The ground was ready. and the Bryan
leaders cultivated It diligently. They were
not very successful In the crop, and at pres
emit they seem to be sowing prophecies OF
the dragons teeth sort.
It seems impossible to suppose that the
excited language Of the Washington Times
representa- a real belief, and yet there are
plenty of these ranting Electricians who
foresee a revolution" and terrible times
to como IL the Chicago platform does not
triumph. There are periods when such
ranting is dangerous, and there 10 slways q
liability that 1t may injure weak and un-
balanced natures and promote social ha-
treds and disorders. The present period is
not favorable to such sanguinary senti-
mentalism. People are ~good-natured be-
cause they are making money or expect to
make money soon. A country that is going
to get rich is not a country that can be In
duced to condemn and hate the rich and
no country is idiotic enough to have an
Outbreak because it is prosperous. The
fables and the prophecies Of the Washing.
ton Times and the other Bryanite wizards
will be laughed at by a contented people ;
and the Washington Times will have to find
some other way of becoming a plutocrat.

Silver fell again yesterday, following, no
doubt, tho plans of the GoldbuG conspirabors
against the human race and the Hon. COIN
HARVEY. The great, white, and grand OLD

day. The Democratic candidate for Governor
Of Iowa says that that sacred coin may come 10
be worth ten cents. At any rate, 1t is toleraoly
cheap and therefore ought to DO ineftably dear
to all Democrats, Populists, and Silver Repuoh'
cans. Yet every heart that is true to silver must
feel that the unfeeling conduct Of wheat In
climbing toward the ridgepole whilo bar silver
is tumbling into tho cellar deserves investiga-
ton and reproof. Shall the gigantic conspiracy
Of the Money Kings DO allowed to continue un-

high prices which come to him as q bribe from
the plutocratic enemies OF the human race and

lar is allowed to pursue its ncfarioue career, the
price Of wheat must be kept down. And no

without variation throughout the Union,
though In important States like Ohio, Ken
tucky, and Virginia, for instance, strenuous
efforts to dissuade it from 30 doing were
made by formerly influential Democrats
opposed to that platform. These Demo
Gratis did not ask that the Chicago doctrines
should be repudiated or rejected as the
Democratic standard in national cam-
paigns, but merely that they should not be

lions. They argued that there they were
not pertinent, AND that as a matter OF party

OF course, the solidity Of the Bryan De-
mocracy will not be broken by Tanmany

tion of that sort "a a proof Of treachery, and

1t is not at all reasonable to suppose,
therefore, that Mr.. CROKER has any such
design as that attributed to him by the
Herald. He is naturally an opponent Of
the Bryan Democracy, and his political and
personal associations are with its most reso-
lutte opponents. The course Of Tammany
Hall last year in supporting the Chicago plat
form destroyed his interest in the campaign
and he returned to England in disgust, not
even staying to vote at the election.
II, then, Mr.. CROKER is really coming
back with any view to taking an active
part In New York politics, that purpose
cannot be to resume the leadership of Tam
many Hall, now committed to a policy
against which, by reason of his interests
n his convictions, he Is as bitterly ar
rayed as Mr.. WHITNEY himself. That the
Tammany Bryanites regard him as their
implacable enemy is demonstrated by the
fierce assaults upon him and his motives,
which are made by the Bryanite and Tam

Moreover, Mr.. RICHARD CROKER Is an
astute man and a sagacious politician.

The National Democrats Issue.

with the removal OF the tariff from the
field Of politics the National Democrats,
protesting as loudly as ever their devotion
to honest money, but bent frat Of all upon
Increasing the. votes for their own party
organization, no matter whom 1t hurts,
have been looking for an issue on which to
live. We know of no newspaper better en-
titled to represent the National Democrats
than the Louisville Courier.JourndI, and
Judging by the way in which the Courier
Journal notifies a ~neighbor that 1t will
not Join the Republicans, we conclude that
the issue Is found
Tho National Democrats are not content merely
TO oppose bad money they want to reform our cur
rency system and make our money as good as the
best. They made common cause with the Repub-
lieans last year in def ating free silver and unlimited
nat paper hut they went further In their platform
than the Republican, went in tbeirs. They not only
opposed free silver and nat paper. but they demanded
the reform OF the existing system. The Republicans
made no such demand and made no such pledge.
Free silver has been prevented. but the needed rs-
form Of our present currency has not been accom-.
plished or undertaken. For this reform. as well Is
for tariH reform, the National Democrats propose to
night. All who desire such reforms are cordially in.
vited to make common cause with the National
Democrats in securing them"
Tariff reform comes in. Of course, as a life
mer,ber; but currency reform, by turning
over to the banks the Governmental func-
tion Of issuing money, must constitute the
bulk Of the National Democrats platform.
Politics is a very powerful passion, and
the National Democratic will have a pol.

Our Missionaries in China.

The brief period of respite from mob out
RACES which the American and European
missions in China have been enjoying seems
to have come to an end. The attack at
Ching Chou upon a boat In which some OF
our missionaries were travelling was a
gross outrage, although fortunately no In
jury seems to have been done to the party,
which soldiers promptly rescued. Far more
serious was the destruction Of the entire
mission Of the Plymouth Brethren at
wucher by q mob. There the twelve men
and Eve women who escaped to the hills
lost everything in their buildings, and some
of them were injured by missiles. One ac-
count says that in Kiangsi there have been
five missionary riots in five weeks.
The interference of Chinese soldiers to
aid the missionaries at Ching Chou. and
their successful protection Of the Roman
Catholic mission which the mob was ready
to attack after the Wuchen affair. are
satisfactory. But should 1t be necessary to
call upon our naval forces to protect the
missionaries, they will be- found sufficient
for that purpose. Admiral MCNAIR now
has on the Asiatio station the flagship
Olympia and the Boston, Yorktown,
Machias. Monocacy, and Petrol. Out of
these six vessels a considerable force Of
bluejackets and marines can be gathered.
We need, therefore, feel less apprehension
of any serious disaster, especially as the
Chinese Government has learned that mob
violence is q costly and dangerous game.
As to the source of the troubles, it ap-
pears to be merely the old one revived. The
missionaries open schools for the native chill
dren, and having, perhaps. more hope of the
rising generation han of their elders, use
all inducements to have them come In.
Sometimes, we believe, they hire or buy the
approval Of the parents. Occasionally this
anxiety to get the youngsters looks sinis-
ter, and the rumor spreads that the for
eigners kill the children in order to use
their bodies in making magic potious for
incantations. In some cases of disappear
anc of the children a tumult results, and
that seems to have been the source of two
of the latest riots.
But our missionaries can be assured Of
full indemnity for their injuries and losses.
For property destroyed at Canton, at Tien-
tsin, at C%hinkiang, and various other places
in past years, our citizens have received
ample compensation. Under our claims
Commission China paid more than $780,
600, and did not ask a representative COM
mission. 1t was afterward und that she
had paid too much. and the balance was
restored to her. But the recent outrages
will be atoned for, SO far as money can do it.

Tho Political Views OF Jurymeu.

In a trial before Recorder GoFT In the
Court OF General Sessions on Monday, the
Assistant District Attorney questioned
many Of the proposed Jurors in regard to
their political preferences. and the counsel
for the defendant followed his example In
this respect and inquired Of each talesman
what was his political party.
The case was a criminal prosecution for
procuring the false registration of u voter,
the defendant being a Tammany Hall Elec-
tion district Captain in the Eighth Assem-
bly, district.
The Recorder did not like the interroga-
tories concerning the political Affiliations OF
the citizens who were drawn as jurors, and
he finally ~admonisbed the lawyers that
party politics had no place in the trial, and
went on to say:
"It IL very unfortunate that they have been intro
duced. It Is against my wish that counsel have asked
such questions, II matters not whether q juror be q
Democrat or a Republican or an independent. Every
good citizen is patriotic enough to decide the question
OF q mans guilt or Innocence Irrespective OF what
party he may happen to belong to. Politics will
have no part whatever in this trial with my consent"
The Court was quite right in the idea
that good citizens would not allow politics
to influence their conduct as jurors and
the meir fact that a proposed juror belonged
to one party rather than another consti-
tutes no legal reason for his rejection.
When considered, however. in connection
with other matters which may be disclosed
in the course of the examination, the politi-
cal predictions or relations of the pro-
posed juror, especially If he makes politics
his principal pursuit, may well be taken
into account in deciding whether to exer-
else the right of peremptory challenge.
whereby either party may reject the tales
man without assigning any reason.
In this light, Recorder Corr appears to
have ruled correctly in allowing the ques-
tions to be asked but II SO, he should not
have rebuked counsel for asking them, or
have characterized their procedure in this
respect as unfortunate. 1t is never unfor-
tunate in the view Of the law that suitors
or counsel should avail themselves of their
legal rights. If it were against the Re.
corder's wish that these proposed jurors
were examined concerning their politics,
as he said it was. why did he permit the
examination 1t should not have been
against his wish, or the other hand, and
there was no occasion for him to say so il
the examination was proper, as we suppose
it was.
We think a Judge should be careful not
to scold lawyers for doing what he himself
permits them to do.
