WHAT NEXT!
The busy era of winter has passed, the
warm uavs of summer are upon us. and
the time for Sunday schools, college com
mencements and the usual summer occur
rence* has about arrived. Political mat
ters are getting stale. Congress has ham
mered a long time at those troublesome ap
propriation bills, and Mr. Hayes has veto
ed so often that the veto messages are de
void of novelty or interest. Matters are
thus lingering.
All the legislation passed at thia session
of Congress of any importance has been
vetoed. Everything that looks towards a
removal of the array from the polls is ve
toed by Mr. Hares. The people arc get
ting wearied and restive. We cannot see
what ia neat to be done, and sometimes wc
get almost to the point where we don't care
much what is done. If Congress adjourns
without appropriating supplies to run the
Government, tne result of this cannot be
foretold. It is claimed by those who ought
to know that the result will be disastrous
to all the industries and general prosper
ity of the country. A majority of the
people's representatives whose right and
province it is to vote supplies, have done
r.o. and Mr. Hayes has prevented the bills
from becoming laws, simply because they
were not exactly in accordance with his
notion*. If Congress makes nppropria
tions and allows the army to be used in
the future to control elections, then we
can see no hope for tho future; we have
no guarantee fir fair elections, we have no
safety againet the worst species of despot
ism." Tnese two great evils stare the peo
ple broadly and squarely in the face to
day, and our judgment is that the problem
is the most difficult of solution that wa
tver presented to American statesman -.hip.
It requires state craft of a high order au 1
patriotism of the purest type. On one
side is threatening Sylla. on the other the
dangerous whirlpool of Charbydis. During
the palmy day l ? of our Republic—during
the daya of oiir Washington*, our Jeffer
son* and our Polks —an army was not
thought of at the poll*. During the three
fonrtns of a century that our Republic
nourished, going on in a grand career of
progress and development, increasing in all
great interna! improvements and whiten
ing the oceans with the flying sailr of hot
commerce, an army at the polls was not
dreamed of. American manhood would
have blushed at the thought, and the hifh
toned and patriotic character of free
American sentiment would have repelled
with scorn the idea. But to-day. amidst
profound peace, while millions are patri
otically and faithfully struggling by all the
peaceful industries to maintain themselves
and recuperate what they have lost, and
while they are protected in nil their natur
al and political rights by the laws and gov
ernments of the slates, we have the la
incntablo spectacle presented of a Presi
dent who owes his title to the seat he oc
cupies to the most glaring fraud, commit
tea through the force and power of the
bayonet, arbitrarily and for the sake of
base party ends, by his every act showing
now 11 r'v?*h At
stifling its industries, of paralyzing its
commerce. - and of jeopardizing tlic inter
ests of all the people of this land, rather
than sanction laws that will guarantee the
rights of freemen and prevent a repetition
of glaring frauds that will be purpetrated
by the President and his coadjutors on
perhaps a grander scale in the future.
We say the spectacle is lamentable, be
cause it puts the position of a vast number
of our people m a false attitude before the
eyes ot the civilized world; it implies that
the great principles of self government on
which ours is based is a failure, and that
an armed military horde must be stationed
all over the country lo protect our citizens
in their rights. Republican governments
must stand or fall, by the virtue and intel
ligence of their subjects, mid a government
like ours can no more stand on bayonets
for support than the Atlantic and Pacific
could be forced to unite their waters on
the lofty summit of the Andes.
The theory, then, that armies are neces
sary in times of peace to protect is u false
theory; it is against reason, against the
character of our people, against the expe
rience of the past and against everything
of truth or ot right, and is only put forth
as a pretext by the falling dynasty to en
able it to carry out its fell purpose of rul
ing or ruining this government.
THE SHERMAN BOOH.
In the recent Republican Convention to
nominate a candidate for governor in Ohio.
Foster was nominated on the first ballot
over Taft by a small majority. It is gen
erally given out in political circles that
Foster was the chosen pruh t/r of the Sher
man wine of the Republican party, and
Taft the favorite of the Grant wing. From
this standpoint, the result is a decider]
Sherman boom. The administration at
Washington are reported as decidedly hap
py over the result. Indications point to
the fact that the Secretary is gaining
ground as a probable Presidential candi
date. If Foster entries Ohio at the ap
proaching Gubernatorial election Sherman
stock will go still higher. This w eek the
Democrats trot out their horse, and al
though reports seem to indicate differently,
we cannot but believe that Hon. A. u.
Thurman is the man to bear tin- Democrat
ic standard to \ iclory. He w ill accept the
nomination, and is certainly llic strongest
candidate that can be placed in the field.
Whoever is nominated by the Democratic
Convention, we look forward to a campaign
characterized by an ardor and zeal on both
sides rarely witnessed. If Mr. Thurman
is made (ho nominee of the Democratic
party and bears the standard to victory,
bis chances for the Presidency in ISBd are
Haltering. Thus it is seen that beneath
the turbulent waves ol the Gubernatorial
contest may lie the great Presidential
stakes, which both sides fully comprehend
and will play their hands accordingly.
THE QUININE QUESTION.
For some time efforts have been made to
induce t’ongress to remove the heavy duty
that has to be paid on quinine. The duties
are enormous, and while proving a great
and grievous burden to suffering humanity,
help to enrich a few monopolists. The im
port duties have been a fostered system oti
the part of the Government, but has been
all along fought by our best and wisest
statesmen. However expedient or inex
pedient the policy is and lias proven itself
m the pa't. it is universally conceded that
the duties ought to he mainly imposed up
on articles of luxury, and not on those of
absolute necessity. We regret to notice
l!:* the Wavs cud Meaj.s Cou.ioittee of
the present Congress declined to rtport a
bill removing the duty on quinine during
the present session. This ought not to
have been done. Congress ought to set
promptly and vigorously on this measure.
Physicians all hear witness to the great ef
ficacy of quinine in the practice of their
profession. Better tax all things else,
the clothes wc wear, the bread and bacon
that sustain life, than to continue a heavy
duty on this great necessity to those who
languish and suffer under the fell hand of
disease.

Colquitt In Brooklyn.
t'rau/ardrillt Democrat.
Governor Colquitt has just returned from
Brooklyn. New York, where he addressed
s Sunday School Convention. The Atlanta
Constitution greatly magnified the impor
tance of the visit of the Governor, by
stating that he would address an immense
assembly of 40.000 people. It now turns
out that the Convention, or the Sunday
schools of Brooklyn, was a very small af
fair. and the Governor had for an audience
only 4.000 people, instead of 40.000. Now.
it does seem to us to be out of place for a
Governor of a great State to leave his office
and travel a thousand miles to attend a
gathering of this sort—one which was
merely local, .and possessed no interest
outside of the city in which it w as held.
Governor Colquitt should have more re
spect for the dignity of the office he holds,
than to be running about all over the coun
try attending camp-meetings. Sunday
scnool celebrations and firemen’s parades.
We have not a word to say in disparage
ment of either of these worthy objects.
They are each good in their place and
should receive the proper encouragement
of every good citizen in high or low posi
tion. But they should be encouraged in
the right wav. nnd at the right time. If
Governor Colquitt feels that a wide field of
usefulness is before him in these gather
ings. then he should resign his office and
devote himself entirely to this missionary
work. The people of Georgia elected him
to the highest office in their gift, and nay
him a big salary for his services, and he
ought to stay at home and attend to the
duties of his position. He may think this
will make him very popular with the great
masses ; he should recollect, however, that
there are those who do their own thinking,
and when he attempts to ride religion as a
hobby to hoodwink the people, lie will
disgust instead of Ingratiate.
The Democratic Backdown.

“ But they have not done it.” Ah. well,
friend, it is all the same, they will. Hayes
will veto every measure at the heck of the
stalwarts. The Democrats will pass the
appropriation hills and come home.
The argument by Mr. Stephens, Mr.
Sneer and like saviors is; “ Make no
disturbance. Assume no responsiblity.
Take the issue and go to the country.”
