THE CRAZE FOR LAWS.
As an illustration of the extent to
which the present popular craze for laws
is being carried, the American Spectator,
of Boston, tnentious the strenuous at
tempt recently made to euact a statute
in Minnesota compelling every one who
wrote an article, paragraph or line for
the papers to sign his or her name. The
agitation arose from excellent articles by
leading thinkers urging that all edito
rials and criticisms in the papers be
signed. A healthy agitation it was
ho|>ed would thus he inaugurated, which
would hear good fruit. Hut as one would
naturally expect, those who were pos
sessed with the law-making mania saw
here an opportunity for procuring an-
and acted accordingly. In

Mortgages are eating up New York

agriculturists of any country on the

Tlio American Spectator is right. W<
iiave entirely too many laws as it is now,
and entirely too few of them enforced.
And this craze for more laws seems to
ho spreading. The peoplo's party, com
posed of an aggregation of malcontents,
each with an especial grievance, wants
laws enough enacted for its beneilt to
control and govern the universe and three
or four other worlds besides- As the
demagoguos are trying to persuade the
farmers that they need more laws In
stead of the abolishment of many that
are in existence. In fact, the whole
world seems agog on the subject of laws,
more laws.
Where this craze will end Ih not yet
apparent, but it is safe to say that soon
er or later the reaction will set in, and
there will be as wild a craze for nullify
ing them as there is now to have them
passed.
The world is more or less crazy all
the time.
Tiihkk thousand negroes imported to

Brothpb John Wa.yamakek says
that he has had a sufficiency of the cabi

induce him to accept another job of that

negro preacher In Leo
county who recently spoke as follows:
“It ain't always de man dat makes do

dozen good UosBes, but wen it conies to

Romp it to have another daily paper,

has been business manager of the Trib
une for several months, and has consid
erable experience In newspaper work.
"Tup Tiubs-Uecohiixb wishes. the En
terprise much success.
Goveubou Tii.i.max, of South Caro
lina, lias thus expressed himself on the
sub-treasnry bill: “The sub-treasury
bill violates the alliance doctrine of
equal right to) all, special privileges jto
none. 1 don't believe that two wrongs
can make a right, and because farmers
have been systematically and out
rageously lmposod on In the past Is no
reason why they should demand class
legislation for thoir own beneilt now.”
8at« an exchange: “There aro now
three political parties in the north.
Practically speaking, there is but one in
the south." That is about the size of
the situation. It might have been
farther stated that tlie third party In
tie north is composed of malcontent re
publicans who have found out that their
only silvation lies in tho .carrying out of
democratic principles, but aro not yet
ready to join the democratic party.
Tup las' r.grcss made a large appro
priation iy those southern claims
which i, i been allowed by tlio proper
judicial tribunal. The treasury being
without available funds, the assistant
attorney general staves off payment with
a decision by which at least a year’s
time will bo gained. The pretext on
which this t* done is a flimsy and trans
parent one, and is only another evidence
of the desperate straits in which the
recent reckless congress left the pi esent
administration/
SHORT SERMONS.
The Emperor William has indicated a
great many reforms since he .ascended
the throne.
He is not fond of the classics, and
thinks it quite enough for a German
youngster to be fluent in one language.
It is also said that he is averse to the
use of French terms In* the menu and
wishes his subjects to employ the poly
syllables of Fatherland in christening
the dishes of the banquet.
But the most serious innovation with
which lie as wrestled is his recommend
ation that ministers cut their sermons
down to fifteen minutes. Ho has the
impression that what can't be said in
that time isn’t worth saying. He would
clip the exordium and banish the pero
ration, give tho preacher no chance to
get at his subject gradually or to leave it
with a “few closing remarks,” but sug
gests that he should follow tho example
of the bather on a cold day—take one
dive and then get ashore as soon as pos
sible.
Old I)r. Lowell, of Boston, used to
preach only ten minutes, and he always
had a church full. There wasn't any op
portunity to go to sleep In the pews, for
long before you could get your forty
winks he cried “Araon.” His friends
used to say that he drove only one nail
home every Sunday—didn’t tap at it
witli a tack hamtnor, but lifted his
sledge, let it come down with a thud,
and that was all there was to it.
If a sermon is good it can afford to be
short; if it is not good it ought not to
be preached at all. We rather think the
Emperor William is rigid.
DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE.
There is no sort of doubt that the
south is solid on two Issues. It is for
tariff reform and for the free coinage of
silver.
This should follow as a matter of
course from the fact that the south is
solidly democratic, these two measures
being the cardinal doctrines of tlie dem
ocratic party, but there is abundant
proof, aside from this general cause,
that the south support* both issues.
Kentucky has been the first state to
speak in the matter, and her utterance
was unequivocal In Sunday’s issue the
Atlanta Constitution publishes inter
view with tlie Georgia delegation in
congress, including the two senators,
and to a man they were for both tariff re
form ami the free coinage of silver.
Said Senator Gordon “as the national
demooracy is the party of the people it
should and will urge in the approaching
campaign tho adoption of policies look
ing to vital financial reform. Among
the most important of these are tariff
reform, the free coinage of silver and op
position to republican extravagance in
the administration of the government.”
These views are substantially the
same as those expressed by all the other
Georgia ''ongrc.ssracn. and they will be
endorsed by the great bulk of democrats
throughout the south.
The idea is that they are not only fun
damental democratic doctrine, but that
they must be pressed forward as the
leading issues of the next presidential
campaign.
The democrats of the west and a large
proportion of the democrats of the east
are with the democrats of the south iu
this particular, and that being the case
there is no question the next democratic
convention will do.
