Good Men Are Standing Together.
 The Marion County News contains this surprising paragraph:

this surprising paragraph:
 Remember, thai Senator Morgan and Jo Johnston are asrt cd on the present Questior-neither wents the new consti. tution-snd that Senator Morgan warned the convention tha- their franchise or oinance would include some negroes and msny white men will be left out The convention ignored the advice of Senator Morgan. even treated it with silent com tempt. The people should robuke this act | by voting against ratification"
 Senator Morgan answers this as fol- lows: q hope the people win ratify the constitution. I am not opposing it nor have I done or said anything to prevent its adoption. As measure of harmony, peace and safety, it's adoption is necessary. In view of the dangerous condition forced on us un- der the existing constitution, it's amendment, whether complete or par tial, is indispensable for the preserva- tion of the pubic morals and the honor of the State. If there are any imper- fections they will soon be remedied. 8
 And when the News looks over the State it will see not only Senator Nor gan in favor of ratification, but it will see Senator Pettus stumping the State, speaking daily, in favor of the New constitution. It wl1 see besides Gov. ernor Jelks and every other State ofn' cial, ana the entire Congressional dele gation, and the Democratic majority in the Legislature, and every Demo cratic Probate Judge and other county official fighting side by side with our veteran Senators.
 Now why is this? Why is every man who has the people behind him, who represents a constituency, who bears popular endorsement, in favor of ratification? Why, on the other hand, are the men who cannot com. mand popular support on the other side? This Is something the. News may not be able to explain, and we beg permission to suggest that the former desire above all else the peace progress and prosperity of the State We do not care to stop to inquire what the latter are seeking. Suffice the statement that the opponents of rati. fication are singularly lacking in the respect of popular support and en. | aorsement.

FAILS TO SELL BONDS.
America Will Not Buy 5u,ooo, ,ouo
 From Japanese.

London, November IA dispatch from Yokohama published in the second edi- tion of the London Times today says the failure to sell bonds to the amount of 5o,OOO,0OO yen in America has temporarily shocked the stock exchange, where an in- Aux of foreign capital was expected.
 The Japanase government has adopted new plan to provide capital for the ex- tension of the railroads and telegraphs, which are now yielding a profit of per cent. It proposes selling immediately 16,O0O.000 yen in bonds to the postal say ings banks. appropriating the surplus revenue to the railroads and providing for gradual sales of bonds in the domes- tic markets. Foreign money will not be sought except on favorable terms, as the steady inflow of gold resulting from prosperous trade and fine harvest rem ders easy domestic operations.

Rehabilitation of Ae Dsmoeyottc Po,zy
BY JOHN r. FOLEY.

trade of Mir. whitneys candidate is rather vapory.
 It is true that to men of the Whitney way of thinking Edward M Shepard would be the most acceptable Democratic
 nominee that could be named. Mir. Cleve. lands old secretary is now one of tha most powerful corporation chiefs in the country. He controls the street car sys- tenn of New York and wlelds an influence far greater than 1t is desirable any man whatever, not ipe elective office should possess Shepard, on the other hand, is a corporation and trust lawyer, and for years his splendid abilities have been at the command of the industrial and f1nan- cial barons. of whom Whiteny is one. It is quite natural that they should be an. xlous to see him or one like him in the very highest positions of power, where he might be of benefit to them.
 If this be Mir. whitney's .dea of Dem ocratic reorganization he would better dismiss the subject at once. The Demo cratic party has been revoiutionized since he held seat in urover Cleveland's cab inet, and he and the men that acted with him have lost their power and prestige with the masses. There Is DO restoration for the old order. New radical ideas and theories of government have found per fnanent Judgement in the public mind, and they are fundamentally irreconcilable with the views held Dy the piutocrats of our time, many. of whom began their ca reers as poor Democrats seeking humble offices, and are now despots over the thousands whose suffrages they were wont to solicit. The masses have lost all confidence in these olu-tiine leaders. Not one in a hundred of them could be elected town constable anywhere. So far as influence goes they might as well be under the messy marbles of the cemeter- les. The charter of twentieth century Democracy will not be written in rail- road offices and bank parlors by corpora ton lawyers

Ex-Secretary of the Navy, William c. Whitney, in a recent letter advocating the election of Edward NJ. Shepard to be Mayor of New York City. lntlmated that the triumph of the Tammany candidate may be the first step toward the rehabili tation of the Democratic party nationally. If Mir Whitney. who at one time had Presidential aspirations of his own. was really sincere in what he wrote 1t shows a most remarkable mental obtuseness with regard to-the temper and sentiments of the Democratic masses in every state in the Union. Mir. Shepard is unquestion- ably very able man. a lawyer of the first rank, an eloquent, forcible speaker and an excellent writer. ns will be ad- mitted by all who read his life of Andrew Jackson's successor in the Presidency, Martin Van Buren. Again, 80 far as his public utterapces go, MT. Shepard must be credited with the possession of some very high political ideas. although nt th9 present time he Is certainly found in very strange company, fact which Is not calculated to inspire very great con fidence in the sincerity of his professions. or in his consistency.
 But however acceptable Mir. Shepard may be to MT. Whitney and to the politi- cal chieftain that rules the first American cities from an English manor house, what general or special qualifications has he to commend him to the Democra- cy of the country? It is true that in one national campaign he opposed the cleo ton of Mir. Bryan and supported him in another one. Tn the one case free silver was the issue that repelled him. and, in the other, anti-imperIalism was the mag net that attracted him. the paramount issue" as the Democratic nominee char acterized it. That Is probably the only plank in the Kansas City platform in which MT. Shepard thoroughly believes, and as it Is not likely to be even heard of three years hence, much less being made an issue the political stock-in-

Movement of Cotton.

A killing frost did not come except in a few places in this section of the country, and cotton prices are lower. It appears, too, that Liverpool is again listening to Expert Neill's estimates, although he went wide of the mark last year--so wide that he was com pelled to confess he had made a mis- take of oyer million bales.
 Prophet Neill is indeed without honor in his own country, but it ap- pears that Liverpool is willing to listen to his guesses, especially this year when he is predicting crop of 11,250,00O bales. He has just put out these figures as his revised and final estimate. Repudiated as MT. Neill is at home on account of his wild esti- mate of last year, yet the foreign trade is accepting him again as a true prophet. The foreign spinners lost money for accepting his estimates of last year, and that experience promises to be repeated this year.
 But after all cotton is steadily going across the water. The mills over there must have it. and the staple is moving freely. Last week 210.266 bales were sent to England, 71,217 to France, and Al ,406 bales to the rest of Europe. In the week ending November 5, 1898, over three hundred thousand bales were sent abroad, but last week this record was exceeded by about 10000 bales.

Speedy Trial of the Presidents
Slayer and Prompt Verdict
Returned.

Buffalo, Sept. "a. -Czolgosz was
found guilty of murder in the
first degree by a jury in shooting
President Mckinley, the wounds
inflicted afterwards resulting in
the death of the President.
The wheels of justice have
moved swiftly. The trial of the
assassin consumed eight hours and
twenty-five minutes and covered
a period of only two days.
Practical ly all this time was
occupied by the prosecution in
presenting the case so clear, and
so conclusive that even had the
prisoner entered the plea of in
sanity, it is doubtful if the Jury
would have returned verdict diff
ferent from the one rendered today
Before the Adjournment Justice
White announced that he would
pronounce sentence upon the de-
fendant Thursday afternoon at 2
o'clock.
The prisoner was taken at once
through the tunnel under Della
ware avenue back to jail. To all
appearances be was in no way af-
fected by the result OF the trial.
The crowd gathered at the city
hall today was the largest which
has seen him since his arraign-
ment. There was no demonstra-
ton except that of curiosity. A
large number of women witnessed
the proceedings.
The condemned man has been
sentenced to be electrocuted dur
ing the week beginning October %,
