PUBLIC OPINION.

There seems to be a general desire
that the police. who with their clubs
the other day so effectually suppress
ed the speakers outside the Senate
shall try their climbs on the speakers
inside the Senate. louisville Courier
Journal, Dem.
Has any sane person any doubt that
sundrv democratic Senators, in po-
sition to know what the duty on sugar
was to be, have pocketed their share
of this advance in sugar shares from
79 to 1O9, which it reached last week?
-Philadelphia Press, Rep.
Arkansas and Mississippi will be
carefully boycotted by the industrial
demagogues as soon as it is known
that there is work for thousands of
men there, and that the planters, in
dispair of lack of help, propose to
combine to import farm laborers from
Europe A Coxey campaign in a re-
gion like that would be liable to end
as the French march on Berlin did
Boston journal.
What is the true meaning of this ap-
parant deal between powerful pri-
vate corporation and the national
government. 1t means that unless the
thing is checked, punished, cried out
against from one end Of the land to the
other as the one intolerable abuse, un-
less the public awakes from its acquies-
cence in such use of legislation for
private enrichment, we shall have no
government worthy of the name. We
have no government row, if the sugar
company is not allowed to defy our
laws, but to make our laws.-Boston

II the democracy in congress makes
the blunder of fathering the income
tax it will have itself to thank Tor
whatever discomfort the party suffers
next November and in 1896. There
are leaders in the ranks, even among
those who have given reluctant con-
sent to the measure, who aver that the
passage of the income tax will mean
disaster for the party in the months
succaeding. Hthey are right at all
in their prophecy the disaster will be
widespread in its effects. 1t will car.
ry down every one of the men now
| holding leadership. Chicago Record.
The South is as safe section as any
other part OF this country. 1t gives
birth to no Coxey army business such
as is now so seriously disturbing the
west, in which New England has in.
vested so many hundreds of millions.
Had Coxey and his recruits come from
the south the papers of New England
and many in New York and Philadel
phia would have been burdened with
bitter denunciations of the whole soutf
and of everything in the south. Capt.
tai and settlers would have been warn
ed to keep away from that section, an,
the evil effects would have lasted fo
years. Manufacturers Record.
There is great deal Of populism,
great deal of the cheap money delu
sion and great deal of dislike to tn
financial policy of Cleveland and tn
administration. which has been foster
ed by politicians and newspapers TO
their own ends; but this is not tn
prevalent temper. Rather the drill
seems to be the other way, and whil
the Newton county Progress puts il
that these politicians are the only one
against the administration, that
nearer the truth than to say that tn
people of the south are antagonistic t
Cleveland and sound money. Spring
field Republican, Mug.
The refusal of majority OF the Hous
of Commons to even listen to a dis
cussion OF the question which ha,
brought together in London one of tn
most noteworthy financial conference
of the day will not prevent the agita
tion in favor of bimetalism iron
spreading and gaining new force as i
goes on. British goldolaters and thei
allies may seek to ignore the grea
and growing demand Tor the restora
ton to the worlds money, but it vii
be all In vain. Their citadel may
defended never so zealously, yet
must fall at last, and the people Q
every civilized land will have sther
own way again. Boston Globe. Dem
