be formulated by tn,
Populist gubernational convention
will be awaited with considerabl,
interest. 1t is not improbable
that it will have an exceedingl,
lively character, even though
may not be impressive.

We Arc All Alike.

From the l.. R. Democrat
The iynching ofa negro In Penn
eylvania, Illinois or Kansas does
not in any way justify the mobbing
of negroes in the South. 1t only
shows that human nature is pretty
much the same regardless OF geo.
graphical lines. There is q rebuke,
however, in the following CON-
ments of The New York Times on
u recent lynching in Pennsylvania
which is particularly appropriate !:
1.-THE reported lynching of q ne
gro brings several reflections
forcibly to the mind. One of the
first reflections that thus come
thronging is the reflection how
easy it must have been, in exciting
times, to write editorials" for the
Republican press. 1t is true that
80 far as the substance or the style
of the articles was concerned no
great difficulty attended the COM
position of them in off years. Only
when the party was wrought up
beyond the critical point by the
danger of the nation, the editorial
writer used to dismiss even his
usual very small fear of being
laughed at and let himself 60 with
with entire recklessness. The
lynching ofa negro was a godsend
to him, or, to speak less profanely,
a windfall. He squared his elbows
TO extract from it the most prOmis-
cuous and bewildering morals.
One of them was that the South
was in the saddle. Another would
naturally be that the lynching
showed the survival of the spirit
of caste, of Southern race hatred,
and of the Democratic contempt
for the toillng masses-and the
desire of the Democrats to bring
the toiling masses into contempt
by hanging representatives of the
t0iling masses without process Of
law. These morals are all more
or less dislocated by the circum-
stances of the latest lynching. 1t
did not take place in the South
but in Pennsylvania, the seat and
of Republicanism, which
gave q majority against the Demo.
Gratis and the Wilson bill at the
last election of something like
2OO,0OO. The extraction of Repub-
lican morals from the lynching
thus requires great ingenuity, and
We shall look with curiosity to the
editorial page Of The Tribune to
see what use the moral extractor
makes of his unpromising ma
terial."
The Van Buren press., 1894-04-28

The Republicans of this county
have already begun work and are
assiduously shouting "Ring" aud
"Bosses," but when cornered they
have no ring to show for all their
bowling. There is no semblance
of a '.ring" and none of the candi-
dates can be in any way traced as
belonging to ''ring." The whole
trouble is, there is nothing they
can bring up against the candidates
on the Democratic ticket and
therefore they are trying to throw
sand into the eyes Of the voters,
by shouting "ring." But the sand
won't stick.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April d.
The largest reunion ever held by
the United Confederate Veterans
was insugurated here to-day. The
convention of the order is being
held in the Winnie Davis Wigwam.
The official report shows that 40
camps of Confederate Veterans
have already been organized, and
over a hundred applications are
yet to be acted upon. Camp Har-
dee, the headquarters of the re.
union, is a scene of activity. Bust
ness is largely suspended, the
town is handsomely decorated, and
every local band, with recruits
from neighboring towns, is filling
the air with martial strains.
