If Senator Morgsn's report on the Ha-
waiian investigation is what it is understood
to be, the Democrats in Congress will do
well not to dissent therefrom. 1t is under
stood that Mr. Morgan, appreciating the
tenable position of Minister Stevens has
not deemed it good politics to criticise it
and has found that he acted in accordance
with traditional customs and under general
instructions. This. of course, is unpleasant
medicine for the "cuckoos' but they should
bear in mind the indefensble spd disgusting
spectacle the administration has made of it.

Republican caucuses.

The attention of Augusta Republicans 10
earnestly called to the notices of the city
and ward caucuses published elsewhere in
this issue. We feel confident that all will
heartily commend the wisdom of tie plan
which the committee has devised for Il con-
duct of these primaries. In them the rights
and privileges of all members of the party
are carefully guarded, and the freest possible
expression of individual preference invited.
Any ten Republicans can nominate candi-
date for mayor, or for either branch of the
city government from the ward in which
they reside, and his name will be printed
upon the caucus ticket.
With such a plan, the nominations to be
made at the coming caucuses cannot fail to
represent the honest, independent wishes
of the Republicans of this city, and will
merit, in the fullest degree, a
united and cordial support at the
polls. We believe that they will be tri-
umphantly elected. Augusta Republicans
appreciate the importance of presenting an
unbroken front this spring, and the indica-
tons are not lacking that they will have the
hearty support of many Democrats who

Reform in the Marriage Laws.

The question of reform of our marriage
laws has received great deal of attention
in recent years, and many have been the
plans proposed for bringing about better
condition of affairs in this connection. Dr..
Henrietta Heating proposes the following
remedies:
l. A law prohibiting those who have been
convicted of capital crime, or been resen
fenced for any crime, contracting marriage.
2. A law prohibiting those proven to be
habitual drunkards, or suffering from any
incurable disease, from contracting mar
rage. 3. A law compelling the removal of
the children of depraved parents from their
control and influence. 4. A law to compel
all criminals to be self-supporting.
We do not know that DR.. Heating has
endeavored to suggest any methods of de-
tail by which these sweeping reforms can
be given practical application to the af-
fairs of everyday life. This seems to be .
failing of vast number of our
professional reformers. 1t is q very
easy matter to formulate Utopian schemes
for the regeneration Of mankind, but it is
quite another matter to put them into prac-
teal operation. The reforms proposed BY
DR.. Heating are 10 the direction of social
ism. They give to the State powers that
they take from its individual citizens. They
limit the circle of personal liberty. Such
laws would be very difficult of enforcement,
and if enforced it is doubtful if they would
contribute materially to the betterment OF
society. Matrimony should not be discour-
aged in this country. 1t should rather be
encouraged. Reformers must look at al
sides of the questions they attempt to deal
with, and exercise great care lest, in en-.
deavoring to rid society from one class OF
evils, they do not stimulate others of a
worse character and far more difficult to
deal with.

"a Change" For Farmers.

Wheat at 62 3-S cents bushel at New
York is not price likely to impress west
ern farmers with the sense of the beauties
of "a change" 1t is the lowest price ever
known in the history of the country. In
almost every month since the Democratic
party took control of the government a
year ago, lower quotations than were ever
known before that transfer Of power have
been made. A few days before President
Cleveland was elected. when most of his
friends considered his election already
certain, 70 SIS cents was recorded, and
prior to that rs cents in 1884, a price paid
only day or two in the year Of panic and
of President Cleveland's first election,
was the lowest price known since 1925.
Thus single year Of Democratic control
in all branches of the government has
brought price much below the forme,
low water mark of the century.
The astonishingly low price during the
last year, it must be rememb ered, has
come in spite of a remarkable decrease in
the yield. 1t is not the result of eXtraor-
binary crops, as the low price was two
years ago, when crop of much over 60O,-
600, 600 bushels in 1891 had been followed
by another now known to have been about
$50, 0O0, 600 bushels in 1892. For it was well
known that spring that much Of the win
ter wheat had been killed. so that the
yield in 1893 could not be as large as
usual. and according to the official esti-
mates published by President Cleveland's
secretary of agriculture, the yield was
only 396, COO, 600 bushels If correct, this
estimate means that the farmers lost
more than fifth of their wheat and the
natural compensation for such disaster
is higher price for the limited quantity
produced. But with every reason to ex-
pect better prices than two great crops
had brought them, the farmers have been
obliged to face fall of % cents per bushel
from the average price of 1892, and a. 1-2
cents from the average price of 1891.
Political changes. some will say, have
had nothing to do with the price of
wheat. But in that case why did the
Democratic and Populist demagogues
clamor, month after month, in all the
farming states of the west, for a change

preston and injury Either these dema-
gogues were classifying or they really be-
lieved that Republican rule had been
hurtful to the farmer. 1t they so be-
lieved, what have they to say to the
frightful losses which one year of Democ-
racy has brought? Instead of the better
prices for which they clamored and voted.
and which n short crop would naturally
have given them, the farmers have real
lied loss of 2s cents per bushel from the
average New York price in 1892. which
would mean more than SIP, 100000 in the
value of their wheat crop
Nor can it be denied that the political
change has been an important cause of
the panic, the prostration of industries
and the phenomenally low prices prevail
ing. 1t is not as if wheat alone had been
depressed on account of peculiar condi-
tons in that one market. Wool also has
sold at the lowest prices ever known i'll
this country, because the party now i'll
power proposes to have free trade in wool.
Pig iron, cotton goods, wooden goods, are
lower than ever because of threatened
changes of duties. The prostration OF
business throughout the country which
the apprehension of a change has pro-
duced is the direct consequences of the
transfer of political power, and the direct
cause of extraordinary depression in
prices of important staples. The farmer
shares, and always must share, the disas-
tiers which visit the manufacturing and
commercial states by which his products
are largely consumed.
There exist no means of determining
with certainty from year to year the con
,umption of product like wheat, be
,ause no reliance can any longer be
placed upon estimates of the yield by the
department How far the consumption
of wheat has been diminished by the ina
bility Of millions of working people and
those dependent on them to purchase
their accustomed supplies it is impossible
tosay But general prostration of indus
try, a reduction of 20 per cent in the
wages paid to manufacturing and me-
chanical labor, and denial of employment
to millions of men and women, do inevi-
tably result in smaller purchases of every
thing consumed in the family, whether
from the farm, the mine or the mill. A
policy which cuts down the wages of
American labor and drives labor out of
employment, also cuts down the price
which the farmer can get for his wheat.
