An Authority on Doctrine.


Strange as Il may seem the esteemed
Chronicle OF Augusta sets itself up as an
authority as 10 what is and what IS not
democratic doctrine Here II: When gold
and silver papers are publishing IN all
parts OF the country estimates Of the make
up Of the national democratic convention.
and in many cases conceding a majority
Of the votes to the silver side, it is cool
impudence to talk about silver coinage
not being democratic doctrine"
We take it for granted that the esteem
cd Chronicle means free. Independent and
unlimited silver coinage at the ratio of
l6 to /. but lacks the courage TO say so.
Assuming we are right. and we are sure
the Chronicle viii not dare TO say we are
not, we would like the Chronicle 10 say
what authority it is that decides what is
and what IS not democratic doctrine. Is
it not the national democratic convention
Is there any other authority II so viii
the Chronicle name it2 Taking it for grant
ed we are right. viii the Chronicle state
what national democrr tic convention has
declared in favor Of unlimited silver coin
age at the ratio of 16 10 /?
The Chronicle. if we understand it, takes
the ground that any doctrine is the doc
trine of the democratic party which has
the approval of the democrats Of a number
of states. and concerning which the news
papers are speculatng as to whether it
viii be adopted by the national convention.
This seems to US to be a rather strange
position. There was a time when many
democrats in the south and west were in
favor of the sub-treasury scheme. Does the
Chronicle hold that that scheme would
have been democratic doctrine if it had
gained such a hold in the democratic par
ty as to cause the question to be raised
as to whether it would be adopted by the
national democratic convention as a part
Of the platform of the democratic party?
Suppose the national democratic conven-
ton should refuse to put plank in its
platform declaring for unlimited silver
coinage at the ratio of 16 to l, would the
Chronicle stu contend that it is demo-
cratic doctrine? If so, on what would it
base its contention. If not, how can it now
say it is democratic doctrine. having been
rejected by the national democratic con-
vention Of 1892.
If the Chronicle fails TO answer the above
questions satisfactorily we shall not say
it is cool impudence" for it to pretend
to be an authority on democratic doctrine
or suggest anything about ignorance. sim,
we feel free to say that there is something
for the Chronicle to learn. and for its in
formation we call its attention to the
fact that the free coinage of silver at the
ratio of 1G to is. as yet. the doctrine of
only one party, namely, the populist par
ty. Many democrats and republicans APP
prove of it, but it is not either democrat
ie or a republican doctrine. and will not be
unless the national convention of either Of
those parties puts it in its platform.

The nrooI.r neclnrntion.

What hysterical condition the Crisp or
gans are in because the democratic execu-
tive committee Of Brooks county declared
that it was opposed TO voting in primary
for United States senator because it re-
garded that method of electng a senator
contrary to the spirit Of the constitution
and democratic usagel Well what is there
in that declaration to complain Of? The
Crispites don't know. They simply know
that it is not in harmony with their plans,
and so they snort and paw the earth, as
it We're, and make a great noise, but they
don't attempt to show that senatorial
primary is in keeping with the spirit of
the constitution or with democratic usage.
The Brooks county executive committee
is all right. The democrats of that
county don't want a senatorial primary
and there isn't a single reason that any
body can give why they should have one.
The constitution doesn't provide that
United States senators shall be elected by
the people and there is no precedent for a
senatorial primary in this state Neither
a state convention nor state executive
committee has advised that such a pri-
mary be held. Nobody has asked for
primary except Mr.. Crisp. and we are in
clined to think he would not have asked
for it if he had not thought It would in
crease his chances FOR getting the sena-
torship. We doubt if there is anybody in
the state so guileless as to think Mr.. Crisp
suggested a primary simply that the peo-
pie might have a chance to express their
choice for a senatorial candidate. If that
had been his object he would have accept
ed long before this Mr.. duBignon's prop
osition to hold a primary in October, when
about ten times as many people win go to
the poles as will likely TO go in June. oh,
no. Mr.. Crisp is not so considerate of the
dear people as all that He is a politician.
pretty shrewd one, and he is looking out
for his own interests.
Some of the counties have called a SEN
atorial primary for June 6. some have
| decided to hold one on the day of the
state election, and others have decided
against primary. They have all done as
they had a right to do, and those that have
concluded TO hold no senatorial primary
have not violated any law, written or IN
written, and have not disregarded any
democratic usage.

A Case for Investigntion.

1t is stated on what seems to be m
questionable authority that the young man
who was so dangerously wounded last
Saturday night had been drinking wine
in one of the Broughton street concert
halls just before the cutting affray oc-
Cured He is meme boy, only a little
more than 16 years of age, and easily led
by Others. The keeper of the place in
which the wine was obtained must have
known. that he was a minor. At least.
his appearance is so youthful as to have
caused whoever sold him wine. or per
mitted him to drink WINE on the premi-
ses. to suspect that he was a minor.
The law against selling any kind of
alcoholic drink to miner is quite severe.
For this particular case there should be
very thorough investigation by the
grand jury, at the instance Of the So
licitor general for the purpose of find
ing out whether 1t is the practice to sell
liquor to minors in this city, and whether
minors are in the habit of going to the
concert halls on Broughton street and
buying strong drink.
This is a matter in which many parents
are interested. and the grand Jury can
not do the community a greater service
than to find out whether minors are ad-
mitted to these concert halls, and if so,
whether liquor is sold to them there. There
seems to be no room for. doubt that the
young man who was hurt obtained IL
quor, and he is minor Let the matter
be inquired into.

MacveaEh to the Front.
From the Philadelphia Record Dem

Altgeld's crusade for free silver in mi
nos is being ably resisted by Hon. Frank
lin MacNeagh, democratic candidate for
United States senator at the late election
in that state, who declares that the re-
publican party is being rapidly focused
on the principles of protection and sound
money, and that if the democratic party
shall attempt a straddle It viii not be
recognizable after the fight. But if we
stand squarely against the dishonest dol
lar we shall completely eliminate the cur
rency question from the campaign. and
have an open field to meet the republic
cans on the issue of the revival of Nc
klnleylsm." This IS the best politics and
the best democracy If the Illinois DEM
ocrats have wit they will listen TO Mac
Aeagh and close their ears 10 Altgeld.

some jobbers have been buying nails for
export at 81 a key less than the American
citizen, who basks in the sunshine OF
protection" has to pay for them. The nails
have been shipped to Hamburg. where
they have been reshipped to this coun-
try without unloading. and sold in the
home market for 55 cents a key less than
the trust charges Americans for them at
the factory. The Record pointedly re-
marks that the moral of this is that nail
makers are not sufficiently protected. IT
the present tariff can give them such an
export and import trade. a tariff twice
as stiff would evidently double it,"
