Very much the same state of af-
fairs would prevail if the silver
standard were established in this
country. The vast wage earning
class would be paid with deprecla-
ted silver dollars having a dimin-
ished purchasing power, but they
would be charged as dollars, and
while the workers would nominal y
be getting the same wages as form
erly, they would be receiving less
actual money. This would be the
situation, and while it might be
profitable to the wage-paying class,
it would bear with great severity

NON PERSONA Charleston,

NON persona GRATA.-Secre-
tary Gresham is reported to have
demanded the recall of L. A.
Thurston, the Hawaiian Minister
at Washington, because he has
rendered himself obnoxious to the
administration, on account of his
criticism Of the policy Of the Cleve
land administration towards the
Hawaiian government. The only
surprise to us is, that Thurston or
any other sO-called Minister accre-
dited by the handful of adventu-
rers governing that unfortunate
country, should ever have been re-
ceived in al official capacity by
the Cleveland administration.
Sanford 3. Dole is an usurper-
pure and simple-and he can can
fer no more legitimacy upon his
representatives than he possesses
himself. While it is contrary ito
the policy and traditions Of the
United States government to in.
terfere in the internal affairs OF
foreign countries, its interposition
in this instance would have re.
tainet the ancient regime in posses.
sion of the reins of government.

Two Lives Saved.

Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, Of junction City,
III. was told by her doctors she had Con-
sumption and THAT there was no hope for
her, but two bottles Dr.. Kings New Dis
covery completely cured her and she
says it saved her life. Mr.. Thos. Eggers,
159 Florida St. San Francisco, suffered
from dreadful cold, approaching Con
sumption, tried without result every
thing else then bought one bottle of DR..
Kings New Discovery and in two weeks
was cured. He is naturally thankful.
1t is such results, of which these are
samples, that prove the wonderful etfica-
cy of this medicine In Coughs and Colds.

-Foar years is too long for a
Mayor to hold office. If he be a
good one the people can re.elect
him. If he be a bad one like New
Orleans now has, it is almost i'm
possible to get rid of him. We
also think that four years is too
long for State officers, unless they
be disqualified from becoming
their own successors. AS it now
is the whole four years are spent
in trying to get re elected. Gov.
Foster knows how it is Monroe

We agree with our esteemed co.
temporary that foaryears is toe long
to hold office. Give the average
Office holder a tenure of four years
in office, with the prospect of re-
election and he is Immediately
metamorphosed into an autoerat.
forgetting that he is the servant
IF the people and soon coming tc
realize the verify Of the aphorism,
II am monarch of all l survey" A
tenure of Office limited to two years
is much more conducive to a faith
ful, impartial and efficient dis
charge Of his duties by an official,
than the longer period of four
years, with the prospect and hope
of reelection.
If the term of Office is to be con.
fined to four years, let all officials
be declared ineligible for imme
diate reelection. We cannot
however, agree with the conclu
sion, intimation, insinuation, inu
endO or whatever it may be-, that
Governor Foster has been 'layine
the wires" for a reelection or rath
er for another "count in"
1t is universally conceded by
his friends, who are popularity
supposed to number two thirds O.
the people of the State and moi
controverted by the remaining
one third, that he has been the
best governor in the history Of the
State, except Claiborne, johnson
Wickiitfe, Walker, Wilt, McEn
cry, Nichols and sixteen others
whose administration of the gu
berna torial office has reflected
lustre upon themselves and honor
upon the people Of the State.

Col. lott has finally departed
for his post Of duty iD one of the
little quasi Republic Of Central
America. The people of Mauagua
will of course profit by the age,
wisdom and experience of this dis

but the citizens Of his native heath,
should not only have entered a
vigorous and fOrcible protest
against his appointment, but
should vehemently censure the

of his constitutional prerogatiyes.

PREMATURITY OF INQUIRY

The query propounded by some
of our editorial brethren, as to
who will be next Governor of Lou
isiana, while it cannot legitimately
be- classed in the category OF what
is termed prematurity OF action
by thelegal fraternity, is yet liable
to the denunclation OF prematurity
of inquiry.
1t is entirely to early too precipi.
tate long and bitter canvass,
when the people just now interest
ed in the preparation of another
crop, ought not to be diverted by
the insilious wiles of the artfnl
and scheming politicians and place
hunters, from the attempt which
is being made by them to recover
from the effects of financial disas.
ters, low price Of cotton and other
agricultural products, caused by
the little eomprehended and still
less appreciated evil of over pro-
duction and not the alleged demo

Besides, everybody knows who
will be tue next Governor, if tue
present incumbent desires-and
he is universally credited with such
ambitiOn-tO succeed himself. The
manipulation of the electoral ma.
chinery, with but slight restric.
ton upon or deviation from the
old method, is still in his hands,
capable of being used in the fur.
therance of his own interests.
Hence, if he is powerless to set

The charge that the Alliancia

half of the Cuban coast and car
Pied arms for. the insurgents, might
possibly be some excuse for this
wanton attack upon an American
ship, but we cannot see what justi.
fcation there is in the alleged fact
that the vessel was flying the Brit
ish flag. 1t is known of all men
that the British are not slow to de-
mand reparation for any insult of
fered to their flag aud it is strange,
under the circumstances, that the
commander of the Spanish vessel
should put in circulation any such
ridiculous story. The action of
the State department. in this in.
stance has been prompt, energet
&c aud in every way equal to the
emergency. The foreign policy OF
the government, under the Cleve-
land administration, is all that
could be desired, even by its polit.
ical enemies. Spain will have to
apologize and salute our flag or
show by incontrovertible evidence,
that the Spanish man of was was
not in default, when it tuyued its

Old people who require medicine to
regulate the bowels and kidneys will
find the trne remedy in Electric Bitters.
This medicine does not stimulate and
contains no whiskey nor other intoxi-

1t acts mildly on the stomach and..bowels,
adding strength and giving tone to the
organs, thereby aiding Nature in the per-

TAKING TESTIMONY.

Alexis Benoit, the defeated Pop
ulistic candidate for Congress in
the 9TH district, with the assist
ance of his political friend and at
torney, Judge a. A. Gunby, is
busily engaged in taking testimo-
ny throughout the different par
isies of the district, in support of
his contest for the seat of the Hon.
Chas. j. BOatner in the oath Con.
gress.
Beuoit's contest is about as un-
tenable as that IF Bailey for the
seat of Mr.. Ogden in this district
and wi either terminate, as III
the case Of B 'iley, in an abandon
ment of the contest or will be re.
jected by the House upon All IN
favorable report of the committee
on privileges and elections.
Bailey made a piteous and af-
fecting, bat unsuccessful appeal
to the Populists of this district, to
subscribe the necessary funds to
enable him to prosecute the con-
test. 1t is probable that the ap-
peal of Ben0it has been attended
with more success, as he has not
only served notice of contest upon
his opponent, but has paid at
toruey and we presume a sympa-
thlziug one, perambulating the
country in quest Of affidavits, who
from his ability and reputation,
might be engaged in a better
cause. 1t is possible, however,
that both contestants have been
actuated by the same motive, not
I a iona f1s desire for a seat in Con.
gress, which it is we'll known will
be decided adversely to their spu.
rious preteDtions; but the hope
and expectation of receiving the
mileage and per diem always ac
corded to unsuccessful contest
ants.
The Republican majority is al
ready sufficiently large, in fact, sc
much so as to be unwieldy. They
neither need nor desire the assist
ance Of alien recruits and If they
did, they would spurn with seorn
and contumely, the proffered CO

We are unable to perceive why
