CAN'T LOSE HIM.

z We've always understood that you can't lose goo6 man. and we are in clined to believe 1t now, for Coin. Har- vey has issued forth among the living. Of course most people are under the impression that Coin died about the beginning of the century, but he didn't. It was only his book that passed in. Coin was merely shunted off the track when the free coinage heresy was buried. He was not killed. merely paraiyxed. Time passes and new events take the place of the old.[ It has been less than a decade since he. was assuring the world that unless the country adopted free silver at the Heaven-born ratio of 16. to the whole fabric of government would crumbie and turn to dust.
 Coin and others like him were mis- taken. The country refused to believe in him and his coinage heresies. but he yet survives. He'meandered into Kan sas City the other day from his cave way down in Arkansas. and he had some more forebodings about the fu- ture of the country. Liberty and equality have vanished from among us, he tells the reporter, and we are head ed straight for the bow-wows on a down grade. Of him The Kansas City Journal says:
 The present era of economic house cleaning that has brought to light the eocialistic activity in politics has and alum -lnouthed Ipessimlsrs. just as afar. MT. Harvey is happiest in stormy weather. He says now that the only way to save the republic is
 is Oe modest the ausoT but he believes 1t should be in every school in the nation, It should teach "character bniiding, and the harvest conditions would be reaped in about ten years. Although he did not sug- gest f.. we can see the eager flush of cept a national commission to write his acter School" price 50 cents.
 We might lnterpolate right here and say that wiser and better men than revelations of recent times, but let that pass. If Harvey wants to project another book on the public let him get busy. Paper and pencils are cheap and there are always publishers ready to assist crank in getting himself be- fore the public. Let him write and predict ana make himself as ridiculous as he did before if he likes. Nobody will be compelled to read his book, but he will find purchasers and thus put money in his pocket. There isn't much politics going on just now and perhaps he may create diversion.

Democrats and Government Ownership. IndiananoIia Star (Ren)

Democrats and Government Ownership. Indianapolis Star (Rep.)
 stood like wall of rock against the insidious advances of paternalisn. The young men who cast their lot with Grover Cleveland in 1884 and 1888 and 1892 did so in response to the CO., gent appeals of old-line Democrats of the Tilden, Seymour, Carlisle. Bayard, Lamar type who expounded the basic philosophy of immortal Democracy.
 It Is the Democratic principle that the best governed community Is the least governed. It is the Democratic ideal to have the least possible inter ference from government and the widest possible play for individual initiative and enterprise. Great Dem nan, opposed the paternalistic national banking system and the paternalistic proposals to give the precious metals artificial relations out of harmony tum. Great Democrats have always opposed government banking and fav- pred private and State banks; they have opposed protective tariff as an unwarrantabie exercise of paternalism and they have opposed subsidies, land grants and paternalistic undertakings of every sort in the belief that the maintain order and defend the country from insurrection at home and in- vasion from abroad.
 It is a strange and disquieting thing to see so many Democrats at this day leaving these ancient landmarks of their party and going beyond the Re- publican position in their clamor for government ownership of business of many kinds and municipal ownership of local enterprises. All these things are in violent transversion of historic Democratic doctrine. It would be a Furious transformation to see the Democratic party become the champion of paternalism and see the party of protection and subsidies become the conservative devotee of strict con struction and rigid limitation of func- tions of the federal power.

Better Houses and Better Schools.

Marion County News.
 We should have better houses and better schools, and the most practical way to get them is to have fewer in number. Large schools with two or more teachers in each township would be much better than to have funds dis trfbuted out to so many small schools, short terms and inferior service. Some schools with one teacher will have. a daily attendance of eighty,s while the There should be a change along more satisfactory lines, and every man in Marion County can send to school if he really wants to.

Clergy and sunday Papers.

bTOUhINI EdBIt. =.
 Our friends the clergy find less fault with Sunday newspapers than they for merly did. perusal of Sunday morn press in the main is editorially sane, conservative. moral and patriotic. A perusal of Mondays papers will show that a few preachers rival the most most objectionable period. so far as sem sation, snap judgment and appeals to the surroundings ae concerned. We are glad to say that the clean, conservative and patriotic Sunday papers immensely outnumber those of the other sort. and we sincerely regret to say that the proportion of demagogical pulpiteers to really religious preachers is larger than the proportion of reckless newspapers to reasonable and responsihle ones.

 The "Coolie" would have no social ann bitions here, nor would he ever care to become a part of the Government. Hav- ing accumulated some money, he in- variably returns to his own country where a little, as we measure 1t here. makes him a rich man. If he is the character of laborer that Mir. Wiley claims he is-and the Congressman should know for he has but recently re- turned from trip through the Orient, and has studied the question-we see no reason why we shouldn't try few Chinamen, anyway.

Good People for the south.

CuIIman Tribune.
 There are thousands of industrious, frugal immigrants, who, like our Ger man Cullman citizens. assimilate Amer ican ideals and are models of thrift, en- terprise and industry. There are many of the Northwestern States that have been built up by Swedes, Norwegians. otic in their devotion to their adopted country as Jacob Riis or any natlve- born American. Many of these would no doubt willingly be transplanted from their northern homes to our more ge- nial climate if proper inducements were offered them. Such immigrants would contribute much to the development of turing interests of the South.

 It would be better in every material and moral sense that the Southern peo- pie should be more nearly equally di- vided on party lines. The disposition of the Republican leaders to drop the negro and cultivate the white voter gives hope for the future, and it will be the dawn of better days in the South when the Republican Party shall be able to fairly contest for every office within the gift of the people.

beast to pass just when he did? AS we understand the case in point those who bound the boy to the railway track knew the schedule time of tho roads and we may admit that they in- tended to release him before train arrived. hut that is a poor argument. If they knew anything about railroads they were compelled to know. that ex- tra and special trains may run over a road at any hour, and this destroys their plea that they did not expect a train to pass at the time 1t did. The act itself was brutal, cowardly and murderous, and the guilty parties should be punished. Something should be done to abolish a practice which not infrequently results in death to the unfortunate victim.

London and the Quick Lunch.

Boston HeraId.
 The failure of the quick lunch coun- ters in London is rather creditable to the Briton's notion as to midday re- freshment The quick lunch fiourishes in this country for the reason that we are in such hurry at midday and our rafreshment must conform to the time we give to partaking of 1t. We pay dearly for 1t in the end, however. In the long run the quick lunch brings dyspepsia, which is considerably worse than hunger or gluttony.
