w men the democrats OIL COIOTdOO as
semble in convention on the Sd proxi-
mo, the history of the past should serve
as a. guide for the future. The greatest
danger to the state is the Populist par
ty. Any movement that perpetuates
the power Of that organization is sap
ping the vitality of the state.-Kansas
City Times Dem.).
1t will take Colorado long time tc
recover from the disgrace brought upon
her by Waite. The Democrats should
lgive no encouragement to such as he
The more Mr.. Vest and Mr.. Cockrell
read the Democratic press of the state
they misrepresent the more thankful
they will be that there is no election for
senator in Missouri until 1S97.-Kansas
City Star Qnd. Dem.)
A great many senators may be thank
full there is no election for their success

! Discussing the question of the fore
closure of the Central Pacific mort

says:
demanding payment of a debt when
due. The folly of foreclosure seems to
be based on the idea that the road
would be run by the government on a
polltlcal basis and exploited by politi-
clans. That argument would be stron-
ger II those who offer it could show
any instance in which government OPP
GRAFTON OF any public business has been
anywhere as corrupt as the exploita-
ton OF these railroads by their manage
ments. This is saying nothing about
the tate of the people at the hands of
corporate managers and the govern
ment respectively
The argument for the government
control of railroads will apply to every
other business in the country.
Aunt Mary Lease, in an address Sat-
urday night, asked those present in the
audience who had ever seen a gold dol
lar to hold UP their hands. Only five
responded. Then she asked those who
owned a gold dollar to do likewise, and
one hand went up. This furnished her
a text to abuse Democrats and Repub-
leans for full two hours.-Atchison
Globe Rep).
Aunt Mary enjoys these things and
none will object to her continued en-
joyment of them
There is not a senator standing up
for the trust and protection grabs in
the German bill who could justify his
conduct before an assembly of Demo
crats-St. Louis Post Dispatch Oem.).
Trust senators have only to justify
themselves to the trusts, not to the
people.
Speaking of the civil service law and
the charge that it is intended to create
an Office holding class, the New York
Times Oem) says:
So far as the mendacious attempt to
excite national hatred on this subject
is concerned, it is only necessary to
point out, first, that the principle of
appointment for merit and not for par
ty- reasons was the principle of every
administration of the United States
when such Americans as Washington,
Jefferson, Monroe, and the Adamses
were in the executive office and direct
ed the appointing power; second, that
at that time, and until far into the sec
ond half of the present century, the
English principle was precisely the re-
verse, and, third, that at the time of
the adoption of the civil service law
now in force the English government,
under the pressure of enlightened pub
principle and adopted that of the early
presidents of the United States.
The most important service rendered
to the cause of temperance for many
years is to be credited to the Catholic
| church Bishop Watterson, of Column
bus, o., issued a pastoral letter with
drawing his approval from any and
every Catholic society having a liquor
/ dealer or saloon-keeper at its head or
among its officers until it ceased to be
so differed, and also forbiGding the ad-
mission of any one engaged in the
manufacture or sale of Intoxicating
liquors to membership in any such So
ciety in his diocese.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat Rep).
Whosoever curtails drinking and
drunkenness does a service to man
kind. Bishop Watterson's course is to
be commended.
The temper of the people, that great
mass that is weary of suffering by the
eternal conflicts between the employer
and employed at last has been mani
tested at Brazil, Ind, in which town
$1,000 has been subscribed by "citi-
zens,'' not by Capitalists" mind you,
for the purpose of prosecuting strikers
who assault or intimidate men whom
they please to call "scabs" from taking
places that the strikers have vacated
and that they refuse to reoccupy.-
Chicago lnter-Ocean Rep.).
The people have seen a great light
since Debs and his outfit endeavored
to. set up their authority in place of
that of the state and Federal govern
ments. The example of the people of
Brazil, Ind, is worthy of imitation by
other towns
The United States has taken the first
step towards the adjustment of reIa-
tons of silver to the money of the
world, in the proposition for an inter
national conference.-Boston Post
Oem.).
If other nations in this matter will
step as the United States lead, all will
be WELL
Despite the seemingly interminable
delay with the tariff there is reason to
hope that the Conference committee
Will be able shortly to agree upon a
bill which can pass both houses OF
Congress. AS measure of supreme
moment to the country no effort should
be spared to expedite it.-NeW York
Herald Qnd).
This is the hope of the country. It
is the supreme question of the Eour.
