The Direction in which We Are Drift

The Direction in which We Are Drift
ing.
The New Orleans newspapers, In their
comments on the recent outrages on the
levee in that city, say that If tho mayor
of the city and the governor Of the state
refuse to give every class Of citizens the
protection to which they are entitled an
appeal for aid will DO made TO the federal
government. The Times-Democrat, for
instance. says: IF the mayor will not act
if he dare not act in this critical entr-
gency for fear Of the consequences to him
politically, and II Gov. Foster, for any
reason. should refuse-in the event Of the
mayors failure to perform his plain duty
to restore peace and order and to pro-
tect men, irrespective of color, in their
right to labor, then the federal govern
ment will be appealed to. It has been
shown, by a long array of decisions, that
the federal government has a right to in
terfere for the protection of life and prop
erty in d case which like the present trou-
bic on the levee is so distinctly an inter-
ference with foreign commerce. And Mr..
Cleveland showed in the Chicago case,
when he sent troops to that city in the
face of Gov. Altgelds protest, that he did
not care how the local authorities might
act, or what view local prejudices might
take of the affair, he would do his full
duty in protecting interstate or foreign
commerce from the attacks of all mobs. "
Local authorities in all parts Of the
country might as well understand, and act
in accordance with that understanding,
that if they do not give protection to life
and property the people will at once ap-
peal to federal authority. No past teach
ings in respect to state rights such as
those upon which Gov. AltgeId of Illinois
based his protest against the invasion Of
that state by federal troops, at the time Of
the great railroad strike in Chicago last
summer. will restrain them. What they
want and what they will have is protec-
ton against lawlessness in whatever form
it may present itself. In New Orleans it
presented itself in the shape of an attack
upon black screwmen with the view of
preventing them from accepting work
that was offered to them.
And it may be accepted as certain that
the federal government would respond to
any appeal that might be made by the peo-
pie of any locality for protection. way
to respond would be found. one
precedent after another would be made,
each going n step farther than the other,
until the people would begin to look who'll
ly to the federal government for protec-
ton. That would be very undesirable
state of affairs, but it is what we shall see
unless municipal and state authorities do
their whole duty, and mayors and COVER
nors who, for political or other reasons,
fail to do their duty would be responsible
for it.

The Louisville Courier-Journal having
canvassed the situation thoroughly. finds
that nowhere in Kentucky are the popu-
lists showing strength enough to compli-
cate the situation in the congressional
districts. The fight is between the Dem
ocratic and Republican parties, and there
is nothing to justify the republican boast
that there will be break this time in the
democratic delegation" The republicans
are making their fight in the Third, Fifth.
Seventh and Ninth districts. The Seventh
is BreckiHridge's old district, and the
republicans are depending upon the sup
posed disaffection of his followers to
help them through. In the other three
districts they are counting upon the aid
of the populists to help them.
The Washington correspondent Of the
Baltimore Sun has learned of the deter
mination Of President Cleveland to ap-
point Brig. Gen. Euger to command of the
Army Of the United States upon the re-
tirement of Gen. Schofeld. This, according
to the Philadelphia Enquirer, would be a
somewhat peculiar proceeding, inasmuch
as Gen. Ruger is not the senior brigadier
general Of the army. Gen. Nelson A. Miles
is third in rank, after Schofeld and How
ard, and is the senior of Ruger. In the or
binary course Of events the command
should go to Miles. Gen. Ruger will him
self be retired in about two years time.
Ii Hung Chang's offer to buy of Ad-
miral Freemantle three or four of the
ships of her majesty's Asiatic feet very
we'll illustrates the Chinese estimate of the
English character. The old viceroy is re-
ported to hold the idea that the admiraFs
refusal to sell was merely a bluff to get a
bigger price. He cannot conceive of the
British having anything Of value that is
not for sale, if the prospective purchaser
will only come up to the price The Chi
nese regard the British as traders merely
and cannot understand why they should
wish to preserve the prestige or honor Of
"a mud bank in mid ocean"
Reports from various parts of the state
say that, Notwithstanding the low price
of cotton, the farmers are paying mp their
debts with more than ordinary prompt
ness. This is encouraging. It means
that the farmers are in better cir"uni-
stances than usual and are on the road to
Independence 1t may be that next year,
or the year following, they viii be able to
hold their cotton whenever they think it
advisable TO do so without asking any
/ body's advice o. permission.

1t seems that Maj. Bacon's managers
were not blumng after all when they were
claiming that their candidate would be
nominated for senator on the first ballot
He had votes to spare.
Mr. Turner was our choice for senator
for reasons that we have stated a num-
ber of times, and there is now no occasion
for repeating them. Maj. Bacon is the
choice of the democracy, and he will be
elected to the United States senate. 1t is
a very high and honorable office, and we
have no doubt that he will fill it accept
ably to the people of the state and with
great credit to himself
He has the ability to take a very promi-
nent place In that body of able men, and
as he is ambitious and industrious there
it not much doubt that long before his
term is ended he will have made a place
for himself among those who have ma
tional regulations.
Our main objection to Maj. Bacon was
that he failed to take a decided stand
in favor of sound money. In his speech
before the members of the Legislature
however he declared himself as being
against the free coinage of silver at
any ratio that would have the effect of
debasing the silver dollar. We assume
from this that he is in favor of sound
money. So keen mind as Maj. Bacons
cannot fail TO see the disasterous conse-
| quences Of forcing the country to a silver
basis.
| Mr.. Turner win be returned to the
| House and will continue TO win golden
| opinions in that body. The people OF
/ Georgia will not forget him. Such men
/ cannot be forgotten or overlooked. They
are few in number and are greatly needed
Sooner or later he is certain to be called

Several United States senators, through

have been telling young men how they
may rise to hold federal senatorships. One
or two of them are of the opinion that the
bagging of a senatorsLip is largely a mat
ter Of luck, while the Others ring various
changes on the old copybook injunction,
'Be virtuous and you will be happy"
Senator John Sherman is the champion
silverite of the United States. He de-
clared in a speech at Tifin. o., on Satur-
day night last that he is responsible for
the coinage of more silver than can be laid
at the door of any other man in the coun-
try. Yet there are some silver advocates
who attempt to create a sentiment in
favor of immediate and unconditional free
coinage by asserting that Sherman is an
enemy to silver.
