The Liberty Bell.

Some OF the Philadelphians who boast
Of revolutionary sres are engaged In pro-
testing against the removal of the Liberty
bell from the City of Brotherly Love TO
Atlanta for exhibition for short while
during the Cotton States Exposition.
The reason given is that 1t is feared
that the old bell will become the victim of
a railroad accident during one of these
Journeys, and then where, or rather. what
would Philadelphia be? II would be like
Mecca without the prophets tomb, or
Egypt without the pyramids. or Niagara
without the falls. or Lourdes without its
grotto Heaven forefend that any such
calamity should befall Philadelphia.
But isn't ii odd that no solictude Is ever
expressed in Philadelphia as to what
might happen to the councilmanic commit
tee which always accompanies the bell
when II is sent forth TO an exposition?
Any railroad "smash-up' that would
knock the bell into atoms would quite
surely be destructive of the lives of the
councilmen: but no Philadelphia seems TO
think of this-nobody considers that the
life of a local statesman is of any yalua
the whole community's concern is about
the bell. The idea doubtless is that
councilman once lost or destroyed may be
replaced, but the Liberty bell, never.
The Liberty bell and the Spanish bull
fight are expected to be- two Of the great
features Of the Atlanta Exposition. II
the bell be withheld it will be all the
worse for American patriotism and broth
erly love- but the bull fight Will so on all

The Attack on Major SimOns.

We print THE morning long commu-
nication from the Board of Trade or the
town Of Pocahontas. Some OF the most
active men in this organization nave long
been known as bitter enemies or the
Southwest Improvement Company anu
This hostility is exhibited in numer-
pus places in the article, which the boaru
offers to the public as an answer 10
Major Simons's recently published oihclal
report. From beginning to end. this So
called answer is vituperative Of the Gov
ernor. Major Simons. and the military.
THE animus Of the communication is so
evident and so obnoxious that IL disarms
II OF much of the effect that its authors
probably expected from ii.
Nor Is II of the slightest consequence
at this late day who IL responsible for the
troops being sent first to Graham, and
from Graham to Pocahontas All Of that
straw has been threshed over and over
again, with the result that the taxpayers
of this Commonwealth are well satisfied
that the expenditure involved was a wise
one. And that the presence OF the mill
tary at Pocahontas has been the means
Of saving life and property is propos.-
ton that admits of little doubt.
From the very beginning Major Simons,
as military commandant, has acted IN
cooperation with the Sheriff of the
county, an officer who has recently been
triumphantly reelected by the people.
Notwithstanding the fact that strong
effort was made to defeat him on the
very issues which the Board of Trade
now discusses. That Major Slmons has
been tyrannizing over the people of Poca-
hontas and has deiied the laws of this
State. the people OF Richmond, where he
Is well known, are not going to believe
upon any ex parte statement. He is man
OF high character and of kindly DISPOSE
ton but with profound sense of duty,
and the courage to perform IT at all times
and in all places Knowing Simons as
well as this community does. and reading
this answer" our people may judge to
what extent the board has allowed pas
sion and prejudice TO govern its utter
ances in this matter. our volunteer
soldiers are also slurred by the board in
a reprehensibe manner, though it devotes
less attention to them than TO Major
Simons. The board likewise makes a
number of digs" at the Governor. all
of which ne WILL no doubt. be able 10
stand, and that too. without falling in
the estimation Of the general public.
In Pocahontas the feeling that exists
between the leading spirits of the board
and the Southwest company Is well
known. AS TO the origin of ii, we are
not informed, nor have we ever en-
uuired, having no concern in their quar-
rel They may fight it out in any man
per they see lit without remonstrance
from US; but we really do not think that
the board has any right TO pose as
non-partisan body. At any rate II Will
have to produce more evidence than 1t
has yet produced, TO cause our people

In O'Ferrall and Simons, and the soldier
boys who have done service at Poca-

The Administration scheme.

When he appeared some time ago be-

Mr. Carlisle said in reply to question
from Mr.. Brosius. OF Pennsylvania, that

that the government should be wholly
divorced from relations with them
excep& in so far as II was necessary TO
throw safeguards about them in order to
lnsure their stability and reliability.
Notice the word Safeguards"
II may be said that on general princi-
ples the banking systems OF the country
pught to be divorced from all connection
with the government except that connec-
ton which would seem to be necessary
In order TO make the banks issues OF

The present administration has never
committed itself TO any State-bank
scheme which we considered dangerous.

schemes considered practicable by
