POLITICAL REFLECTION.

An analytic glance at the Democrat
ic parties divides'it into three distinct
party; first, 1.-The Solid South" Sec
ond, THE Tammany Tiger" third,
There of-them. " That the sOlidity
and permanence of THE Solid South"
depends on ignorance and prejudice is
evidenced by the fact that it is slowly
dissolving in the light of higher edu-
cation and reason. The ignorance of
the south is due to the neglect to eS-
tablish and maintain rural schools,
and of course we all know that ignor-
ance is an ideal soil for prejudice. AS
to the "Tammany Tiger" it is one of
the rottenest organizations that ever
damned human society. 1t was organ
lied outside of politics, but was drag
ed into politics by Aaron Burr, one
of the most murderous and blacklist
traitors that ever soiled history. Ever
since this act of Burr the "Tammany
Tiger has been a prowling menace to
our nation with it's lair in ungleS of
New York City. That part referred
to as "The- rest of-them" is the most
intellectual part of the party. The
members of this part are Democrats
not because of process of reasoning,
but because they have neglected to ex-
tricate themselves from the subtle
meshes of inherited inclinatiOns, aud
reason their way into the ranks of the
most advanced thinkers who are ever
sensitive and obedient to the pressure
of divine evolution. To illustrate, let
US consider two of the minor issues
before the people to-day; The Postal
Savings Bank and Guarantee of Bank
Deposits. The Postal Savings Bank
has been put to the test in other lands
and is a grand success. 1t is thrust
upon us by evolution and offers a safe
depository for the savings of the lab
Oring class and will be source of in
come to the government rather than a
menacing burden. Guarantee of Bank
Deposits is poor craftsmanship be-
cause it makes the state responsible
for slack business; and, if anything,
encourages INSCRIPTIONS banking. II
is cunning creature springing from
the heaten brains of willy politician
who is in desperate pursuit of win
ming issue. 1t has a winSOme surface
because it secures the depOsitOr in his
present position, but even we super
fetal thinkers can see that it does so
at the expense of the government sta
bility. Therefore. it is our grave duty
to muster up sufficient patriotism to
fully reject an individual benefit that
weakenS our government. and support
that which will yield us even a great
err benefit and at the same time make
the government stronger.
