that James Gordon Bennett has gone

that he has gone to ransom Chinese

Rather Difficult.
As most of the “big dailies” are now
full of harrowing accounts ofmurders,
suicide*, embezzlements aud matter
u' of that sort, which, properly, should
not be printed, it is rather difficult for
an editor, who has a proper regard
for bis readers, and the morals of
those into hands his paper falls, to fill
his columns, now-a-days. It is very
^puch to be regretted that the tendency
of newspapers is towards the sensa
tional, and the most scandalizing the
subject the more it is elaborated. As
it is to be prestffued that the news
papers would not carry out this policy
save in response to the craving of a
depraved appetite on the part of its
readers, it is all the more deplorable.
Newspapers arc, to a greater extent

age, the pulpit, the educators of the

P have given our
'iceptable to all
where individual opinion is so freely
tolerated as in the Democratic party,
because these views are various and
conflicting. Some of them must be
wrong, and yet, when they are hon
estly held and advocated, they should
provoke no bitterness or condea-a
tion, but when they aie dishonestly
proclaimed, as a mere cover and pre
text for personal resentment and dis
appointment, they should be met by
the exposure and contempt which
they deserve. If, with sincere design
and intent, one. charged with party
representation has kept party faith
that must answer his party obligation.
No man can lay down the trust which
he has held in behalf of a generous
and confiding people, and feel that at
all times he has met in the best possi
ble way the requirements of his trust;
but he is not direlict in duty if he has
conscientiously devoted his efforts and
his judgment to the people’s service.
I have deliberately placed in close
connection the loyalty to Democratic
principles and devotion to the inter
ests of the people, for in my vmw they
belong together and should mean the
same thing. But in this day of parti
san feeling and attachment it is well
for us to praise and recall the truth
that the onlv justification for the ex
istence of any party is the claim that
in principle and performance its ob
ject and purposes are the promotion
of public good and the advancement
of the welfare and prosperity of our
entire country.
There never was a party platfirra
or declaration of principles which did
«ot nrotess these things and make
them the foundations of party creed,
and any body of men who should
«>penlv proclaim that they were asso
ciated together for the purpose of
training supremacy in the government
with the sole interest of distributing
offices and spoils of victory among as
sociates, would he treated with ridi
cule and scorn. Thus are we brought
face to face with the proposition that
parties should, no more than individ
uals, he untruthful and dishonest. Of
eourse in the supremacy of party
there are ‘advantages to its members,
and fids is not a mistake, but when
high party aims and professions are
lost sight of, or abandoned, and the
benefit of office-holding and personal
self are all that remains to inspire
party activity, not, only Is the confi
lence of those relied on for patriotic
•upport Forfeited, but the elements of
conerion and* of effective and lasting
political strength gone.
Honest differences of opinion, that
list always exist upon questions of
principle and public policy, should
furnish abundant occasion for the
existence of parties, and point out
their field of usefulness. Study and
liscussion of these questions cannot,
fail to result in more valuable citizen
ship aud more intelligent and better
equipped partisans. When we seek
for the cause of the perpetuity of the
Democratic party and its survival
through every crisis and emergency,
and in the face of all opposition, we
find it in the lact that, its corner-stone
is laid in devotion to the rights of the
people and sympathy with all things
which tepd to the advancement of
their welfare and happiness. Though
heresy may sometimes have crept in
to its organization, and though party
conduct nay, at times, have been in
fluenced by shiftiness, which is the
habitual device of opponents, there
has always remained deeply in its na
ture and character that spirit of true
Americanism, and that love of popu
lar rights which has made it inde
structible in disaster and defeat, and
has contributed a boon to the country
in the time of its triumph.

he consecrated himself by solemn
oath to the faithful performance of
the Presidential office, and pledged
himself to the preservation, protection

to review the jeasons for their party

between them this morning might
have been somewhat heated if it had

Gen. Wallace had just been to tell
Secretary Blaiue what he wanted to

the business which brought him here,

sends us the following:
Dallas, Tex., May 25, 1889.
Editor Recorder :—Enclosed I

successful way in which the farmers of
Texas are saving their cotton from the

Moultrie Items.
Moultrie, Ga., May 29, 1889.
To-day was the day for the big Al
liance speech by the Hon. Ben Ter
rell, State Alliance Lecturer^. and
everybody, it aeems, was invited to
come and bring their families mod
well filled baskets. By nine o'clock
our little town bad become pretty
well crowded with people, everybody
full of glad anticipation of wbat they
were going to near. About this hour
news arrived that the speaker was
coming; bat a short distance from
town. He soon arrived, and was met
by a l umber of the leading alliance-
men of the county and conducted to
Dr. G. C. Haines’ office, where he
was introduced to a great many Alli
ance brethren.
About 10 o'clock the county and
sub alliances ot the county met in se
cret session, and about 11 o’clock
the crowd was requested to go down
to the speaker’s stand, in a nice, shady
grove below Mr. Bryan's, whe^e the
speaking would soon begin. By this
time it looked like everybody in the
county had arrived. It has been
many a day, if ever, since such a
crowd was seen in Moultrie.
As soon as the crowd was gathered
at the stand the Hon. Ben Terrell
was introduced to the audience by
Rev. E. H. Bryan. The speaker en
tertained his hearers for about an
hour, carefully expounding every sub
ject pertaining to the farmer and the
alliance cause, which was listened to
with the closest attention. His speech
was so clear aud conservative that no
unbiased person could possibly find
the least objection to it.
After the speaker closed it was an
nounced that dinner would be served,
aud everybody was requested to stay
and partake ot the refreshments. Bas
kets, boxes and buckets were soon
coming in from every direction, and I
have not often seen a table piled up
with so many good things. After a
blessing had been asked by Mr. A.
Bagley, the order was given to ad
vance and then tall back, that all
might have a chance at the bountiful
repast the good ladies had brought
there.
After dinner the young people re
paired to the court house, where the
evening was spent in various amuse
ments. Respectfully,

The New Cotton Bagging.
In the matter of the cotton hagging
business we see how a great trust can
deteat its own ends. The Georgia
farmers having been put on notice
that the bagging trust was in opera
tion, concluded to take two mill;
yards of cotton bagging.
This itself would make a l^ge hole
in the trust, but it has been supple
mented in a way that will give it ex
tra irdinary effect. Ti e South Caro
lina farmers have concluded to order
the same amount, and so have the
Louisiana farmers. This six million
yards of cotton bagging will make a
big hole in the estimate of the bag
ging trust, and there is no doubt that
if the Alliance stands up to its prom
isee, the jute manufacturers will find
themselves considerably in tne lurch.
This is the natural outcome of
outrageous attempt to rob the cotton
planters of the south, and any result
that will save them and destroy tbc
trust, will be welcomed by good peo
ple in all parts of the country.
The manufacture of cotton bagging,
which will take the place of jute bag
ging, will establish new industries
and create a den^nd for the low
grades of cotton. With these new
factories in operation the farmers can
increase their acreage without fear of
over-running the market.—Constitu
tion.
A DISASTROUS WRECK.
Two Freight Trains Collide, Killing
two and Wounding Others.
Bridgeport, Conn , May 28.—A
special freight train from this city col
lided with the regular Albany freight,
bound south on the Housatonic rail
road. about 4:30 o’clock this morning,
one mile from Bull station, causing a
disastrous wreck. Both trains came
together with a terrible crash,wrecking
the engines into a shapeless mass,
telescoping two freight cars on the up
train, smashing three cars of the down
train and derailing nine other cars.
Engineer William B. Look, ot Great
Barrington, Mass., who had charge of
the engine of the up train, was crushed
to death* His remains were found
buried in the coal of his tender.
Charles Olds, a brakeman on the
same train, was terribly crushed, and
died in a few moments after thecollts-
John Lamontef^f West Stockbridge,
a brakeman. jumped as the trains came
together. His left ankle was crushed
and one of his ribs was fractured.
James McDermott, the engineer of
the down train, jumped just before the
collision. His shoulder was dislocated
and he was otherwise bruised.
The two latter will recover. The
cause of the accident was due to diso
bedience of orders.
A Cyclone Near Kansas City.
Kansat City, May* 28.—A digas
troua cyclone passed’ over elements,
Cbase county, this afternoon. Capt.
Brown and daughter were killed, nig
wif£ had a leg almost torn off, and
bis son had an arm and leg broken.
It is reported that six or seven other
persons were killed, but the wires are
all down, and no information can be
obtained.
A Railroad Hero.
Few people, while enjoying the ease
and comfort of a luxuriantly fitted up
coach or palace car, give a thought to
the person tilting on his engine, his
hand 00 the throttle, his eye on the
track ahead, who holds the destiny of
bis precious freight at his finge
save incidentally; yet there are evi
dences of heroism more often display,
ed by this unassuming tnan than was
ever the case on the battle field. His
position is one of great responsibility,
and he recognizes it, and rarely comes
op wanting in coolness and courage
worthy of his position. The following
extract, taken from a Denver (CoL)
special to the New York World
case in point:
With his body crushed and pinioned
beneath his engine, and his face so
near the fi(e that it was blistered by
the heat, the brave and heroic fireman,
Charles Lapben, made his last will and
testament. It is one of the most thril
ling stories iu the history of railroad
accidents, and ranks with that of poor
Ben Westlake, the Colorado engineer,
whose hand, though severed from his
body, still held the lever.
Laphen was the fireman of a South
Park freight train, that was wrecked
Monday near Baity's Station, 35 miles
from Denver. The train was com
posed of the engine and fourteen cars
A short distance above where the ac
cident occurred a freight car was pick
ed up, and, there being no switch, had
to be taken ahead of the engine.
Two brakemen, one of whom was
Ben Hedges, were seated on this car
as a lookout. A tew moments later,
when turning a short curve, a bowlder,
several tons in weight, was seen on
the track. There was hardly time to
signal, much less stop the train. The
engine and seven cars were thrown
into the ditch. Under the engine was
the mangled fireman, Charles Laphen,
crushed to the ground beneath the
terrible weight. He could neither
move arm nor leg. Only his head was
free from the debris.
The heat of the fire box ac&ed to
the terrible torture of the unfortunate
man. It was impossible to rescue
him, and he must slowly die in the
presence of his friends, wno were pow
erless to aid. It was suggested that
rater be thrown upon him, but that
w'ould not do. What with the intoler
able heal he would be scalded to
death.
Though slowly roasting to death,
Laphen did not lose his grit. “Boys,”
he said, “I know you can’t do anything
tor me. I have a good constitution,
and may last a good while, but 1 am
living longer than I want to, anyway.’’
Among the group ot horrified men
that gazed upon the scene was Robt.
Jacks, the engineer. It had been im
possible for him to stop his engine.
He had been knocked senseless by
the collision, but recovering, had been
Drought to where his partner was slow
ly dying.
The big-hearted engineer forgot his
own misery and pain, and bending be
side the pinioned form of his friend,
cried like a child “I don’t blame
you,” said Laphen, speaking to the
weeping engineer. “It could not be

some time. Hereafter it will not be
necessary to cut off water except in

Crosby And The Calvinists.
New York, May 28.—In the Pres-
byterian general assembly to-day, Dr.
Crosby got a motion adopted explan
atory of the vote on the prohibition
question, which was taken jesterday.
This motion was to the effect that
while the vote favored prohibition, it
was not to be looked upon as ex
pressing any political sentiment what
ever.
On the 4th of July there is to be a
grand re-union of all the confederate
veterans in Decatur and
counties at Bambridgc. Governor
Gordon and ex-Governor Perry, of up the- work.
Florida, will be present. '

Senator Brown.
It is said that Senator Jos. E Brown
is a very sick man and probably will
not recover. As a consequence the
penny-a-liners, who must manufacture
ma.erial, if there is none on hand, for
a sensation, are now busy prognosti
cating the future incumbency of his
office.
This as, to use a mild term, very
indelicate, and out of place. Com
mon decency would suggest that the
newspaper ghouls should let a man
die in peace, if he must die, and not
hurry him out oi the world in a fit of
digust at the unseemly scrambling for
his garments, before he is cold. We
have bad ioo much of this already and
public sentiment should put the seal
of condemnation on it, and learn news
paper correspondents, one horse poli
ticians and political whippers-in who
now, unfortunately, are too often the
■creators of high as well as low officials;
the proprieties of life. 9
