THE FREE SILVER PARTY.

We remarked the other day that the
Atlanta Constitution thought the Demo-
cratic party fortunate in having "purged
itself Of such men as Cleveland Carlisle,
Mills. William j.. Wilson. Watterson,
Morrison, and al. of that stripe. whom it
is pleased to call noisy and irreconcila-
BILE element"
The Norfolk Landmark quotes this from
The Times and adds:
The Atlanta Constitution represents
precisely the sort of intolerance which
is the greatest present danger TO the
Democratic organization. The Constitu-
ton and those who agree with it would
ostracise nearly every leader of force
and ability whom the party has had or
has to-day. Along with Cleveland, Car
Isle. Mills, Wilson, Watterson. and Nor
rison may be placed Lindsay Caffery,
Palmer, Olney, Bayard, Whitney, Buck
ner, Villas, and many others who are the
same men now as they were when they
were considered the highest types of
Democracy. David b. Hill, whom even
Harper's Weekly has finally acknowl-
edged TO be the purest politician in New
York State, is engaged in fierce strug-
gle against the spirit of prescription, and
the Atlanta Constitution dislkes him. we
dare say. just about as much as it does
any of the other able men whom II is so
glad TO be rid of. although the Constitu-
ton enthusiastically supported him for
the Presidential nomination only a few
years ago.
We are more and more of opinion that
the extreme men In the Chicago party
think it desirable to rid the organization
of all who do not believe in free coinage
and to rally TO the standard all who do.
regardless Of past party ahiliation. The
New Democratic party" as they call It,
is a free silver party and only that.
The extreme men are in command and
are determined to carry things their own
way. They have recently made an exhi-
bition in Kentucky of their radicalism in
the passage of the Goebel elections bill,
and the Louisville Evening Post. which
is a conservative newspaper and which
has affiliated with the party, now de-
clares that tho Populists are no longer
the political freaks OF Kentucky. and
that as between Goebelism and Populism.
It prefers the latter.

TIE SOUTH AND THE CUBAN
QUESTION

The Spanish Minister at Vienna has
been INDUCING I some very absurd talk.
In discussing the relations between Spain
and the United States he said that In
case OF war. IL the United states stirred
up instruction against Spanish authority
in the Philippine Islands, Spain would stir
up an Instruction against the United
States in the Confederate States. How
little Europeans really know OF the
United States their institutions and their
people
II unhapplly. by bad management on
the part OF their respected governments,
Spain and the United States really get
into a war, this Spaniard will find that
some Of the severest blows his people will
receive will be dealt him by Southerners
end Confederate soldiers particularly. He
will learn that his people will have no
foes more implacable than the Southern
people and that they will be absolutely
unanimous in their determination to pun
ish Spain very severely.
There is however. no feeling in the
South, that we have discerned. which APP
proves of arbitrary interference by this
country in the domestic affairs of the
Spanish government on the Island Of
Cuba.
That the Cu5ans are great sufferers is
a melancholy fact but it is no more our
affair than is the suffering Of the Arme-
mans at the hands Of the Turks. or Of
the prosecuted and exiled Jews at the
hands of the Russians.
The United States has not qualified as
universal guardian Of all the oppressed
people on earth, although 1t offers an
asylum to all, and an opportunity to all
for the enjoyment of life, liberty and the
pursuit OF happiness unequalled anywhere
else. All may come here and be citizens,
but we may not go to them and defend
even their natural rights while they are
citizens of another country.
The United States has established an
immutable precedent in this matter. in
its war upon the Southern States. 1t
waged war upor the Southern people and
desolated their homes and fields without
let or hinderance OF interference from
any power. They cannot now in the face
of their own record claim any right to
say that Spain shall not desolate Cuba
as much as it chooses.
The destruction of the Maine Is quite
another matter! The entire power OF the
United States should be freely used to
vindicate the rights of our own people,
and whatever may be shown to be the
origin of that terrible catastrophe, If it
appears that the United States has just
cause for indemnity from Spain. no cost
should be counted in securing it,
The American citizen should be known
throughout the world as citizen who
has a government willing and able 10 pro-
tect and defend him.

LOUISIANA'S TROUBLES.

WHO is RESPONSIBLE FOR
SLAVERY

In a speech the other dav before tho
Louisiana convention on the suffrage
question, the Hon. Thomas J. semmcs.
Of New Orleans, said:
Il am not one Of those who believe that
the southern people are responsible for
the institution OF slavery. Who brought
the slaves here? Did the southern colo

ed, the southern people? We all know
that Jefferson inserted in the declaration
OF independence n clause complaining
that the king of Great Britain had vetoed
laws of the colonies forbiddng the i'm
portation of slaves into the colonies. but
II was subsequently stricken out and.
therefore, does not appear in the printed
declaration. We all know that Virginia
was the first colony which prohibited the
importation of slaves, in 177S and that
under the constitution of the United
States, twenty years were allowed from
the date Of its adoption in l7S9 during
which slaves might be imported into the
United States. And who imported them?
In the colonies. the Dutch were the first
60 do so. and afterwards. the English. but
after the revolution and the adoption Of
the constitution OF the United States. who
imported these slaves into this country?
IL was the ship-owning interests of the
north that engaged in that trade. There
fore, / never could understand why the
colored race, although they owe their
emancipation TO Lincoln and the Repub-
lican party of the north. should entertain
feelings of hostility towards the South.
because southern men had nothing TO do
with bringing their ancestors here from
the wilds OF Africa. and subjecting them
20 the chains OF slavery. For do 1 be-
lieve that the African race after being
imported into the United States as
slaves, yet lost anything by the change
Of status. for they were civilized through
the fundamentally OF the southern peo-
pie who used them for the purposes of
labor.
