The editor OF the P0pulist newspaper
at Ripley, Tenn, has been arrested on
the charge Of sedition. Rendered des-
perate by long series of Outrages per-
petrated against the most sacred right Of
American citizenship, the right to cast q
free ballot and have it counted, it would
not be surprising if the people of the
south who are endeavoring to escape
from Democratic rule, should do some
thing terrible. So long as it was be-
lieved that the southern method Of carry
ing elections was necessary to prevent
negro domination, it was sanctioned in
the south and even found some apologists
in the north. But now that new white
party has grown up. and the same old
bulldozing, ballot box stufing system ID
continued. it has become evident to right
thinking people that the primary object
of the southern oligarchy has been to
perpetuate the Democratic party in pow
er and the maintenance of white su-
premacy has been a secondary consider
alton The Tennessee editor may have
technically violated the law, but be and
his compatriots, by whatever name they
may be called, will have the sympathy
Of good citizens throughout the country
in their struggle for right and Justice.

ST. JOHNS MEETING.
He Addresses a Cheering and En-
thusiastic Audience,
REPEATS COXEY'S FAMOUS PHRASE

CritIcises EcKfnley's Tour
Twelve or fifteen hundred people heard
Ex-Governor St John speak at Hamilton
hall last night Rev. Richard Wake pre-
sided:
"Until two weeks ago." said Governor
St. John, II had not heard an old party
speech for ten years Then went in to
hear an old Democrat at Pontiac, Mich.
He started in on an audience Of 800 and
talked for two hours and they had all
left the hall but 100 1t was what might
be called q moving speech laughter.
I presume that as fast as they were con-
verted they retired
"Last Thursday afternoon I attended a
Populist meeting at my home in Olathe
I heard a man named Osborn. who they
told me is secretary Of state. From
what the papers have said I expected to
see a fire eater. I expected to see man
get up on his hind feet and
paw the air and rave like a
mailman. But l was disappointed
/ never heard a milder, more gentle
manly man IN my life. and as far he
went he told the truth, cloud applause
from Populists), but he didn't 60 far
enough, loud applause from Republic
ans( In the evening I heard Col. Harris
talk for an hour aud half, and / never
heard a more dignif1ed and sweet tenn
pered gentl6manly speech, but like o.
born he failed to come under the wire.
[ next went to hear Col. Blue. He talked
loud and he talked long, and applied a
fly blister to the Pops which withered
them like a cabbage leaf, but be also
failed like Harris to reach the wire. Not
one of these men uttered one word about
woman's ballot or the liquor traffic. and
no speech is complete without discussing
these questions. But they are not alone.
read McKinley's speech delivered the
other day, and like Blue he talked OF but
one thing, and that was a chestnut when
I was a boy; that Is the tariff (laughte-).
But he said one thing. He
said the Democrats struck
down silver, but I find in
looking over the record Of con-
gress during August Of last year that
only thirteen Republicans voted for
silver and eighty voted against it; and
still Mckinley ares to say that the
Democrats struck down silver What Is
the use to talk about it There il no
longer any difference between the Dem
ocrats and Republicans.
"The two old parties were pledged in
their platforms to BIZ metallism and the

II was up in Nebraska short time
ago. and while was riding through the
country on the cars a man came through
and called, Dinner is ready in the din
ing car An old farmer asked him how
much he wanted for his dinner He re-
piled one dollar. Holy SMOKE said the
farmer, three bushels of wheat for din
ner.' Wheat was worth 53 cents
bushel then. yes said I, and il you
take supper that will be three bushels
more, and TO sleep in the Pullman will
cost six bushels, and breakfast three
more, SO there you have If
teen bushels of wheat to live

In 1878 when a dining car dinner
cost rs cents that farmer could have
bought his dinner with one bushel Of
wheat and have had 40 cents left. And
this is the result Of Republican aud
Democratic legislation. Still" said the
speaker impressively, mckinley rides
through the country on TINS Pullman

this palace car he tells the farmers to
stick to this system and they will wear
diamonds after awhile loud and pro
longed applause.
"There is nothing in the Republican
platform on the silver question that any
one can understand. Mr.. Morrill, says
he Is in favor Of the free coinage of the
product of the American silver mines.
That doesn't mean anything. He says
he is in favor of q tariff which will keep
foreign silver out Why does he want
free trade in gold and q tariff on silver;
manifestly to give an advantage to gold.
What we want is free coinage Of silver

on qHK RUN.

To careful observer Of the political
field 50 far az Indications go, the Repub-
lican state ticket surely appears TO be q
winner If the Republicans keep up
their present gait, little doubt remains,
AID a confirmation Of the view is almost
as certain on the day after election as
death and taxes" This situation is
made clearer by the action Of the Popu-
lists in certain portions Of Kansas where
the state ticket is apparently al
most abandoned in desperate
struggle to keep control Of the
Legislature. It is asserted that
even. congressional votes are being
offered IN exchange for ballots for Popu-
list mem bers Of the house
This is q pointer to Republicans, that
while not relaxing in efforts to maintain
the vantage ground already plainly
gained on the state ticket, that special
attention from this time forward must be
given to the various legislative contests

ED HocH speaks very much to the
point in his paper, the Marion Record,
when he says: s'H. B. Kelly, the topper,
is going around over the state making
silver speeches for the Pops Making
silver speeches Is the newest humbug Of
this party Of Reform with big r The
Populist party Is a fat money party, and
not silver party. T. il the enemy and
not the friend of silver Corner any
member ofthe party you want to, and he
will advocate fiat money. PETER and
Simpson were consistent when they in
troduced bills for the demon etizatl0n Of
both gold and silver. Vincent, the man
who came very near being nominated
for governor instead Of Lewelling, said
n his Clay Center Dispatch that gold
and silver were good enough to make
gods for heathens to worship. but they
were OF no use for money purposes And
yet In spite Of these universal sentiments
Of the leaders, the party speakers per

Nh. CLEVELAND, during his public ca
reer, has given many evidences that he
never fcrgives an enemy. The latest one
is his refusal TO let Secretary Carlisle 20
up to New York and make speeches in
the interest Of David B. Hills candidacy
for the governorship. It is a hard blow
on Dir. Hill at this particular time, when
he SO badly needs all the assistance OBJ
tainable. He makes devotion to the pub
lie service the excuse, and when Mr.. Car
Isle asked the president If he didn't
think there was too much to do TO admit OF
bis going TO New York, he said, or would
have SAID if he had been 4 western man,
shat is about the size Of it," If Senator
Hill should be elected, in spite Of this
bad treatment, he will doubtless find
many ways TO retsliate on the presidents
friends.

To Supersede the Compass.

Very wonderful things are told of
the solarometer, the instrument
which is intended to take the place
of a compass on shipboard, and give
more accurate results than can posi-
bly, be obtained from that instru-
lnent, says the Hartford Courant.
Without attempting to describe its
construction, we may say that from
a single observation of a heavenly
body the exact position of the ship
in latitude and longitude may be
determined. 1t has two great adj
vantages over the compass. One
lies in its furnishing the exact posi-
ton of the ship, while the compass
can indicate only the course, leaving
the position TO be worked out by
dead reckoning or observation: The
other is that it is not affected by the
magnetism of an iron or steel vessel.
The adjustment of a compass on such
a ship has to be corrected frequently
on account of polarization of the
hull by the earths current.
