Democracy and the Alliance-
It is true that the democratic party
is the farmers’ friend. It is composed
in sojlarge a measure of farmers,mech
anics and other workingmen that it
must be loyal to their good. But the
democratic party cannot favor special
interests or class legislation; and
among the principals of the Farmers’
Alliance are some which it is impos
sible for the democracy to support.
'Lhe platform of the All ance is in
some respects a good republican plat
form. Its dislinc'ive idea is govern
ment relief in one form or another for
agricultural depression. The republi
cans can endorse the plan for a gov
ernment agricultural pawn shop, for
government control of railroads and
telegraphs. The principles of the
democratic party do not and cannot
be twisted about to countenance such
intrusion of the government into the
region of local and industrial activity
as the Farmers’ Alliance seeks.
It is difficult to understand, there
fore, how the Farmers’ Alliance is go:
ing to help the democratic parly as
long as the former stands by the
theory of a paternal government.-
Surely it will not help the democratic
party to sacrifice its prir.cip'es in the
nope of conciliating the Firmer*’ Alli
ance. Nor will it help the democratic
party 10 have i s conventions controll
ed and its candidates nominated by
members of a secret organization that
is seeking to accomplish it3 own
sp.cial ends, which are not the ends
ot the d.mocratic party. This is what
is happening in mmy parts of the
south. There is a prospect, in fact,
that in the next House there will be a
number of members elected as demo
crats who will be Alliancemen aud’not :
democrats. The Affiance m the south
is 'rying to force candidates for re*
election to Congress to subscribe to
its creed or get out. Is this sort of
tiling calculated to result in great good
to the democratic party?
Honest, simple and economical
government, with no legislation that
makes the government the financial
guardian of the business of its citizens,
is what will be best in the end-for the
rest of us. The democratic party can
promise nothing else to-the fanners Of
anybody else. It must stick to its
principles, whether for the moment it
is going to be helped or hurt by the
Alliance. The Alliance is for a year
or two. The democracy is immortal.

Buried in Quick Lime.
Auiiurx, N Y., Aug. 8.—It was an
unpretentious luneral that occurred
from Auburn Stale prison at an early
hour 1 his morning. What the sur
geons had left of the remains of Wil
liam Kemmler had been placed in a
plain pine coffin The coffin was then
filled in with quick-lime. No clergy
man was present, and no religious
words were uttered. The family cf
he dead murderer had failed to claim
his body, and it was interred as l>>c
law directs.

What the Next Legislature is Ex
pected not to do and to do.
There are some people and some
papers that seem to expect great
things of the coming legislature. They
expect a reform that will be little short
of a revolution. They expect the
"members to refuse all offers of free
rides of any sort from railroads
Other bloated corporations; to meet
promptly at the time appointed and
remain in their places every day and
all the time the body is in session un
less unable from providential causes to
be present. They expect them ip refuse
to take pay for any time that they may
be absent from thetr-scats except the
absence; is', 'jVom. providential' cause,
They expect them to go to work and
finish |n forty days what 10 other.body
of men elected to the same offices have
been able to do in a hundred. They
expect them to cut off all local legisla
tion and.it would seem to do no legis
lation at-all to speak of and yet to pro
vide some means n-hich shall do away
with all the'terrible" burdens under
which the farmers as a class are. now
laboring
We think that all tho;e who arc ex
pecting these things had just as well
cut down their expectations at once.
Some of these 'expectations may por
sibly he. realized, but the. majority of
them will not. r/.-. .•■■■■
Therq is .one.tremendous, question
remaining unsettled thatseemsto have
been entirely lost sight of,in the rush
for office. We allude to the claim for
‘ betterments" put forward by your
*"|" l ‘Unc'e Jostph." The last legislature
passed a lease act under which the W.
& A. Ry. has been.leascd for the term
ot twenty-nine-years, but-that body did
not decide whether the present leas
compahy ' weVe entitled to one dollar
or one,mil|ibn dpiiars for "betterments”
—rtn fact.il decided.to let that matter
stand until the road had been leased
10 a new company and let the settle
ment be made then. There are many
other questions that must necessarily
arise that will take time, prudence and
wisdom to rightly dispose of and put
in'shape.
The Savannah News thinks that tho
people of Georgia ought to study up
the Australian system of voting, and
see if it cannot be used to advautage
in this state. The state of Tennesseo
adopted a modified form of this sys
tem a short time ago, and under it the
city of|Clmttanoogn, which has usual
ly given 1,000 republican majority,
went democratic by 500 majority,
This is a strong argument in favor of
its adoption. Then it is said to ren
der bribery almost useless, and to
make all elections fair and open.
Mr. Gotham—Do you think'Chicul
go can make tho fair a success ?
Mr. Lnkc8ido (of Chicago)—-Um—
well, if it ain’t a success, it’ll be such
a razzle dazzling failure that every
body’ll want to see it, all the same.—
