"Belief."

IAN exception has been fled against
the JOURNALS contention last week
that
there can be no such condition as "per-
monemt prosperity" under any regime this
side of the millennium.
An attorney who has evidently not
probed the subject as deeply as he has
gone into Justinan's pandects writes
believe permanent prosperity is not only
possible but probable, and that we are now
entering upon an era of that condition.
Belief" unsupported by experience,
history, or even tradition, will not
answer in this high court.
Overindulgence of that undeveloped
element of real faith was and is Mr.
Bryan's mortal failing.
So far prosperity has never been
permaneut-thatis certain.
And 1t can never be permanent with
out being HnicerSal
And when it is universal the wheel
of fortune will have stopped turning.
After all, prosperity is only for the
prosper Gus.

Never Ran from Itself.

1t is Just little amusing to hear the gold
bug prodigal democrats talk about reOrgan
izing the democratic party. 1t is like a
"backsder" trying to organize the Methodist
church.-Cumberlan Times.
Not pertinent parallel.
The Methodist church" never did
all it could to prevent a declaration in
the county convention in favor of sill
yer, leaving that duty to the State
convention.
And when the State convention had
done what the county convention APP

A Decaying Order.

The Knights of Labor have just closed their
annual session at Rochester, n. Y. AS a
labor power in this country its influence is
past Its funds have decreased and it may
be said to be bankrupt. 1t is doubtful if the
entire membership amounts to $4,000, while
the balance Of cash in the treasury was only
S32646 when its last financial year came to a
close.-Cumberlan Tines
The Times further shows that the
falling off in membership within the
last year is about l4,000; last two
years, 10000.
All this under the Sovereign regime.
Notwithstanding, Mr.. Sovereign was
reelected grand master workman for
another term, during which revival
is promised which Will convert not IL
few industrious men to a theory which
looks for at least part of their living
to organized idleness, and reclaim all
the floating backslders. This region,
among others, is to be re-entered and
Il vigorous campaign made on the old
platform-the concern of the master
workman is the concern of all.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Sovereign is in the
new free coinage campaign to win or
never give up the fight
And if there be any other lost cause
in sight it Is likely Mr.. Sovereign will
jump into it and claim his full share of
the glorles of martyrdom.

SETTLING Up"

After counting expenses it is found
that the republicans raised and spent
p millions for campaign purposes !;
the Bryanite democrats much more
than half that sum.
In short, the campaign cost both the
leading parties at least 81 loo, 200.
This, on the one hand, to teach our
common and high-school graduates,
school teachers and collegians how
to vote; on the other, to show the
farmers and other country gawks"
the profound interest felt by the silver
mine owners in their welfare.
All quite generous, but it is great
pity that the Lord, in deciding, had to
expose the side that had the most and
heaviest artillery.

\ Lost County.

Hon. J. w. st. Clair, West Virginia
statesman of leonine physique and
stentorian fluency, had the misfortune
to lose his county-a municipal division
that had voted the democratic ticket
ever since Thomas jefferson declared
in favor Of a coinage ratio based on
the average market value of silver.
Gen. St. Clair enjoyed the reputa
ton of carrying the big, populous
county of Fayette in his capacious
vest pocket, right under his heart, but
in an evil hour he let it be known that
he was teeth and toe-nails an anti
Cleveland democrat.
And now Fayette is gone and the
general is desolate.
Truly, the way Of the transgressor
is tough.
