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. —New Vork Sun. 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. Pear Quotations.

Ouvtx Bros, 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 ?
