When the Southern Democracy awakes
to q realization of the momentus fact that
tie South as 4 section is more dependent
for prosperity upon mining aud manu-
featuring than upon agriculture, and that
the interests are identified with reason
able protective policy rather than with a
tariff for revenue only, then shall we see
the dawn of brighter and better times in
business as well as in politics. Indeed, it
requires but little penetration to discern
that the South now needs protection inf
nitely more than any other section Of this
country especially more than the North
and East Petersburg Index-Appeal.

IT looks very much like the Cretan diff
Guilty will yet provoke war in Europe.
Greece does not accept the settlement pro-
posed by the larger powers Of Europe, and
both Turkey and Greece continue to pre-
pare for war. The masses of the people in
England and other Christian countries do
not endorse the proposed settlement sug-
gested by Lord Salisbury. Our sympathy
is with Greece as against the brutal Turks.

TIE reason urged by the advocates Of a
Constitutional Convention for holding
such convention, is to devise means for
a more economical administration of the
State government. The real object is to
disfranchise 4 large number of voters. If
not, why do all of them advocate prop
erty qualification for voting? Some even
go so far sa 10 propose property qualili-
cation. The cloyen foot sticks out from
the robe of economy which these tricksters
are wearing.

ouR RELArlcNs WITH CUBA.

Their. can be no question that the SYM
pathv Of the great mass Of the American
PEOPLE is with the suffering Cuban patriots
It would be unnatural if the people OF the
United State, whose forefathers fought
for and secured their liberty, just as the
Cubans are now trying to do, should have
any liberation for the cruel efforts of the
Spanish government TO hold Cuba in sub
lection. Our people, in public meetings,
through the press and by the introduction
Of resolutions in both houses Of Congress
have been constantly giving expression to
their feelings and commisserations Sor the
Cuban insurgents; ana at times it has
looked as if our government would be
driven to the point Of interference by the
force of public sentiment. Our govern
n.ent, however, has been reluctant to IN
terfere, and theprescnt administration has
been cansured 10y a great many for its
seeming slowness of action. MIR. Cleye-
land, perhaps, may have acted unwisely
in his conduct of the matter but we
are not of those who Lelioyc that he has
been controlled Ivy indificrenceor inlluenc-
ed by selfish motives, In his annual
message at the present session Of Congress
he dealt very fully ana frankly with our
relations with Cuba, and declared that if
certain conditions arose it would become
necessary for the United States to inter
pose. Thinking that Mr.. Cleveland Was
we'll informed as 70 the situation, through
especially selected representative at lIav-
ana, Gen. Fitzhugh Ice, tie public mind
was to an extent relieved, and more conser-
vatiye feeling on the yexed question re-
suited. Our treaty and trade relations
with Spain as 8 friendly nation, presented
themselves ni:h more force than they had
done prior TO the giving out Of the rrcsi-
dents. message.
Tie extreme conditions that Nj. C.cvc-
land spoke of il his message appear to
lave now arrived. The life and property
Of Americ,a citizens are no longer safe in
Cuba. The rules Of That island have been
misled or encouraged by tic extreme re-
}uctance Of CIR government to interfere in
its affairs. Tie President was placed in a
most awkward situation. lfhc had taken
any decide! action ;h&t would have pro-
vokel hosti,i;ics with Spain he would
have been charge, With waiting until lis
administration was aJou; closed for stirring
up hornets nest ior the incoming admin
istrat;an to feIit. And by declining TO Go
anything he is confronted with the OPP
posite cl,a'gcof being too cowardly to face
the situation and with having unloadel it
Gu Nj. Mckinley.

to take charge Of the difficult question,

Tazewell county, or some merchant who

The Philadelphia Record, whichisa low
rif'Democratic paper is criticising The new
tariff bill, which is. now being framed by
the Ways and Means committee, because
tputs heavy duty on hemp and fax. 1t
says duty on hemp and flax will be hurt
full to the manufacturers. This is about
up to line with Democracy on the tariff
question. In one breath it charges that
he tariff policy of the Republican party
is shaped 70 suit the manufacturers, and III
the next declares that it will be hurlful to
the manufacturers. 1t is not the desire or
design Of the Republicans party TO protect
any one interest more than another, or
that one class Of industries shall flourish
at the expense Of every other. The new
tariff bill which Is now being framed will
seek to advance the interests Of farmers.
manufacturers, laborers and all classes OF
business men. 1t will be protective and,
therefore, Republican. OF course it will
not suit Democratic politicians and news
papers, but it will suit the people.

Solomon Has Troubles.

Things are getting very complicated
in Solomon. A man can't have q
fight without calling in the officers.
The Tribune tells of one instance this
week: ut seems that I. j. Edworthy
owed Geo. Stevens for weaving a car
pet and Stevens owed Edworthy for
some work done on a pair of shoes.
In trying to make settlement the
dispute grew into a fight in which
Edworthy was knocked down and re-
ceived some severe punishment.
When the dust cleared away Edworthy
arose and Stevens retired to his home
with a badly cut hand, supposed to
have been cut by glass. Edworthy
tried to have Stevens arrested here
but was unsuccessful and drove to
Abilene for the same purpose"
The complaint was made in Quinn's
court and Stevens arrested. He gave
bond for appearance next Wednesday,.

The Wichita Star comments on the
practice meeting Of the local com
pany of state militia thus. "The
few strike troubles that have brought
them out have demonstrated that
most of them couldn't hit a flock of
balloons at gun barrels length. At
the sham battle on our fair ground
three years ago the whole of the End
brigade blazed at each other inside
the race track and one excited brave
shot off his ramrod into the thick Of
the fight and it hit Tom Cartwright's
Jersey bull over in the next pasture.
Let the good work of practicing 60
on, so If we ever have to invade
Missouri or Arkansas some man in the
company can hope occasionally to hit
the side of barn in a hand to hand
engagement The state is not doing
so badly in disbanding the companies.

This Is the Stuff

The ideal Pop is Reuben named
Hubbard who was put in the Hutchln-
son reformatory by Gov. Leedy a few
weeks ago. He made~a talk to the
boys after Sunday school last Sunday
Mr.. Hubbard began well. He told the
copyicts of Christ and how He always
told the truth. Then he compared
himself as their teacher to Christ and
assured the boys that they could de-
pend on anything he should tell them,
whether about religion, morals or pol
tiles, Just as they could upon the
teachings of Jesus. In handling this
subject he touched some high places
in eloquence, but the gem came at
the end. He alluded to the fact that
the boys were all confined because
they were law breakers. There are
some laws, he said which should be
broken. Christ broke the Jewish law
when he plucked corn on The Sabbath
day. 1t is not wrong to break laws
that are wrong. "Some men who are
confined for breaking laws are
martyrs. | could name many, and
can not 60 further without saying
that one Of them was that great and
good man, Eugene V. Debs. That's
the kind of stuff to give EN- under
Pop rules. Elevate Debsism, repudl'
alton, anarchy and socialism and
teach the boys that they should only
obey the laws they desire to. That's
reform for you

The average Populst's idea OF law
making is like that Of Senator L. D.
King, the member of the Kansas
legislature last winter who introduce
ed many bills for the consideration of
his Populist confreres, most OF them
Of queer cut and pattern. His
daughter remarked one day. "Papa's
bills always come out of something
that happens at home. One day the
neighbors' chickens got in our garden
and that night he wrote his trespass
bill. Then he shipped some hogs and
there was a quarrel about the charge.
That day he wrote his freight rate
bill" The average Populist' wants
this kind Of a personal management
OF the laws OF the state and nation;
that is, when things seem wrong he
wants to bring forward his idea Of
the best means to remedy 1t and in
cidentally get even with somebody.
