DEMOCRATIC HARMONY.

Tn his speech at the unveiling or the bust of Jefferson in St. Louis a few days ago Senator Vest said some things which are peculiarly appropriate to the present democratic situation. In pleading for party harmony he said;
 When the democratic party becomes sectional, when it is narrowed down to one issue, when 1t ceases to be the party of Jefferson, then our party Is no more. You may believe in the gold standard and I in the free coinage of silver, but we can still be democrats and be loyal to the party We hear nowadays strange an- nouncements and strange doctrines from so-called democratic sources. We are told that If a majority of the party should rule one way it would be necessary for the minority to go after the worship of strange gods. If that be democracy, all my life has been lost. If that be the teaching of Jefferson, have been dolt and an idiot politically since entering the political arena"

successful operation; that the county has the best system of bikes and country roads in the state and was the first coun- ty in the state to build macadam roads; that there are a half dozen or more fruit nurseries in It's limits, one of these being the largest in the United States, If not the world; that Madison county has ex- ported more red cedar than any other county in the state iH the last fifteen years; that it has the only cedar bucket factory in the state; that 1t surpasses all the other counties in the state for the variety and quality of horticultural and agricultural products and has fully dem onstrated this fact by carrying off at every state fair the first premium for the largest and most varied display of these products.
 That it's three banks never stopped specie payments during the last financial panic, and none of it's manufactories sus- pended during that unfortunate period.
 Also, that on less than two acres or ground Mir Charles o. Shepherd of this city made this season 1900 gallons of wine, worth g a gallon, and expects to make 2500 next season.
 We could extend this exposition fur ther, but this is sufficient to just acquaint our intelligent governor of some of our resources and industrial developments of Madison county, so that he may write more fully of county that gave a ma- jority for Capt. Joseph F. Johnston in the last gubernatorial race"

principality to which Coe Forsyth is now returning. While most of the isl- ands are small, the number of them IS so great that the aggregate amount of land owned by the young mans mother is 151 GOO acres. She has been offered a half million dollars for her possessions and has scornfully refused 1t, as it is believed that the productive archipelago is now paying a large income on g, 00O.O 900.
 The life of this young mans mother the queen of these distant islands, is one of the wonders of the South seas She is the new woman of the South Pacific. The one person of her sex in that part of the world who has proved herself the possess sor of great business and executive abil- ity. Today she is managing the entire property, which consists, besides the five groupes of islands, of five large trading stores, fleet of schooners and agencies in Sydney, London and Liverpool.
 Jonas M. Coe went to Samoa many years ago. If he was not the pioneer American consul there he was one of the first. He married a native Samoan wom- an, a lovely girl made all the more lovely by the fact that an admixture with white blood had made her features regular The result of the union was the birth of the girl who has now grown up to be every where recognized as the most progressive and most interesting of island queens.
 This daughter of the American consul married Captain Farrell. who had early made investments in the Bismarck arch4 ipelago On her husbands death this wonderfully capable woman assumed the management of the property and has had 1t ever since. So full of tact has been her rule that her possessions con- z stantly grew. They are still growing, as every little while she buys another is- land. The widow became Mrs. Forsayth, and the boy was born who Is now young man of 23, just completing his first trip around the world. After the death of Forsyth the queen again mar ried this time man younger than her. self, whose name Is Paul Colbe. The queen of the Bismarck islands has al- ways been in love with America. She in- vested in trading schooners, and all of them displayed the American flag. They were under that flag until she married the Engllshman, and now they fly the British colors.
 James M Goes brother lives here, and the members of this brothers family were the relatives who went to the wharf to say goodbye to the prince. For a time he was with them at their home on Union street, for he is very proud of his grandfather, the American consul and for that reason still keeps the word Coe in his name. The young prince intends to have a. steam yacht built on his re- turn to Sydney and will name 1t the James M, COe

MIR. GLANDS VIEW.

Hon. R. P. Bland explained the result of Tuesdays balloting as follows in an in- terview:
 "Ths only states which made free sil- yer canvass were those of Kentucky and Mississippi. The whole power of the na- tional administration was brought against silver in Kentucky. and if 1t won by any majority or plurality 1t Is a re- markable victory, brought about by off, oial influence and patronage"
 Why" added Mir. Bland, "the only distinctive democratic victory of Tuesday is recorded by the Tammapy democrats of New York, who have always been op- posed to Cleveland and bis administra- ton. Free silver was not up for judg- nent Tuesday. but the national adminis- tratton was"

HOW THEY REGARD TT.

The Washington dispatches to the At lanta Constitution say that the high offi- cers of the administration are not only not shedding any tears over the result of Tuesdays elections, but many Of them secretly rejoice over them.
 They look upon the defeats in New York, Maryland, Ohio and Kentucky as vindication of the president and argue that the results were due to the desire or the "better democrats" to rebuke Sena- tors Hill, Gorman Brice and Blackburn for making war on MT. Cleveland. They do not seem to see any special significance in the vast republican majorities in Mas sschusetts, New Jersey, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Utah. Their minds seem so constituted that they cannot read Tn the returns from everywhere the true cause the deep-seated disgust with the policy of the administration.
 Hon. Leonidas Livingston or deors'a' who is in Washington. says:
 CT was amazed today when l went through the department to find democrat ic officials absolutely gloatlng oVsF .ne wreck of the democratic party 4I A where I heard the same story Ine defeat of German.

DON,T GIVE UP THE SHIP.

Under the leadership of Grover Cleve- land and his lieutenants the democratic party has been destroyed" said very prominent standardization democrat at Washington, "and today it is hopeless ly demoralized. We are in as bad con- dition as we were at the close of the war, but we are no worse off than the republicans were when they were de- feated everywhere three years ago. Polit- ical parties recuperate rapidly and we must get rid of some of the old leaders, who are dead weights. Democracy has suffered from too much German in Mary land, too much Brice in Ohio, too much the same way in several other states"
 There is so much difference of opinion as to the causes that led to the deluge the other day that it is useless to try to reconcile them. The gold men say that it was the attitude of the senate to- wards MT. Cleveland that produced dis sension. and the silver men say that it was MT. Clevelands gold policy that caused democrats to remain at home We have the fact, however, that the re- publican party shows no increase of pop ular strength. Their apparent majorities result from the abstention of democrats from the polls. In Kentucky, for ex- ample, 60, 900 democrats did not vote. The republican vote was somewhat smaller than that of the last election, if the figures of the Courier-Journal are cor rect. Why these 60,000 democrats stayed at home does not appear. Whether 1t was because they did not like the plat form or did not like the silver man for governor is the problem. It would seem that as the candidate for lieutenant governor received smaller vote than Hardin 1t was not because of dissatisfao- tion with Hardin. It was rather because the democratic party ever since the last presidential election has been deceiving the people in it's state platforms, and the people have now twice protested in thunder tones that they will stay away from the polls until they are dealt with honestly. The democrats will all come out and vote when the platforms enun- ciate in unmistakabIe terms the old democratic doctrines.
 l. There is no occasion for despair. The votes are ready when the right man strikes the time of day in honest tones. Greeley and the democracy went under in 1872, but the old party bobbed up serenely in 1876 and elected MT. Tilden to the presidency. The democratic party has as many lives as a cat. If you throw it out of tenth-stofy window 1t will light on it's feet.
