The supreme efforts of the republican national convention will be in the direc- ton of devising a financial plank for their platform that will deceive the peo. pie, especially the friends of silver. Whatever their platform may say on the question, their administration, should they elect the president, will be for the gold standard and nothing less. Any free silver man who votes the republican ticket this year hoping for any favor for the white metal from that source is just too green to be pulled

How much a radical congressman val ues the right of American citizens to choose their own rulers is indicated by the pertinacious effort of Judge (so- called) Daniels to rush the Aldrich1Un- derwood contest through the house in fifty minutes The testimony in the case fills 300 closely printed pages, and to ex- anime it on this schedule would require the reading of eighteen pages minute. The truth is, Daniels knew that the ease of which he was acting as shameless partisan, and not as judge, as he pre- tended, was simply infamous, and could not bear examination, It was driven through under the party lash by paltry majority of seven; and so utterly want ing was it in merit that fifty-three re- publicans-nearly one-third of all voting branded it an outrage on justice and the rights of the people by voting against it. A full exposure of the villainy would have insured its defeat

An idea of the 'good times" that may be expected to ensue from free silver coinage may be gained from the fact that yesterday, on the heels of the news of free coinage victories, both cotton and wheat dropped off heavily.-Atlanta Journal

The report that w. C. P. Breckinridge would be candidate for congress- again this fall brings forth the following from the Chattanooga News: "The political remains of Hon. w. c. P. Breckinridge late of Kentucky, are to make an earnest plea for resurrection at the coming con- gressional convention. Had the voters of his old district resorted to cremation instead of cauterization when they last had the odorsferous personality of their late representative before them they might have been relieved of their pres ent embarrassment. We have an abid- ing faith that the. good women of Mr. Breckinridge's former district will see that no stone is rolled away from his political sepulchre."

The first session of the Fiftyfdurth congress-, just adjourned, has been the most recklessly extravagant and incom- petent that ever assembled in the na- tional capitol. Upon a treasury whose bankrupt condition is due more to the disastrous republican legislation of the last thirty years than to any other or all causes, it made drafts which, will amount to more than s60OO0O, ,OO0. The Fifty-first congress is known as Reed s billion dollar congress" but the pros poets are that the expenditures and ap- populations of the present congress will far exceed that amount. And it has done and will do absolutely nothing for the relief of the people. Republican legisla- tion has always been a blessing to the classes, but scourge to the tqiling masses of the country g s'

 If the State Herald will permit us we shall remain in the democratic party and continue to believe in and advocate sound money and huzza for Cleveland and Carlisle.
 If the editor of the Decatur News cares only to remain in the party by permit and the State Herald is se- lected to pass on the case, we, having fairly diagnosed his case and its bearing on the democratic party, decide that the editor of the Decatur News be either excused from active duty, re- tired or exchanged for penitent popu- list of Morgan county who desires to re- enlist in the democratic ranks. The dem ocratic party wants as few as possible in the hospitals this year, and especially does it not want any but trusty soldiers on picket duty. The Decatur editor has already said enough to be court-mar- tialed, but for valiant services in past battles let him be honorably discharged. As a matter of fact, there is no room now for soldiers in the democratic army who insist that their duty consists only in huzzahing for the British gold stand ard, Cleveland and Carlisle-one policy and two men that have been overwhelm- ingly repudlated. .o

The Courier sees fit to misrepre- sent and snarl at the JouRSAL-MNEs on account of the water question. Without wasting any words in reply to the petty, malicious snarls which it indulges in, which can do no possible good towards solving this much veysd problem, the position of this paper can be defined briefly and tersely as follows: It is in favor of securing an adequate supply oI water for the present population oj the place. It fsvors 8 system cf sewerage as san Iry measure. m order to secure thes, two measures. it favors petitioning Congress to pass a law authorizing the city to submit to a vote of the people. tho question of issuing bonds to accom- plish 1t. It is not in favor of issu- ing a single dollars worth of bonds in excess of the actual necessities of the case. 1t does not favor giving the Prescott waterworks away to any individual, association or corp a ton, or of leasing the same without . guarantee of something in return It would not object to a transfer of them to private individuals for a reasonable length of time, provided the city received quid pro quo. in return, Our contemporary sets itself up as the immaculate fnsnd of the city's interests and tax payers, and takes occasion to misrepresent and snarl at the JOURNAL MINER on nearly every question. We doubt seriously if there is any great difference of opinion on this subject between the two papers, hence we can see no occasion for petty bickerings or backbiting. If any of the pEoPosi- tions above stated are not for the interest of tax payers or for the city's best interests, let us have light on the subject in a manly, straight forward way, and not by insinua- tions, slurs and exhibitions of venom or spite. Nothing can be gained by such methods as that.

Judges with Mother Hubbards.

The West Newton, Pennsylvania, Sun gives the judges of that state the following swipe on account of their wearing gowns: The judges of the superior court of this state, at their recent session in Scranton. wore new silk gowns. It is probable that this batch of men think that the Mother Hubbard vestments add dignity % their position. It all seems as silly as putting a lot of plug horses in pantalettes.
