The editor OF the Jackson Cash Book
is ripping, snorting and tearing his
hair because the County Court grant
ed saloon license again to the Jack
son saloons. He wants the County
Judges, Mayor and members of the
Jackson City Council sent to Jail. He
wants Judge'Riley to get up on the
bench and raise h-ll with the county
and city officials. He wants a whole
lot of things done that will not be
done. The County Court, We under
stand, was advised by the best lawyers
in the county, the County Attorney
among the number, to issuethe saloon
licenses to the Jackson saloon men.

Signs of reviving prosperity hay,
become so general that a period o
good times, covering, ii is hoped. a
long term of years, is looked for with
confidence. Such conditions do not
come by accident. It is true that the
crops are beyond the average, but
that was also the case during the two
preceding years. The people OF this
country should realize that when they
vote wrong in a national election they
vote away the basis of proiitabl il bus
mess until the time comes to restore it
at the ballot-box. In the year 1892
our citizens not only voted ~perverseIy.
but an immense number neglected
their political duty by not going to
the polls. Perhaps many will think
the penalty that followed was heavier
than the otfense. That is a question
in the wider field OF political metaphy-
slcs that never be settled. The mis-
take of 1892 was to put full control of
the nation into the hands of an incom-
potent party. In wrecking itself by its
lncapacities that party deranged the
whole business world and caused
enormous losses. Naturally. there is
rejoicing oyer Frightening prospects.
One OF the radical faults OF the party
successful in 1892 was that it did not
keep the pledges of its platform. It
passed amongrel tariff fathered by no.
body and repudiated by all organiZa-
tiUnS- After reducing revenue below
the line Of expenses and bringing dis
10 American industries, that
party suddenly reversed its financial
position as declared throughout its
1t Vas Il fundamental change
in the ISSUES on which ithad previous
appealed to the people. Without
Populist fusion and silver specula-
raid the Democratic party last
year would have been beaten millions
Of votes. But the country preferred
the party that stands ~sqnarely upon its
platform. The resolutions adopted by
its national conventions means exact
l. what they say. There is AN assur-
8Hce OF stability in the Success OF such
a party. Ii never looks around for
combinations by which declared prin-
,.pics ran be traded for votes. Good
marks its legislation, which is
on pledges accepted aad trust
u by the people.
Ia our months after the date of their
10 power, andinthe faceof many
difficulties, including thelack of a clear
majority in the Senate, the Republican
has redeemed one of the most i'm
p~ortant promises OF the st. Louis Llat-
form. The opening sentence in Lhat
runs: I'VE new and cmpha-
.Ize our ailegianceto the policy of pro-
as the bulwarkof American in
Iustriai independence and the Gounda-
ton of American development aud

wheat under the Cleveland Admins.
tratiCn for forty-two cents is not the
same kind of a Democrat now that be
used to be. He is a Democrat, o
course, but he is a good sound money,
honest, "cussin" Democrat. He
wouldn't vote for Cleveland, he
wouldn't vote for Bryan. He's quit
politics. He's for the good times

vote the Republican ticket, and there
