In this maimer fs democracy its own critic. • BAD ISSUE, OB NO ISST7B. A Democratic leader in Congress recent­ ly said: "If the Democrats should not pass any tariff legislation this session the failure would leave the party without a single national issue upon which to go before the people." This assertion is laden with melan­ choly truth; but, on the other hand, this question arises: In case the Wilson bill is passed, what issue will the Democratic party have upon which to go before the people? It could then point to no record of pledges redeemed, of doctrines vindi­ cated, of principles lived up to. It could only apologize for having struck damag­ ing blows at a multitude of American in- duetrieshfior having violated the consti- stittttfon in granting certain measures of protection to a few sectional interests, for having passed a bill for deficiency instead of for a revenue sufficient to meet the needs of the government, for havine met that deficiency by resorting to the odious income tax of war times, for hav­ ing demoralized the business and indus­ try of the entire nation, for "having in­ creased the national debt by a bond issue of $50,000,000 within a year after coming into power, for having precipi­ tated the country from a condition of magnificent prosperity to one of almost unparalleled adversity--for having, in short, ignored promises, trampled on pledges, given the lie to platform decla­ rations, and inflicted crushing disap­ pointment upon the deluded millions who voted for a change in 1892. To pass no tariff bill will be a confess­ ion of incompetency; to pass the Wilson bill will be a demonstration of ability in no direction but that of destruction, and of no courage of proclaimed convictions. So the Democrat party has the alterna­ tive of going before the people on a bad issue, or on none at all. The dilemma is an unpleasant one, whichever horn be chosen, but no third choice is visible for the rabble which in the name of Democ­ racy is making a muddle of every ques­ tion which it makes a bluff at tackling. ; - 4 I®* A bill has been filed before Judge " . Book waiter at Danville to test the con- , etitutionality of the infamous gerryman- of the senatorial districts by thedem C ocratic legislature last winter. The complainant is James P. Fletcher, of ^ Vermillion, who is a candidate for repre­ sentative from the Ford-Vermillion dis­ trict. The glaring irregularities and ma­ nipulations to gain partisan advantage «re shown up in their true light. The • «ase will be argued before Judge Book- walter and whatever his decision may i jbe, it will be appealed to the state su- ^jpreme court and a decision reached as ' «oon as possible. |: IW*On Thursday last H. H. Kohlsaat ' Sold his controlling'interest in the Inter M / ®cean to Wm. Penn Nixon, the editor of m the paper, for $400,000. The reason of P the sale was that Mr. Kohlsaat and pNixon could not agree npon certain lines j. * ol its management. Mr. Kohlsaat has ||0,;;inade a wonderful success with the Inter ,v^ Ocean in the past three years and he has r proven himself one of the most successful 'n the world. He is personally r , popular all over the west and his person­ al popularity added much to the success Of the paper. Mr. Nixon will make the paper the same as it has been, one of the leading Republican papers in the country. j|S C- Seadt Candidate for County Clark The following has been handed us by One of oar citizens, with a request to TUF BIGHT OF PETITION. A good deal of confusion exists as to the right of individuals to present peti­ tions to congress. There are those who look npon the Coxey movement as a perfectly legitimate affair, and hold to the opinion that to attempt to curb the movement in any way, will be to deny to these people the right which the consti­ tutions gurantees them. They lose site of the fact that the Coxey demonstration depends for effect on a display of brute force. The leaders do not intend simply to make a respectful appeal to congress, but seek to overawe it by the display of a great mob of men, demanding what they choose to call their rights. It is but a step from the demonstration which they are trying to make and the march into the hall of representatives of an un­ ruly and lawless mob and the driving out of the lawfully chosen representatives The greatest evil of the present unseemly spectacle is that it encourages the notion that any body of men with real or fancied grievances may bring upon congress this pressure of physical force, and at* tempt to awe it by violent demonstra­ tions. Such movements are but one re­ move from anarchy and unless people are educated to a better understanding of their duties and privileges they will lead eventually to mob law and the down­ fall of representative government. Some men who pose as statesmen and others who lay claim to being thought­ ful and conservative men, have given en­ couragement to the Coxey movement. They are playing with fire, and may yet lay themselves open to the charge of having aided in starting a conflagration. Aiding' Xonarehiata M Vaaal. The answer which Secretary Gresham sent to Minister Willis, to the effect that oar government does not hold to the doctrine of perpetual allegiance and that American citizens who take the oath nec essary to vote on Hawaiian questions may forfeit the protection of the United States, was intended to aid the royalists. They are making an effort to keep for­ eign residents away from the polls, and have raised the question which Secretary Gresham has answered in their favor. In making his answer the Secretary hae reversed all precedents, and turned his back npon specific instructions given by Secretary Bayard daring President Cleveland's first administration. Secre­ tary Bayard instructed Minister Merrill, at Honolulu, to "relieve the minds of all bona fide American citizens who, while honestly desiring to retain the American nationality, are, in order to obtain the privileges necessary for a residence in the islands, obliged under local law to take oath in support of the constitution of the Hawaiian kingdom.*' It appears from a San Francisco dis­ patch containing news from Honolulu, brought by the schooner Aloha Thurs­ day, that Minister Willis has relieved Americans by quoting to them the deci­ sions of Secretaries Frelinghnysen and Bayard, on file in the legation. In this he is wiser and more honest than bin chief in Washington, who uttered a threat to aid the monarchists. Portu­ guese residents have been informed by their council that their citizenship will not be affected by the registration oath The Portuguese will have the advantage of Americans if the latter accept as sound doctrine the reply of Secretary Gresham. If this secretary has ever done anything relating to Hawaii in a straightforward, patriotic, America'n way we should like to hear of it. Secretary Bayard stated in his instruc­ tions to Minister Merrill that Americans would be at a disadvantage if not t.llow- ed to take the oaths fitting them for some participation in public affairs. He said a refusal by Americans "would re­ sult in the destruction of any political power previously possessed by our citi­ zens, and its transfer to citizens of other assenting nations." In some instruc­ tions to Minister Putnam at Honolulu, Secretary Bayard also said "that citi­ zens of the United States who take the oath of fealty prescribed by the new con­ stitution of Hawaii remain citizens of the United States, and are entitled to be re­ garded and treated as such by oar con­ sular and diplomatic officers." The de­ scent from Bayard to Gresham is like the descent to Avernus. "Mr. Mead has been a resident of this county since 1844. In 1861 he answered the call of his country and served for three years on small pay and poor, shel­ ter. He now, for the first time, asks the County for a position where he will get larger pay and better shelter. Mr. Mead baa made a very quiet canvass, imposing himself upon none. He has treated all p candidates that have come to his home town with respect, and given them all the g consideration and assistance possible. Mr. Mead is the only ex-soldier candi- date for that office and the only ex-sol- dier candidate that has opposition other than by ex-soldiers, so it remains to be ^ "eeo*hetherMcHenry county win keep good her reputation of standing by her country's defenders, and giving them the preference in filling the county offices Mr. Mead simply asks a fair ehanoe and asks his comrades and friends to stand by him as he has stood by them in times past. Mr. Mead is in no combination, controls no delegation, but comes before the people as one of four representative . Republicans, who ask their support at the coming convention, and whatever the . decision of the convention may be Mr. Mead will be found in the future as in the past standing squarely on the Itepubli- ^ can platform and working for the princi- • pies of the purtj Qt protection to Ameri- : can homes." HON, A. J. HOPKINS. A correspondent from Aurora writing to the Inter Ocean on the political out look in this Congressional District, and of the splendid record of our Congress­ man, A. J. Hopkins, of that city, speaks also of the change in territory of this District by which Boone and Lake were lopped off and Dupage, Kendall and Grundy added, and says: "The district could not have been made to suit Mr. Hopkins better had his friends had charge of the gerrymander. He has DeKalb county, where he was born and has hosts of personal friends; Kane county, which has been his home since he left college; DuPage and Kendall which corner on Kane within a few miles of Aurora, making this bustling city the trading center of both, and he knows as many people in either of them as in his home county, for he has practiced law in their courts as much almost as in those of Kane county. While there are a few men in Aurora who would be glad to see Mr. Hopkins turned down their reasons are more personal than political, and for each one of them there are a score of able Republicans who are talking of sending their Congressman up higher when the time comes, and either promote him to the United States Senate or elect him the next Governor of Illinois. Whatever po­ litical honors there are in store for him there is no question about another term in Congress--his nomination by accla­ mation and his election by anywhere from 8,000 to 15,000 plurality." Siva, in the Chicago Inter Oce&n gives Cleveland this stinging thrust: Only the mightiest intellects can trifle with the laws of fate, and they only for a brief season. Destiny, that universal power which metes out to all men their due reward, has not waited for the grave to hide your faults. You march to fate over the ruins of party you have wrecked by sheer incapacity. The morrow be­ longs to him who can forget himself, and like the immortal Lincoln, lead because he only seeks to serve. Others may pity and excuse your faults, your arrogance, your vanity, your weakness; but the party which pinned their faith and hope to your destiny will visit your memory with cureea and contempt as they hasten to enlist under the Populist banner and secure the front seats in the Populist synagogue. The Duty of a Newspaper, Newspaper, more especially country newspapers, are oftentimes criticised and abused for printing all the news. They are expqpted to print that which is complimentary only, and leave unsaid that which tells of the evil deeds of the community. In this connection the Inter Ocean of Saturday, April 28. has a very sensible editorial which we give in part: "The prime mission of the newspaper is to record the news of the day, and to comment on So much of it as is worthy of comment. If the news be bad the record will be bad, if the one be good the other will be good. Th« press holds the mirror up to society, and if the image in the mirror is blotched and vile it is be­ cause the person imaged is blotched and vile. From the faithful reflex of existing conditions that the news columns pre­ sent the editorial writer, the legislator, the teacher of youth, the preacher, and all others who minister in ethics learn what is timely to be said or written. "We give full force to the Horatian maxim, 'Est modus in rebus.' We grant that neither art nor truth is served by depicting the cancer that mars 'the human form divine' while neglecting to portray the expression of saintly pa­ tience on the face of the cancer's victim, or the remorseful visage of him to whom the canetr has come byMnvitation of vice. We hold with equal firmness to the doctrine that neither art nor truth is served by painting the saintly face or the remorseful visage with no hinting circumstance of the painful cause. Take the Breckenridge case as an ex­ ample of newspaper work. Silence con­ cerning it would have been a crime. The wages of sin is death;' this was the moral conveyed by every decent news­ paper story of the hedious drama. Silence is the goddess invoked by every scoundrel. 'Let me alone; what is that to thee?' is the invocation ot every de­ bauchee. It seems to as ridiculous to plead that such a narrative instructs in vice. It instructs as to the brevity of the pleasure and the eternity of the punishment of vice. The fate of Made­ line Pollard cannot be alluring to any girl; the scorn that has fallen on Breck­ inridge cannot but be deterrent to some yoang man of brilliant mind and cloudy conscience. Self interest Is likely to deter from what conscience could not restrain. "That there are disreputable news­ papers is true; it also is true that there are few of them. Furthermore it is true that they are read and conned by those who are loudest in public complaint of; the 'want of moral tone.' 'Sir,' said a lady to Sam Johnson, 'I am pleased to find that there are no indecent words in your dictionary.' 'Madam,' said Samuel 'I am displeased to find that yon hav< been looking for them.'" Fruit culture is more profitable to the rarmer now than his other crops. Brown Bros. Co., the most extensive nnrsery house in the U, S , have a vaoancv in this section. Write them at Chicago 111., for t|eir terms. ' WonuiiMttifi Juries of Men. A few when a mistake was made in Chicago by which a woman was summoned to serve on a Jury, she was dismissed on account of her sex. A howl went up in some quarters to the effect that the law provides for every accused person trial by a Jury of that person's peers, and when the accused person is a woman she is deprived of trial by her peers, so long as women are ineligible for jury service. There is something in this argument that sounds convincing. Yet it is doabt- fal if any feminine litigant or prisoner will ever suffer by reason erf her sex so long as men are jurors. The Pollard- Breckenridge breach-of-promlse suit af­ fords the latest case in point--the defend­ ant, a man; the plaintiff, a woman; the jurors twelve men. Hie defendant's attorneys lost no opportunity of using the numerous texts which the testimony afforded for argument to the - plaintiff's disadvantage, and did all in their power to • arouse prejudice against her. But when the evidence and the charge were concluded, and the twelve men went into retirement to deliberate there was only one of them that leaned to the side of the defendent. The" others were all for the plaintiff, and they soon won the twelfth man over to»their way of thinking. The "tyrant man" isn't always so black as he is painted.
