THE Courier Journal is currying the
Democratic party and the President
without fear, favor or affection. 1t
says Cleveland "has been a woful
scourge to the Democracy and the
party is without a policy and without
a head. There is no live issue upon
which its united energies can be rallied.
1t looks as though a generation of
Democratic leaders were passing off the
scene together, leaving not a gap here
and there to be filled, but an entire
fabric to be created" This seems
to us an unconditional surrender
of the whole case. AS the re-
doubtable Col. Watterson has man.
aged to get two fights on his hands at
the same time-one with the free silver
Democrats on one side and the Admin
istration "jubbub birds" on the other,
it is no wonder he's gwine to run away
to Europe. Swimming the ocean wave,
h%obnobbing with royalty, lettering
around the ivy covered ruins of feudsl
castles, quafing the amber vintage in
Partisan cafes and whirling through
the scenic grandeurs of the Continent
in a palace coach will be far more de-
lightful than the bootless task of fight
ing a fate that will be satisfied with
nothing less than the utter rout and
massacre of his party.

UNITED WE STAND.

The country has fully entered upon
an era that may be properly called the
Renaissance of Patriotism and Good
Feeling.
The causes of the wal went out in
it's fiery baptism, and from its carnage,
enough Ito incarnadine the multitude
nous seas sprang the evangel of
reconciliation stilling every discord
and closing every wound.
Dividing lines, like the Greek calends,
do not exist. The sturdy growth and
resistless expansion of a pure Ameri-
can spirit and sentiment have effaced
the vagaries and heresies of sectional
ism. Time, the healer as well as %leveler,
has removed all that incites to envy,
jealousy and hate. Internal unrest,
turmoil and strife are shadowy remi'
niscences of a past wholly ~inexcusable
when it is not viewed as a necessary
part of the Divine plan to make this
Nation as great in the purity and love
of its people as it is in the bounty of q
gracious Providence.
The once estranged and embitte red
sections, drawn together again by
common b~ereavment, mutual sympa-
thy and community of interests, have
met, greeted and embraced each other
on battleields gloriied by their sub
lime courage and hallowed by the
mingled libations of their best blood,
and with the world as an audience and
a witness have signed and sealed a
covenant of everlasting fraternity. In
a more enlarged sense than ever before
are the States of the Union though still
distinct as the waves yet one as the
sea-
To make amends for the heart burn
ings and bitternesses of a hateful last
they are building beautiful and costly
shrines where all the people, in love
with their reunited country and proud
OF its glorious advancement and grow
ing power, may worship together with
out envy, jealousy and. dishonor.

If the Republicans will let matters
stand just as they are at present until
after the Inauguration of a Republican
President, which will be March, 4,
1897, they will very materially aid the
Democratic party in working out its
own destruction. Then the time will
be ripe for an attack on the vicious
legislation that has ground the people
into the dust, and their work will tell
in the entire effacement of the ruinous
fallacies of freetradery.

Committee Meeting.

In compliance with the resolution
adopted by the Republican Congress
sional Convention at Morristown, Ten
nessee, in 1894, demanding a primary
election, the Republican Congressional
Executive Committee of the First Dis
trict of Tennessee is hereby called to
meet at the Grand Central Hotel,
Greeeneville, Tennessee. at 10 o'clock
A. NJ, on Tuesday the 21st day of
January, 1896, to designate the time
and make all necessary arrangements
for holding a primary election for the
purpose of nominating a candidate for

THEY ARE COMING ON BACK.

The object lessons of the ''hard
times" have discovered to the people
that they made a grave mistake when
they placed q party in power hostile to
the policy and methods by which they
gained fabulous wealth and masterful
independence. The rough and trying
experiences which have followed the
radical abandonment of this mag
ni6cent order of financial wisdom"
have put the people in a frame of mind
to confess their shortsightedness and
retrieve their enormous losses by an
immediate return of the sound princi-
Piles of wholesome thrift and economy.
This is IN explanation that fully ex
plains the cause to the recent Demo.
cratic defeats, ever in States where the
Republican ticket has not had hitherto
the ghost of a chance. On occasions
still fresh in memory of both victor and
vanquished the people have done their
part nobly, and in the immediate fu-
ture they will make still further ad-
vance into the Darkest Africa" of
the Democratic dominions. With an
emphasis born of the most resolute
courage and determination they de-
mand the sweeping removal of every
vestige of Democratic imbecility and
the enactment of laws and the adop-
ton of agencies and methods that will
place no restriction upon the energies
and industrial activities of the country.
Andnow, as never before, it behooves
the Republican party to give practical
effect to the courage of its convictions;
now, as never before, to be faithful to
the truth, loyal to its traditions, the
memory of its past, and its enlightened
conceptions of patriotic duty. 1t falls
upon a time when the reform of fla
grant abuses, though a difficult and
stupenduous undertaking, intrenched,
as they are, in plans and aims of cor
rupt politicians, must be accomplished
without hesitation or delay. 1t is
brought to face, not a mere suspicion
of, but an actual condition of vicious
ness which saturates the official life of
the Nation. 1t has to confront what
might be properly styled the Third
House of Congress, a wary, resource
full, thoroughly organized combine of
d%evouring men without political princi-
Piles and utilization save as they serve
its mercenary ends, which has famili.
arized itself with all the recent springs
of average human nature, knows so
well how to charm and ensnare, and
has no scruples ! employing the occult
and ingenious appliances of the lob
by to fill its Golfers at the expense of a
suffering people. Like a ravenous beast
stealing out of its den in the jungle
and shifting the scent of prey in the
tainted air, it pounces upon everything
it can find.
The immediate mission of the Re.
publican party is to lift up the Govern
ment from this low level of depraved
politics and personal ~debauchery to
the high plane of thorough American

IGNORING the South in the organiza-

politics, and will be certain to have

An Archbistop's Wit.

The stories that are told OF Arch
bishop Ryan's wit would fill small
volume. A we'll known priest called
upon him one day to ask for vaca-
ton on the ground that his health
required it. As he was noted for his
frequent absences from his parish,
the prelate could not let slip the op-
portunity. He granted the leave OF
absence promptly, with a recon-
mendation. 1.-THE physicians say
that you need a change OF air, ia
ther?" ''They do, your grace. y
"How would 1t do, then, to try the
air of your parish for a month OF
two as changer"
He demonstrated once with a priest
whose silk hat had seen its best days
before the war. II would not give
I'D that hat for 20 new ones, " said
the priest. ut belonged to my ia
Their, who fell in the rising OF 1S4S.
"And evidently fell on the hat,

Shaking Minarots Of Ispahan.

When first came in sight Of the

Instead of the graceful, airy forms of
bright colored tiles and gliding I
had anticipated I saw two construo-
tons exactly like the brick chin,neys
of an American foundry, rising some
20 or 80 fest above the roof of q
dilapidated mosque. I felt inclined
to turn tell and ride homo again.

stairs which lead to their SUBMITS.

The Rights Of Privacy.

Tho illustrated journalism now
prevalent finds its finest achieve
ments in the publication of photo
graphs surreptitiously taken. The
value does not seem to lie in the fact
that the photographs are of nota-
bilities, but that they have been
taken BY stealth when the subjects
were unconscious Of the purpose of
the person manipulating the camera.
Indeed it is a we'll known fact that
at least enc of the newspapers of
New York keeps a photographer
busy in the streets of the metropo-
lis taking snap Shots at every
person who appears to be Of conse-
quence. These are used at once or
filed away for use when occasion
arises. Now, such practices are un-
questionably invasions of the right
of privacy, but we are told by the
courts that the victims of such prac.
tees may not restrain by injunction
the publication of photographs sc
taken, but that the remedy lies in
recovery for damages.
This is no remedy at all, for the
chances would be that some dema
gogue of judge would declare thai
the hurt was but fanciful and toe
inappreciable for a merely earthly
tribunal to estimate.-North Amer
