Another New Political Party.

Another new political party was
recently organized at st. Louis, to
be known as the American Party,
the headquarters Of which have
been established at Detroit. The
propositions laid down in its plat
form of principles involve radical
innovations upon existing con-
ditions, and it seems very probable
that many of the reforms demanded
will never be brought about. The
new party viii advocate govern
ment ownership of railway and
telegraph lines, and dispensing with
all the precious metals as standard
of monetary value, urging that eX-
cept in the matter of Subsidiary coins
all money should be made of paper
and issued by the government in
quantities sufficient to meet the
requirements Of business. Some
very clever ideas are embodied in
the platform, but they are yoked
with such impracticable propositions
to such an extent as to render
them unavailable as a distinctive
political force of sufficient power &c
attract to its rank a very large mum
Der of the more thoughtful voters.

Whose Bad Manners?

The London Spectator in discussing
Secretary Sherman's message to Lord
Salisbury recently came to this very
pugnacious conclusions: "We fear
then, we shall only tempt the Ameri-
can politicians to insult US again if
we silently wipe away the results Of
their bad manners. But when a man
has insulted you twice, and is clearly
mistaking the meaning of your for
bearance, there is nothing for il but
to knock him down."
The Spectators voice is usually so
distinguished for mildness of tone and
Saneness Of utterance, that its threat
Of knocking somebody down sounds
as unnatural as it is uncalled for.
The Spectator seems to forget that
what Secretary Sherman is protesting
against is not insults, but undoubted
injuries. 1t makes the further mis-
take OF exalting to the rank Of "for-
bearance" what in reality is merely a
decent decorum. To ''forbear" knock
ing a man down who comes twice TO
tell you, with perhaps some pardonable
warmth, that you're robbing him
that your hand is still in his pocket for
that purpose, isn't such a heroic
thing, after all. And if there's any
knocking down TO be done it would be
well TO say less about it and 90 quietly
to work: for in any event the "Ameri-
can politicians, including John
Sherman, are likely to be quite active
in the game and win silently wipe
away the results not only Of Their
own bad manners" but Of other
| peoples as we'll

circulating a draft of a bill for e. :
tablishing such an institution in the
United States. Great Britain, among
foreign countries, was first in the en-
terprise, having established a postal
savings bank as early as 1861
and to-day nearly all enlightened
nations including France, Belgium,
Austria and Russia, have such
banks.
The Records bill provides that
deposits may be made in any post
office by the purchase of "postal
savings stamps which are sold in
denominations Of five and ten cents,
and affixed, when sold, to "postal
savings card" These cards when
the sum of a dollar in stamps is
affixed thereon, may be returned to
any post office as a regular deposit
in the postal savings bank. Interest
at two per cent. per annum is to be
paid on deposits, which deposits are
not subject to seizure, and may be
withdrawn at any time.
The benefits of such a system
would be immediate and ever in
creasing. 1t is secure, convenient,
encourages thrift, and offers accom-
modations in field that banks have
not entered-that of the small
deposits.

Anarchist Debbs.

L. V. Debbs, the great strike
header, now admits that he is an
anarchist pure and simple. Though
others have for sometime known
this, his admission will tend to
simplify matters somewhat in po-
litical way. The ; cial Democracy
is the Debbs Democracy, the
Democracy around whose standard
will rally the anarchists, and the
most debased of political factors.
This concentration into single
mass of the very worst possible
elements will weaken the Populist
party and also the Silver Democracy,
without giving the Debbs De
mocracy sufficient strength to en-
able it to do any mischief unless il
shall consent to become the tool of 6
more powerful party organization
for no one can ally himself with the
Debbs Democracy without thus
proclaiming himself an enemy tC
law and order and all governmental
authority, restraint and protection
This is something which good
citizens and law abiding people viii
refuse to do.

Iowa Gold Democrats.

The gold Democrats of Iowa are
thoroughly organized and are stoutly
resisting the encroachments of the
silver Democracy. They do not
propose to be DISTINGUISHED, nor to
accept the alternative of voting
either the Republican OF silver
Democratic ticket, and are making a
vigorous canvass, that will prove
siresome to the silver contingent.
In the meantime Republicans can
take very philosophical view Of
the situation, as a divided Demo
cracy more than fairly compensates
for the small percentage Of silver
Republicans who will join the
BRYAN party. Iowa is a great
agricultural commonwealth, and
with advancing prices for farm
products her rural voters will not
care TO aid a party whose success
would prove a menace to the
perpetuity of our free institutions.

Blood at Last.

For several weeks the hope was
quite generally INDUCED that the
great cOal-miner's strike in Pennsyl-
vania would come to an end with
out bloodshed. This hope proved a
ain one, however, rs a party of
armed deputy sheriffs fired into a
mob of strikers with deadly effect.
Friends of the strikers condemn the
action Of the deputies as having
been hasty and wholly unwarranted.
Be this is it may, while we do not
wish to defend wanton destruction
If life by armed officers Of the law,
charges that they have far exceeded
their authority should be thor Jughly
investigated before accepted IS hav-
ing been proven. Whenever an
angry and excited mob of strikers,
whether armed or not, start out to
attack and forcibly drive other men
from their work, or do any other
act which they know to be a viola
sion of law, at the same time
knowing that they will be opposed
by armed officers of the law or mill
tary forces, they do so at their peril,
and should count the possible c9nse-
quences to themselves before start
ing. We do not believ- that the
striking miners were receiving as
much for their work as should have
been paid them, but that they were
not, does not justify them in fla
GRAVITY defying all laws designed for
the security of life and property. 1t
will be a sad for this country when
sympathy for a bowling mob of
strikers shall make a successful at
tempt to punish armed deputies for
bravely performing their sworn duty
in defense of law and order, because
OF the death OF q few persons who
were wilfully and maliciously set
ting at defiance the lawfully consti-
tuted authorities one of whose
objects it is to restrain those who
have little or no regard for law. An
excited or Infatuated mob has no
conception of the rights of others,
and nothing but stern measures will
stay their destructive purposes. 1t
is unfortunate for the strikers that
such a leader as Debbs does not
have to bleed for them.
