TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST !, 1894.

THE result of the recent democratic
primary in Richmond has by no means
tended to enthuse the democrats there
or in other part of the State, as tne
vote was exceedingly small, many OF
the former working democrats holding
aloof from it, and assigning as their
reason for doing so, the statement that
they didn't know how they would vote
next November. The defeat OF MI
Wise seems not to be due to objections
to him personally, but to the prevail
ing dissatisfaction and discomfort
among the democrats and to desire
for a change, no matter what. Nor Is
That feeling solely attributable, as the
cuckoos try to make it appear, to Con-
eress. The delay of that body IN
raising the tariff bill is provoking, TO
be sure, but the belief is rapidly spread
ing that were it not for the influence OF
the other end of Pennsylvania avenue,
there would have been no such delay;
and then, too, there are many other
White House proceedings that have not
tended to make the hearts Of the rank
and file of the democracy swell with
low. Such condition is by no means
Indicative ofsuccess at the approaching
congressional elections.

AMONG the officers of the L. S. House
of Representatives, at least, if not among
the members thereof, there are some
old time democrats, so old timey that,
IN speaking of the republicans, they
still call them "abolitionists," as they
used to do in the good old times, when
the democratic cry was: "Crow Chap
man. Crow !" and when there was no
other name under heaven by which re-
publicans could be called, except abo-
litiouists; and that is theirproper name,
for they have abolished nearly all the
good, and most of the prosperity of the
country, certainly of this part of it.

IF NORTHERN newspapers are to be
credited, the President has had federal
detectives detailed from their regular
work, in order to guard his family. AS
the expense of government vessels Is
little, if any, more when taking MT
Cleveland on his Fishing" trips than
when not SO engaged, complaints OF his
taking such public property for his own
private use without compensation are
unheeded by average men; but to make
public officers abandon their duty, and
devote the time for whichthey are paid
by the U. S. Treasury, in order to
guard his wife and children at a sum
mer resort, is what many others beside
the captious do not approve. under
the Constitution, the protection OF the
Presidents family is no more the duty
of the government, than is that OF Its
most obscure subject.

JUDGING from what Mr.. VOORHEES,
SAYS, he seems to think that as the Sen
ate insists on high protective duty on
sugar, for the benefit of the Northern
sugar trust, it should concede free coal,
at the expense of Virginia, for the ben
eft of Northern coal trust whose
mines are in Canada. AS Senator
elect Martin, of Virginia says, there
may be eminent Justice in the lndi'
ana Senator's talk, but if so, certainly
the majority of the democrats in Fir-
einia don't recognize it. True demo-
Gratis are in favor of free trade; but few
of those in Virginia can understand
why the last yestige of protection
should be taken off product of their
State, while high protective duty is
laid upon those Of Northern States.

May, and from II to sc. higher than

corn. The uproar was continuous, the
frantic bids outnumbering the offerings
two to one. The unbroken drought
throughout the west was the motive for
the unusual activity.

THE administration has been wise
enough to decline propositions from
other governments to unite with them
in interfering with the war between
China and Japan. For having done so
it has received the approval of most
all the right thinking men of the coun.
try. 1t should not forfeit that approval
now by yielding to the demand of the
Northern jingoes, that large fleet be
sent to China. In wars, as in riots,
there is always danger to bystanders.
The safest course to pursue in both is
to keen away from them.
