SATURDAY AUGUST 9 1880.
The Waco News takes a side kick
at David B. Hill not reflecting
that it will have to do homage to Mr.
Hill in 1892. The News has more
hindsight than foresight.
If the democracy of Old Bexar
county do their duty to day this ?Bth
senatorial district will not be repre-
sented by a man who lives at El Paso
nearly 1000 miles away from the cap-
ital of the district.
The democrats are paving the way
for a very serious disappointment to
themselves in their assumption that
Blaine and the leading republicans
are at outs.
The scoring that the democratic
assailants of Speaker Reed got from
the republican side of the house last
week has evidently taught them dis-
cretion if not decency.
The disagreements of Harrison and
Blaine democratically magnified
would fill a large b< ik. Seen as they
are they only prevent a beautiful har-
mony; the harmony of an individual
diversity agreeing in all general fea-
tures.
William Henry Cra'n has made
himself solid with his constituency
and the Beeville Bee that has been
buzzing most unpleasantly about
William’s ears has quieted down and
gone to making honey for the afore-
said William most industriously.
New York has abolished capital
punishment as a penalty for crime
and the two poor unfortunates over
whom the death sentence now hangs
should be given the benefit of the
change in the statute. “Thou shalt
do no murder” ought to apply to gov-
ernments as well as individuals.
It is not love of Blaine but hatred
of republicanism that animates the
democracy; and when they discover
that Blame is not antagonizing the
republican party but simply ex-
changing views as to party policy the
howl that will be raised against
Blaine will be heard from Duluth to
Pensacola.
The democratic congressman in
several districts are attuning their
ears to listen to the coming tale of
woe. The alliance people have noti-
fied the democracy in several places
that they propose an immediate
movemont upon their seats. Like
Crockett’s ccon the democracy will
come down.
Uncle Sam has paid about two-
thirds of the national debt incurred
during the war. The remainder at
the same rate of decrease will be
whittled down to the small point of
nothing before the century closes.
The present interest charge is so
small compared with that of twenty-
five years since that ten years will
accomplish as great reduction of prin-
cipal now as thirteen years did then.
TOO LATE IN THE DAY.
The Houston Post dishes up that
Belford magazine article to show
that the democratic party saved the
union and cites that article’s state-
ment that Grant McClellan Han-
cock Buell Sherman and others
were democrats. Yes it is true
they were democrats just as Jesus
the Nazarene was a Jew. Party acts
not Individual make up party
record. The Post knows and every
instructed democrat including even
the Belford magazine writer knows
that every resolution declaring
the war a failure protesting
against its continance and de
nouncing its further prosecu-
tion emanated from democratic
sources. Every vote In congress fa-
voring the witholding of money and
men and designed to hamper the
administration in its conduct of
the war was a democratic
vote. Had democratic counsels and
democratic resolutions and demo-
cratic votes prevailed the war would
have ended in less than two years
with the union dismembered seces-
sion triumphant slavery a fixed con-
dition of the colored people and re-
publicanism as a form of government
an unsuccessful experiment. The
Post does not choose to remember that
while there were republicans and
democrats among the union generals
and that while the policy and con-
duct of the war was purely republi-
can. there were only democrats and
no republicans among the confederate
generals and that the administration
of the confederation of seceded states
was purely democratic. It is not true
that Grant and Sherman were demo-
crats during the war they were dem-
crats before the war and the same
may be said of thousands and tens of
thousands who voted the democratic
ticket before the war but who have
never voted it since. The republican
party was in its infancy before the
war. It was its conduct of
the war that made of it
the national party the party of union
as distinct from the party of secession
and gave it control of the country. It
could not be otherwise. There were
but two parties in this country. The
party that favored the prosecution of
the war until the seceded states that
had appealed to arms should be sub-
dued by arms; and the party opposed
to the war. There were some demo-
crats who favored fighting it out on
that line if it took all summer but
the democratic party did not and in
its national convention of 1864 de-
clared the war a failure. The special
plea of a magazine writer that there
were democratic generals and demo-
cratic soldiers in the Union army
cannot vitiate all the facts of history.
These men were in the army not be-
cause they were democrats but
because in spite of the declarations
of democrats in state and nationol
conventions they were more union
than democrat. The headquarters of
the democracy during the war were
at the seat of the Confederate gov-
। eminent; the headquarters of the
I republican party were at the seat
of the national government and these
facts fix forever and irrevocably the
status of democrat aud republican so
far as their attitude to the war is con-
cerned. The republican party in 1856
was a very small host. In 1860 it had
grown strong enough to hold the bal-
ance of power and it secured posses-
sion of the national government. The
shot that was aimed at Sumpter con-
verted tens of thousands of demo-
crats who as democrats could not
support the national government
into union soldiers who repudiated
party for patriotic service. Returning
from the war tens of thousands of
these soldiers cast their ballots for
the republican nominees and have
been since lost to the democratic par-
ty. As a fact the democratic center
and stronghold is in the southern
states today as it was during the wtTr
and cut off from the solid south the
northern democracy have no more
possibility of controlling national
affairs than the Post has of convinc-
ing christendom that the democratic
party conducted the war for the union.

THEKennebeck Journal of Maine
finds fault with the attempt of out-
side parties to interfere with her in-
ternal arrangements and says:
“It is said that a Chicago distilling
firm has partially made arrangements
to open an original package shop in
Biddeford. The firm agreed to stand
behind the local agent and to meet
all costs of litigation. It guarantees
them and the agent in the sale of
them so far as money can furnish
protection. There are likely to be
many difficulties for this rum boodle
to surmount. A similar attempt in
lowa met with a reception in which
the proprietors were served with tar
and feathers piping hot. Before the
Biddeford plans fructiiy however
there should be a lawful power from
Congress to successfully combat such
an attempt which is made to override
the earnest desires of a majority of
the people of our State.”
Local option carried to the extent
of state action may interfere with the
earnest desires of a majority of the
people of any city county or town in
Maine but the rights of such majority
are overridden by a prohibition law.
This whole matter of proscriptive
legislation is so unAmerican that it is
hard to deal with it patiently.
