Quits the Republicans.

Stephen A. Douglas, son of the noted
statesman of the same name who was
Lincoln's opponent for the presidency,
has formally withdrawn from the sce-
publican party and joined the army of
democracy. He has joined the Cook
County Democratic club in Chicago.
In letter Mr.. Douglas says:
''For years I have been considered by
republicans as doctrinely unsound, be-
cause I believe that this should be a
government of the people, by the peo-
pie and strictly for the people. This
was the reason, without doubt, why ]
was not permitted by the machine to
make siugle speech in the state of
Illinois during the campaign of 1885,
though this year, under date of July
28th, the republican state central COM
mittee honored me with request to
take the stump for them.
"Of late years the tendency of the
publican party has been to fasten this
government under the control of trusts
and monopolies.
"The tendency of the democratic
party has been to curtail the power OF
money and place the government in the
hands of the mass of the people. I not
only believe that this should be so, but
I also firmly believe that the only thing
that can prevent this country from be.
ing wealth-ridden on the other is that
the government shall be in the hands
of the plain people.
"All my life my sympathies have been
with the people (having been taught
this by the two men I honored above
all others, my father and Mr.. Lincoln)
and to-day believe my proper place
is in the democratic party, and there
shall I abide"
In this connection it is not inoppor-
tune to note that while Hanna is tell
ing the country that the silver issue is
dead, the state democratic conventions
of Arkansas, Alabama, California, Hi
nois, Iowa, Georgia, Michigan, Wiscon-
sin, Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, Mis-.
souri, Maryland and Texas have met
and reaffirmed allegiance to the prin-
ciples enunciated in the Chicago plat
form.-El Paso Times.

Spain Suffers for Past Sins.

For what great sin is Spain suffering
the consequences? The historian will
answer:
First, for the expulsion of the Moors,
whose civilization was superior to that
of the Spaniards even of to-day.
Second, the establishment of the in
quisition, the vilest tribunal that ever
existed.
Third, for banishing the Jews, which
resulted in the death of 100000 per-
sons.
Fourth, for prosecuting the Dutch in
the Netherlands, where Charles V,
Phillip III, and the infamous Alva, tor
tured, hung, burned, and buried alive,
half a million "heretics."
Fifth, for the extirpation of the Mo-
ritcoes, a remnant of the Moors. About
100000 of the most industrious in
habitants of Spain were hunted out
like wild beasts.
Sixth, for extinguishing the lives of
100000 natives in Mexico and Peru,
which blotted out those ancient na-
tions.
Seventh, for numbering the members
of the Virginius expedition, starving
the Cubans. and sinking the battleship
Maine.

Silver men of Arizona will be put to
the crucial test this year, as the enemy
has thrown down the single gold stand
ard as the gauge of battle. There is
now the long-looked for opportunity to
be men or mice, or long-tailed rats in
politics. Fully 80 per cent of the peo-
pie of Arizona are in favor of bimetal-
ism. Will they stand up and be count
ed, or will large number creep into
the gold tent because "From a golden
chariot drops golden nail" Silver is
an Arizona product, and the protec-
zionist who does not care to study the
question of finance should be in favor
of free coinage for that reason. OF
course, that is purely selfish argu-
ment That silver is needed in the
world of finance because there is not
enough gold is true and the real rea-
sons for bimetalism are so apparent
and so we'll understood, that in Ari-

For the direful misery, pain, and
death which the bravest and best of the
country's youth have been compelled
to suffer by reason of the unprece-
dented incompetency and the criminal
Indifference of the war department
there must surely come a reckoning
day. It seems now impossible, in view
of the daily revelations of the offences
of that department, that it can escape
the penalty which the official conduct
of its chief has invited. The mind re-
volts from the disclosures which are
made of the youngest and best blood
of the land poured out as sacrifice to
incompetency and Indifference; the
imagination can scarcely compass such
horrors as are testified to by SO many
unimpeachable witnesses. Yet Russell
A. Alger is still secretary of war, and
the evils which began with it's admins
tration continue. The record of it's
acts of incompetency, of its blunders
of head, its callousness of heart, daily
grows longer and darker. Save for this
one dark and forbidding blot upon it

The News very correctly says: Busi-
ness men who have been in the habit of
using government stamped ENVELOPES
will note the fact that as soon as the
present contract runs out they can get
their envelopes printed at the home
office only, as the government will no
longer compete with printers in print
ing the return cards. Also by recent
ruling your letter will be held 80 days
unless you have printed on the envel-
ope the time you wish it held. 1t would
be good thing if the government also
said that cheap rubber stamp printing
would not be allowed. Then the cheap
business man who expects the printers
trade, would be obliged to give him in
return little trade instead of patron
izing some one thousand miles away
who never enters their place of busi-
ness. Jerome has a few of these whole
souled (?) business men who expect
paper to boom the town on wind.

There is likely to be considerable
trouble ahead for this government be-
fore the Cuban question is finally set
tied 1t is said there are $4,000 Span
ish soldiers and 0,Fa9armed volunteers
in Havana There is no government
in existence on the island which hey
recognize. 1t will be serse time oeacre
they can evacuate the city. In the
meantime there is no authority to re-
strain them, save the military, and how
far that will be exerted depends on the
caprice of Gen. Blanco.
