honesty questioned, the Democratic pa
pers, with few exceptions, are calling
upon the people to withhold judgment
and will make apologies for the blatant
demagogue.
The people at the South have been
taught by their Democratic leaders to
believe that the Republican party was
led by dishonest men, and that they
were sustained by their party, no mat
ter how bad they were. On the other
hand they have been taught to believe
that all honesty was lodged in the Dem
ocratic leadership, and that the Demo
cratic party of no State or section would
in any way condone the dishonest or cor
rupt acts of its leaders. Recent his
tory, however, must have opened the
eyes of the people at the South. The
Republican Senators, Mitchell and Bur
ton, were brought to the bar of judg-
ment, found guilty of crime in Repub-
lican courts, stripped of the Senatorial
toga and CARRIED in prison stripes. For
bis connection with the Standard Oil
Company, Senator Foraker was brought
to the bar of public opinion by the Re-
publican party and cast aside as one
worthy no longer to stand for it in the
higher branch of the National Legisla-
ture.
How different the treatment of Sen
ator Bailey. He was equally or more
guilty than Senator Foraker; but the
Democrats Of Texas reelected him to
the United States Senate with full
knowledge of his guilt. If the Demo
cratic press and leadership of the coun
cry had done their duty he would have
been retired to private life as Foraker
has been. What will be done with
Tillman?

THE DIFFERENT WAYS.

The Southern Democratic newspapers
have heretofore been very constant and
loud in their accusations against those
Republican representatives in Congress
and the United States Senate who were
supposed to be corrupt or tainted.
They made a great to do about Senator
Mitchell, Of Oregon, and Senator Bur-
ton, Of Kansas, when they were brought
to judgment for corrupt practices while
members of the Senate; and when it
was discovered that Senator Foraker
was tainted by service to the Standard
Oil Company the Democratic press be-
came terrible in its expressions of hor-
ror. But when Joe Bailey, of Texas,
who was the Democratic leader in the
U. S. Senate, was found to be in the
employ of the Standard Oil people the
criticisms of the Democrats were so
mild as to awaken the ridicule of all
honest citizens. Now that Senator
Tlilman, Of South Carolina, has been
brought to the front, Honest" Ben
Tillman, in a matter that makes his
veracity doubtful and his representive

The American Fighting Man.
st. Louis Republic.

st. Louis Republic.
During his service in Washington
Major General Bell, chief of the Army
staff. has evidently acquired false no
tons about the resourcefulness, self
reliance, and fighting qualities of the
present-day American man. 1t is doubt
less true that among the department
clerks and cushion warmers at the ma
tional capital there are too many who
do not know how to shoot or to take
care Of themselves away from the cod
ding warmth of steam radiator. But
even these fellows learn readily enough
to shoot and they are not Americans if
they cannot learn to sleep comfortably
under blanket on the ground when re-
spending to the call of military duty.
II any foreign power should accept
General Bells estimate of the weak
ness of the American Army and the
unfitness of the American civilian for
prompt service in war, it might be led
into ruinous mistakes. A combination
of all Europe, using all the ships it
could get into service, could not land
men along our Atlantic coast faster
than they would be killed or captured
by the men who would jump forward
from the farms, workshops and count
ing rooms to oppose them.
The nucleus of an army we need and
will always keep. Coast Notifications
are necessarily at the sea entrances of
our principal seacoast cities, more to
warn away foreign insult than as pro-
lection against serious menace to the
country. Any hostile force which
should land here would, in order to get
away alive, have to retreat to its ships
as hastily as did General Ross after
burning the capital at Washington in
1874.

The Fresh Eye Question.

Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
People who have experienced the diff
ficulty Of distinguishing between eggs,
fresh eggs and strictly fresh eggs, ex-
cept by the way they are charged on
the bill, will applaud the determination
of member of the House of Repre-
sentatives from Pennsylvania to offer n
bill in Congress requiring dealers to
classify their eggs strictly according to
their age and in such a manner that
even Mrs. Newlywed can tell exactly
what she is buying. He proposes to
have all eggs offered for sale branded
as storage" freshly laid, ;" recent
ly laid" and doubtful" The sugges-
ton has been made that the bill should
require the poultryman to furnish every
hen with rubber stamp with which she
could date her eggs as soon as they are
laid. This would certainly be q good
idea if it were practicable. The hen
might, however, raise a question as to
the constitutionality of the law, which
would mean an appeal to the United
States Supreme Court and would in
volve vexatious delay. Until it has
been definitely determined that the hen
comes within the jurisdiction of Con-
gress, it will probably be better for that
body to confine it's attention exclusively
to the poultry dealer.

TIlIman Against Education.
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.

Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
Senator Tillman's temporary retire
ment from politics'and his foreign trav-
els have not broadened his mind. His
prejudices have successfully resisted
the requirement OF knowledge that
would have enlightened his mind on the
race question, and are as firmly imbed-
ded in his nature as they were before he
had ever been outside the confines Of
his native State. He made an address
before South Carolina teachers con-
vention the other day, in the course of
which heIstated that it was desirable
to allow considerable per centage of
white children to grow up without edu-
cation so as to prevent the means of ed
ucation from being placed within the
reach of the negroes. The inevitable
result of a compulsory system of educa-
ton, he feared, would be that it would
some day have to be applied to colored
children also. Arguments of that ma
ture are unanswerable. The white man
who would prefer to have his own chill
dren grow up in ignorance in order to
keep down the colored race has reached
a pass where it is waste of breath to
point out the error of his views.

he CARRIED THE GOLDFISH HOME
Or, Rather, He Meant to Do II. but
Fate Was Against Him.

When Clerk D. P. Conry OF the West
hotel won a bowl Of goldfish in a rafie
he was the produsst man in the twin
cities. He bore his prize triumphant
ly into the hotel, and everybody ad-
mired the fish. At last someone asked
him what he was going to do with
them.
Unfortunately, Mr.. Conry had not
thought of that before. It was a wet,
rainy night. and the prospect Of carry
Ing home a bowl Of mixed water and
goldfish was not alluring. A thought
struck him.
I'm going to give them to Louis
Fay" he announced, showing the drip
ping globe at his assistant.
You are not" said Mr.. Fay, backing
away. Il don't want them"
Then you just keep them for me to-
night" suggested Mr.. Conry. I'm be
around first thing in the morning"
But Mr.. Fay wouldn't do that, either,
unless Mr.. Conry would put the fab in
the safe and take a recipe. This Mr..
Conry hesitated at, because he had
never heard of keeping goldfish in a
safe. SO he tried to give the fish to
each Of the bellboys In turn, but with
out success. Then he tried the bar
tender. the carpenter, the elevator
boys and the engineer. Nobody want
ed goldfish.
Finally, he had to start home with
them. Few persons, however. have
ever attempted the feat Of carrying
a large bowl Of goldfish wrapped in
paper. while standing on the platform
OF crowded car. Mr.. Conry was
