No manly person can fail to admire the
pluck of the little handful of Bulgarians
in standing up as stoutly as they do
against the bulldozing of the mighty
czar anjl his truculent agent, General
Kanlhars.
Caitain Biiown, of the British hark
Omega, now at Vancouver, 11. C., and
which is manned entirely hy Chinese
Bailors, says that the total expenses of
the trip from Shanghai, China, to Dur
rani inlet were .<>00 per cent, less than
they would bo hud bean English crew on
board. Each of the Mongolian sa'lors is
paid $5 per month wages, the food for
each man for the same period costing
only $1.50, And this is what some peo
ple want Americans to compete with in
tlic labor market.
Some of our esteemed democratic co-
temporaries si ion Id stick to the simple and
straight paths of democracy. They
should not allow themselves to he led
astray by the seductive influences of
large appropriations, and particularly
such ones as are provided for in the Blair
bill. Does the Union see the point?
IIon. W. A. Little, of Muscogee, tilled
the position of speaker of the last house
of representatives with such signal
ability that it is highly probable that he
will have no opposition in the ensuing
organization. Captain Little is still a
young man, hut competent for any posi
tion with which the people of Georgia
may he pleased to entrust him.
'fun Bartholdi statue of liberty is so
nearly completed that there is no doubt
now that it will be ready for dedication
on the 28 th of this month. It is ten
years since the hand bearing the torch
was set up in the centennial grounds, ami i
that iH the only part of the statue re- !
mainingto he put in plaee. Serious peo-.
pie may doubt whether the sentiment 1
commemorated has justified the ten I
years of work and worry, to say nothing
of the money expended in erecting the j
statue. But enthusiasts on both sides of 1
the ocean have had their way, and New
York gels its curiosity in the shape of a
marvelous lighthouse to greet the hieoin- 1
ing emigrant ships.
Ax Atlanta correspondent thus fore-
on ts the organization of the next Geor
gia legislature:
So flu' as announced there arc three candidates
for president of the senate—Hon. -ioltn s. David
son, ot the 18th; Hon. W. K. Smith, of the 10th, j
and Hon. it. Pringle, of the '20th. The general
impression is that the first named will get the
honor.
Hon. W. A. Harris, of Worth, is tile only can
didate mentioned for the office of secretary of
tile senate, and lie will doubtless be elected with
out opposition.
In the house it is not likely there will be much '
contest for the speakership. Hon. W. A. Tattle,
of Muscogee, who filled the position so ably and 1
acceptably tire lust session, is the only prominent j
candidate and will be elected. Several names
have been spoken of in this connection, but so |
far as l can learn there arc no other active can
didates.
Hon. Mark A. Hardin, clerk of the old house, is !
a strong candidate for re-election, anil his friends j
have no fears of his defeat. He will ire opposed
by Hon. Cooper Noshit.
Is speaking of the proposition marie
by Senator Sherman to restore cuminey i
bimeialism on tin' basis of the present 1
market value of goMund silver bullion, I
the Cincinnati Journal says it would 1
require $1,000,000,000 worth of silver
bullion to raise the existing silver cur
rency to that standard, which amount
could not be procured anywhere in the
world, and would absorb the whole
world’s net annual coinage supply of
silver bullion for thirty years to come.
This being of course impracticable, the
scheme would necessarily depend almost
wholly upon the metal already coined,
and it would necessarily undertake
to obtain its supply by melting one-
third of tlie world’s coinage into the
other two-tliirds. This would contract
the silver currency of the world one-third
as a starter, which would be an operation
far more radical and destructive than the
most ultra uionometalie scheme ever ven
tured to attempt, as those latter under
takings generally content themselves, in
accomplishing their ends, to compelling
a cessation of silver coinage insteud of a
destruction of the coinage, as this infa
mous suggestion proposes. It would be,
therefore, as a means of money contrac
tion, incalculably worse than a universal
and total suspension of silver coinage
throughout the world.

When two great political.,parties.’exist
in any government, and are struggling
ea'*h with the other for the mastery, and
each seeking to control and shape legis
lation, then wo conclude that each lias a
policy and principles. In this govern
ment we recognize the existence of two
grout parties—the democratic and repub
lican. Between these two the govern
ment has been oscilating, controlled
sometimes by the adherents of the one
j and then hy the other. For twenty
years or more previous to the election of
drover Cleveland as president of the
I'nitcd States, the national government
was continuously under the control and
management of the republican party.
Republicans then filled every
office from president down. While
that party was in the
ascendency and while the principles
which they espoused or professed to es
pouse were in favor with the American
people, it was proper that the chief
magistrate of the nation who, by his ex
alted position, was entrusted not only
with the execution of the laws of the
land, but with the enforcement of the
nation’s policy as embodied in the prin
ciples of the dominant party, should fill
all the positions of place with such per
sons only an were known to be friendly
and fuvorablc to the principles of the
party then in power.
Duty to party is one thing and duty to
government is another, and the two are
not compatible when principles held hy
the one are antagonistic to the views ad
vocated by the other. It is a scriptural
maxim, which is concurrent with the
common experience of all mankind, that
no man can serve two masters. Is it
wise, is it prudent to trust any man
with the enforcement of a policy which
is contrary to his party or his individual
principles? Tn this government majori
ties rule, and the policy of the majority
is the policy of the government. The
cornerstone of our nationality is “vox
populi, vox Dei.” AVIieii, there
fore, the voice of the majority has
dearly indicated, by the election of a
democrat ns chief magistrate, that demo
cratic principles shall, at least during
his administration, lie the ruling policy
of the government, it then becomes the
sacred duty of the chief executive to
remove from place and position every
man who is known, hy his previous
party afiiliations, to he opposed to. the
democratic party.
Looking at this matter only from a
governmental standpoint, it is the duty
of President Cleveland to fill all the
offices, as far as lies within the
range of his appointing power,
with true and tried democrats. But the
president owes a duty in tiiis respect,
not only to the government, but to the
party itself which elevated him to the
chief magistracy, What claim have they
who fought against democratic ascend
ency, and who are still lighting the ad
ministration, to any political favors at
his hands? Are not nil the claims with
those who have struggled through all ;
the dark hours of despondency for demo
cratic triumph, and who arc still in full
est sympathy with the administration?
riien why hesitate to strengthen both j
tlie purty and the administration hy a
sweeping stroke, .which will place in 1
ullieo persons of known democratic
fealty?
It may ho urged by some that it was 1
not democratic votes alone tliai elected
the president, hut that disaffected re
publican voters of New York had a large
share in turning the party scales and
ilia! as a consequence the piv-nieni
must, in a mensuve, consult the views
and wishes of that brunch of the repul>- 1
lican parly designated as mugwump-.
Grant that to lie true so far a* the
state of New York and perhaps other
sections of the north are concerned, and
conceding that so far as relates to these i
particular sections that the president
ought to distribute his patronage between
democrats ami disallcctcd republicans.
Yet, no such element of defection from
the republican ranks existed at tlie
south, l>ul the Note, cast here was all
Simon pure democratic. -No iv.i-un can
be urged therefore why, at the south,!
the appointees should not all lie from the i
ranks of the president's own party.
Ineoiiversati.nl with a gentleman the 1
other day who enjoys an opportunity to
know the views of the administration,
we were gratified to learn that ttie posi
tions taken in tiiis article will he the
policy to be pursued by Mr. Cleveland in
future in the southern states and shortly
to be earnestly inaugurated and vigor
ous! v carried out.
support of all Undemocratic factions—
Tammany, Irving hall and the county de
mocracy. Tiiis gives the par'y a united
front, and thus the election of their can
didate is assured Although Mr. Hewitt
is a member of the county democracy, he
was nominated hy Tammany. It is, per
haps, well that the pressure of the occa
sion lias obliged the democrats to sink
their local quarrels and combine upon
their best man.
Aside from the fact that Mr. Hewitt is j
an excellent illustration of tlie best ele
ment in tlie democratic party, there are
other reasons that commend iiis election, j
Tlie Baltimore Sun says of him that in j
every sense of the term Mr. Hewitt fill- j
fills that requirement. As a manufac- j
ttiror and extensive employer of labor,
his relations with his employes have al
ways been of the best. In congress be
exhibited statesmanlike qualities and
a freedom from extreme partisan- j
ship that won for him the
respect of both sides of the
house, while his nomination by Tam
many as mayor of New York has drawn
even from the partisan Tribune the
warmest testimony to “his capacity,
purity of intention and absolute integ
rity.” Tlie New York Sun speaks of him
oh “a straight, fair and able man,” and of
his nomination, if lie accepts it, as "equiv
alent to an election.” It is to his credit
that he did not seek tlie nomination and
would avoid it if he could. He does not
want to go to congress again, and in the
condition of his health would prefer to
take no public office, especially one so
responsible and harassing as that of
mayor of New York, but lie lias yielded
his private wishes to the earnest demand
made upon him by the united organiza
tions to tlie end that the fusion of the
factions may lie accomplished, and that
they may work for his election harmo
niously together.
The Boston salesman who was lately
sent to the poorhou.se (he had received
$18,000 a year from a New York house
during a part of his life), is used as a
forcible illustration by a local paper,
which says: Two brothers worked in the
same store. One was the head porter,
with a yearly salary of $1000, and the
other was a salesman, who received $6000
per annum. The last mentioned had
only himself and wife to support, yet he
was always poor, owing to expensive
habits, while the first, with a family of
eight or nine children, grew gradually
rich, and lent his extravagant brother
$1000, which he found hard to get back.
This is a practical illustration of the old
fable of the hare and the tortoise.
