It scents that the Mormons, altlumgh
driven out of many places in the south,
have at last succeeded in eftoeting a lodg
ment ill a sparsely settled region of South
Carolina, south and west of the old Cow-
pens battle-ground. Here the did Mor
mon elders have made some converts, and
it begins to look as if all the lawless, im
moral and densely ignorant of that part
of the state should get together in a Mor
mon settlement there.
(tin esteemed contemporary, the st.
Louis ■ Ucpuhlican, publishes the follow
ing as a plank that would not be out of
place in any democratic platform :
Resolve'll, That ns democrats. recognizing the
conHtitutum as a gmiranteo of the rights of the
individual, we remain consistently opposed to
embodying in it any police regulation whatever,
and reltern'ing the principal that the chief aim
of government is to maintain rights, wc hold
that such measures for the regulation of the citi
zen as are consistent with governmental limits-j irregularities in a vast establishment enti
ties should be adopted not as constitutional , t „ k .,.. lU „|. There is too much i.i-
amendments, but asstatutes to the end that they | , ,
may be easily repealed when expedient, amt Thai ■ t"l\ed to permit them, it 1 - Ml Pith oil i
the right of the maiortty to change its mind may government. The civil service reform
be in no wi<e Impaired. j movement must continue until it uecoru-
as also are Florida ami Louisiana.
II is a noticeable (act commented upon
by tlic Agriculturist that the southern
stales arc more inhospitable to the fair ,
than any other section. “The Empire j
Slate of the Smith,” t leorgia, is to have
only six fairs, and 7>,“ of its counties know I
not the joys thereof. Texas has fairs in !
only six counties, and none in .'Hi others.
Louisiana lias only one fair, and III other
counties where they might he held. So
with North Carolina, West Virginia, Ar
kansas and other'southern stales. They
have too few fairs.
There are in the United States and ;
their territories, including the Indian
reservations, which count as counties in j
the postal guide, 2,74(8 counties. Fairs
a>’e held in very nearly half of these. |
Excluding the sparsely settled mining i
district and wild counties of the terri
tories, it will be seen that wherever the
people arc alert to take advantage of their
opportunities in connection with agri- |
culture there the fair exists.
Why should it not be so? The county
fair affords the only opportunity for the
great mass of the people to gather together 1
for amusement, information, or social ■
converse, without regard to creed or poli
tics. No one who has ever seen a county j
fair in full operation can have failed to j
notice there the rosy, happy faces, the i
faces .with content marked upon them, I
the faces of men who do not jump with j
dismay at every turn in stocks. These j
faces are borne hy the bone and sinew of !
the country. The farmer's pride in his j
fat oxen, his big red apples and mam- j
moth squash is laughed at by the city I
man, who never handled a hoe or tossed
a load of hay into the mow, but the pride
is as just and wort hy as that of the man
who collects bibelots and bric-a-brac
simply to look at.
Our valued contemporary, the Columbus (Gap
Enqvirer-Sun, describesitsdisesteemedcontem
porary, the Cincinnati Enquirer, as “the dumb
waiter of perdition.” Without accepting the
theory, we must admit that it does something to
explain the pitch of journalistic controversy in
Cincinnati.—Missouri Republican.
Ex-Pension Commissioner Dudley is reported
to be agaiu engaged to manage the Indiana cam
paign. His pleasing task will he toelec-t a repub
lican legislature.
A correspondent of the Baltimore American
(rep.l who has been traveling in North Carolina
says that “the colored people are well treated,”
and adds; “We made it our business to ask
'luarlv into the nature Ilf the I colored men, wherever wc met them, if their
11II-1-11’iII-' th“ < ' civil or political rights were Interfered rvirh, and
Evidently we shall b
view s’ns to the stability "four own conti
nent. Within a few years we have had
several minor shocks of this nature, and
now wc may have to contemplate the
consequences of a very destructive one.
Early in the summer there was news of
tremendous disturbances in the southern
Pacific,and New Zealand, an ancient and
chronic centre of volcanic action, was
terribly shaken. But a few days since
wc had reports of severe disturbances of
the same nature in (Ireeee. Now we have
our own part of the crust agitated. It is
probable that these widely-separated
catastrophes arc hut signs of the opera
tion of the same force, and that they
have a mechanical relation to one an
other. They may prove instructive cases
in the scientific study of this most formi
dable of nature’s operations.
(IKKAT I’Ol.lTIt Al. ISSI’K.
We publish an article from the demo
cratic campaign hook this morning which
will lie interesting reading. The com
mittee has prepared a historic review of
the holes made in the treasury hy the
sappers and miners of the republican
party. They find an aggregate, oil some
counts,of over twelve millions in defalca
tions, hut this fails to include the brill
iant piratical names of llowgate, ltobe-
son and Brady. The experts estimate
that twenty millions would about cover
the total loss.
It is upon this line that the next great
political issue must he made—an issue
for the protection of the masses of the
people. It is not a manufactured issue.
It is the inevitable result of progress and
the necessity of adopting governmental
processes to changing conditions. Jn dis
cussing this important subject, a contem
porary very rightly says that oil one side
of it are arrayed those who find their
profit in sustaining abuses whereby the
lew are enriched at the expense of the
many, and whereby what are really class
privileges are maintained. On the other
side are,.those who are awakening to a
sense of how they are being burdened,
and realizing their claims to a better
j state of a (lairs. It may be said that this
i is no new issue; that it Inis long existed. I
: This is true; but it possesses a signiti-1
i cauce which it never did before, and i
1 which compels attention. The people j
i see iiioit *

ttur i U spat dies this morning bring the
intelligence of another shaking up in
California. One town there is reported
as having suffered a great calamity. In
the lust few days earthquakes have been
felt in more than twenty states.
Earthquakes are no doubt necessary in
cidents in the history of every part of tlio
earth’s crust, hut the people of this coun
try have had the habit of looking upon
them as especial products of the fire-
scarred regions of Central America so far
as relates to this continent, and of asso-
Tlie people can no longer be deluded into ^
the belief that there can he any honest
acquisition of single fortunes of many
millions solely through public franchises.
These corporation abuses and the whole ;
mass of kindred evils rendered possible I
through corrupting the representatives
of the people and the conduct of elections \
must lie ended.
Here we have the general character of
an issue outlined which cannot he :
avoided. And looking at the records
of the two parties in the luff congress 1
it i> not difficult to see what sides of
this issue tlicrcimblic.nl and democratic
parties arc respectively taking. The ,
mposition of the repub- j
lienn senate ought to he a
revelation sufficiently plain of
itself, but with the tale of subsidies sup
ported, forfeitures of unearned land
grants resisted, reforms in the land de
partment cheeked, congressional railroad
attorneyships sustained, and more still
of hud repute, its attitude becomes abso
lutely unmistakable. The democratic
congressional record is in the other
direction, and the general tone of the
state democratic platforms recently
adopted is in the line of the policy tlm
indicated.
