NOT REPUBLICAN.
The theory of the government of the
Uaited States is that sovereignty rests
with the people, and all acts, legislative
or executive, most be in accordance
with their will or desire. Of course
V the judioiary is presumed to interpret
the will of the sovereign people as ez-
' pressed in the constitution of the conn
try or in that of the several states, and
from the decisions of the highest courts
-. there is no appeal except in the quasi
right of revolution, which, if success
fat, changes th&ioroa of government,
but, if not, is considered rebellion
and those implicated are punished at,
'traitors. Congress-and thedifl'erent
legislative bodies of the states are sup
posed to represent sovereignity in its
individual and collective capacity, an1
their aets are presumed to be the e::
ponents of the public will. This is
understood by the elector at the bal
lot box, and by this means he ex
presses bis choice for the roan who
shall express bis views on all questions,
national or local, either in the legists
' ture of the state or in' the genera)
congress. For the members of the
upper branch of the national assembly
. the choice is delegated to the repre
sentative! in the state legislature. Bat
the intelligent voter considers the rep
resentative receiving bis support aa
under obligation to express his choice
for United States senator, and if he
deviates -from this implied pledge he
violates a trust reposed in him.
The theories of government in this
-country are in harmony with free in
stitutions and with the sovereignty of
- the citizen. In practice it is far dif
ferent. After the legislature convenes
the laws made may be such as the
people desire or they may not be. its
tenure of office is safe for a certain
time, and the members generally do as
: they please. If they desire a re
election they are more 'careful, and
may pass legislation which their con
stituents demand. The same rule will
- apply to congress, perhaps, with
- greater force, and the session which
';' has just closed is a forcible illustration
. of this. ' The majority of the mem
bers were elected as exponents of free-
trade and free-Bilver Democracy, and
the time has been wasted in profitless
discussion of public questions. In
England su:h a parliament would have
been dissolved as soon as the first
- measure introduced failed of passage;
but they were elected for two' years,
: and they served their time out and
went home.
The representative element in our
institutions is neither democratic or
republican, and, in many instances, it
does not carry oat the wishes of the
. people as much as the parliaments of
- monarchies. It may be true, that in
this free nation the masses are
supreme; - but they may become the
tools of politicians and offije seekers,
and our boasted liberties, by reason of
; the arbitrary actions of congresses and
legislatures, are often a' farce of the
worst kind. Suffrage is universal, and
the ballot-box is - the chess-board at
which political schemers use electors
to work their own sweet will. The
will of the citizen is followed as far as
it suits the desires of politicians, and
the more general the right of suffrage
the larger the field in which they can
' - ply their vocation.
a jx niw rani i ir r n.Jiii.
Apparently a new party is about to
enter the arena, says an eastern ex
. irnnr n a nn mit . n n n n
change It will not be- a "fourth" or
a "fifth" party, but seems to be de
signed to take the place of the Popu
list organization. The men engaged
in "founding'1- it are, according to re
ports in Washington, now holding
' meetings under tne auspices ot tbe tsi
mntauic league uenerai .lames u.
' Weaver, of course, is engaged in the
enterprise. Weaver has been in at
the birth of more new parties Green
back, Anti-Monopolist, Libor and
Populist than any other-man whcm
this country has known. He has been
arrayed under more banners than Al
cibiades or Talleyrand; he has fought
for far more causes, always lost causes,
than Solon Ubase or Samuel Jr. Garv.
As he is still in a fairly good state of
' physicial preservation, the probabilities
are that he will assist at the accouche
ment of the party-which, five, six or
ten years hence, will succeed or ab
sorb the one he is now ushering into
s the world.
- c : J :, . ic i. 1
ratio is, according to all accounts, to
be the on y tenet of the new party
creed. The Populists are to form the
nucleus of the party, and it is hoped
by its leaders that the party will draw
from each of the two great organiza
tions many of the men in them who
lavor iree stiver. air. xiana, is i

said, gives bis "sympathy" to the
movement. If be carries out the
threat bich he made at the beginning
of the present congress when he pre
sented the.. .Democratic silver menu
ultimatum to the eastern sec ion of
his party he will join the row organ i
action. Very probably many of the
Bland element in the west will flock
to the new party, but its greatest
strength is likely to be gainrd in the
south. The feeling of the silver end,
which is the large end, of the Democ
racy against the toond money and
Bmall end is almost as bitter as was
that ot the Breckinridge faction of tbe
party in the convention of 1860
against the Douglas element, though
unlike the 1860 vendetta, it will
hardly lead to an open rupture in the
party in the present exigency.
Thorn ia winrinm nnnnestionanlv in
the course ot the magnates of the new
party in restiicting its programme to a
single great issue. Heretofore the
third party men have attempted to re
form the universe over night and bring
in the millemutn. They made their
party a sort of Cave of Adallum,
whither flocked "every one that was in
distress, and every one tbat was in
debt, and every one that was disuon
ented," but they helped nobody. In
trying to do everything at once they
did nothing. This time they are going
to avoid tbat blunder. However, the
new ttiirJ prry is not likely to bring
on a political revolution. It will
hardly displace either of the present
big organizations and become the sec
ond party or the first party. The con
test in 1896 and in 1900, after all,
will be between the "Republicans and
the Democrats. The party will form
for a moment a little eddy in the par
tisan current as the anti-Masonic, the
Know Nothing, the Greenback and
the other third parties did, and van
ishing, will, like them, leave no trace
of its existence on the surfaoe of the
political sea.
ISRAELITES.
The anti-Semitic craza has again
broken out in the Grroan reichsragg,
and bitter speeches have been made'
against the Jews. In Russia a more an
tagonistic feeling - prevails, and they
have been bitterly persecuted for a long
time. It is within the recollection of
some now living that the race was per
secuted in every country in Europe,
and the first tolerance given them in
Great Britain was through the efforts of
the elder Disraeli, father of the earl of
Beaconsfiekl. Since that time there
has been no discrimination against this
persecuted people, and they have oc
cupied high official positions in different
partsf the empire. lathe United
States we believe there never has been
any genaral antagonism towards He
brews, and they have always enjoyed
the same rights and privileges as other
citizens.
Jewish persecution dates back to
the Crusades, and existing in the nine
teenth century it must be considered a
relic of mediaeval barbarism. While
other cruel practices have been abol
ished, this alone seems to remain, and in
countries where modern civilization has
made most rapid advancement. With
an ignorant people like the peasants of
Russia, there might be some excuse
tor prejudice against race ot people
whose habits of industry and economy
secures them wealth and independence
but with the philosophical German such
apologies do not apply. No intelli
gent man should discriminate against
his neighbor on account of birth or na
tionality, and the only criterion of ex
cellence should be integrity or honesty.
The characteristics of Jews are'such
as make them advisable acquisitions in
the development of any country. They
are industrious, enterprising and of
unquestioned intelligence. As sub
jects of Great Britain and citizens of
the United States they have been loyal
to the government, and their social
condition is as high as any other class.
They are never seen in the army of
tramps, there are few criminals, and
they are seldom known to ask or receive
charity. Tracing their origin back to
the dawn of history, they were wor
shipnrs of the true God while the
other nation, were sunk in tbo lowest
depths of. superstitious idolatry
Amidst the unceasing persecutions of
long 'centuries, and of all peoples, they
have preserved their identity of race
and purity of religion, and today the
same lessons of morality and benovo
lence are taught in the synagogues as
were preached by Moses and Aaron in
tabernacles in the deserts of Arabia,
when Isis and Osiris were the gods of
Egypt and the Olympian Jopiter and
Juno, ApolTo and Minerva were the
deities of Greece.
HONEST MONET THE BEST.
Those who place their hopes for bet
ter times on the success of the new
party the 16-to-l silver for gold
dreamers will hang them on fragile
supports. Money may be more plen
tiful by the unlimited coinage of silver,
but before citizens will be benefited
thereby they must have something to
give in exchange, and the value must
be commensurate with the labor be
stowed on the commodity befo e busi
ness will be very profitable. It is not
so much the scarcity of tbe circulating
medium during tbe past two years
that has csused depression in trade as
the depreciation of values consequent
on tbe change of the country from
protection to a free trade policy. Pol
itical economists say that certain met
als are too plentiful to be used as coin,
and scattering over the country
quantity of depreciated currency will
make it less valuable. 'Silver is at par
now because it may be redeemed in
standard gold at any time; but when
it stands alone it must seek its level of
value in the countries of the world.
Then tbe laborer must give mere work
for a dollar, and this will buy less in
the market. Money is not value
simply a convenient representative of
value and when this is debased by
unwise legislation the first to feel tbe
disastrous results ere wage earners,
who are the persons to furnish the
basis by which the cost of any article
is estimated. Honest money is tbe
ony kind that tbe poor man should
desire. It gives him fair wages for
his labor, and will stand on its own
merits tbe world over; but when it be-
oomes inflated or depreciated, tbe gates
are open to speculators, and those
bo must work or starve are taxed to
fill tbe ceff-rs of tbe wealthy. An il
lustration of this was had during the
civil war, when the paper currency was
manipulated by Wall street to its own
advantage; and we shall have a repe
tition of the same condition of affairs
with unlimited coinage in operation.
Silver now is as good as gold, because
tbe United States treasury is behind
every dollar issued; hut when it is
soned at the ratio of 16 to 1 or any
other, without the holder having the
option of having every dollar re
deemed iu standard money, it will be
far different,
WHO TS HE1
'F. S. B." are the initials or the
pseudonym of a writer who appears to
have been e filiated by "bad journal
ism" in this city. His complaint in
the Portland Sun of Saturday seems
to be because the people have been an
easy pray to "little country sheets"
that array themselves as radical ex
ponents of one-side of a proposition
only or as a subsidized organ of bosses.
These little sheets rob the people of
"their better judgment and honest en
deavora" by copying articles from or
gans. It is a strange thing for lar
ceny to be committed of a man's "bet
ter iudgment" and "honest endeavors,"
and only "P. S. B." whoever he is,
knows how it is done. Generally
speaking, judgment is the concluaiou
drawn from certain premises by a sane
and sensible man, and if this is sut
ceplible to degrees of comparison his
better judgment would be very firmly
implanted in his mind. To rob a man
of this would be a most heinous of
fense against the integrity of the in
dividual; but the party himself would
be particepa criminis and should be
punished accordingly. But it is a sad
commentary on the intelligence of the
victims when little country eheets,
"whose editors wear out more scissors
than brains",accomplish the almost im
possible feat of robbing such beings as
"F. S. B." of their "belter judgment''
and "honest endeavors." The fellow
has undoubtedly some sore spots,whicb
have been roughly trod upon bv ruth
less knights of the quill, and this has
caused him to give vent to his Griev
ance in a jumbled mass of bad rhetoric
and senseless English.
EDITOUAL NOTES.
Congress ha? acted upon the appro
priation bills and has adjourned. Such
a blessing will be thankfully received
by tbe people.
. Now that the Democratic congress
is a thing of tbe past it is in order for
so me one to comment on what it has
not done, and this will fill a large vol
ume.
Japan still goes forward on the high
road to viotory. Her conquering sol
diers will not stop short of Pf kin, and
in its own capital -China will listen to
the terms desired by tbe victorious
Japanese.
Li Hung Chang has been reinvested
with the yellow gown, and is managing
the affiirs of the Chinese empire.
Japan is too near to Pi-king to stop
short of complete conquest now, and
Chang cannot stop tbe.ji.
Spring has fairly opened, and it is
time The Dulles was canvassing the
subjpct "of, inaugurating factors of
development. A board of trade
should be organized, and this would
furnish a stimulus in tbe right direc
tion. Cuba's struggle for liberty, it is
feared, will be of short duration and
unsuccessful. K. brave people to be
kept suij-ct to foreign potentate ia
galling, and the friends of liberty
everywhere will welcome tbe day when
Cuba shall be free and independent -of
Spain.
The senatorial contest in Ida
ho, which has been waged for a long
time, ended this afternoon in the elec
tion of Mr. Shoup, who bus' been a
prominent candidate from tbe time the
voting began. Of course Idaho wants
free silvt r, because this will help the
output of her minei-;md Mr. Shoup will
favor unlimited coinage. Otherwise
he will be in the Republican phalanx.
Congress held a meeting yesterday,
and tbe capital of the country was
treated to a Sunday session. The dis
patches did not state tbat religious
services were postponed; but undoubt
edly tbe congregations were not as
large as at otber times. Those who
worshipped in ohurshes perhaps bad a
d.ffcrent idea of adoration, a-d an
ether being to whom to pay their de
votions than , those who met in tht.
halls of congress.
Tbe friends of Cuban independence
still baye some hopes of success, and the
citizens of the United States will ren
der every possible assistance consistent
with national neutrality Spain is too
far distant to govern tbe island with
any regard to local interests, and the
Monroe doctrine is inimical to monar
chies on this side of the Atlantic. Tbe
western hemisphere should he republi
can and monarchies be confined to old
Europe. Tbe world moves, and Cuba
should be a self-governing republic,
no: dominated by old opain.
ine nicaragua canal bill did not
reach a hearing in the house, and its
passage was very doubtful if it had.
On the Pacific coast this measure has
very many friends, as it is considered
the most available means of bringing
tne Atlantic in communication with
the Pacific states by watera.nd a cheap
means ot transportation of our products
to European markets. Ine next con
gress will be uuder the control of Re
publicans, and it is very likely among
its tint acts will be the passage of this
bill.
The Helm bill was defeated in the
Washington legislature yesterday by a
vote of 13 to 21. This was a measure
for regulating rates of transportation
of products on tbe railroads of that
state, and was desired very much by
the farmers of Etotern Washington.
It should have passed and become a
law, snd its defeat places the Repub
lican party in no very enviable posi
tion. The people demand legislation
for their protection against exorbitant
rates of transportation companies, and
dp political organization that grants
this will receive tbe support of citi
es.
The city council passed an ordinance
some time ago giving certain powers
to the fire department and also creat
ng a board of fire delegate?. Lis'
Monday night the same body passed
another ordinance that the fire hell
should be rung at 8 o'clock each even-
ng, to warn boys, and girls, under 18
vears ot age, to be at heir homes.
L ist night the board of delegates for
ade its ringing, and no sound
was emitted - from the brazen
throated bell. Which is supreme
the ci'y council or its creature, the fir
delegates? And, will curfew ring to
night? The correspondent of the Associated
Press has bad an interview with the
"father of Abe Armenian," as be iV
atyled From the inf jrmation he hag
r c ved the atrocitaes committed by
Turkish soldiers were not exaggerated.
Armenia has suffered for some time
from Turkish misgovernment, and
ruthless butcheries have been of fre
quent occurrence. It appears very
btrange that the porte, kept in exist
ence by the other powers, should be
permitted to carry out a policy of the
worst cruelty against an inoffensive
people. Tf there is not an accounting
had with Turkey regarding its treat
ment of Armenians by tbe great Christ
ian powers it will be justifiable on the
part of Russia, single handl. d, to chas
use the unspeakable Turk.
A new public school bouse just com
pleted in Philadelphia, named in honor
of tbe late George W. Childs, is an ex
ampin of the constant improvement in
the construction of such buildings. It
will accommodate over 1000 children
on its three il jors. E ten floor has a
large assembly room, with sliding doors
separating it in five divisions, and also
sitting and dining rooms for the teach
ers. The upper story is a gymnasium,
and the basement a playground fur
rainy weather, one of its rooms being
strewn with sea snd for the small
children, who occupy the first floor.
Tbe kindergarten room is carpeted,
has pictures on the walls, and an
aquarium and herbarium among the
furniture. What with the extension
of industrial trianing and otber new
ideas in instruction tbe children of to
day have advantages not enj'iyed by
their parents, and, of course, they will
give a correspondingly good account of
themselves.
Considerable space is given in tbe
dispatches today in the metropolitan
press to the marriage of Miss Gould
to a French count. A full description
of the ceremony is given, and the de.
tails will he read with the greatest in
terest by Americans all over the land.
The young lady should not occupy
any higher position in tbe minds of
the. people than the daughter of an
honest farmer, whose only dowry will
be a good name, and who must depend
tor tuture maintenance npon tbe in
dustry and thrift of herself and her
husband. Jay Gould's millions should
receive no sort of worship from a free
people, and neither should the scion
of French nobility. But snobbery is
very prevalent in this country, and
while sncbs exists and are tolerated
titled nobility and boarded wealth will
causa the binges of the knees to bend
in the most abjeot and despicable
adoration.
The tenor of political discussion is
on the sul ject of the unlimited coin
age of silver, and all other questions
receive little or no attontion. No one
deuies the disastrous depression in
business, and tb necessity of some
remedy. Bt-fore the Democratic vio
tory in 1892, tbe question of silver or
gold did receive much dit-cussioi,; but
since everybody has suffered from tbe
depression, free coinage is considered
by some as tbe one act that will restore
business to a normal condition where
it was under Republican administra
tion. This is very fallacious, for the
monetary system of the government
has not varied since 1873; but there
has been a. change in tbe tariff policy,
and from this can be traced all tbe ills
that are now being suffered by the peo
pie. When a protective tariff was in
operation the public treasury was full
to overflowing, laborers received good
remuoerat.ve wages, and the country
was prosperous, J) mancial stringency
and business stagnation followed close
upon tbe heels of Democratic victory.
and these have been growing worse
since that party has been in power.
rrr.m this it is apparent tbat if tbe
old conditions were restrred, trad
would revive, and confidence would be
restored. Pro'ectiou and prosperity
have always followed each other in the
history of the' republic,

An Explo-lou of Man.
Anuerson, lad., March 5 The most
destructive out oral gas explosion in tbe
history of the Indiana gas belt occurred
this morning, when a $73,000 business
block on Coii'thouse t quarts was blown
all over tbe ceu'ral part of tbe city.
Ia tbe building were a cloibing store,
Pratber's shoe store, Handle's drug store,
business offices, and a ball on tbe upper
floor .
Fire followed lbs ex plosion, which was
like an earthquake, and tbe debris began
burniug fiercely. The entire fire depart
ment was called not and prevented the
fire reaching the new courthouse.
Attorney Btllard and County Commis
sioner Metcalf lived in rooms above tbe
tore, and it is teared they perlehed.
The loss on the bnildiag and Us cob
tents will reach 1400.000.
The fronts of all business houses in the
neighborhood of the explosion wtre de
molished. paved streets were ripped open
and telephone cables torn dowc.
Io addition to the demolition of the
Terbune block, the explosion did much
damage. Tbe courthouse sod other
boiiaiogs were struck by missiles. The
fire bad little to work on save wreckage.
The contents of tbe stores sre scattered
everywhere, and not so much as a re

more than $200,000.
