THERE is In city of New York a
Hindoo scholar of the Jain religion,
Virchand A. Gandhi, a man of rare
powers and qualities, an orator of sim
gular eloquence. He recently deliv-
cred three discourses upon his religion
which were replete with beauty and
righteousness, and which gave their
hearers new ideas of the most ancient
of the faiths of India, which yet flour
ishes there as it fiourished four or five
thousand years ago. The attractive
appearance of the dark-faced young
sage, who, we believe, is Jain priest
of the order of sretGmbards, is rendered
yet more striking by his picturesque
garb of the finest white flannel, with
purple turban and milkwhite pointed
shoes. His purpose is not to convert
anybody to his religion. but rather to
reserve the practical fruits of Chris
tianity as it exists here, which, as he
frankly says, have not impressed him
favorably. He appeared before the
Nineteenth Century Club on Tuesday
evening as speaker upon the question,
..Why have Christian missions in In
dia failed?" and he spoke with both
modesty and freedom. He gave a var
iety of reasons why, in his opinion,
Christianity had made such a slight
impression upon the millions of India
during the hundred years In which the
greater number of them have lived
under a Christian Government, and in
which thousands of missionaries have
preached to them the Gospel in their
own tongue. Strange to say he al
legded that the morals of the natives
had greatly declined under British
rule, that the liquor and opium traffic
had greatly increased under it. and
that the people had been subjected TO
heavy hardships by reason of it. His
language was subdued and we'll guard
ed, but no one who listened to it had
any doubt of his sincerity, or of the
truthfulness of the painful revelations
which he made.

any length the company that secured
them their position might desire, to
further the designs of its officers, with
out regard to party principles or party
pledges. or even to the plain letter of
the constitution? In Mr.. Cleveland's
cabinet only one Democrat of national
reputation found place. and he is be-
lieved to have secured it by the en-
dorsement of John Sherman. Since
this Administration came into power
the people have beheld every pledge
to them spit upon. They have seen
their silver money transferred from a
credit to debt. and completely de-
monetized. in the face OF a party record
OF twenty years against that iniquity;
and in this connection they have wit
messed some of the most remarkable
conversions since Saul of Tarsus saw a
great light while on his way to Dam
ascus. They have seen Messrs. Mills
and Carlisle, whose voices once thun-
dered against the iniquity of seventy
three becoming the weak apologists Tor
that crime, and endeavoring to per-
suade a debt-cursed people that it is
the one thing they should be thankful
for. They have witnessed the passage
of bill as fruition of tariff reform
that makes all decent people hold
their noses with disgust. A bill prac.
tically dictated by the Sugar Trust and
other like aggregations of capital.

The Causes Of Defeat.

The great Democratic defeat of 1894
was made inevitable by the action of
the extra session of Congress and by
the course of the present administra-
ton. The remarkable thing about it
is, that there has been no appreciable
increase in the Republican vote. Re-
publicans can derive no encourage
ment from the returns. They are in
Office, and that is all there is of it. No
great body of voters has deserted the
ranks of the Democracy and joined
the Republican party. The Republic
can vote of 1894 is no greater than
that of 1892. Democrats did not turn
out in 1894. as they did in 1892. We
have not far to look for the reason.
The great body of the party have
hitherto looked upon its platform as
the enunciation in good faith of its
principles. They never dreamed in
1892 that any leader would be bold
enough to declare that the platform
was not binding upon the trusted serv-
ants of the party. 1t never occurred
to them that the men whom they hon
ored with high position were not sim
cere in their advocacy of the princi-
Piles lai1 down at Chicago. 1t was with
q sense OF humiliation that they heard
q Senator high in the councils of his
party declare that platforms were
masses of glittering generalities. USE
full only to catch votes, and in no sense
intended to bind the party to line OF
action.
It was with a sense of indignation
that few can comprehend they beheld
q president, placed in power by their
SURFACES. snap every restraining cord
that bound him to the platform upon
which he had been elected, and mark
out for himself path as little like the
Democracy of the fathers as hell is
like heaven. They had learned to re-
gard the Democratic party as being
peculiarly the friend Of the people.
and as existing only to secure their
welfare. Who can imagine their as

his cabinet with obscure corporation

A Few Words to Democrat"

We publish elsewhere a commune
cation signed "a Democrat, with
which we regret to say we cannot
agree, as we suppose the writer has
hitherto voted the Democratic ticket.
In the first place, we cannot admit
that Missouri is doubtful State. see
ing that the Republican vote is only
1875 greater than it was in 1892. We
see no indication of doubtfulness in
this. The difficulty with the party is
that the last two years leaders that
have been trusted to carry into effect
its principles have betrayed it into the
hands of its enemies, and have lied
to their constituents with an effron terry
that would put to shame an image of
brass. The rank and file of the par
ty have beheld men like Mills and
Carlisle become sudden converts to
the single gold standard. after years
of advocacy of the Free Coinage OF
Silver. They have seen men who
have been recognized leaders in the
party for years setting their faces reso-
lutely against any reduction of the
tariff to a revenue basis, although that
doctrine was born with the party.
They have seen so much treachery, so
little care for principle, so much truck
ling for place at the expense of every
thing that true Democrat holds sa-
cred, that. not knowing whom to trust,
they simply staid at home. Two years
will change all this. Pinchbeck Dem
ocrats will be driven out of the party,
traitors placed outside the breastwork.
and the old party will line up once
more and restore Missouri to her old
place in the Democratic column.
We assure democrat" that the de-
feat of Mr.. Bland is no more of au in
dication that a change has taken place
''in regard to silver question, than the
defeat of Mr.. Wilson is an indication
that a change has taken place in re-
gard to the tariff question. Neither
can we admit that silver as metal is
..of course reduced in value" because
we can 60 to any store in the City oil
Ironton or the Town of Pilot Knob and
with an ounce of it. or the market
price of an ounce of it, buy as many OF
the staple articles of commerce as we
could have done with the same ounce
in 1873, the time it was demonetized;
so that our friend democrat" will see
that he is mistaken.
The couutryman standing upon the
deck of a moving steamboat, it seems.
is still convinced that the banks of the
river are rapidly running by, while
the boat is standing still.
Mother Earth is not throwing out al
large quantities of silver now as she
did back in the thirties. At that time,
when silver was treated as money
metal. it had no difficulty in main
tanning its position side by side with
gold, If greater quantities of silver
were mined in the years between 1886
and 1910 than have been mined in re-
cent years, and down to 1873, it still
held its place as money metal at &
