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 ce the effort proved fruitless, erican Spectator, in conclusion other he this inst The A He learned that y even for him !

Senator Wolcott says that President Harrison will never bo renominated on this earth. Hoes Mr. Wolcott suppose that the angels are going to renominate Mr. Harrison ? “Cigarette Heart” is a now dis ease of the doctors. 'i he cigarette smoke hardens the velvet of the heart and extra effort of any kind results in the death of the victim. Some think that Mr. Blaine would not have a presidential nomination if it were offered him on a tin plate. Others, however, think his patriotism would draw him to the sacrifice. Cleveland is popular because his ad ministration was clean. There were no Tanners and Kaums and Lemons, and there was no lack of money in the treas ury while he was president. the Individual eo others I et UH hn tice; let us return racy of Jefferson, s’st«?nt with the rights of ■<* less la*v and ti or* Jus- o the pure, noble de? »nd «t the same time edu- o l tided, Mortgages are eating up New York farmers as rapidly as they are devouring the western grain fields. The southern farmer is better off as a rule than the agriculturists of any country on the globe. The Kansas farmers in the vicinity of Parsons, who were complaining of drouth a short time since, have had their wheat fields submerged by recent floods. The weather is never regulated exoctly as it should bo. Hard times has no effect upon Amor- icus so far as building new and costly homes are concerned. Several aro in course of erection now, and contracts have been recently lot for others, which will go up as fast as the material can be obtained. cute our young to ho brave, stiong clenn-souled aii1 noble-hearted citizen*. 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 tako the places of white men in the mines of Iowa will considerably strengthen the republican party in that state. Kvcry year the republicans are becoming moro dependent upon the colored voter. Tup. society girl la a rare artist. She can look at you ao sweetly that you tingle In every bone, nnd yet at the same time mentally sho la labeling you a “fool” with enough dams before the ap pellation to atop the How of the Muck- alee. Brothpb John Wa.yamakek says that he has had a sufficiency of the cabi net office business and that nothing can induce him to accept another job of that kind when his present term of office lias expired, This also means that John will not attempt to raise another *400,000 for a republican campaign fund. Tukbb Is negro preacher In Leo county who recently spoke as follows: “It ain't always de man dat makes do raos’ noise in church dat licz do mos’ re ligion, dear breddern. A mule kin make mo’ racket wtf bis mouf dan a dozen good UosBes, but wen it conies to gittln' up an’ glttln’ de mnle ain’t dar.” Romp it to have another daily paper, -ill. C. L. Frost has purchased the Alli- 'lianco Herald and will change it to tlie E nterprise e nd make itdaily. Mr. Frost 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.
