We had supposed that with all Its
vagarles the Courier Journal had re-
tained enough sense to keep 1t out OF
the home for the feeble minded. All Of
the promises made by the Republican
party have been fulfilled. All OF the
dire prophesies OF the Democratic party
have been utterly discredited. The
Dingiey protective tarifr law, which the
Democrats denounced In Congress us q
menace to Our foreign commerce, has
resulted in ON enormous balance Of
trade in our favor. The gold Democrats
helped the prosperity which we now
enjoy. All promises have been redeem
cd But the menace in the last election
was the free silver heresy OF Bryan,
and the Courier Journal knows 1t too
well. Had Bryan succeeded we would
have been n dlshonored Nation. AS
strong as the gold standard law Is. It
leaves loop holes for free silver, and
the party that protected the financial
honor Of the Nation In the hour Of its
EXTREMIST peril, proposes to cinch that
achievement by further legislation, and
make 1t impossible for cranks like Bry-
an and his Populistic following to de-
stroy what has been gained. and that Is.
what is meant when the Philadelphia
Press says that .the party must be as
good as Its platform"

The Negro Holds the Club.

Perhaps 1t did not occur to those
southern states that dIsfranchised the
colored voter that he held In his hand a
club equally us powerful as the donll-
mating white government. They are
now waking up to a realization Of what
they have done by the exodus Of n large
number OF the negro citizens who have
been arbitrarily deprived OF the right
guaranteed them by the constitution
the elective franchise. This exodus
may be hailed with n superficial delight
by the southern press. but no sane per-
son will be deceived by 1t. for In an
economic way it will cost the southern
states dearly.
To show that the reported exodus OF
the colored people is not n myth several
statements can be quoted. notably that
OF Royal Daniel, secretary of the con-
vention OF southern commissioners, who
writes to the Atlanta Journal that the
negroes are on the move" The OBJ
server, of Charlotte. n. c., says: The
negro Is failure rs voter, but he has
his uses as farm hand. and there Is
no doubt that the farmers in come Sec
tons OF the state are sorcly put to 1t
for help 10 pick their cotton crops. 1t
is right to exclude these people from the
ballot, but II Is suicidal 10 drive them
by bad treatment out OF the state"
The Raleigh Post tells the truth about
the matter when 1t says: III this exc
dus keeps on. these land owners and
farmers will be In a worse condition
than they have been since the war. and
will have no one to thank for 1t save the
arrant demagogues whose reckless i'm
b-cilty Is only equaled by their un-
blushIng and selfish aspirations"
The south Is Just now experiencing m
Industrial boom, and what 1t most de-
mands Is labor. II the culorrd work.

Tho Old Spirit.

There was 4 crash In the white house
at u o'clock Sunday night. The Presi-
dent. who had retired, was aroused.
and the guards and clerks who were still
awake were startled. The noise was To-
Gated In the east room, that famous re-
ception chamber was Immediately flood
ed with blaze OF electric light, and 1t
was found that the life-size portrait Of
Abraham Lincoln. which adorns(?) the
apartment, had fallen from Its place,
and was somewhat, though not serious
ly, damaged. Now, there Is a supersti-
tlon: about pictures falling from their
places at dead OF night In this way. The
question Is. What does this tumble Of
old Abe's betoken? Are we to suppose
that the historic rail-splitter is tumbllng
to the Imperialism OF the present ad-
Observation-Disclosures Dispatch.
When Abraham Lincoln was stricken
down by. the assassin's bullet the south
lost Its best friend. That has been ac-
knowledged by all southern people who
have laid aside the animosities and as
perities Of the civil war, which, 1t
seems. the Richmond Dispatch cannot
shake off. That the spirit Of rebellion
has not been washed out Of the south,
as represented by the Dispatch is shown
by the comments OF that paper In the
phrase land 1t was found that the life
size portrait OF Abraham Lincoln, which
adorns(?)" etc. Notice the questioning
interrogation mark after "adorns." In
the name OF the Supreme Being what
else would it do, but adorn? 1t surely
could not disgrace the white house.
But there Is another and more vicious
spirit manifested In another phrase:
What does this tumble Of old Abe's
betoken?' The disrespect and contempt
for the martyr President exhibited by
this inquiry Is In singular contrast to
the Dispatches appeals during the late
election, addressed to the Democratic,
party, to stand by the policies OF the
very man 1t attempts to defame. Who
was 1t called on the memory OF Lin
coin but the candidate OF the party that
the Dispatch supported. But that gen.
:tleman never referred to him as "old
Abe" The hypocrisy of the south is
but on a par with that Of Croker's re-
form movement.

Womnn,s Profanity.

Chicago Chronicle: A popular actress
has declined to deliver while playing a
queenly role the declaration: II will
see him and his whole kingdom sunk in
HI before I will marry Louis Of
France"
The personal fastidiousness Of the
player Will strike q sympathetic public
chord. 1t has long ceased to be fash
ionable for women to swear.
i But as q queen of the past the role
assumer would be false to fact II her
lines were not rife with profanity. Not
only queens. but all women swore
English days. Their oaths were BIAS
phemous to degree that would revolt
the most impious green-room infestor OF
the present. The body" OF God, the
blood Of the Saviour were favorite
swearing Of Tudor queens, and--like
maid, like mistress-of the courtiy wo-
men Of their epoch.
Court life further down than Eliza
beth or Mary was characterized by
swearing and worse. Women gambled
in Fox's time as furiously as the aristo-
cratic gamesters who lifted their trains
or buckled their billions on presentation
days
With the foundation Of the republic 1t
became vulgar for woman In this coun-
try to gamble. to swear, to be scottish.
Signs OF coarse renaissance OF courtly
habits are thickening. but only among
our rich. The true new woman neither
drinks. nor swears. nor CANDLES, but
holds herself worthily to high Ideals ex-
cept when borne down by vulgarlzing
environment or encouraged by conspic-
uous IL trumpery pattern.

Jams. the Republican nominee for coun-

noon on election day. 1t was soon
known at the polls that Mr.. Williams
had passed away, and for q short time
the Republicans were greatly perpIexed
over what to do, but finding that IL no
election was had ut the polls, the duty
OF selecting a commissioner would fall
on the county clerk and the two other
commissioners. who were Republicans.
they kept right on voting for Mr..

A Wild Goose Yarn.

The London Globe: A remarkable
story is told OF some birds kept by the
late Mr.. Francis stanier, OF Peplow
Hall, near Market Drayton. Mr.. STAN
Ter was a millionaire and a well-known
philanthropist, and was very fond Of
birds. He had some favorite American
and Japanese geese, which he fed with
his own hands. and which were kept on
q pool near the hall. He died about q
fortnight ago, and. strange to relate,
during the last hours OF his Illness these
birds, numbering over one hundred, flew
round his bedroom window, beating
their wings against the glass. They
would then fly over the roof OF the
house. and all the time they were ut
tering weird, screeching noise. In al
most the last moments of the squire's
life the whole flock Of birds disappear
ed. and not one OF them has been seen
since o.
