THE DECISION WITH THE PEOPLE.

There is general feeling at home
that, the court having thrown new re-
sponsibllity on congress, and greatly in
creased it's power as well as duty, the
broad issue involved in the controversy
must be faced by the people in the COM
ing congressional elections. The election
of a majority of congressman favoring
elastic construction of the constitution
and an opportunist policy in dealing
with territory which is not yet terri
tory, will be taken as evidence of the
will Of the people to expand along lines
more like those Of the British empire
than like those of our own national
past. In so far as electors were far
sighted enough to see this parting of the
ways when they last voted, the next
congress will reflect definite popular
opinion on this matter. But not until
the coming elections are held, discovered
from all personal fears aroused by the
candidacy Of a man distrusted for his
financial vagaries, will it be possible to
say with certainty what the people will
wish our national policy to be.-The
(Boston) Congregationalist.

GOALS ON TORTOISE STATESMEN.

The democratic party cannot live and
stand on the platforms of 1896 and 1900.
1t cannot get rid of those platforms
without shaking the few men who made
them. They are back numbers, and as
dry and sterile as last years bird nests
In few short years we have changed
from buying nation to selling nation.
From an almost insignificant sum our
exports of merchandise rose last year
to the immense sum of 81 1894, 800 900,
whereas our imports have increased only
about 25 per cent. in twenty years. Con-
ditiors have changed - changed very
greatly. Agriculture, manufacturing,
mining, trade, commerce, railroading,
shipping-all have made wonderful
progress; the arts and the sciences have
bounded forward with the impulse of
the new age; knowledge grows with our
growth, and the captains Of industry
mount to pinnacles not dreamed of in
the widest speculation of the youth of
a half generation ago. Everything and
everybody moves except our statesmen
our Bryans, our Altgelds, and our
Tillmans. They cling to the dead
fetichism of an age that is past. 1t
mocks our poverty and disheartens our
young men.
There is no room for a new party in
this country-no third party ever
amounted to anything-but there is
room for new life, new vigor, better

A USE FOR CORN COBS.

Corn cobs, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat, are to be utilized as special
kindling, and it has been demonstrated
that fire engines can be fired to the point
of steam with them in less time than
anything else. Their process is unique.
The cobs are first crushed and then
saturated with highly inflammable
material composed partly Of rosin.
Then they are compressed and after
wards sawed into blocks. They lose the
appearance of the despised cob While
the process was invented at Waco, it
will not be utilized there. A company
will be established at Parsons, Kansas,
in the midst of the corn belt, and there
is no doubt it will prove winner.

would have cast them about as fol-

~
the state, and from motives of enlightened
seJ-imterest, see to 1t that the stigma of
repudiation be removed by making, avith
the creditors of the state, such honorable
settlement as they may be willing to
freely accept.
while on this point, it is due to my
self to say that I do not own, nor do /
know any one who does own, single
bond of the state of Mississippi, except
ing only the trustees of the Peabody ed
ucational fund. Moreover, the Illinois
Central railroad company and the Yazoo
& Mississippi Valley railroad company
are, and have been for very many years,
probably ever since they began operat-
ing railroads in the state, the largest
payers of taxes in Mississippi. 1t will,
therefore, be on their shoulders that the
heaviest part of the burden which now
invite will fall.)
would say: Look forward and not
backward. Be mindful of your own
future and that of your children, for
both of which you are responsible. Let
the dead past bury it's dead. AS Col.
Henry Watterson said some two or
three years ago, cit is high time that
the South stopped feeding on Cob
webs"
Instead of further overstocking the
learned professions, turn your we'll
trained minds to the development of the
vast latent resources of your own fav-
ored land. Bring to bear upon COM
mercial, manufacturing, and what are
now called business pursuits, the wealth
of inherited and acquired intellectual
capacity with which it has pleased God
to endow you. Be mindful that to you
much has been given and that of you
much will be required. Do not wrap
your talent in a napkin and bury it in
the ground of sloth and idle content
ment.
I would say with Horace Greeley
"Young man, go West" but would
not add, as he did, "and grow up with
the country" No, I would rather add,
find out what of good there is in the
West, which has within a generation
made desert blossom as the rose. Solve
that riddle, bring the secret back to the
far more favored land in which you had
the fortune to be born, and apply it with
energy and perseverance, and doubt not
as to the outcome, alike for yourself and
for the state.
And, finally, would say: Combine
your capital (Which may not be in
money, but consist of far more potent
and valuable things, such as education,
character, capacity, perseverance and
honesty of purpose), with the capital of
others, and, for their sake and yours
and the good of the state, make COM
mon cause for mutual profit. SIN union

THE NEGRO QUESTION.
Methodist -Divines In Meeting Dis
cuss the Matter.

t 81 ~
Pittsburg. Pa. Nov. 1s.--1n to.day's
session. Of the general missionary COM
mittee of the Methodist Episcopal
Church the burning question came up
when the negro question" was pre-
cipitated by motion made by Bishop
Foss, when an application from Ala
-bama conferences for missionary aid
came. up. The Bishops motion was that
appropriations for white work in the
South maryland and Delaware ex-
cepted), and the negro work, mostly
South, be referred to special commit
tees for consideration.
Rev H. Nelson, scolored, made a plea
against the motion. He said the NJ. E.
Church was the only church in the
South which stands for the fatherhood
of God and the brotherhood of man:
that there is now a. crusade of hate all
through the South against the negro,
and that the negroes down there are
looking to the M. F. Church, North, for
help.
RevJ. F. Goucher of Baltimore, said
that while he was the friend of the
negro he could not help but know that
ii is at this time impossible to success
fully conduct mixed schools, colleges or
churches. especially in the South
1T is not the fault of the black man."
he said. 1T is his misfortune"
Bishop Hamilton. Bishop Walden and
Rev. Buckley spoke against the motion.
after which it was laid over until to-
morrow.
During the debate some of the speak
ers plainly intimated that the time was
coming when the negro would have to
retire from the Methodist Church as
