the passage of the resolution which it is
now sought to have repealed, and which,
without any good reason, gives away to
a railroad company, contrary to the pro
visions of the constitution, nearly $10),-
D00 of the people’s money. Judge Harrell
ha“ been untiring in his efforts to undo
the wrong which was committed by the
passage of this resolution, and he de
serves, and will receive, the thanks of
the people. The fight in the house for
his bill repealing the resolution was won
oy the skill and vigor with which he
conducted it, and the persistence with
which the right thinking members clung
to their convictions. Now let the senate
do its duty in the matter.”
We agree with the News, that the

the slate should he paid with the same
promptness as those due individuals.
There is no reason why railroads should

The Now York World is responsible

after Colonel Alfred Buncombe, of Bun

a line old English family, lie raised,
equipped and led a regiment in the rev
olutionary war. Fifty years ago the rep
resentative from that county in the state
legislature made a tlorid speech on a
local issue which lie innocently explain
ed was especially intended for Buncombe.
Tlius originated an expression which 1ms
now a permanent place in the language.”
Till: UUKAT CIIA SIMON 01 FBKK WHISKY.
The demagogue who cries "free
whisky” when the repeal of the excise
laws are up for discussion, is a very sick
ly specimen of Ills kind. He not only
needs sustenance, hut a good deal of
nursing.—Atlanta Constitution.
Interpreting this paragraph literally,
we agree with the Constitution. The
demagogue who cries free whisky is a
very sickly specimen, hut we are sorry
to say that his cause is championed by
the able paper from which we have
quoted.
But we suppose the Constitution means
its strong language as descripti vo of the
man who meets the demand for a repeal
of the tax on spirits with the,cry of free
whisky. That paper would hardly he
candid enough to plead guilty to the
charge it brings, so we must believe that
it means to apply this angiiage to its
opponents. Construing the paragraph in
this way we would like to see the proofs.
It may be unreasonable to question an
assertion made iu the Constitution, but
an assertion made even by so high an
authority carries with it more weight
when hacked by proof.
If the cry of free whisky is a proof
that the party raising the cry is a dema
gogue, it is only so because the cry is
unjust, and the assertion untrue. No
man is a demagogue simply because lie
tells the truth. If so, we had better have
more demagogues. What is there unjust
about tliis cry ? Would not the removal
of the whisky tax mean free whisky ?
A removal of this tax would make the
cost of tlie manufacture of intoxicants
less, or at least, would enable the manu
facturer to sell intoxicants at lower
prices than they now do. The consumers
would get the benefit, or the injury, of
this reduction. Making whisky cheaper
would have the same eirect as cheapen
ing any other commodity. It would in
crease the consumption ol it. A repeal of
the revenue duties on intoxicants would
increase drinking and increase druken-
uess. This is the effect and the only
effect it would have The Constitu
tion knows this, as does every other
paper and every person. The man who
asserts this tells nothing but the truth,
and if the charge of demagoguery lies
between him and the man who denies it,
the later must hear it as best he can.
It is claimed that a removal of this tax
would leave the states free to deal with
the whisky question. This claim is as
candid as the charge of demagoguery
above referred to and no more so. What
hinders the stales from dealing with the
piestion now? The tax on whisky has
not prevented Maine from passing pro-
libiting laws. It has not hindered Geor
gia from passing local option laws. It
did not hinder T.-x.,- to.I Tennessee from
having u vet.' U u he question. The
states are absolutely free to deal with the
question now. Can absolute freedom be
made freer still ?
What good would the repeal of this law
do? It would increase drunkenness, hut
that could hardly be called a good. The
only good it would do then would he to
cut off' the revenue which the government
receives from this source. If it is merely
Intended to cheek the accumulation of
the surplus that might he done in a bet
ter manner. It might he done by
placing on the free list the necessaries
of life. 1 f our high tariff' men, who want
the world, object to this, then we say let
the government cot this money and
spend it on internal improvements, or if
this will not do, then let the accumula
tion from this source he given away—be
thrown away. Anything is better than
spending it to debauch the morals of the
people and increase crime.
The Constitution is the champion of
free whisky. It must meet the issue. It
cannot dodge it. A denial will do no
good. The proof is too strong.

The democratic party has nothing to fear ;
in the contest ol next year. It is the party
of peace, order and union; it Is the nation
al party, and the only one. The republi- I
cans, always a sectional party, hare stu
pidly chosen to remain so. Their appeal
is to sectional suspicion and hatred. Under
t he democratic rule the whole country has
become unprecentedly prosperous, because
the d mecratic Aolicy is national and not
sectional, patriotic and not seltlsh.—New

If the Mormons wish to convince the
country of their readiness to abandon
polygamy, all they have to do is to abandon
it. ‘They cun do this just as well under a
territorial government as under any other.
They control legislature and courts, and
can pass and enforce laws against polyg
amy if they desire to do so without wail
ing to be given the powers of a sovereign
state. If they abolish polygamy in fact as
well as in name under their present form
of government,Jthey will not have much
trouble in securing admission as a state.—
