THEY. ARE DUNGHILLS,

And They Will Not Fight, so Says
Nofool.
To the Daily LIGHT.
Mr.. Editor: Allow me to call
your attention to the following
"twaddle," in the Austin CORES
pondence of the San Antonio Ex-
press OF the 10th inst, purporting
to come from a sound money Tex
as democrat:
"Then you intend that it shall
be war to the knife next year
against the silver menu"
That's what L mean, and it
shall be the knife to the hilt and a
survival Of the flttest,as our blood
thirsty attorney general would
say"
"You expect then to form a new
party next year,"
"Call it what you please, but L
think our side will be the party Of
sound democracy and that the
other wing will be the new party"
."Do you anticipate a split next
year."
81 certainly do, and look for at
least four candidates in the field
a democratic, a republican, a popu-
list and free silver candidate"
"Then you don't class the silver
men as democrats?"
by no means. Our side will
compose the rank and file of the
democracy and we don't propose
to let the free silverites dictate to
us in the convention"
Now let me repeat the lines at
the head OF this article. They (the
sound money democrats of Texas
if any, are dunghills (not game
chickens) and won't fight.
For this the reasons are as plain
as a pike staff. In the misty past
the democratic party may have
been a party Of principles, but to.
day, it is nothing but great oppo-
sition mob, as completely without
principles as the devil is without
religion. The party has but sim
gle bond Of union; and that bond
is office, state and federal-public
plumber. How can the democracy
divide on the question of getting
office? They are all for office, none
opposed.
Do you require proof OF these
facts? Here it is. They met in
convention, last year and endorsed
Cleveland's gold standard policy
by a large majority, and then
put up and elected to office
a state ticket fully committed to
the free coinage OF silver at Is to l.
Again, the Legislature elected
with that state ticket had United
States senator to elect, and where
we're ClevelSnd's policy friends,
when Horace Chiffon was elected?
Did they chirp? Not they; and we
are now told that a majority of the
Texas state senate favors Mr.. Cleve-
lands geld policy. IL this is so,
what dupliciUy! Mills, the great
chivalric senator of Texas, steps up
to Cleveland's pie counter aud car.
ries away a postoffice for his son,
ana becomes permanent convert
TO Cleveland gold-bugism; after
advocating free coinage OF silver
for twenty years.
Old Dave Culberson follows Mills
into the Cleveland camp, carrying
a commission for his son.
But, to conclude, it makes the
average citizen tired and even
sick to hear these democratic
would-be leaders chanting the glo'
ries Of Democratic principles. They
lie in their throats,-they have nc
principles.
The full meaning of all they say,
write and print is: 81 am demo
crat,-give me and mine Office"
No Fool.

OUR PILLAR OF STRENTH.

1t is commonplace to say that Kan
sas is great in resources. 1t is a
hackneyed theme, yet ever new and
worth of a thousand repetitions. Ma
terial helps are the sinews which hold
the destiny Of our proud common
wealth TO the high level of second 10
none in state prowess and greatness.
But this is not the best, nor yet the
greatest of her inherent strength.
Corn may be king from the standpoint
of daily supplies, but our manifest des-
tiny will be the fruitage OF the in
hereDt courage and well tried patriot
ism of her people. The traitor and the
shirk find no quarter within the bor-
ders of state who bresthed natal air
amid scenes of blood and carnage. Pa
triotic pride is SO interviewer in our
state history that it becomes the
veritable warp and woof of the fabric
we have woven for all time.

CLEVELAND DIDN'T MEAN IT.

The Wall street organs are slowly
| but painfully becoming aware that
Mr.. Clevelands firm position in favor
of upholding American interests is be-
ing heartily approved by a patriotic
people. But il seems that the twist
he gave the caudal appendage of the
British bull has resulted in twisting
the understandings of the London
newspapers, or otherwise there will
come dissent from your Uncle JON
athan. The president said, it will be
remembered, among other things that
if Venezuela chose to make terms with
England on the question Of boundary
the United States would be precluded
from objecting. That is not good
Monroe doctrine. The English papers
find in the expression a loophole and
claim that Mr. Cleveland in it gives
away his whole case. We don't be-
lieve that Mt. Cleveland meant that
any such construction should be put
upon his message. He could hardly say
that the Monroe doctrine meant Amer
lea for Americans and at the same
time admit that some petty South
American state could be permitted TO
sell itself or otherwise surrender
through cupidity or timidity to a Eu-
ropean nation as a permanent hold on
this continent. Such view would
render the Monroe doctrine an absurd
ity. Under such holding England
might acquire the whole of the South
American continent, or the European
mOnarchieS by a concerted move
might appropriate all the country from
Panama to Cape Horn. Olney put it
right when he declared that the United
States was the dominant republic of
this hemisphere and that her fiat is
law for the Americas. The United
States must be sovereign on this CONT
nenL The whole spirit of Cleveland's
message is that in our own interest
and for our own welfare We must re-
sist all foreign invasion of the western
world. While the United States has
no desire to interfere with the affairs
of other nations on this continent, ii
would object If they were to invite the
monarchieS of Europe to make new
and permanent settlements on its ter
ritory. We take il that Mr.. Cleveland
did not contemplate anything of that
sort in his message. He perhaps had
an idea that the boundary line be
tween Venezuela and British Guiana
might be amicably adjusted without
inviting or permitting new aggressions
on the part of the English colonists.
If he meant that the Monroe doctrine |
could be set aside by the consent Of any
of the other nations of this continent, |
then there would be serious and wide |
spread exception taken as TO his posi- |
ficn

| heads are hereditary. The union of
| the Latin American countries, or the
| desirability Of Pan-American alliance
seems all Greek TO- the peoples OF Eu-
rope They cannot understand why
Canada. for instance, should be or
prove any menace TO the United States,

1t is because Canada is a subject and
not an independency. Canada as an
independent republic would have a
| strong ally in the United States.
DIR. Goodwin Smith in a late inter
view on the International situation
makes very plain this problem as also
what International law is. He consid-
ers it certain that ANY attempt on the
part of Great Britain to use the Amer
lean continent as a base or highway
Of war against a nation with which
the United States should be at peace
would be apt to call the Monroe senti-
ment into active play" This may
seem an extremely advanced view: but
the policy thus outlined would be en-
tirely ia harmony with the principle
adopted with respect 10 the neutrality
of the Isthmus, and of existing or pros
pective canals and railways across the
same. as well as with the fundamental
proposition that the conflicts and poll
cies of Europe shall not be projected
Whether the ''tutelary power" claim
ed by the United States to prevent any
interference by European governments
in the political self-development OF
American communities have or have
not been Incorporated into the law of
nations does not see to be "a very prac-
teal question:" says DR.. Smith. And
he continues: International law is a
law without a legislature, without a
policeman, and without a judge. Its
highest court Of appeals is the cannon.
The Monroe doctrine will be law if
America is strong enough to enforce it.
Louis Napoleon did not regard it as
law, but he nevertheless had to accept
it and retire from Mexico. In this re-
spect it seems to stand on much the
same footing as the European protect
crate of Turkey, the guaranteed inde-
pendence of Belgium and other un
derstandingS respected in diplomacy,
which rest, not on universal law, but on
the readiness of the parties interested
TO fight for their enforcement.

PIE are along the Bosphorus the

Greeks are in and on the west of Tur-

who are naturally inert, see their vine
yards and pastures, their herds and
caraTansaries, their wine and trade,
passing into the possession Of the Ar
menians. OF these Christians they
borrow money; they believe them 10
have boarded treasures. and they are
ready on small provocation to apply 10
them the rudest methods of socialstic
equalization. The feeling of the Mos
lens toward these people is that of the
Anti-Semites of Berlin toward the
Jews; and the reasons for their atti-
tude are substantially the same. The
Armenians are also in way separated
as distinct class from Islam. as they
are exempt from military duty.
A further complication is found in
the abominable revenue system OF Tur-
key. The collection of the government
income is farmed out, and the man
who will pay the most for the privilege
gets it. The collector must make his
office yield a personal revenue; as he
is entitled merely TO wnat he can
make out of his contract. His posi-
ton under government run by in
trigue and corrupt from center to cir
conference is precariOuS, and he must
make hay while the son shines" The
Armenians have money. To extort it
from them is the easiest and best
method by which the collector may be-
come enriched. If he becomes too ex-
tortionate, he can hide his rapacity by
stirring up a riot and turning the wild
tribes ON Armenian villages. Such are
the reasons alleged for the Armenian
troubles by a man who denies that
Islam is religiously fanaticaL
