Tho object of government is to protect the weak from the encroach ments of tho strong, and to protect men tn tho enjoyment of their nat ural right. This is the object of all governments, and only this. A lit tle more than a century ago a gov ernment was formed upon tho prin cipio that all men are entitled to an equal degree of liberty. Ono hundred years ago this government was an untried experiment, hut those who framed oar constitution "budded better (ban they knew." Time has failed to shake our insti tutions, and every departure from the democratic principles upon which our government rests, lias been a dopa rt un? from civil liberty. If instead of aliasing those men who hold ollie*? and ."tining strife over petty annoyances and imagi nary evils, wo could organize to study democracy, and to return to the tlrst principles of our republican government, much more would bo accomplished. Wo need to study democracy-Jeffersonian den foe ra cy. If wo take tho platform of the national democratic party for the last twenty-live years, and com4 pare it with the legislation Of demo crats for tho past few year*, we And In many Instances that precept and ? practice are at variance. When President Cleveland said: "Though tho people supp?t t t he gov ernment, the government should not support tho people," ho enun ciated a grand democratic doctrine which is often lost sight of In solv ing political problems. Carry out this doctrine and what becomes of the high protective tariff? Where Is your "government of the people for the people and by tho people * ' What becomes of ''trough democ racy ?" The following extract trom a re publican newspaper, is, as the AVws and Courier justly remarks, stolen from the platform of the demo cratic party: "Other filings hoing equal, that is "the best government which is the "least felt and which meddles tho "least with the private affairs andi "business of tho people. Tin? prop "or functions of government ure 1 "few and simple. All laws should "relate to society as a whole, and "not to any particular ( lass, and "should aim to establish fundam^p "tal principles rather than special "rules. That is a mischievous thc "ory of government which attempts "lo regulate and reform everything. "There is more to bo feared from "too nundi legislation than there is "from too little. Meddlesome leg islation is a great and growing "evil." "That Is a mischievous theory of government which attempts to reg ulate and reform everything." Tins "mischievous theory" bas ob tained largely In Hus BtatO. The result ls, we have laws on every subject made to meed every contin gency, diirerent in every County, but passod hythe legislature every time tho delegation from a County cnn agree oh a bill. The great trouble is, tho people expect too nundi from tho govern ment. They expect and attempt to force it to do timi which it was never designed to do. They ex pect it to take the place Of Un church and make men religa us. Tiley expect it to chango a man'.; appetite and make him sober; to change the season- so as to make farmers prosperous ; to rcduco the necessity for labor; to regulate tho cost of living and to repeal tho Di vine law, which requires that a man shall work In order to live. Olli PAKMKKS COLUMN, It is tho alto of Til K A DVKRTfMKft to give to Its r< adels tho be d paper for the least money. It is our de sire to make it a welcomed visitor to every fireside, not only In Lau rens County, but throughout this suction. We are constantly roccv ing encouraglngmont from tho peo. pie and this has stimulated us to even greater exertions. We have added a sepe ra le depart mont, devo ted especially to tho farming inte rests. With access to the leading Agricultural Journals of the United Hintes, WO will make indi extracts and present in a condensed form such maller as may be of Interest and value to farmers. P.ut the special feature of Dds deparfnu?nt will bo original articles und farm experience. A throughly con.po tent agriculturalist will preside, and with tho co-operation of tho farmers it can bo made a valuable feature <>f the paper. Wo solicit contribu tion? from nil who desire to pro mote tho interest of agriculture? who believe that thero ts room for Improvement. And while thu will not In tho least dot met from tho other departments wo believe it will bo tho means of reaching many who do not rend Agricultural pu pers. Help, and it will succeed. The legislature rofused to allow tho County Commissioners to make arrangements so that witnesses :uul jurors could bo paid cash for their Services. This may have bot ll best, but lt SOC HIS to US Hitit something is wron?.'; with a govern ment that cannot be run on ti cits i basis. When ti inuu iu summoned to appear at Court Ito han no I alternativo but to obey, end tho spirit of our cou dilution and the nature of our government demands timi ho shall bo paid? The ?*nto per diem hi an low as justice will allow, und ls seldom sufficient for current expenses, aside from tho !<ws entailed by having to neglect homo affairs, when often In the midst of the busy season. Hut to ho paid in paper (hat cannot bo floated at par, i : it .serious loss. Call it barbaron-; and cruel if yoi: will, we believe that there ls greater efficacy and utility In thc whipping post as a punishment for certain offences, than any prison over con st ruelod. OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. ( J 'n Iii OUF ItCffttUt)'Co}'VCS)MHtU'Hl)m Washington Fob. ISth, I8S7, Congress has given ?ls attention tn a vast amount of miscellaneous matter during the present week such as tho Texas Ku-Klux inves tigation, money for rivers and har bors, retaliation towards Cunnada mul the trade dollar, nut tho most interesting debute occurred In tho Senate over t he bill providing for the increase ol* Hie naval establish ment. Thc Senate voted for thc build ing of ten nev. cruisers. Senator Maxey, of Texas wes not only in favor of building war vessels, bul Imt of fortifying every sea post in tho country. He knew that it was goliig to cost money, but he said it thero is force in tho maxim 'Tn time peace prepare for wer" this was tho timo to i ?ti t ii in practico, when the Treasury was overflowing mid when the money was being abso lutely wasted. Somib" Huller, of South ('andina wanted the vessels to bo heavily armored. M r Halo insisted that the pending bill confined tho new vessels strictly lo defensive not ag gressive purposes, ll*' was for de fensive purposes first and aftei that, if armored ships were desir ed ho would favor them. The l\yc features oil which CongSOSS wa llow proceeding wero tho fasl cruisers (making lt dangerous foi other nations tn engage In war wit 1 the United States, because theil coiniiicri-o would bo the prey ol'(lu cruisers) and tho coast defence; to prevent foreign Meets from bom harding the great cities of tho Uni ted States. Senator Ingnlls expressed th? belief that tho floating batterie: provided for in Ibo bill would bi practically useless. Tho Sonnie ililli been within the past few week, appropriating millions on million, not for tribute, but foi defense Wealthy men who did not cari linw tho money was to go had beei doing this, lie hoped that Hie Koli atc would pause In Its lu ndlonj career haig enough t?> get sonn tangible Information a- to hov milch money lhere was in tie Treasury, and how long tho "Foun tain of Pactolus" would alford tb golden stream necessary to mo'c the mil lions which the Senate wo SO recklessly voting away. Senator Dolph, had read for th Senate a newspaper clipping whlc! described an imaginary attack <? and destruction of tho city of sa Francisco, by a hostile fleet. , Tho he dwells upon tho present ?let ? ns? less condition of tho United Slate and said il was nader heavy bon to keep to keep the peace with a t!ni world and thai it would bo fi ii hu mi I int i ng disadvantage In an controversy. When senator Vest took tho flo? ho asked who was responsible ft Hie present disgraceful lack of [Milted States Navy and sea-coat defenses. Ht? knew that he weill he "thrashing obi straws," but 1 wanted to remind tho Senate nu tho country that there was not i tho history of thc civilized worl apago of nial-ndminlstrarion <-.;u to that of tho "Navy dcpaitmont tho lT. H. since 1865. It was ni tho fault of Congress that thc cou (ry luci no ships and no cons! tl fenses. ll bad appropriated shu tho close of tho war, nearly iJifiO (Miii.ooi) for naval purposes. If British Minister should inal#o sm an exhibit in parliament as tho 8. Navy depart meat from I860 1885, he would bo pursued out his place willi execration . Tl Son a tar boliovd that If this sessh were to last much longer, "Congre WOllld |>u( Aladdin's lamp into ll hands of a reciever." The House of Repr04cntatlv has made up ifs mind to tight tl President's veto of tho tug I'aup POnslOll bill, and tllO Senate course, will do tho same. Il ls 11 believed, however, that tho ve can ho overridden. The President's latest veto is th <>f 1 h ? Texas Heed bill.
